Just a meathead trying to figure out this Freedom tech thing. I occasionally post whitewater kayaking footage from my archive.

I too have sinned. haha Haven't set up lighting yet. Hopefully I can collect zaps I missed once I do.

Stop it. Don't let the bots know we are here.

I think a little dash of stoicism is good for a marriage. Deal with your shit on your own or with a buddy. People need to jack more steel and do less therapy.

However the flip side is when I listened to Peter Attia's story on the Jocko Podcast. He had real trauma that he couldn't resolve and he kept having fits of rage in front of his family. That dude got help. Therapy saved his marriage.

The town square is for the Blue Checks only.

Oh nice! Yeah and the Texas steel racks with wooden benches, and the Rippetoe quotes on the walls.

I am skeptical that fancy quantum computers will be able to brute force attack sha 256 encryption. And if they could I bet we could adapt.

🚨 NOSTRFLASH 🚨

OK, there is a lot of news on various outlets about LK-99 and the ongoing race to validate/refute of 3 Koreans who claim to have created the world’s first room temperature superconductor.

I will give a quite info dump here.

1). WTF is this? Room temp superconductors (RTSC) are basically unobtainium. This is the stuff in the Avatar movie. It was calculated earlier this week that it would take an exascale machine (1x human is 20 petaflops) around 100 million years to brute force a 50:50 chance of discovering such a material. It’s a super hard problem.

2). Why do we care? Such a material can move electricity with zero resistance, this means no heat or waste from electronics. It means super dense chips, data centres without thermal limits, it means powerful enough magnets to hold proper fusion plasma, it means quantum computers with no thermal error, it means science instruments with no noise, zero loss transmission lines, vastly superior battery tech, proper ionic space engines.

That just some of the stuff we can predict today, there are no doubt many totally unforeseeable things too. It’s basically a completely new paradigm of human capabilities. It’s on par with humans discovering coal.

It means the 21st century will be unrecognisable compared to 20th century, as information and energy technologies are completely reset at a higher science foundation.

3). Is it real? Currently betting markets are 50:50 having been only 5-12% positive last week. The consensus is shifting towards “this is real” that’s not how these things usually go.

What do I know?

I have read the background and the science papers and spoken to a few people. I am the sort of person who reads patents as a hobby, have seen BS claims before. This looks real, has a new hypothesis that has been validated by world class simulation centre in Lawrence Bell Nation Labs, and various labs are now beginning to publish papers replicating physically what the Koreans claim.

My own theory is that the superconductor is a particular isotope of lead. Specifically Pb 207, only 22% of Lead is Pb-207 sI believe some enrichment may be required to achieve a pure RTSC. I expect various entities to race to construct such plants if this theory is confirmed. Why do I think this?

Because Lead-207 has unique nuclear spin properties among stable lead isotopes.

Isotopic properties.

Lead-204: Spin = 0

Lead-206: Spin = 0

Lead-207: Spin = 1/2

Lead-208: Spin = 0

Copper-63: Spin = 3/2

Copper-65: Spin = 3/2

Only 22.1% of Lead is 207.

My own theory is that RTSC is a macro phenomena of engineered quantum entanglement, where the spins of individual Pb-207 nuclei become entangled with each other. This could potentially influence the electron behavior on a macroscopic scale. This might aid in forming Cooper pairs, enabling superconductivity.

Any Questions?

Lossless transmission lines that can fit in a small cable. The environmental impact of giant transmission line right-of-ways is significant. Might not even need step up transformers anymore since high current won't have any thermal loss.

They do online coaching and programming. Not as good, but that is an option. They have been starting a lot of those gyms.

I agree that Jesus is the ultimate authority, but the Bible is how God reveals him will to us. The Gospel is the only way to discover who Jesus is and what he did. Are you worried that the Bible has been tampered with by humans to say something false? If so, there are intellectuals who study authenticity of the historical documents.

Yes our sins are forgiven by Jesus, but because Jesus died in our place and rose again.

Here is me squatting 405 pounds about 6 weeks ago. Been using the Starting Strength method. Very effective, they train old people too, which is strong signal, if it gets gains for grandmas it will work for anyone. There is a lot of noise out in the "fitness" world to cut through, but weight on the bar doesn't lie. Last year I thought 315 was a lofty goal. https://nostr.build/av/144c0a29b9a142272c629dce5bbfc7a714301490dbe344498a567b8757c1cd96.mov

I have never used airpods. Those don't fit my ears and I hate the idea of the left and right ear buds being separate...... just easier to lose one..... more to manage. I have Bluetooth earbuds that have a wired tether.....

Yup my goal is to build a giant suit of meat armor for myself before I get old. Want to get my squat past 500 pounds in the next couple years.

Oh I just listened to that dude interviewed on the Jocko Podcast!

Fuck yeah. However I argue that if someone gets jacked from lifting heavy weights they will also have good balance with strong joints and connective tissues, no specific training required.

I say that is a false dichotomy. Didn't say it was all a test, just saying the world is fallen, evil still lingers and it devours us. Good news is that Jesus defeated it, that all broken things will be made right in the end.

If God were sadistic he would endorse evil and conflate it with good as Satan does.
