Hominid, engineer, and suspected p-zombie. Trying since 1962 to infuse the enlightenment program with romantic sensibility.

Everyone is born with a single "wishbone", which grants a request when broken. Our contraption simultaneously shatters every bone in the human body, guaranteeing your desire

Have anyone tried to convert elephants to Christianity? It seems challenging but *perhaps* possible (over decades) depending on your criteria... hard to check whether an elephant has accepted Jesus Christ into their heart
Would it be colonialism to convert elephants?

This is supposed to withstand fire for several hours, plane crash, etc. I strongly recommend the use of empty spacer cans between your cans of Pu.

Read a protocol for shipping plutonium. Put pellets in poly bag, seal inside ordinary steel food can (1 pound size). Slide cans into steel pipe, separated by empty spacer cans. Screw on cap. Put in 55 gal steel drum, padded and insulated by discs of "celotex" fiber board.

Wonder where greenhouse gases come from?
Here are two plots I put together showing the major sources, and the different activities that create them. It's based on global emissions inventories reported in the IPCC Third Working Group, 5th Assessment.

That is, FWIW, the poor in Albany are still rich when you look at it from a global absolute scale. Relative wealth is more what ppl care about, the social comparison. Having enough to not really need others, yet being relatively poor, is prob the worst.

That clashes a bit with what you were saying, at the poor end. This may vary by social context, his research was in Albany NY, which seems blighted. Relative vs. absolute wealth matters. Perhaps it's more the absolute wealth that makes other ppl a nuisance, not a resource?

Yes, that's my drift. David Sloan Wilson has some research on pro-social values. Strongest in working class neighborhoods, not in poor neighborhoods (dysfunctional) and not in middle/upper class (u do ur thing, I do mine).

Another thing that gets lumped under privacy is the privilege of not having ppl in your shit. Doing what you want b/c you don't have to justify to anyone. IMO this is the main reason ppl can't be bothered with community anymore. Ppl are a pain in the ass.

One interesting behavior is when people go out in front of their house to talk on the phone. For privacy. May be related to secrecy. That is, privacy is (often) relational. There are specific ppl you don't want to know.

Seems like the artist is somewhat lacking in social motivation? Not exactly aspie, but something like? Th' edgelord take seems awfully normie here. "Wut? U don't get da meanings from the socials? U not trying."

But really. The artist is a puzzle. Lines pop out that read like irony but seem straight. Like, a Netflix subscription is cultural fulfillment? I mean, ok, but this is not the signalling I am used to.

Can we all agree to forget the Victorian Christmas & embrace the Restoration Christmas this year? Features:
