Yeah Corsetti dude is kinda meh. I saw a podcast with him a while ago and hes like Yeah, im a miner, expert... Then few minutes later, yeah im also a farmer, expert in farming.... And on and on... Thats when my eyes rolled to the back of my head and he lost me.....

My kid just got one of these.... https://rog.asus.com/us/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-2023/ He got some special at Best Buy open box, Z1X for $400. 1080p 120hz screen 512 nvme storage. No oled but specs seem better on apu and gpu.

Weve got some cherry, oak and of course maple on our property in N Michigan. Not old growth but getting there, lol.

We started to wipe all of our forests back in the 1800s and even further back. There are still old growth forests around but they are protected. White pine in MIchigan...

We have a 2011 jeep wrangler sport 5 speed hardtop which was a hand me down from my wifes dad (RIP). He still had the sticker in the glove box which says it was like $21K back in 2011. It has a 3.9 or 4.0 L 6 banger. These things are weird, because they are like collectors things or something...

Yeah back when I played through the whole thing a few weeks after launch it was fine all the way through.

I played Vanilla Skyrim and it had character, it had a soul, it had good story surrounded by many other smaller tales. The world was huge but yet felt like it was handmade. Nothing like Starfield. Stanfield world to me seems sterile, has no soul, no humor.

Maybe this will finally put a nail in the coffin for the dumb female heroes bullshit that no one wants to watch. In fact its time to put a few nails for the coffins of all hero movies already. Its almost been 20 yrs of this shit and its getting old. Can we go back to zombies and aliens and shit...

I like anything "Roman" That era in history always fascinated me. I mean just imagine that era of history and it falling apart and then we had the dark ages after where civ took hundreds of years to get back to where the romans were. That being said this was no historical piece, but a dramatized...

Yeah laser printer is the way to go. We bought ours years ago and its still going. Sometimes like months between printing anything but you just turn it on and it just works. No ink refills, no dry ink, no cleaning of any ink tips or any of that garbage. You can go for like 1000 pages or more...

Let alone the 60 ton interior granite blocks they used for the interior of the pyramid, which is not even covered in that video. And they supposedly used animal skins to do this. Also in the video you see the kid holding a tiny ass block of limestone and the ballast to make it float is like...

So yeah, possible, but he does not explain how the fuck they pumped all that water hundreds of feet into the air to fill those shafts. I could see this being possible for the first course, but filling those shafts with water is not a trivial task. He just keeps saying they "pumped" the water in...

Coliseum was built using more "modern" style using concrete, bricks and tiles. Most of it was smaller blocks, lots of concrete and even iron to bind it all together. 300 tones of iron. Not to discount this as a marvel at the time, but the two are not comparable. Not to mention romans already had...

Like I said, all of hour knowledge is too compartmentalized these days. We have experts in very narrow windows of knowledge. Very few general experts. Too much relying on power tools and tech to solve propblems. And yeah, 80% of the plebs are just plain dumb.

And then imagine the pyramids themselves. Forget the cutting of the stones.... 3.2 MILLION stones, 2.5 tons average weight of one stone plus some 8000 tons of granite were imported from Aswan located at more than 800 km away. And they would have to be set perfectly because the errors only...

This was covered to some extent in a podcast I saw recently. The dude on the podcast basically knows the entire physics and math community (because its rather small) and he said that when the gov brain drains the community for some secret program, its pretty apparent by the lack of people in...

Yeah its a clip of a 3 hour podcast. And if its timestamped I apologize, I fixed it. it covers the point of this go to mars thing and elon. Like Ok so you get there and what? Its a fucking dead rock just like the moon is. So he explains pretty well how our physics have been co-opted by dumb shit...

I dont buy that providence and timing is beyond question. Since, again you cannot date rocks, its a guess at best, by association. There are even theories that say that the pyramids were not built by the 5000 yr old Egyptians, only moved into. And the further back in time you go the more sketch...

And thats the thing, they cant date stones, only organics. So by them being found with other Egyptian stuff in tombs and other places, archeologists just basically tagged them as being made by Egyptians. Which by all accounts makes sense until you study this more, like its being done now, and...

So whats your theory on this? Or how bout this question... What do you think would be left of our civilization in 10K years if some catastrophic event happened that destroyed our civ?

The thing you have to understand is that everything in our lives, tech and machine and knowlege wise is all compartmentalized. So lets say that tthere was a mass extinction event, say the Yellowstone volcano went off. OR asteroid hits us...etc...And 50%+ of he worlds people died off, which is...

So whats the BS meter then?

Late Development . Wheeled vehicles appear relatively late in Egypt—surprisingly enough, there is no evidence that any sort of wheeled transport was available to the builders of the great Dynasty 4 pyramids at Giza, for example. Instead, wheels are pictured for the first time in the late Old...

They did find the tools of the Egyptians. Bronze era tools like drills and saws, etc. Modern archeologists say that these statues, the obelisks weighing 100+ tons and the pyramids themselves with some of the stones that were mined 500miles away were all made with bronze tools and sand. :D...

Most of the shit all around us would be gone in a flash.Books? Would be all gone. Shit our society is pretty much all digital now stored on plastic and metal discs which would all rust away. Maybe some silicon chips would survive? We dont build any stone monuments anymore. Maybe some statues...

Fucking flat earthers. Hurrr

That was a hydrogen bomb, nukes are 100x more devastating. Also the camera thing is stupid for one it could be a camera mounted on a fucking telescope for all you know. You cannot tell where the fuck the camera is and its dumb to assume the thing is just there on a fucking tripod. Durr...

So I fucked up....Flat sanded the clear to 800 grit and unfortunately like 3 spots I sanded through to the primer. So I sprayed 2 more light coats of color in just those areas, let this cure for a few days then sprayed more clear on top. But the new paint over the clear just winked up like an...

Chuck its not 4 places its 3 to get to thousandth of inch. 4 places is referred to "tenth of a thousandth"

I agree, who the hell knows? But modern Archeology tells us that this is BS and these things were made by bronze age people less than 5K years ago. they are handwaving this shit away and still claiming no civ before this ever existed and all these things were made by bronze tools and sand...

And still 2000 yrs is nothing compared to how long we have been here. Look, whose to say that my theory is right? who the fuck knows? But I do know for a fact being an engineer that you can not make shit precise like that with sandpaper on a lathe, lol. 1/16th of an inch? 1/32nd if youre a...

LOl you guys still dont understand what .001" tolerance really means. Or .002" perfect thickness of a stone vase. Go try and spin a piece of granite on your lathe and get back to us when you can achieve those perfect tolerances. How hard is it to believe there was some advanced people before...

I have no fucking idea, but they got made somehow. Im betting on a lost ancient civilization that was prob as advanced as us but in a different way, erased from this earth by a cataclysmic event. Thats my bet. I mean how else do you explain that? Aliens? there is just no fucking way bronze age...

You dont get it, go watch the video. You can hone your craft for 3 lifetimes and you will not come up with a perfect vase with .001" run out and .001" perfect perpendicularity. Sorry not possible.

I honestly dont even know if they could do it these days at those tolerances, and if they could it would cost a fucking fortune to do so, even with computers and the finest lathes available. But even so you have to imagine that these things were supposedly made by bronze age civilization...

Like I mentioned in the general gaming thread my industry goes through this shit every 3-5 yrs. Last time was 5% because our office is small now, but the time before was like 10%, huge ass purge. People were being escorted to the door by security and HR and their shit mailed to them in a box...

Ill still play it, shit ive been playing this game for 2000 hours and that does not even include the hundreds of hours on PS4 when D2 came out and years of D1 so you bet your ass I will be seeing it through the end. I still cannot see WTF management was thinking in sinking this companys future...

Smaller work force but most of us work in offices and see wtf is going on, every place I worked is pretty much 80% of the work being done by 20% of the people. And the bigger the office is the more apparent this is, more places for the weak to hide. You would not believe what I have witnessed in...

Yeah I saw some dudes talk about this on some podcast. They did some fancy light or laser scan or whatever and it came out to be nearly perfect like down to the thousandth of an inch. And mind you these pots are not cast, or molded from clay, they are fucking carved out of hard ass granite. Not...
