@imkharn @HashZappa “That was the time when Prometheus brought them fire, Hephaestus and Athene taught them arts, and other gods gave them seeds and plants.”

More of @Graham__Hancock ‘s civilizing heroes perhaps?

@MLewandowska Being pre-reformation, could the Protestants cite the same tradition?

@infantrydort An oldie but a goody.

Architecture in space should be more beautiful than Paris. Nobody will move to the Moon or Mars to live in an Apple Store.

We need fantasy scifi art levels of beauty in space settlements.

@cesscabral Well, it’s a 3-4-5 right angle triangle, so 4 squared is 16.

There's a flip side to that argument, (NOT a disagreement), in that what bullying does occur has the target constantly told to either ignore it or report it to an authority figure.

The honest truth that simply fighting back, and being CAPABLE of fighting back, ends most bullying. And the difference between a peaceful man and a harmless one is that a peaceful man can be violent as needed.

@Jringo1508 I do think that orbital defenestration will become a viable execution mechanism in future years

@SunWeatherMan Is that a spray or a trail?

@SCShipyards Having actually fired it, I can tell you it has NO muzzle flip. At all. The recoil travels in a straight line down your forearm, compared to a normal revolver recoiling in a line OVER your forearm.

I'm of mixed feelings regarding this work.

On the one hand resolving the Giza plateau sea level issue is impressive work, and being from State 2 to State 1 appears to reconcile well with the evidence.

On the other hand, I'm Aussie. So when I'm not going "oh f*ck" on loop I"m trying to figure out an evac strategy...

@boriquagato @DefiantLs Can we swap? I’d like to escape Australia…

I don't think women really understand this...

Men can stop this. They can stop it almost immediately. Vigilante and extrajudicial means will be sufficient to deal with this, but they won't.

In my observations, a lot of men would LOVE to handle this. They fantasize about it. Yet they refuse to do it. Why?

Surely, some of it is cowardice and whatnot but the real reason is that they believe that the second they did, women would throw them under the bus instead of being grateful.

The tragedy is that I suspect they're right.

I don't think that modern women would show gratitude. I think they would be repulsed by the violence used on their behalf, and would feel guilty (like Helen of Troy did). They would twist it (the ideology is already in place) and turn it against men, and transfer their affections and sympathies to the men who would victimize them rather than the men who'd protect them.

We've already seen this play out in Europe so it's not wild speculation.

If a neighborhood decided to start a neighborhood watch that "handled" immigrant criminals in a severe manner, they'd have no reason to think that they wouldn't be turned in immediately by their local women. Everyone knows it too. They know that there's some boomer or "woke" girl, or just some "nice Christian" girl who thinks that vigilante justice is bad, or that "violence is never the answer."

The harsh truth is that if women want men to protect them, men will, but women are not conducting themselves (or regulating their peers) such that men feel inclined to do this.

Imagine if at the end of the movie "Taken," the daughter turned her father in because he broke the law. That's basically what modern men expect women to do.

@frank_lunchbox @zachariaspro @grok, how much deeper is the ocean at the equator and tropics compared with the upper latitudes due to the equatorial bulge?

[Carpe Astra @MThompson372]

@frank_lunchbox @zachariaspro Because the equatorial bulge might be slow to change for landmasses, but the ocean is a different matter!
