  • My first thought went to punji sticks. I heard about them when I read about the Vietnam war. Not surprisingly they are on the Geneva checklist.

    Too bad bamboo is so invasive that you shouldn’t have it growing anywhere in Canada other than a pot inside your house.

    Yes they can be made with other kinds of wood but the splintering of bamboo is particularly painful and hollow chambers hold feces and poisons like nothing else can.

    They may have also meant using the 25th amendment to remove the president like their legal system allows for if Congress and the Senate weren’t completely bought by the fascist billionaire class that owns the presidency as well.








  • I got diagnosed with severe complex sleep apnea (central and obstructive). I spent a few weeks with a CPAP but not dialed into the correct pressure but after my first night of sleeping with a CPAP in the lab to get the pressure correct I woke up and went to work.

    I was confused because I felt odd, it took me 10-15 minutes standing on a forklift trying to figure out what the fuck was happening. I finally realized that I was experiencing what being awake was for the first time in my life at 32. I reintroduced myself to coworkers I had worked with for a few years because I had been in a haze for most of my life.

    Hoping a cascade failure won’t happen is probably the only thing to work towards.

    It isn’t that the world will not be habitable, it will just be inhospitable to humans in large groups. Humans are probably well past stopping temperature gains that will collapse marine ecosystems. Once those collapse what is going to collapse next? Bears rely on salmon coming back, forests rely on the minerals from the bears feeding and smaller scavenger mammals rely on the the fish too.


  • If a game is more innovative but people don’t want to play it more than another game that is considered by few to be less innovative but more playable then the one to win the award is going to be the less innovative, but more played game.

    Two cars with automatic transmission one with a manual choke vs a car with an automatic choke are both an innovation but the automatic one is going to win an award because more people are going to buy it.
