Tamsyn Muir comes to mind for her excellent locked tomb series

And we aren’t even talking about gnosticism yet! What if God was straight up evil and trapped us in the material world. All this stuff about what you can eat or wear or how to worship is just a distraction, luring us with the promise of a false heaven to keep us from realizing enough about how the world really works to escape the material world and escape suffering

Ya that makes sense but looking it up that doesn’t seem to be a major source of wind and I don’t know why not. Probably has an effect but is order of magnitudes weaker than solar heating and Coriolis effect (which having looked it up seems to be the #2 cause of wind).

Typically wind is dissipated by friction losses with the surface I think (bleeding off speed and energy by making waves, waving trees, and just rubbing against the ground) and wind is generated by heat from the sun (warm air expanding pushing against cold air, creating pressure differentials across thousands of miles).

Because wind is quick to regenerate and this does nothing to stop that the result is probably a pretty small drop in average wind speeds around the new mill and no greater ramifications than slightly less pollen travel in the spring.

Huh, I guess he probably did kill a minion in that fiction then. I’ll be.

Why?

The Haitian revolutionary leader killed a little yellow guy wearing overalls?

Funions or other fake onion ring things! Adds an extra flavor to the mix. Maybe shrimp crackers too if you have an Asian grocery nearby to get them from and don’t have to worry about allergies or anything.

Probably less bad but I might still be a little squicked out by it. You need to talk to someone smarter than me for a clearer and more insightful answer.

Investing in real estate like that is just making it fractional harder for you to ever buy a house too. You can have investment diversity without a reit in the same way you can have a full meal without french fries.

AI generated image in the article preview so I’m not reading. Look at the keyboard, no arrow keys lmao.

Amazing how the NSA finds every excise to suck possible.

The USPTO already has lower fees for “micro entities” as it calls regular people and small businesses. Still too expensive for regular people and too cheap for mega corps but they do have different fee tiers.

I mean, air bag inflator are pretty much just explosive devices to begin with, just ones that are calibrated to only make enough of an explosion to fill up an air bag and no more. I can’t think of a more obvious failure mode than exploding too much except for not exploding enough.

Why would I fuck your mom without a profit incentive?
