    Invasions

    there are (virtually) no civilians in Gaza. if you can find it, go look at the voting data for their last several elections. Hamas may only have won by just over 50% of the vote, but over 40% of the remainder was for parties that want the same essential destruction of Israel.

    Why Aren't We Having Kids?

    the only way out of this mess is to fight, and breed children who will fight and drive society back to sanity. by not having children, she's indirectly condemning society in that regard. history is written by the victors, and change by those who show up.

    Why Aren't We Having Kids?

    our agreed upon plan was, make one adopt one. wife is adopted, i'm of no strong opinion of it, so fine by me. she baked me a boy, so the "family name" is secure for at least one more generation. we started looking into adopting and... holy fucking shit! want a german/irish/scottish mixed white...

    Living Too Close to SpaceX

    look at Cleetus and The Freedom Factory, for another example. He just about single handedly revitalized the town with getting that track functioning and productive/profitable. So much so a developer wants to build housing... right next to the track! We know where that ends: dead track, dead...

    Living Too Close to SpaceX

    when NASCAR teams started moving en mass to bumfuck, NC, they too caused all kinds of improvements to the area like you described. funny part is, the locals didn't fight it as much. now, I can understand the dragging crashed shit through bird sanctuary area being a problem.

    Watching China Melt Down

    nah. spread that shit all over. make sure we keep loudly pointing the finger at them. I want WW3 already. Personally, I don't see a way out of our current world and local situations, not without some SERIOUS pain brought to the forefront. Hard Times make Hard Men. Hard Men make Good Times...

    Systems Break Down...

    not gonna lie, I had something similar happen to me with my AC condenser. did everything I could, and could google about, to figure out why it wouldn't start. finally called an HVAC company to come out. $175 later ($150 for the visit, $25 for the breaker) and we were back in business. Turned...

    They're Setting Us Up For Famine.

    that all sounds nice, but I'm just barely above setting fire to my cereal. lemme get a bigger/better greenhouse going, possibly one with an earth battery underneath it, along with my rain water capture.

    Watching China Melt Down

    listen, at this point we NEED to have a Great Reset, but on our (conservative) terms. That's going to require some hopefully only short term pain and suffering. The greater the pain and suffering, the shorter the term will be. The asshats in power have been slowly boiling the frog for too...

    Watching China Melt Down

    tesla has always been an oddball, in that IIRC Musk stated early on that he wasn't going to patent protect any of the tech they develop, as his supposed goal was to spread the EV wealth around to get the whole idea snowballing. https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you
