What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Me: Physics

At the human scale, The Standard model of physics describes ALL physical phenomena. At this scale, physics is complete.

My youngest & a large team are on their way to Southeast Asia for a human trafficking awareness mission.

I can’t divulge details but upon their return they aim to inform the public about the signs of trafficking, promote prevention strategies, and support survivors.

By collaborating with other organizations the goal is to create a more informed society that actively works to combat trafficking in all its forms.

Thoughts for their care and safety on this important trip are appreciated. 💜

For @Minholkin because it's true. The world is a better place because you're in it. 💞

I heard this term the other day: Conflict Entrepreneur

Here's a legal definition:

Conflict entrepreneur refers to a group or individual who promote conflict for profit. They exist inside or outside government. Usually, a conflict entrepreneur engages in or directly benefit from illegal economic activity that promotes violence or undermines efforts for good governance and economic development.

Stop and consider before clicking or engaging. Who is profiting from my fear or anger?

You know what else is great about CoSo? Plenty of interesting topics! If you feel like being philosophical, or talking about pretty much any subject, you can! You can be creative, discuss current events, talk about cool tech or science and just be yourself

There's an elderly gentleman who came to the soup kitchen today, to get some food items from our pantry. During the storm, his mobile home was hit in the center by a falling tree, but he's been living in it. He got the food he needed and went back home. He came back about half an hour later, red-faced and crying. He showed hubs an envelope with a check from FEMA for $13,000.

On the edge again
The valley
Bathed in gold
The steepening hill hidden
By silver mist
The road littered
With the jetsam of the moor
And little torrents flow
The sky fell last night
And has left us bathed
in rainwashed rubble
Each shining pebble
It's own little beauty
Ah, the Raven knows about love
And the turning of the wheel
High above he whispers
On the misty edge
Then flies with me
Towards the golden morning
As I fly across the threshold
Into light.

BREAKING

Have you ever gotten the run-around when trying to cancel a subscription?
Websites that make it difficult or impossible -- or gyms that engage in straight-up
fraud?

Biden/Harris and the FTC just enacted a ONE-CLICK TO CANCEL rule that takes
effect in 6 months,

BOOM!

The leaves are late this year
The golden woods
Hold tight to their treasure
And on the misty hill
My moorland oak
Still beautiful
In dark brown softness
The wind is up from the east
My legs feel the chill
And my energy is low
But the Kestrel cuts through
Cold air with grace and ease
And leads me as she moves
From pole to pole
Like a gentle current
In a racing tide

How to cook the perfect amount of spaghetti:

Step 1. Remove from box how much you think you need.

Step 2. Eliminate half the amount you thought you needed.

Step 3. Invite a friend over for spaghetti if you want to skip step 2

Portraying this election as a dead heat promotes panic clicks. It sells more advertising space and brings in more revenue. It generates traffic for influencers, which in turn sells more advertising space and brings in more revenue. It sells more books, more revenue. Understanding that panic and rage sell helps a lot to deal with all of the misinformation thrown in your face every second of every day.

Always ask yourself who profits from this.

“Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.” ― Thomas Paine, The Crisis

Kamala Harris proposes to have Medicare cover in-home care for seniors and people with disabilities. Imagine how great this would be!
