Look at them going about their lives, unaware of what's to come.

I once did that on St. Patrick's Day but with $20 worth of Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies. Except for I hit every bar in town.

Get there, get a pitcher of beer with green food coloring, order up $20 worth of Drunken Lullabies, then go on to the next bar once it starts playing. I think most of them were like 2-3 plays per dollar so 40-60 times...

By the time I had gotten to the last bar, there were a couple people crying. Like EVERY single bar in town was only playing Drunken Lullabies all day.

My God it was glorious.

The battle for love

Looks like dude in the orange saw dude proposing and often times proposals come with a fancy expensive ring. Clearly an easy mark. As the orange guy walks up, you can see him pull mace out of his pocket which he then sprays in dudes face at a close range. However, instead of being incapacitated, proposal dude clearly has a strong paradoxical reaction to the mace and becomes the pure embodiment of rage in physical form. This proves to be problematic to the man in orange.

Dude in the orange attempted to rob them with mace. As he walks up you can see him grab something out of his pocket then put it in dudes face. Later you can see him spraying it at dude but he's standing too far away.

Cheap/spent mace for sure.

What are some small, pocketable/keychainable items that are worth carrying everywhere you go?

A tiny keychain tape measure. It's one of those things you have no idea how much you'll use until you have one on you all the time.

Looking at something online? How big exactly is it? It says 16.5" but can you picture that in your head somewhat accurately? It's just easier to pull out your tape measure and see.

I've also started carrying around a small flashlight everywhere I go. I have an Imalent LD70 Mini. It's small enough to fit in my change pocket and it'll put out a blinding ~4000 lumens on turbo (for about a minute before it gets too hot). I do admit that it's not the best flashlight ever. It has a ridiculous magnetic proprietary charger that will short on whatever if you leave it plugged in but it does what I need it to do.

Archaeologists are too scared to open the tomb of China's first emperor because they fear booby traps

Alright so how about we build an air tight enclosure around a small part of the door, just big enough to get, say, a small drone through. A mechanical part of this enclosure would be saws or something to breech the door. Would probably want to draw a vacuum in the enclosure first just in case.. maybe the enclosure could act as an airlock so researchers could access the drone for charging, upgrading, repairs, and whatnot?

I heard of this tomb when I was really young and ever since I've kinda used it as an engineering exercise in my head. Sometimes I draw things out for myself but this is the first time I've ever told anyone about it lol

Specialized tools

Isn't this called a deck gun volley gun? They're for dealing with mutinees, the concept was that four people could die at random and nobody wanted to be that guy so they should stand down.

WEAKNESS OF THE FLESH

Does... Did... I think she thinks transhumanism is the same thing as trans? Either that or she might have tried searching up "trans humans" but boomered the keyboard up and missed the spacebar?

I know transhumanism is definitely a part of the puzzle here.

What are you Reading (September 2023)

Right now I'm reading Leviathan Wakes and I cannot put it down. It's such a good book!

At work I'm listening to The Digital Plague and it's pretty darn good. Book 2 of the Avery Cates series which is in the dark, gritty cyberpunk genre with a good amount of dark humor.

Both are really good books!

Theres a chain of all you can eat kinda fusion sushi bars around where I live. Trapper's Sushi. Actually ate there today. I swear their best rolls are flash fried and smothered in various sauces or scallops with spicy mayo.

If you're a sushi purist you'll consider it a complete abomination but oh my sweet lord it's sooo good.

What are these things? I always see them in the sky

My brother has this completely redpilled friend. He's taken college level classes on aerodynamics and aerospace manufacturing (so have I). He's always pointing out the contrails and saying something about mind control or Bill Gates...

I always sarcastically ask him about what other medium would he expect them to be projecting the sky on. Gets him to shut up real quick. For an hour or so.... They really aren't that bright.
