  • I think her attitude and presentation are crucial and indispensable. The federation is trying to claw itself back from violent fascism. Before the pendulum can find its center again it must first swing in the opposite direction.

    Once the federation has a complete and thriving culture of Not putting people in a torture prison for stealing bread, I agree that a captain needs to display discipline lest we slip into ineffective hedonism. That’s just not where they are right now.

    I think her presentation isn’t just an example to students, and a counterbalance to the strict boot-crushers that still abound in the federation, but a litmus test of how viable a change to the previous culture is. If she got kicked out for her bare feet or queer sitting style, there was never a chance she could effect change anyway. Which was one of the reasons she didn’t want to rejoin. She didn’t believe she could change things.




  • Unfortunately using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from this process to make calcium oxide (CaO) for concrete would release whatever carbon dioxide (CO2) you sequestered in the process.

    As you can see, to get CaO from CaCO3 you have to remove a C and two O’s. or properly put, a CO2. Doing this would actually release more CO2 than you sequestered originally because to get that CaO you’d have to heat up the calcium carbonate to a few thousand degrees again, burning more coal or whatever to create the heat.





  • Right? How in the fuckadoodledoo do you see a goddamn totenkopf on a middle aged man’s chest and believe him when he says he “had no idea it was a nazi thing! I’m just some blond, blue eyed pink skin American Everyman who had no idea his tattoo also represents the ideals of my own supremacy, perfectly! Huh! What a super super wow big major coincidence! I’m sooooorrrry.”

    Dude, you are 40. You live in a country full of racists. There is no way you didn’t know you had nazi shit tattooed on you for an entire generation. It’s not some obscure nazi symbol, invented by neonazis in the 90s or something. It’s the second most recognizable nazi symbol. It is only surpassed by the swastika.

    This dude is a fucking nazi. Whatever he’s doing and saying is a lie.




  • Go outside

    I browse feeds for about an hour a day, to get a feel for the information and mark anything I want to deep dive at my leisure. Outside is great. Creating things is great. I would highly recommend it. Even if you don’t ever make anything “worthwhile”, doing is worthwhile.

    Is rather die with a pile of poor paper-mache ant heads wilting in the humidity, than 1000 karma or 1,000 people who know me as “wireheadcrawfishscissors” on socials. I’d rather waste an hour under a tree, listening to the wind, than an hour listening to others rage and whine into the void.

    The world outside is beautiful. The one capitalism has created is a Frankenstenian horror of rotting thoughts posing as alive through the power of electricity. It wants to eat you. That’s its only goal. Don’t put your head in its mouth.


  • Bad like turning down the rear view mirror, covering the side view with my hand, and then asking a passenger to cover the other side view. Then still having a cabin full, and I mean evening reading under a tree full, of light.

    Bad like deciding to pick one single line or marker, maybe a painted, solid white line that’s right in front of my front passenger wheel, and concentrating on following just that one line for the whole duration that the truck is headed towards me in the other lane. Because I can’t see anything if I’m just looking around. I need to concentrate on one thing to be able to decipher the image.

    And my eyes are great otherwise. I have perfect color perception. I prefer to hike at night without any light, even if it’s moonless. This shit is just out of control. The stuff coming from the factories is bad enough, but these magats who make their vehicles intentionally harmful to others in every way they can, really make driving extremely dangerous for everyone.
