This video is a great example of technology connecting musicians around the world so they can play one song together and raise money for a good cause. #PlayingForChange
Russian-Neutralization Strategy:
- Inform the Russian soldiers of the truth (not a drill, Putin's initiative alone) via pamphlets, media, etc.
- Offer unconditional surrender terms
- Send their names to Moscow as KIA to protect their families
- Deputize the willing into Ukrainian soldiers
- Quick transport for the Unwilling to western Ukraine so they can flee if Ukraine falls
Look at this man, President Vladimir Zelensky of Ukrain, staring death in the face as he declares he will not leave his country, he will remain in Kyiv, knowing if he does he'll be killed - This Comedian has more courage than the man who would see him dead.
As you westerners watch the huddled, terrified masses of people in Ukraine, think about your emotional reaction.
Then, think about your emotional reaction to hearing/seeing huddled masses of people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Congo, or Ethiopia.
Are they the same emotions?
If there is any difference, that is your primal tribe speaking to you.
Primal.
Humanity will not scale any further if we do not subjugate the tribal emotions. We must, first, be human.
I believe we should just expect our internet to be disrupted once Russia invades Ukraine.
Then gas prices will spike.
Then Biden will release the strategic oil reserves.
Then we will see all sorts of cyber attacks throughout NATO countries.
We will also probably get to DEFCON 4 at some point, but will not know it for 10 years.
The San Francisco school board recall was about GOVERNANCE.
Not POLICY.
If you want to be in government, you need to govern.
If you are only focused on policy, governing is compromised.
If you are only focused on equality issues at the expense of getting children back into the classroom, you are not governing.
That's why we threw them out 3-to-1.
Well, isn't this a messy one!
"...thousands of baptisms he had performed were invalid because he had changed a single word. He said, "We baptize you ... ," instead of "I baptize you ... ."
"Subsequent sacraments, including marriage, may need to be repeated by those who had invalid baptisms performed by Arango, according to the Diocese of Phoenix. "
How many galaxies are there out there?
So many that when you run a simulation of what happens when two galaxies run into one another, you can find actual examples of two galaxies that ran into each other and are now at the point depicted in the simulation, if you go and look for 'em.
"How many zeroes is that...?"
"Quite a few."

I just spent 3 months designing a mechanism with a huge torsion spring. Over-engineered, but it should have worked well for its purpose.
I just determined that I designed it backwards.
I made this realization after fabricating the parts, tuning it, installing it, and loading it up with 100 lbs of skull-splattering torque.
Sometimes you need to keep asking yourself the most simple questions before asking the harder ones.
