 Dear socialists on #Nostr,

Libertarians and socialists could actually live together without any ... 
 That's why they're such fans of democracy. 
 Sometimes i still get a whiff of collectivist, white-collar, corporate culture from here.

 Technology is not an unbroken, linear advancement. 

We have lost techniques and technologies many times. 
 i’m old enough to remember when people would shut up about shit they didn’t know. 
 There have always been people talking about shit they don't know.

Each of us has been that person at one point. 
 In many cases, man has surrounded himself by his creations to avoid owning himself. 
 Doable in Flag or PineTop, maybe.

Anywhere off the rim would be in for some weight loss. 
 Pretty much. 
I've managed to get close with some updates to the house.

 It's half past midnight in central Arizona.

26 degrees and planting my fall gardens. (The moon is bright enough to make it easy)

 
 Technically, yes. 
But in the central Arizona desert, it's not that hard to do. 
 It doesn't matter how nice you are to people. 
Play doormat and you'll be trampled as others laugh...

Most of them will be your closest relations.

 
 "Can you fix X for me?"

 As far as most things go, I just don't care.

 
 Kristen Bell's body has been lying to you this whole time

 No. She still looks like a 14 year old. 
 Funny or die. 
This is pretty old.

 As Malice has put it, yes.

She's the final proof that regimes control the puppet and the western world is entering a new era. 

This is going to be an interesting ride further down the slide. 
 Absolutely! 
 So much for your gas centerfuges.

This, and the mere existence of beer, is proof that God loves us.

 Ok. 

You're not wrong.

The engineering is a disaster that is overtaxing LED's to run at high temperatures and high temperatures are poisonous to electronic devices.

(Also there a lot of FUD)

That said, if you live in Dubai, you can purchase Phillips bulbs that are engineered to run cooler and last as long as the original claims. 




 
 Very nice. I won't be planting garlic until the middle of December where i am. 
 OK. 
This irritated me the first time i saw it. 

The Siberian Husky (along with other Arctic breeds including the Greenland Sled Dog, and Alaskan Malamute) is as closely related to their wolf ancestors as the Grey Wolf (pictured here) is.

That wolf is the extinct Taimyr Wolf. The divergence of the Huskey DNA predates the Gray Wolf all together.

For a dense, but technical, explanation of how this has been determined see here:https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ancient-dna-pushes-back-timing-origin-dogs

The TLDR is that this discovery pushes back the divergence of some dog breeds from 9500 years to 27,000-40,000 years. 
It also explains the phenotypic similarities via DNA mutation rate difference that is much slower than previously thought.

 Incorrect, actually. 
 Downside to working on desert traversing vehicles is being under them and dislodging the desert into one's face. 

This one had the added benefit of recent rodent habitation.

Good party member. 
 Or just trust things to Google drive. I'm sure that'll be fine.

 As soon as these are available to buy I’m gonna get one and absolutely beat the fuck out of it ...

 To believe an aspiration must have justification based on collectivist ideals is pathetic. 
 "I wish i were rich"
Has nothing to do with receiving anything. 
People wish all the time for both attainable and unattainable things or states of being. 

The statement has no more value than a simple daydream.

 Tsuchinshan.
It's orbital period is 80,000 years. 
Kinda neat to be able to see. 
 Absolutely. I was hoping to be able to feet a glimpse of it but didn't manage it. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place and time. 
 It's passed it's closest point to the sun September 19th. That's why it has that 18 million mile long tail.

It was visible to the southern hemisphere before dawn until about the 8th of this month. 

Best viewing in the northern hemisphere was supposed to around it's nearest point to earth in the 12th. 

May be able to see it a couple more days, but i also live in an extremely light polluted area that has had strong desert breezes that have kicked up a ton of dust.
