Adding your thought on States allying, it may be that following the gold and silver trail will paint a picture of where the Union breaks will occur. So far I’m aware of Wyoming, Utah, South Carolina, Idaho, and the 4 you listed. Interestingly, an enterprise located in Utah by the name of GoldBack – https://goldback.com/ produces a low entry…[Read more]

A sad update…
I heard one of my neighbors lost quite a few animals to a pack of dogs a couple of days ago. I don’t know if it was the same pack (which so far has not returned here) but now that they’ve identified a food source, I have no doubt they will visit my neighbor again. Chances are this pack’s numbers will be reduced on that…[Read more]

I don’t have a 3D printer or I’d take the designs and futz with it myself. It would be nice to have unlimited energy for far less than a year’s on-the-grid bill.

Yes. I completely agree with the decentralization concept. Capitalism has its merits and it can be reworked to benefit the many vs. the few. We’ll get there, I believe, it will take time and much effort.

I agree Donkey that some of their views are less than reality based from my perspective; however, I do find sections that have validity. I tend to have that perception with virtually all information sources – filter, filter, filter.

Thanks for the clarification Blake. I posted that prior to hearing the whole video interview. My error.

Good suggestion. In past dealings with Animal Control (this is who the Sheriff refers you to) you either had to catch and confine the animals or know who they belonged to for them to do anything. I’m not willing to risk injury trying to capture them and I have no idea who, if anyone, they belong to. Thanks for the suggestion though; I…[Read more]

Yes it is happening a lot. I’ve had to resubscribe to several over the past few months.

Ken, I meant to thank you for sharing your experience with this type of situation. A spear eh?

I do not wish to harm them. The ‘deterrents’ I’ve staged have been chosen with that in mind as well as “putting the fear of God in them” as you’ve stated. And, if that doesn’t cause them to go away and stay away, then yes, I will do what is necessary. I believe in the inalienable right of self-defense (to the extreme when warranted).

Yes dogs do pick up (quite acutely) the mental state of their people as well as the overall home environment. It affects their well-being positively or negatively just like us.

I looked up the quote from Greer (which is said to be part of a conversation between Corso and an alien visitor). So, are you inferring that the contributors to this process are incentivized by their own desire to ‘make a better world’ and that yes, this is a global brainstorming process?

So if I’m understanding this correctly, what you are illustrating is a process whereby an institution (inclusive of governmental organizations) gathers new ideas related to their key projects from across the globe which they then grade and sort – rather like an ongoing global brainstorming event?
If so, what are the incentives for the…[Read more]

The video interviews with LaViolette were quite interesting. Thanks for posting Diogenes.

I’m not getting this GDP. Can you explain in more simplistic terms?

There have been quite a few articles from numerous publications concerning metamaterial development lately.
White Sands is a place where laser beams have been tested both from a ground system and mounted on a jet.
I find the sawtooth waves very jarring (less than a second of listening actually made my eyes hurt); you can sample them at this…[Read more]
