@Ashmire So, the name #SwampCooler is from the algae/mold that can develop if it's not cleaned.

#Wikipedia: "An earlier form of #EvaporativeCooling, the windcatcher, was first used in ancient #Egypt and #Persia thousands of years ago in the form of wind shafts on the roof. They caught the wind, passed it over subterranean water in a qanat and discharged the cooled air into the building. Modern Iranians have widely adopted powered evaporative coolers (coolere âbi).

"The evaporative cooler was the subject of numerous US patents in the 20th century; many of these, starting in 1906, suggested or assumed the use of excelsior (wood wool) pads as the elements to bring a large volume of water in contact with moving air to allow evaporation to occur. A typical design, as shown in a 1945 patent, includes a water reservoir (usually with level controlled by a float valve), a pump to circulate water over the excelsior pads and a centrifugal fan to draw air through the pads and into the house. This design and this material remain dominant in evaporative coolers in the American Southwest, where they are also used to increase humidity. In the United States, the use of the term Swamp Cooler may be due to the odor of algae produced by early units."

Manichaeism was a major world religion founded by the prophet Mani (216–274) in the Sasanian Empire. It taught a dualistic cosmology about the struggle between a spiritual world of light, and a material world of darkness. Mani was viewed as the final prophet after Zoroaster, The Buddha, and Jesus.

Excerpt: "A Brief History of #UrbanAgriculture

Growing food in cities isn’t entirely new! History shows humans have long found ways to cultivate sustenance within urban boundaries:

- Circa 3500 BC, #Mesopotamia: Archaeological evidence suggests early forms of #gardening occurred within city walls for food and medicinal purposes.
- Circa 2000 BC, Ancient #Persia: Development of sophisticated #qanat systems (underground #aqueducts) supported #UrbanGardens even in arid climates.
- #AncientEgypt: Records depict fruit trees and vines grown within temple complexes and affluent homes in cities like Thebes.
- Circa 1100 AD, #Aztec Civilization: The ingenious ‘#chinampas’ – artificial islands built in shallow lake beds around #Tenochtitlan – were highly productive agricultural plots effectively integrated with the urban center.
- Circa 1400s AD, #MachuPicchu: This #Inca citadel showcases remarkable terraced agriculture, adapting steep slopes for crop production within a high-altitude urban environment.
- More Recently: #VictoryGardens during World Wars I and II were widespread examples of urban food production driven by necessity."

My two main contradictory views atm are

one:
#Iran may be losing...

because they are waiting and responding...when the zionists mean to destroy them. In order for it to stop, they must start with bigger steps to stop it.

This and the observation that Putin counselled them to get incremental*, attritional and they are fighting an enemy theft expert that has time and money and fanatical psychotics on their side that LITERALLY HAVE BREEDING PROGRAMS and skinbank of Palestinian skin,.the reason for all the live prisoners is organ availability....this is all easily findable on the interwebs**

The nuke concern is real as is the idea that it becomes increasingly difficult to exist there. And anywhere else too.

So caution is advisable and prudent

That's thoughts on the first issue

The second area I noodle over is the civilizational nature... and ancient one at that,..of all these groups zionists are fighting.***

All these places have SOME water.

#Lebanon and Iran being the two wettest, but there is enoughand consistent for a long-lived society in all of them

The usa and it's unavoidably genocidal 51st state are only existing in the region because of the resources and weapons shipped in and stolen from these old regions

The shipping capacity is diminishing, the patience of the region is only controlled by a vichy and balkanized system that grows weaker

The result could trigger many deaths and hardships around the world

*Both are p.c.roberts thoughts...I feel like he is doing reverse psychology

**https://www.reddit.com/r/lostgeneration/comments/185ccga/just_found_something_very_disturbing_about/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_transplantation_in_Israel (this wiki I didn't even look at cuz it disgusts me and I need no more of that horrorjunk in the attic)

***One of the zionist lies is always that these places were empty....Lebanon has been continuously inhabited since before the stone age, #persia is a civilization thousands of years old, #yemen, #oman..these are places that support populations that have grown strong through the eons of harsh natural selection and competition for scarce goods.

Does anyone know where to get an PDF or something of the Persian alphabet with an image next to each letter as an example how to pronounce it?

Like "A" for "Apple" with a picture of an apple, "B" for "Banana" etc...

Having a hard time to remember those..

Marjane Satrapi achieved worldwide fame with the comic book and then then wonderful film Persepolis.

Marjane Satrapi, reads a statement from her family sent to the Afp agency, has "died of sadness just over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life" 😞

RIP Marjane
