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

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

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%.

Meh, my bet’s on people being the assholes, and other species getting shafted in every aspect by us, and some are annoyed by it.

Not fast enough. I agree they work, but often times it hurts all the people, and the ones that have “say” often are slow to help their fellow people.

I imagine being aggressive towards anyone would get you in trouble, maybe it’s just a U.S. thing, but getting in trouble on a plane is one of the last places Id want it. Even just the airport, it’s a confined area with minimal exits and lots of security/armed police/k9 units…

I can’t imagine if they land a plane somewhere because of you that you won’t hear the end of it. Maybe I’m just paranoid and it’s a lot more lax than I feel it is when I am there.

That’s their point, no drunk drivers in the issue, so why was he discussing them?

If he wants us to start arresting sober drivers for driving drunk people home, that’s another topic he should address separately.

Don’t think he’s going to get very far with that one, as if you made such a law, you would discourage people from driving intoxicated people home, thereby increasing drunk drivers on the road, and putting more people at risk.

Every bartender in the U.S. can be fined/punished for over serving. This goes for the airports as well, and the flight attendants. The airlines have the right to turn away passengers who are to drunk as well. Depending on location drunk/disorderly in public can be prosecuted by the police who are stationed in the airports/terminals.

If all of those things are failing, maybe they should be addressing the bartenders/flight attendants who are already legally responsible. Turn them away at gate if you must. Making stupid public statements will never look good for your image when your own company is part of the process that is failing won’t do you any good

Why do people try to say people aren’t animals. People are animals their entire lives. We aren’t plants, or lamps, or airplanes. I have chickens that behave better than many people. Never once has one gotten drunk and got in a fight, or had a yelling match with someone. They don’t get in car accidents and drive off, steal from stores, murder each other. Mine make so little noise I have to actively remember they are out back. I puppysat a dog for 12 days recently, not a single time did he try to overthrow the government or sue someone. Took 4 days to figure out he could bark. Humans are some of the worst animals around. We murder and rape and destroy ecosystems out of greed or boredom. I had a bacon cheeseburger recently. That means I enslaved a cow to steal it’s milk for cheese, slaughtered another for the beef and had a pig felled for the bacon. I don’t even think bacon on a burger makes it better, I just didn’t want to hurt the persons feelings who suggested/made it.

~end rant… strange thing to ramble about at 2am

Last 400 years what has changed? A lot. I’m not saying the police are going to change anytime soon, but women have only had the ability to vote for 25% of that. That was a big change. The end of legalized slavery outside of incarceration hasn’t been around that long either… Kinda big one might say. Before I die I hope to see large improvements in rehabilitation during incarceration as efforts are growing world wide.

We can live with hope and keep pushing towards a better life for people, or we can cower in fear and think nothing will ever change. Hell, 20 years ago a universal healthcare system in the U.S. would have been thought impossible to ever occur, now I think that it could happen in the next 20 years if people get out and vote for it.

For every inch we take there is always backlash and sometimes we lose ground. We just need to hope we don’t lose decades, if not a 250 years come this election.
