The trip hammer you opened with is one of the earliest tools that began the industrial revolution. The specific tool you posted is one of the most primitive I have seen, something you could make with a chipped rock and fallen logs. The basic design was fundamental to mechanizing forging in the early industrialization of the production of metal like iron and similar tooling materials.

The fall of the four horsemen is overdue IMHO. The acerbic wit of Richard Dawkins is belied by his incomprehension of how AI actually works, and he clearly projects his thought processes into the source of the text he interacts with. AI does not work like our consciousness does, but plagiarizes vast volumes of human thought to string together it's output by weighting text via complex algorithms. It does not understand what the text means at all. It finds that '2+2' is almost always followed by '=4', so it's algorithm supplies that statement in response to prompts. It does not know what it means. It does not understand the quantity of two, nor of addition - unless it has subroutines that enable it to do math. Peterson's bloodthirst is blatantly Zionist, mere pandering, as thoughtless of human rights as AI is. He just grovels to his paymasters. Altman is without substance similarly. IIRC the fourth is Molyneux, whom at least has a foundation of principles, but his inability to connect them coherently (perhaps because he strives to produce advice people will accept) leaves his foundation riddled with holes and instability.

I can understand the craving for snacks, but, frankly, am aghast at the pringles sammiches. I guess an occasional lapse in your nutritional quality can't be helped, as we have to enjoy our lives, after all. I was exposed to potato chips on tuna sandwiches in Texas, but generally resist such glop mostly through frugality. I almost exclusively eat boiled veg and hunks of meat (although I am prone to using prepared meats, like sausage, which isn't high quality food due to the crappy ingredients used). Generally my fare is buttered veg and meat, salt, turmeric, and black pepper, slathered in sour cream. This is pretty nutritious and lacks ultraprocessed additives like maltodextrin, sodium glutamate, and etc. that most prepared foods include. US Right To Know recently published a report showing that reducing store bought personal care products has an almost immediate beneficial impact on health, and I make my own toothpaste and deodorant from baking soda, coconut oil, and essential oils for flavor or scent (with a bit of corn starch to keep the coconut oil solid at room temperature), and this eliminates things like guar gum, aluminum, and etc from being absorbed by my tender tissues. Chicks say I 'smell like a man' and bury their noses in my pits, so that's good enough for the girls I go with, and better than being poisoned daily, anyway.

I reckon the avarice of Big Tech is behind the majority of demonetization. The money Goolag and Meta aren't paying to their creators is money they keep, and the specific censory is mostly an excuse to take their money, IMHO. These people aren't principled. They're greedy. You might be interested in the webinar that the makers of Graphene OS are holding in a couple days.

"Privacy Academy is hosting a FREE webinar on Thursday, May 7th at 7pm CT (8pm ET / 6pm MT / 5pm PT) where you can learn how to escape the cell phone surveillance state. You’ll discover:
• How brands like Apple use privacy as a selling point (even though it’s not true).
• Why phone surveillance is much more insidious then you’d imagine.
• How phone surveillance has gotten MUCH worse since Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA is spying on us.
• How you can easily create a “De-Googled” privacy phone yourself!
• A live Q/A.
And much more!

I'm over being tracked and surveilled by my phones, have just dropped one, don't use wifi, and want to know how to degoogle my everything because I think Goolag is an appropriate name for what that company intends for us. If biometric ID becomes unavoidable for using a phone, I'll quit using a phone altogether and buy meshtastic radios for local folks I need to stay in touch with. If the internet becomes KYC Imma ditch it too. The imposition of AI social media tyranny is not tolerable to me, and I'm just not going to do it.

I hope you're getting to enjoy Fall, opposite to the bursting of blossoms and babies out of the woodwork here Spring brings, but with it's own charm.

Thanks!
