An Interesting Comparison


Ottoman Arrowheads

Bullet Points:
** Why is there a job description called “transgender influencer”?
** Even if every person in the US, not just the rich, gave 100% of their money to the government in taxes since we started going into debt, that would come nowhere near paying off 30 trillion dollars.

Shocking

Trade graphic: why They are so keen to destroy Germany.
Indeed. Who do they hate worse – the US or Germany?
At least my people are represented 😍.
No no, not the PRC, Suomi. Probably due to thirsty Finns taking the ferry to Estonia to buy cheap booze. Which they then bring home on little wheeled carts, seeing as there they buy too much to carry.
Also, the Scandinavian beer ecosystem:

Who they hate. Depends on the subject,day, and probably the weather report. I am sure it goes back and forth pretty often.
Identify the Aircraft:
Sopwith Baby
No, the Sopwith Type 860. The radiator threw me off.
Peter (BRM) got it: Short Type 184
Wow, the amount of effort spent on each individual arrowhead is pretty amazing. Even if that was done for just a few of the nobles we are talking thousands of arrowhead.
If a person is open minded that picture of Japan, Korea, and China tells quite a story. Too bad a lot of people just are not willing to be open minded.
Trans gender influencer. That position exists because there is money and power to be had for making “victims ” out of less than 1% of the population.
There is a muslim shirt of maille in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC (hwack, ptooie to the city) where each link has “Allah is the name of God” inscribed on each link.
This isn’t shocking when you look at royal and noble armors belonging to European royals and nobles.
That aircraft resembles the Short Type 184 seaplane of World War I:

I wrote about one amusing incident involving the type during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915. Scroll down in the article linked below until you find it.

The ailerons on that airplane are interesting. That could result in some interesting, in not a good way, flight attitudes.
More info on the arrowheads from the Met (part of their collection), with more pictures:

I have no desire to go back to Chicago or to visit NYC, but I do miss the Field Museum, especially the hall of arms and armor… and I’d love to lose a day or three in the Met.
Adam Savage does a multi-part visit to the Met’s armor display and workshop on his youtube channel. it’s well worth the watch if you want to see the behind-the-scenes work of the restoration crew. Their tool collection is to die for.
The arms and armor on display in the Alcazar fortress in Toledo are worth the trip to Spain all by itself, although the things the Spanish do with pigs and seafood certainly enhance the visit.
I will admit, I so not get the cartoon.
I will groan appropriately upon being informed.
I think it is the straw that broke the camel’s back.
AI
haha
Ed, you and me both…I was like, a camel and a hockey stick in opposite ring corners, what the hey is that all about? Subtle is good but sometimes too subtle whizzes right past the engineer brain, no matter how creative our minds, we still think linearly.
I thought hockey stick. Groannnn.
I was stuck on the Matthew 19:24 line about “easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle…” but somehow trying to remember it as a camel going through a soda straw.
As the commercials used to say, “A mind is a terrible thing…”
The Eye of the Needle was a gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. For all I know, it still exists. In order for a camel to enter, they had to take the goods from its back and the camel walked through on its knees. Thus it was that a rich man needed to do the same thing to get to heaven. It was understood that way at the time Jesus said it.
I still can’t unsee ‘the straw’ as a hockey stick…but h/t to Surly for the explanation, he is clearly a Sentient A.I. extraordinaire with self-cleaning floors.
And LL, honestly never thought of the juxtaposition of the ‘gate admonition’ from Jesus. Simple Biblical text when fully revealed is so much more in its offering of a larger understanding. Thank you for adding that clarity.
Me too Ed.
There is no such thing as a transgender influence, like a dozen or so new terms created by the Pre-Aggressives, they are meaningless words like someone grabbed a handful of Scrabble letters from the bag then rearranged them into a word. “Trans” is a euphemism for ‘mentally ill person who demands the normal productive citizens validate their sorry immoral existence.”
Nope.
100% of OUR money- 1) The Federal and State (and getting worse every year, Local) governments believe we work for them. We do not…they work for us. 2) When the largest employer in the United States is the Federal Government, something is seriously screwed up. Time for a reductive house cleaning…or a well placed meteor…with a heads up warning to be fair, but only a day or two.
How to starve that Borg-Like assimilator is the real question.
Yep.
How to starve that Borg-Like assimilator is the real question.
Convince millions to set their withholding to zero, and don’t send in a written confession on April 15th. But I believe you will find that 90% have a panic attack when they seriously contemplate not having a government which they can use to step on other people to demonstrate they aren’t at the bottom of the pecking order. I think this reason for government is sufficient even when people realize they aren’t going to receive what communism promised them.
Due to diminishing returns, technological innovation such as crypto advantages the little guy more than big organizations. There will come a time when the average Joe will be able to starve the beast, and at that time his neighbors will freak out.
