So we built big tanks with a lever system like a piston on your car. Fill the left piston with water. With a small hole in the middle. For flow. If you do the math right you get the horse to walk up the stairs and stand on that piston(header really) the water drops slowly all day forced out of the hole spinning a turbine translating to electricity, preferably a battery. Horse never has to go down stairs thankfully, just back up the stairs to the other side. Moving from one side~ 3 meters every 12 hours should do it.

Basically, horse bed one side. Horse day lounge area other

He spent all 4 years totaling around 3 trillion in Afghanistan, to accomplish nothing.

This is one of those things that reminds me that someone out there is probably doing something cool with that tube shipping system they built in NY forever ago and was forgotten for the most part. (It was like the bank tubes if people aren’t familiar). But traversed miles and miles of tubes! The internet one might say haha

Wish it would be legal to attach a banana ball turret. Maybe facial recognition for locking on a target and keep launching little balls of banana at them. It would smoosh if it is the car side / windows, and it would decompose without issue. But it would be fun. If they are in a convertible, that shit would be bananas.

Why would someone dump them in rivers? To make sure the evidence was found?

That thought process would say patent law was incorrect though right? If you break something down to parts and say, well all those parts exist on their own, you just reordered them so you never created anything new. A fun case people refer to was against Ford I believe, when they tried to steal the intermittent windshield wiper idea from someone by claiming that resistors already existed, it was just placed elsewhere, so he couldn’t claim it as a new invention. Ford lost and had to pay to use the idea.

I see it as the same premise. All programming and language breaks down to words that already exist, so either rearranging them and using them in a new manner is a new work, or none of it is. Thereby saying all books, music, and code wouldn’t be able to have copyrights or patents. Which I believe that would cause a bit of chaos.

I wouldn’t say GenAI caused that problem, I’d say it was advertising practices and the structure of key words prioritizing responses in search engines.

You know Cuba trades with Canada… France… Italy… no issues.

Yeah, the Lutherans were the first split from Catholicism and sort of what I would say would be the start of protestantism. Not that Martin Luther initially wanted that, but he wanted a return to basics and a simpler less controlling version of what the church had slowly become. (95? Thesis and what not… maybe it was 99 can’t recall)

Now we have thousands of denominations of Christians, and they all do their own versions of how they believe things should be. Haven’t studied the historys of religion in a long time, it’s crazy to think about how much I’m sure things have changed and I’ve distorted in my brain throughout time when I reflect on the fact that it has been more than 15 years since the last real class I would have taken. Getting older is strange.

Some day it’d be nice to start studying history more again.

When protestants started the logical stance that the bread and wine is a metaphor being used in the Eucharist, Catholics stayed with saying it is a ritual that transformed the bread and wine to having christs blood and body imbued into them, like an act of magic performed with superhuman abilities, not people just worshipping him. If they would choose to say cannibalism is terrible, except when we do it, I cant see the stubbornness lapsing when it came to say women can suddenly perform magic after a certain date. But who knows, crazier things have happened in life.

Saw a comment yesterday where someone was saying Iran wouldn’t counter attack before the election because it would help Trump, I don’t understand how that thought process works. Iran sells drones and missiles to Russia, who would benefit greatly from Trump being president… And in turn help Iran more. It comes to a basic, who can line Trump’s pockets more, and my bet is Trump thinks Putin can more than N.

Fathers side is all from Sicily, never once did I hear any of them say a word about Columbus, probably couldn’t tell you what part of the year it was in.

Downvote the bot? They do in every thread, form of protest against it from what I’ve read. They don’t like 1 person with a bias generating a bases for everyone as to whether a source is legitimate, as it could skew unfamiliar people to believe what isn’t true. Also, it’s frame of left/right is bias towards a localized perception from their area, not a global perception.

Yeah, I was curious so I was looking the other day, median household income I believe came out to 14% of the median house cost in the U.S. (in 2022) in 1975 it was around 28%.

Note to self, if I ever need someone to rely on, or confide in during a time of hardship, don’t talk to Steve or anyone who may ever talk to Steve. Why should a hardship need to be private, unless you look down on them?

No one uses it as a contraceptive. Look up how the procedure takes place, the impacts on their lives and even just the cost. No one would put themselves through that by choice over actual alternatives. It’s just crazies spewing that filth tryjng to get people to look down on women and shame them when they are vulnerable.

Anyone who spews such nonsense is just vile. If someone chose to use it would mean there was a failure in parents, failure in educators, abusers in their life, and likely they need help. Not someone to put them down.

Windows E opens windows Explorer, I used that all the time for work, I use the keyboard more than the mouse.

Bank: 24 miles / 38.6km Grocery store: 4 miles / 6.4 km Work: 50 miles / 70km Parents house: 703 miles / 1131 km

I need to move closer for work, but couldn’t afford it do to dumb choices for a bit there.

It doesn’t bother me either but I’m a glutton, so I immediately pivoted to foods I enjoyed but the torture was just that I was able to hear/watch them enjoy something I really wanted to share.

Yeah, the location data wouldn’t function right as you said. They wouldn’t know you were at the store on 5th Street if the app is running on a machine at home I suppose. Could always manually search it.

Not your fault we are in that situation. Hope your life comes into many a cheap watermelon.
