That looks like a blast, but I’d make sure the weather reports were favorable first…

Maybe try using a file to make flat sides on the outside of the head so you can use a wrench on it? (Not sure if that would be better or worse than the Dremel/slot idea… you would risk scratching the surface of the object it’s on.)

He a dude that likes to play with reflective spheres on checkered planes. Cool guy :)

Hmm, it could be good. Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻

This post is a good place to remind everyone who likes zombie flicks to watch Fido (2006).

Similarly to what the other guy said, I believe it’s because the ruling class wants to keep their power no matter what. Any burgeoning movement that threatens their hegemony can be nipped in the bud before it blossoms, because ‘the eye sees all’, or at least it wishes to.

Most people don’t realize (or don’t care) just how one-sided our relationship with the government and corporations has gotten. The elites have a monopoly on violence, psychology, surveillance and means. If you were to start a movement that promises real change, you’d find it falling apart before it ever truly got started because you don’t have all the things I mentioned.

I don’t have a favorite ‘actual’ war, but my answer is the the internal war. Some of us fight harder and take more damage than others, and some don’t have much conflict at all… or at least that’s how it seems. I wonder how much better the world would be if more people paid attention to the inner war and learned from it? Sometimes it’s only as serious as two worldviews that don’t mesh properly.

Wtf, something like that really happened: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tamir-rice-shooting-family-sued-over-unpaid-ambulance-bill-of-son-shot-dead-by-cleveland-police-a6866896.html

I think I made an unclear comment, lol. I actually meant it in a good way. It looks like a strong knot that holds up until it’s time to take it apart, in which case it would be somewhar easier than a bowline.

The right one looks easier to undo than a bowline.

Here’s a story for you: Poisoned trees gave a wealthy couple in Maine a killer ocean view. Residents wonder, at what cost?

TL;DR: it’s not worth it.

Ah, I need to get ahold of The Expanse.The TV shows were good, but they seemed to end right when something interesting was going to happen…

Hard science fiction: Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. What would terraforming Mars be like?

Video games: the three Castlevania games for Gameboy Advance, and the three for Nindendo DS. Not trilogies per se, but they came in threes :)

One could do some photogrammetry and then analyze the 3d mesh. It only requires taking multiple photos from different angles. Might even be able to get something going from online photos, provided you match the time of day for the entire set…

Lol, I wish they’d stop interfering. We desperately need more types of housing and infrastructure. Even tiny homes are better than what a lot of people have to deal with.

Not sure, but it might be military housing or small homes for the previously unhoused. I’ve never seen suburbs look quite this scant and homogenous.

Nice shot! These were great if you were a kid without candy money… sometimes you’d hit the jackpot checking the coin return.

I’m sure there are plenty of people with the traits you listed out there for you. Unfortunately, they are probably shut-ins for the same reasons, so it would probably take some work to find them…
