Just to clarify: I post books and observations that I think might help some people understand more about what they are interested in. I am not on a mission to convince anyone of my personal views. 📚 📖 📜 🕯 💡

Michigan's Upper Peninsula has 15 miles of colorful sandstone cliffs rising above Lake Superior, and Pictured Rocks deserves a spot on more American travel bucket lists.

Around 2016, Jim Belosic bought a $750,000 laser cutter on a whim.

This month, his company SendCutSend raised $140 million and hit a valuation of $2.1 billion. It's on track to make 50 million metal parts this year for more than 300,000 customers.

This is the story of how SendCutSend arrived and ended up reviving US industry. https://t.co/YUsJpJywkV

Schwarz doesn’t seem talked about enough in the UFO world. This is an extremely dense and well researched book. Anyone read him? I know he worked for Mankind Research Unlimited in the 1970s/80s (look them up…)

When people think of incredible American landscapes, Ohio probably isn't the first state that comes to mind.

Hocking Hills might change that. The region is filled with sandstone cliffs, waterfalls, deep gorges and enormous recess caves.

President Trump SHREDS DISGRACEFUL former President Barack Obama, after he MOCKED the White House renovations, saying: “[POTUS has] got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”

“I’ve taken care of the White House. I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world. We re-skinned it. It was in horrible shape. A lot of the ornaments and the things that were originally built on the White House were missing or damaged or gone for a long time. They were laying on the ground in some cases. And it was in terrible shape. The exterior plaster was broken, cracked. The painting was terrible. And I've re-skinned the building beautifully with the highest, most talented people. Anywhere in the world, you're not going to find more talent. And the White House looks beautiful. And guys like Obama, they would pass the front door. They'd see the broken masonry.”

“They'd see the broken, the beautiful pilasters that were all broken. For years they were broken. And he wouldn't notice because he doesn't notice that. He doesn't notice dirt and filth that hadn't been cleaned, where the walls hadn't been cleaned for years. He doesn't notice areas that haven't been painted. So it's very easy for me to do. I do it very, very simply because it's my nature. I'm a very clean person. And the White House was in terrible shape. The White House is now in the best shape it's been since 1792 when it was built. It's in beautiful shape. You take a look at it. It looks beautiful. And I'm proud to do it.”

Select Inner Canyon Trails Reopen in Grand Canyon National Park

GRAND CANYON, Ariz. – Hikers can once again explore several inner-canyon trails. These trails have reopened following repairs after trail damage caused by recent flooding.

The South Kaibab Trail below The Tipoff and the entire River Trail, connecting the South Kaibab to the Bright Angel Trail, has reopened to hikers. The Bright Angel Trail between Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse and Havasupai Gardens has reopened to hikers only. This section will remain closed to stock use as crews continue to repair additional trail damage.

Trail crews will continue technical repairs along the Bright Angel Trail. Hikers should expect intermittent closures and delays and should follow crew instructions and posted signs. Be aware that closure times may change with little notice. Hikers should allow extra time and be prepared for slower travel.

Water will remain off at Mile-and-a-Half and Three-Mile Resthouses, as well as at Havasupai Gardens for the remainder of the winter season. Hikers must bring all their own water, along with appropriate filtration or water treatment equipment. Hikers are reminded to plan carefully for their trips, carry adequate supplies and be prepared for changes in conditions.

Emergency response times may be delayed in the inner canyon, and rescue is not guaranteed. Hikers should assess their abilities, prepare for changing conditions and understand the risks before beginning their trip.

The Black Bridge, Silver Bridge, Phantom Ranch and the entire North Kaibab Trail remain closed. These closures are in place to protect public safety while recovery and assessment efforts continue. Visitors who enter closed areas in violation of the park closure order may be cited.

Before visiting, hikers should check the park’s Key Hiking Messages webpage for current trail conditions, water availability, closures and other important safety information.

A car hauler attempted to get through a USBP checkpoint in Laredo, TX, with 23 illegal aliens, including 6 unaccompanied minors, concealed inside the vans he was transporting.
The vans’ windows were closed with no air flow in the brutal South Texas heat.

The driver is facing federal human smuggling charges, and all 23 illegal aliens will be processed for deportation.

Human smuggling is dangerous, reckless, and puts innocent lives at risk.

ALERT: Florida postal worker arrested after allegedly being caught on camera stealing iPhones and an expensive ring from packages.

A U.S. Postal Inspection Service special agent installed surveillance cameras inside a USPS company truck and caught Avery Terrill Yarber opening and stealing from 4 separate packages.

The cameras, one in the driver's area and one in the back of the truck, caught Yarber stealing 3 iPhones and a valuable ring from both areas.

Investigators estimate the 3 phones and the ring are valued at $6,597.

Yarber faces charges of third-degree grand theft and a count of mail theft.

W 2016 roku Land Rover zabił klasycznego Defendera. Brytyjski miliarder wkurzył się na to przy piwie, zaprojektował własną terenówkę od zera, a dziś jego autami jeździ polska Straż Graniczna.

Kiedy z taśmy w Solihull zjeżdżał ostatni prawilny Defender, Jim Ratcliffe – szef giganta chemicznego Ineos i fanatyk off-roadu – siedział ze znajomymi w londyńskim pubie The Grenadier. Chciał odkupić od Brytyjczyków linię produkcyjną i budować auto dalej. Land Rover odmówił.

Ratcliffe stwierdził więc, że zbuduje własny samochód. Taki, jakiego na rynku już nikt nie chciał produkować, bo przestało się to spinać w tabelkach z normami i modą na miejskie SUV-y.

Branża traktowała to jak zwykły kaprys bogacza.

Tyle że Ratcliffe nie próbował wymyślać koła na nowo. Zamiast tworzyć wszystko samemu, poszedł na zakupy do najlepszych w branży:– pancerne, trzylitrowe silniki (R6) wziął prosto z półki BMW,– automatyczne skrzynie biegów dostarczył ZF,– – całość posadzono na klasycznej ramie, a produkcję zlecono inżynierom z Magna Steyr.

Grenadier jest kanciasty, toporny i ma w nosie współczesne trendy. W środku zamiast gigantycznych tabletów ma wielkie, fizyczne przyciski rozmieszczone na suficie – zaprojektowane tak, żeby dało się w nie trafić w grubych rękawicach roboczych.

Polska Straż Graniczna odebrała właśnie 20 takich maszyn

Widzieliście już Grenadiera na żywo na naszych drogach?

I’m very excited to announce I am donating $10,000 to the National Storm Chaser Summit to help bring life-saving storm shelters to communities that need them most!

One thing that has always stuck with me is knowing that some families simply don’t have a safe place to go when a tornado strikes.

I want to do my part to help change that.

We can’t stop tornadoes, but if we can help give more families a safe place to go, that’s what matters most.

I’m thankful to be able to give back and hopefully make a difference when it matters most!

“Explosives” by Rudolf Meyer, Josef Köhler and Axel Homburg

This is actually a really good reference book if you’re wanting to learn more about different energetic materials, their properties and uses. For instance, this book taught me what the word “brisance” means which just refers to an explosive’s ability to shatter materials rather than just push them apart. So yeah, anyways I also don’t really like Googling this shit all the time ngl…so books are best, especially FREE books!!!

Posting this for anyone interested in chemistry, engineering or pyrotechnics.

(This is NOT a tutorial book, this is a science book, btw.)

[Outer Space Today @outerspacetoday]

BREAKING: SpaceX $SPCX has secured access to some of the Pentagon’s most precise satellite-tracking data, giving its Starlink network new capabilities for monitoring spacecraft and collision risks in orbit.

First reported by Breaking Defense and examined in new reporting by The Guardian, the agreement allows SpaceX to access portions of the U.S. military’s High Accuracy Catalog.

In exchange, SpaceX provides tracking observations from Stargaze, a network of sensors aboard its approximately 11,000 Starlink satellites.

The military data includes detailed estimates of orbital trajectories and potential collision risks, improving the ability to monitor objects that could threaten spacecraft.

The arrangement has raised concerns among competing space-surveillance companies about SpaceX gaining a privileged position in the market for orbital tracking services.

The Space Force says the data is controlled but unclassified, that access is restricted, and that it is pursuing similar exchanges with other commercial providers.

The agreement underscores how SpaceX’s rapidly expanding satellite infrastructure is becoming increasingly integrated with U.S. military space operations.

A new physics journal has been formed to encourage alternative physics - which imo is the kind of physics that should be published, i.e. let's have new progress instead of an endless closed geometric loop. Please give it a cheer and some support: https://t.co/enftZSaDHw
