MOFs (Metal-Oxide-Frameworks) have been around since early 1990s, supposedly promise radical improvements (e.g., literally water in the desert) yet we see little implementation. Why?

a "hole pile" of ...?!

I'm surprised that someone who uses such a phrase was working on classified hardware in the "mid and late 00s".

Germany is literally disappearing as a nation (too low a replacement rate and other problems). Pretty awful situation. Here's Peter Zeihan's assessment of Germany's future (or lack thereof):

altairprime says ". But I also only tie my shoes once and never again, courtesy of elastic laces,..."

Hell, I only tie my shoes once a week if that! I must be a effing kung fu fool! Still, watching the video and especially reading the comments really made me laugh!

Honestly, such endeavors are likely excessive. Time spent optimizing your body's movement is probably time better used elsewhere. Nonetheless it is your time! And there's always dance, mime, drama, yoga, etc. And there are exceptions, e.g., in the military there's often a need to do something like "move 20 fully-armed men inside a door in 10 seconds" or "get 15 men to awaken, take their morning constitution and dress in 16 minutes."

My father told me the Marines taught them how to do everything, even wipe their ass. I don't know if that was part of inspection.

My estate lawyer told me that, to prevent challenges, he advised clients to add a clause directing that anyone contesting the will would be excluded completely from the estate.

Pshaw! There are plenty of non-heterosexual people who end up with children! A (drunken) poke here, a (drugged) poke, a wild moment, etc there really adds up.

Many gay people I know have children.

Abstract and link to the dissertation at Harvard:

Thus verifying a theme in Woody Allen's futuristic movie "Sleeper" (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=8997844... )

Until more science is uncovered I'll return to eating either an ice-cream sandwich or a chocolate drumstick after every vigorous workout!8-))

Addendum: the study also says an even healthier serving is one of nuts, FWIW.

The USA has never been an empire.

And should any "new world order" have the US in its center now?

We've paid for the entire world order outside the Soviet Union/Russia and China for decades. Time to present a bill, close the relationships (e.g., NATO, UN) and put our money and resources to better use for us in the USA.

This isn't a failure by the US Navy. It was a political decision to stop short.

The US could open the strait and eliminate all opponents but we don't have the political stomach for it. It would be a longer and more destructive process than people are prepared for right now. Nonetheless, what occurs next will enlighten us as to how to proceed.

Time will tell.
