How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees.

Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings.

They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers.

The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time.

There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造り) became popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way.

There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time.

The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger. And, it's extremely durable.

This is true by the way…

Many nations throughout history have survived periods of population decline. No nation has ever survived the mass demographic replacement of their people.

Anthropic is buying millions of rare books, scanning and destroying them because legally destruction is the safest option. This was a plot element in the Vernor Vinge novel, "The Rainbow's End", which I read 20 years ago.

[Daily Roman Updates @UpdatingOnRome]

Over the last 72 hours, my account has been hit with over 100,000 anti-Roman attacks by Carthaginians trying to throttle my pro-Rome posts and suppress Daily Roman Updates.

Every time I post about the glory of the Eternal City or the victories of our legions, hordes of Hannibal-loving Phoenician sympathizers mass-report and shadowban me.

This is blatant Punic tyranny.
If you’re still loyal to SPQR and the Senate & People of Rome, drop a single ave! below so I know the algorithm hasn’t completely sacrificed me to Moloch.

libtards want me to hate billionaires and care about poor people but billionaires are doing cool shit like this and poor people are screaming at me on the subway in nigerian

We have an ethnically Chinese guy leading our most important AI company for countering China, and all he does is beg nonstop to sell his shit to China. He says that China developing AI weapons is not a threat, because we should just talk to them and ask them not to do that. And now he even outright lies about China’s compute capabilities.

We are a deeply unserious country, and we’ve learned nothing from what happened with first and second-gen immigrants leaking our atomic secrets to the Soviets.

Rumor is that during the Iranian protests, we armed the Kurds and expected them to give the guns to the Persian protesters. If so, our government is literally too anti-racist to conduct effective foreign policy.

I don’t know why people find this so complicated.

There is money in fraud.

There is no money in stopping the fraud.

Read that again.

If big box pokemon retailers really wanted to print they would say you get access to buying cards at MSRP along with any other $200 purchase in store.

Idk why they don't use them to drive traffic through the rest of the store.
