“Conspiracy theory” was also a term invented by alphabet agencies to discredit real rumors about intelligence agency work that leaked

Don’t forget having pictures, videos, and emails from high ranking and powerful people diddling kids provided by the Mossad agent Epstein…
No, they hire nobody and pretend they’re hiring so shareholders perceive them as successful and growing. The work from that role gets distributed among the employees who are still working there, eventually leading them all to work 70-80 hours a week and feel like they’re doing 3 jobs at once the entire time.
All of the best employees left, or those who don’t have sick family members or their own “pre existing conditions” so the company is left overworking under-performers and mediocre employees who couldn’t get hired elsewhere, or who are severely burned out trying to afford their wife’s chemo
The French would call it a high tension change in your life…
If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.
I eat enough fiber if I don’t go multiple times a day I could literally explode
Athenian democracies solve a lot of our current issues. It’s a bit like jury duty. You put your own name down and can be picked for roles in government.
France did that after the yellow vest protests. They randomly picked 100 citizens to lead a citizens Senate to propose solutions, and Macron promised to implement their suggestions (he lied. Only partial implementation happened)
One of the emergent properties to picking 100 random citizens is you get close to a random sample of society. Rich and poor, left and right all with different perspectives and life experiences. They all have to argue their perspective and back it up with evidence for it to function properly.
They also can’t be bought out the same way as entrenched parties. The candidates are random. Nobody knows until the results are announced.
It also results in a much stronger sense of civic duty for the average citizen when you participate in the civic process regularly like this.
This video does a far better job than I can making the case for them

I’ll just leave this here

British person detected? Or maybe you’re just from Vancouver?
There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.
Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.
Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world
Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now
Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.
Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries
Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.
Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.
152·6 days agoYeah this is a well known tactic in the US government. Backdoor dealings outline how to make a split vote and pick a fall guy to protect the party’s image.
I.e. the Democrats failing to stop Trump’s war in Iran a few weeks ago where some random nobody was the fall guy that time. It looks like Democrats tried but failed and they can blame it on some inconsequential Rando who isn’t up for reelection
The military industrial complex owns everything. The machine exists for their benefit.

😱😱 Democrats are so weak and misguided! They can’t oppose Republicans properly! We need to fight over this more instead of considering a 3rd party that breaks this entire dynamic (maybe call it the wrench party?)
I edited my original comment to append info to clarify. Deleting it would remove an important part of this whole conversation I think.
If you read my sources (and my previous comments, “as per my last email”) a lot of these biases and headwinds disappear with education. As stupid as it sounds, just running an ad going “a black female candidate can garner just as much political support as a white male candidate” can have a strong effect in her campaign.
The core disagreement I think we’re having is whether or not this should even be identified as an issue. I believe it should be as per my previous comments.
as far as I can tell, you don’t think it’s an issue and shouldn’t be contented in an election
Clickspring is a great maker channel that feels like 20-40 minute long episodes of how it’s made (kinda)
He has playlists of his projects and he’s been making a period correct reproduction of the antikythra mechanism using the same bronze age tools of the ancient makers who created the original.
EEVBlog is fun if you know electronics and want to learn more. He does a phenomenal series on parts and pieces. He’s a layman’s wikipedia on “what’s an FPGA and why should I know?” As opposed to the more electrical engineering centric sources out there where you already need to know a lot to understand it. He’s entertaining and high energy (honestly he strikes me as someone with self managed bipolar or something. That’s the vibe I get since I’ve been friends with at least 4 others who present similar to Dave)
Tasting history, 18th century cooking, and table of the gods are both great historical cooking channels. Some of them will give the recipes for free for you to try at home.
Huygen’s optics is a channel run by a understated genius. He explains how optics and optical manufacturing works and he runs his own precision optics workshop in his basement. He once made a spirit bubble level for his pool table with an internal radius of like I’m (meaning it’s like carving a 15cm diameter circle out of a 16m wide sphere) so his level had like sub-arcsecond resolution iirc? A human hair underneath it would throw it off scale.
Applied Science is another amazing Science & engineering channel. He made his own back scatter computed tomography machine with a lazy Suzan, an X-ray tube, an Arduino, and a X-ray phosphorescence developer box/camera.
