This is what it looks like when you start a small fire with a magnifying glass. Of course this is scaled to satellite view.

I had a physics teacher 40 years ago who said you could create a direct energy weapon from a large parabolic mirror in space. That was theory, easily replicated 40 years ago.

Met an engineer with clearance 35 years ago, who worked on smart bomb tech in ww2. In 1990 they showed this tech being deployed in Iraq/Gulf War 1.

So tech that was used in the 1940's declassified and viewed in a war zone in 1990's, showed Americas great capabilities. So...what is today's classified war tech?

GM, I'm not advertising forn Yeti, but the cup holds its temp. It is a holiday gift.

Yes, while Ross Ulbricht rots with a life sentence. He created all that wealth to have it stolen by feds. The Obama injustice department threw the book at him for playing cat and mouse. His only crime, creating a marketplace. Moreover, many of the crimes are now legal in the states where he operated. What a bunch of sore losers.

In the west, family size is shrinking.

My wife and I have dozens of first cousins each. Our children have exactly 12 first cousins, but their first cousins have anywhere from 9 to 18 first cousins.

Our grandchildren currently have zero first cousins.

Can you guess how many children we have?

It's just a guess without another given. If you ask for another clue, we can make it an easy SAT question.

Looks like the lenticular predicted the snow.

The hourly looks OK, but big bear on the daily followed by a couple crows. Doesn't matter. HODL. Weekly DCA helps to shake the volatility. Never short.

Yeah, the 500 and 600 have the side doors. The front door on the 600 has a lot of gaskets for the doors and windows. That's kind of a pain to replace. Using the side helps to keep the integrity of the glass and door gaskets.

Firelight 600. They don't make them anymore, or at least they are no longer sold in the US. I've had it for 20 years. It's a work horse. I have a 400 in another part of house. The two keep the whole house toastey, even when it is below 0.

Was there an update to nostr? I'm getting duplicate photos when I post. I'll go ahead and reset amethyst.

I'm touched by this post. I don't know your grief. I do know mine. God's mercy is endless and his treasury of compassion is inexhaustible. Pray for me that I can forward in my loss too. Thanks brother.

Using the dad cup.

Love this document. It is fantastic to see it in one page. Is there copy/pdf with better resolution? It should be framed and hung in every house.

The hens haven't produced since about 2 weeks before the solstice.

I cleaned the coop last weekend. They eat more feed in the winter because they can't forage as much.

It has been below freezing for a while, so we need to rotate their outdoor water daily and plug in the the indoor tank.

Well three birds flew the pen this morning. That is odd because they are usually content inside their area, then I realized that I forgot to plug in the indoor tank and I hadn't yet replaced the outdoor tank. Their behavior speaks clearly.

I promised my girls the sun, the moon and stars. In a 15 minute city, management needs to be on its toes or the citizenry will revolt.

The girls will forgive this transgression and return to the coop before sunset. We need them to be happy so that they start producing again in February when the days get noticeably longer. Winter chores are a bit different.

For now they can scratch around the yard on the frozen ground. Until they produce again, we have enough waterglassed eggs to get us to mid February.

Both, depends on the recipe.

I've throttled my X addiction and made a resolution to spend more time on #nostr. I've noticed that large influencers on X are losing their blue mark of the beast. It's time to #grownostr.
