every time i see cuneiform i think of machine readable script.
Cuneiform was used by multiple cultures. All of it seems to be a human replicated variant of a common script form.
Cuneiform was very readily made digital. It's very easily machine translatable.
At this point i am suspecting that ancient humans across a bunch of cultures had contact with a group that used machine printed material with a machine readable script.
We copied it b/c it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Humans are like that still.
You may have flunked out of high school, or even graduated today's clown schooling with a degree in advanced whining, but even so, if you put energy into reading and understanding the Kybalion you will be more effectively educated about our reality than anyone with Doctorate degrees from academia.
Our science has the basic premise that consciousness exists within humanity, rather than the reverse. This is why they get so much shit so wrong so frequently and encounter the 'inexplicable'.

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.
The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.
Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.
The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.
After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.
Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.
potatoes are superfoods.
the most satiating carbohydrate by far and great for weight loss.
full of vitamin C and potassium, nutrients most people are deficient in.
when cooked and cooled they have resistant starch which helps the gut microbiome.
steak & potatoes is the ultimate diet.

This building was just one of thousands that Stalin destroyed in the 1930s to erase the history of Tartaria.

so my image of Tom Luongo is kind of like a political taoist master (yep, wearing long robes and long long beard....Kill Bill fashion). He cuts right through the political clutter to the question you are really asking.

Chud the builder did accomplish something today, but many won’t realize it until he’s streaming from inside of a prison cell.
A lot of streamers will soon start thinking twice before acting like fucking retards on the internet for clicks.
How silly humans can prove to themselves that earth is not flat.

A simple experiment using a vertical pipe to demonstrate Earth's curvature (inspired by Eratosthenes' ancient well method).
Materials needed:
A straight piece of pipe or tube (e.g., PVC pipe, cardboard tube, or even a sturdy straw/tube ~1–2 meters long works for a basic version).
A sunny day around the summer solstice (near June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere) at local solar noon.
A level or plumb line to ensure the pipe is perfectly vertical.
Optional: A second location hundreds of km north or south (or collaborate with someone there), a stick/pole for shadow measurement, and a way to measure distance.
The setup and procedure:
Find or approximate a "well-like" condition: On the summer solstice at local noon (when the sun is highest), position your vertical pipe so it's perfectly straight up (use a level or plumb bob). Look down the pipe or observe if sunlight shines straight to the bottom without illuminating the inner walls much.
At a location near the Tropic of Cancer (roughly 23.5°N latitude), the sun will be nearly or directly overhead. Sunlight will go straight down the pipe and fully illuminate the bottom with minimal or no shadow on the sides — just like the famous well in ancient Syene (Aswan).
Compare at a different latitude: At your location farther north (e.g., most of Europe, northern US, etc.), do the same at the exact same time (solar noon on the solstice).
Insert a straight stick or rod vertically next to the pipe.
Measure the shadow angle or length cast by the stick (or observe inside the pipe: the sun's rays will hit at an angle, illuminating one side of the pipe more and casting a shadow on the opposite inner wall).
Observe the difference:
If Earth were flat, the sun would appear at the same angle everywhere at the same time — the pipe/"well" would behave identically at both spots.
On a round Earth with parallel sun rays (sun is very far away), the curvature means the sun is directly overhead at one latitude but angled at another. The angle difference equals the latitude difference.
Why this proves roundness:
The measured angle (e.g., ~7° in Eratosthenes' Alexandria vs. Syene case) corresponds to the arc of the curve between locations. Multiply by 360°/angle to estimate the full circumference. Eratosthenes got remarkably close (~15% accurate) with basic tools.
For a quick home version without travel: Compare your noon pipe observation on the solstice to known data from equatorial/tropical locations (or apps/photos). The consistent angle shift with distance north/south only makes sense on a curved surface.
This is low-tech, repeatable, and directly shows differing solar angles due to curvature — no advanced equipment required beyond a straight pipe acting as a sighting tube. Atmospheric refraction is minor for this demo.
Andes version of the Hantavirus is specific to this outbreak. It is NOT air transmissible. It requires moisture to exist and dies in open air and sunlight.
Yet another conspiracy by the globalists to try to stay in power.
Again please NOTE that ALL tests of Vitamin D against the Hantavirus have been SCRUBBED out of international data stores.
This hiding of Vitamin D effects is DELIBERATE.
If you are worried...Chaga UP! for long life and raspy attitude!
#NCSWIC.
At 73 years old, i consider myself to be 'middle aged' (maybe...if that old, another discussion for another day).
Thus my proposal to @1HeidVandenberg becomes a bit more understandable.
i do believe that i will live far longer than i had ever anticipated in a healthy, albeit heavily scarred and damaged body. The evidence i have in my recovery from deadly cancer is convincing on it's own. However i have connections into various levels of research that provide support to the idea of emerging biotechnology capable of altering your life space (healthy life span) in your existing body. These technologies will manifest in our lives over these next 20 years, with next year bringing some base levels out into public access.
Thus my concept of 'personal body time' has shifted. As has my thinking on how to employ these coming decades now added to this body's Life.
That has led to starting in on learning Sanskrit. Not that i am anticipating speaking derivations, but rather for two, mutually supportive, purposes: the first is to develop the ability to read the truly ancient writings with the nuance of a human mind, rather than relying on AI; my second purpose is to explore Sanskrit as a language more suitable to the manifestation of meta-cognition than any of the current, modern languages.
Each language has its specific niche in this reality. English, as an example, is a great technical language. No matter how that technical discussion is focused...programming or economics, or planning, or....
Sanskrit has many unique features inbuilt that set it apart from modern approaches to communicating or thinking including a base assumption of consciousness at the core of the language and a structure of complexity designed to support in real time meta-cognition.
Sanskrit is reputed to take 12+ years to achieve basic fluency. This suits my long term plans with @1HeidVandenberg. The book reading will make it a little less obvious that i am out there just to watch her tan.
Both of these albums are so cinematic
So many amazing moments throughout their tracklists, the insane features, the unique production, the cinematic atmosphere and much more
