A few years feels optimistic. I’d wager on by the end of this year, at the rate everything is getting defunded.

I think people vastly underestimate the effectiveness of annual mitigation efforts by multiple agencies that have either already been cut or on the chopping block.

Many of these agencies go unnoticed because they work well, but will be immediately obvious once they’re gone.

I’ve got some ocean front property in Arizona. From the front porch you can see the sea.

We’re not homo naledi. We’ve been living in increasingly modern societies forever, and definitely long enough for it to be more natural to us as a species than shitting in bushes and dying of dysentery.

Anything from the Discovery Institute or the stuff aimed at kids by PragerU is usually a good start. Materials by Creation Ministries or any of the christian textbook companies is good, too.

I don’t have specific video links, but like I said, it doesn’t matter much. If you search for ‘christian curriculum’ or ‘christian textbook’ you’ll see many various examples.

e: they can speak for themselves just fine.

Why am I just now noticing Tesla’s logo looks exactly like an IUD?

Looks like a robot.

They might also get around like sea lions, hard to say.

Some people seem to only not assault others because they might get called out on it, so they assume everyone else is the same way. It’s pretty weird, and they’re really just telling on themselves.

Maybe even supplement with pedialyte if it’s been excessive.

It’s serious. They’ve been threatening this for years, but were blocked in various ways. They’ve spent years breaking all those guardrails.

e: this will show whether all the guardrails are gone (it kinda looks like they are)

This took longer than I thought it would. It seemed like a priority during trump’s 1st term, then it stalled.

Given some of Putin’s comments lately, he seems increasingly restless. I wonder if this is related to that?

It’s really only good in the original Klingon.

Excerpts:

The acceptance of Einstein’s general theory of relativity made time travel physically respectable, because it allows spacetimes in which the timelike curves of observers can form a closed loop. While some theories suggest exotic physics that open wormholes, author John D. Norton has proposed a simpler model in which observers, tracing out timelike curves, might meet their past selves.

An interesting difference between author Norton’s model and that of others is that the model presented here is not time-orientable, which means that it does not have a uniform, forward definition of time. Furthermore, it is matter-free and flat everywhere except for a two-dimensional singularity analogous to the singular point of a paper cone.

“A conical singularity is unlike more familiar curvature singularities,” said Norton. “No matter how close you come to the singularity in this spacetime, the spacetime geometry remains flat and regular with no indication locally of something pathological.”

A spaceship, traveling in a well-behaved region of spacetime, might then encounter this singularity and find its timelike geodesic to be deflected into its past. It would then return to the earlier, well-behaved region of spacetime and the spaceship occupants would encounter their past selves aging in the opposite time sense.

Guys, I fucked up. I have what was a beautiful two-tone colander that looked nice and retro, with a shiny red finish. After some use, there was a very tiny amount of rust showing in places around the rim, and my dumbass self decided to soak it in CLR like I do with anything metal that gets signs of rust. It didn’t occur to me that it would remove the gloss finish from the powder-coated enamel.

Now it looks and feels awful, like it has a dull, pink, rubbery coating instead of the beautiful glossy bright red finish of yore.

Is there a product I can use to polish it back to beauty? It wasn’t cheap and has been discontinued, so I’d like to restore it if possible.

I’ve searched online but my Google-fu isn’t worthy, apparently. Thanks in advance!

 

Animals live in an entirely different reality FYI

This video compares the perception of sound and reality ‘refresh rates’ between animals like dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, ducks, small birds, elephants, insects, etc.

Yeah I know. Sometimes the raccoon inside of me craves garbage. Leave me & my Crunchwrap alone.

There are many reasons you might have unclaimed funds (abandoned accounts, uncashed checks, misspelled names, incorrect addresses, misplaced inheritance and trusts, etc), and your state is required to hold your property until you claim it.

They will not seek you out, and most people are completely unaware they may have lost funds or property being held by the state.

Every state has an official (.gov) website where you can check whether you have unclaimed property and submit a claim. Just search ‘[my state] unclaimed property’.

e: make sure you go to the official state website; I just noticed some state search top results aren’t the official (.gov) website.

e2: also, check every state you’ve lived in. Moving state is one of the major reasons this happens, and your unclaimed funds will not move to a new state with you.

e3: if you find unclaimed funds, please comment! I’m fascinated to know, no matter how large or small.

You’re lucky – an overhead cubby and 3 drawers. Plenty of places to hide booze.
