NASA posted this photo of Ireland taken on a near-cloudless day
from its Aqua satellite in 2010
Hungary has a musical road. Ancient Tibet library. Supposedly, how the Egyptians built the pyramids. According to this, the stones of the pyramids aren't stones, but blocks of concrete made in forms. And... they made "lava rocks" by using an immense lens to concentrate the power of the sun and melt stone into forms? Yeah I think it's simpler to say "aliens did it." Color blind boy puts on glasses that correct his vision so that he sees the correct colors for the first time. At least that's what I think this is. The caption says he "sees colors for the first time," but color blind people see colors. They just can't distinguish between certain colors. Feeding a stray mama dog, as she feeds her puppies. I'm not saying this is a sign of the apocalypse, but I'm also not saying it isn't. Wringing a wet towel in zero gravity. Okay, microgravity, Pointdexter. A young Tiger Woods takes a shot. Olde-Timey inventions. The past is a different country. A better country. Charging a Nokia 3310 phone with... one million volts. Paris in the 1920s. Kids at the beach, 1896. Astonishing magic! Playing with fire can be hilarious. Extremely dangerous motorcycle racing, but commenters on Twitter say it's videogame footage. Videogames now look photorealistic? Wow.

There was a much better explanation posted a couple of years ago. If I remember right, it involved getting the blocks stood on end, by toppling them into pits, and then teetering them from side to side, while applying pressure to force them forward, effectively "walking" them. I have done it with refrigerators; takes surprisingly little effort once you get a rhythm going.

I saw a really good video that showed evidence from the pyramids themselves how several sections were built and it looked great, I'll have to see if I can find it.
But no, I meant the main body of the pyramid as opposed to its exterior layer. They used to be smooth with a golden cap, but over time people robbed the pyramids for stone to build houses and stuff.

This is one of the things that I worry about Desantis on. Does he have the level of wealth required to defend himself from these constant attacks? Does he have the wealth required to put his family through the constant attacks? Or the personal security required, knowing that the company men are compromised and that physical attacks are a reality, too?
Is his daughter's boyfriend's car safe from exploding in a massive fireball that launches it across traffic after a slight sideswipe impact?
The Democrats aren't f*cking around any longer. They're shown they intend to arrest anyone who threatens them or their power, and the level of pursuit adjusts to the personality/office. Heck, some poor J6 bastard is facing a year in prison for going into a building and immediately exiting the building.

Scientific Regress

Worth a read. Here's a bit:
"Assuming that all the tests involved have a high statistical power, the lone positive finding is almost certainly the spurious one. However, when it comes time to report these findings, what happens? The teams that found a negative result may not even bother to write up their non-discovery. After all, a report that a fanciful connection probably isn’t true is not the stuff of which scientific prizes, grant money, and tenure decisions are made. "

anyway, they're making up a whole set of facts that they spoon fed to cohen as part of his plea deal.
it's not that paying off stormy (by trump's lawyer using his own money) was bad, it's that trump somehow was advised this was against the law and them doing it together is like double bad.

Yep. I suspect this will trigger something along the lines of OKC, though, and the responsive crackdown will begin in earnest and be beyond anything we have seen--yet. But for the most part, Normie will keep on grazing. Unless some personal lines are crossed, I will keep on munching right along with them. It's the same story of every police state before this one, and I'm as much at fault as any other cow waiting slaughter.

Lech Walesa, to some degree, but he had a big power behind him--the same one now devolving into a police state. I hate Trump on some levels, but he's the most important figure not just in American but Western history at this point. The police state around us is if anything more vicious than the one that was in Moscow.

And the current bailout of leftist SVB, with Yellen saying "we will decide to bailout the big (globalist/corrupt) banks, and not the small banks ... hence sinking all small banks. (just as they did with shut down ... which made WalMart and Amazon much richer, small business destroyed)

Trump hasn't done squat. This Affirmative Action DA ran on going after Trump. They've lied and accused him of treason. They've lied and accused him of stealing classified documents. Now this idiotic Stormy Daniels bullshit again. They've spent 6 years trying to destroy him and never blinks despite what it has cost him and his family.
The only baiting Trump has done is be the one absolutely fearless person who has told them to go fuck themselves. I have no idea why some spend so much time picking at Trump's admitted faults and never recognize he is the one person who has done more to expose those marxist assholes than anyone ever.
The reason Trump is, despite what DeSantis supporters here say, the undisputed leader of the new Republican party is because he fights and that's why they attack him relentlessly. And I have no doubt he will this time just as he has for the last 6 years.

You have to actually care about people *and* have the backing of your boss to get stuff done. Some of the employees were distant relatives by marriage (Pooky's related to half the county) and so if they got hurt, I'd hear about it at the dinner table. My boss was willing to tell the safety supply clerk that no, we NEED more bandaids because they get used and it's better that they get used at work than wind up in the ER and cost the company more money.

Orange vests mean something completely different when you're in a factory making traffic paint: It means you're part of the marking crew and therefore have one of the most dangerous jobs.

Went to Ireland years ago, stepped into a pub & asked for a Guinness. There was a strike going on; no Guiness! Asked for a Shepard pie for dinner. The pub owner reached into a freezer, pulled out a pre-packaged meal, stuck it a microwave. I was driving in Sligo, saw a beautiful castle, got out of the car & walked to the main gate. Hounds were unleashed. It was Classiebawn Castle inherited by Countess Mountbatten and her husband, the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. The Earl - related to the British Royal family - had been assassinated August 1979.
But despite little glitches, it was a wonderful trip & because of my surname, I could have drank my way across Ireland at that time if I had so chosen. (I didn't.) Still hanging on thin hope to return. 🤞
Growing up, we were told don't marry Italians, they beat their wives. The Italians girls were told don't marry Irish, they beat their wives. The Irish & Italians largely married anyway. The other nationalities in the area said, Those Europeans are all crazy! 😉 'nite.
