Let's Make America Great Again

First order of business, take care of your own damn parks. Don't complain to the govt, just fix it yourself.

I'll be coming back with tools in the coming days to fix this.

Stopping at the bluff by the river. Can't believe I stayed living in a city for so damn long.

One sure-fire practical way of insulating ourselves from this unrelenting onslaught is to form tight-knit small land-based active communities. #homesteading #permaculture

Unelected globalists want to rewrite the UN Charter so that it ‘could articulate the rules of a World Parliament‘ for ‘world citizens‘ with binding legislative & enforcement powers that eliminate State sovereignty. #Technocracy

Here we go again. The Fed has spent the last 16 years fueling the mother of all financial bubbles on Wall Street.

This is somewhat of a vindication of all those who argued in the past such resources should be as ideologically neutral as possible.
It splits the support for building common goods and instead pits people into tearing it down.
Live and learn.

I was looking for a hard drive to put in a trashpicked 2009 MacBook Pro, and I picked one I totally forgot I installed Haiku on. It boots right up and runs perfectly. haiku-os.org/

Attempt #2 at creating a restaurant quality pizza at home:

I made another New York style. This when turned moderately better then attempt one, but when transferring from the peel to the stone, it got stuck to the peel and I had to manually transfer it, which is why it resulted in this heart shape.

This time I used actual pizza flour, so it tasted a lot less soggy. But the dough still raised more than I expected. In fact it was rising BEFORE I stuck in it the oven because I was preheating the oven so high and for so long, the surrounding area was hot enough to cause the dough to rise. I also used a much better balance of mozzarella, parmesan, and romano, and it tasted much better than the previous attempt as a result.

It still wasn't exactly the way I wanted it. It seems like you really need that high-gluten bread flour which you need to order directly from a farm or ask a local pizza shop to sell a spear bag for you. I don't feel like doing either of those, but it seems like it's the only option. Maybe I can order a bag online somewhere.

Either way, it was a major improvement, but I plan to do better.

At a time when the power grid is being destroyed as unreliable alternative #energy replaces plentiful coal and natural gas, the massive power consumption by humongous #AI data centers is quickly becoming a Black Swan event for American consumers.

In its essential framework, a universal basic income sounds excellent. It would ensure that everyone has fundamental needs covered. However, there is a trap with all socialistic programs. #UBI

Geologist, Professor Ian Plimer: "We have been cooling down for the last 4000 years. It's all about when you start the measurements."

"If you take measurements from the Medieval Warming... we've cooled about five degrees since then. If you take measurements from the Roman Warming, we've cooled about five degrees."

"So as soon as someone tells you it's warming, the reply you give is: Since when?"
