  • Progress is progress, and it’s good to be skeptical (I literally just posted a comment saying “I’m skeptical”!), but progress is good. 🙂 What other alternatives are there?

    If it doesn’t make dollars, it doesn’t make sense. That’s why the electric car movement is having a hard time really taking off rn; it is hard to justify & all the tech, all our builds, aren’t exactly super economical yet. And they’re not built for tough conditions, heavy towing, long commutes, and easily workable & recyclable components.

    …but things are, indeed, getting better. If you look at it from a macro view. Lithium recycling can be done even a decade ago, but IIRC it was relatively small scale & the lithium could be refreshed “most of the way”, not fully. The right things will catch on when their time is right & its viability is realized.

    Man’s greatest strength is our shared knowledge, technology, science, and innovation. I encourage you to make good decisions in your personal life and be positive. 🙂




  • It’s good to be prepared before the need arises. These can be made, unused, put away for a rainy day. Maybe it’ll never be needed.

    This drone stuff is no joke, any dumb terrorist/criminal fuck with a few hundred dollars can get a drone & do terrible things. Evil people can never just be allowed to have the upper hand, with no countermeasures.

    Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

    In any case…it’s either stuff like this, or jamming propellers, or steel birdshot. We’ve all seen the Ukrainian drone footage.




  • Correct. 🙂 Reminds me of when I wanted new tires & I was complaining about how some tires were rated for a criminally short life. I wondered which ones lasted the longest.

    The mechanic then remarked that sure, they can make tires that last a hell of a long time & never puncture. But the ride would be so terrible because the tires would be tough, stiff, would work your suspension harder, and it would cost a fortune to boot. It’s not worth it. There are multiple material, usage considerations when making a product. Really makes you appreciate the experts in their various fields.


  • I believe I have heard over the years that it is good to subject your teeth to actually chewing foods. Idk about going extremely hard or crunchy, as teeth are still susceptible to wear & even breakage if the food is rock-hard.

    But the body is meant to be subjected to certain pressures & stimuli. That’s why astronauts lose all their foot calluses in space & it fucks with their bodies in many other ways, like bone & muscle loss. Coming back to earth…I’ve heard that teeth need to chew something, or they might become loose. Gums probably wouldn’t do well, either. This becomes more important as people slurp their smoothies, protein shakes, meal replacement shakes…I get the convenience of it all…but our bodies are machines. Finely tuned, very physical, machines. They need to be worked properly, or we malfunction.

    Potential source, but it mainly deals with gumming your food & chewing without teeth or dentures. Like I’ve heard, it makes references to positive pressure & stimulating production of saliva, features of a normal & healthy mouth.

    Chew real food, chew healthy food, swish with water after sweets, gently brush 2-3x/day…all good advice that makes sense.



  • That is truly hilarious. Idk if I’d stoop to that, maybe I would, because fuck 'em. But I’d be a relatively “active” bot, if that makes sense. Just leave it run on a secondary screen, check it often. Maybe while surfing the web, or reading a book. I’d be there! But all this clicking & clacking, running around, tedious AF. Screw that, man. I’m not your monkey. I felt it was just disrespectful of our time, and I guess I wasn’t alone in thinking that.

    Botting is dangerous, though, especially when you’ve got a powerful character worth a damn. I had a really good character, I wouldn’t ever want him getting banned. I put in too many good hours to get a ban.
