  2. A quotation from Robert Bolt

       CORPORAL: [trying to copy Lawrence’s snuffing a match with his fingers] Ow! It damn well ‘urts!
       LAWRENCE: Certainly it hurts.
       CORPORAL: Well what’s the trick then?
       LAWRENCE: The trick, William Potter, is not minding if it hurts.

    ...Besides, power supplies and/or transmissions for he new pumps might also be inadequate.

    #Regarding #Fukushima, (I need to watch this new #Netflix series), my understanding is that the reactor overheated. This would, in my limited understanding about #NPP's, be what the continuous cooling-water supply would be needed for to prevent.

  4. @podfeet the ethics of being in the student organization, is it OK to steal the text file from bill that's called breakfast menu items that text? I know you said don't step on anybody else's toes, but I just want to steal it so that I don't have to retype it. Is that OK as long as I do it in my own folder?

  5. I'm #curious about something...
    I've been getting a fair amount of #connection #requests here on #Mastodon from people on the far far far left, and almost none from the right, or the far right, or even the far far right.
    Now, I'm pretty clear (or so I think, anyway) that I do not care to associate with extremists from either side.
    #Fiscally, I'm #conservative - in the sense that I don't believe we should spend money we don't have.
    #Regarding #people, I'm pretty #center-of-the-road, maybe #leaning a bit #left. I believe that everyone, regardless of their choices (or not-choices), should have the same rights as everyone else, and be able to live in peace, as long as they're not causing direct harm to anyone else.
    I am, therefore, confused as to why people whose default mode of #communication involves #NameCalling, #VirtueSignaling, #condmenation of #otherism, and #looking for #fights would want to connect with me. I do not wish to associate with people who only wish to further divide this country with their #shortsighted #selfimportant #diatribe and #hatemongering .
    If I have ideas that are different from theirs, or try to ask questions about their stance and point of view, all that will happen is they will turn around and block me, then report me for doing <InsertEvilThingHere> when all I was doing was clarifying their position so I know how to continue consideration of their position.
    It's happened far too many times in the past.
    Fist off, #Folks, #Mastodon isn't #Birdsite or #Twitter. Your hate-filled rants really don't belong here, in my opinion. That's what #Twitter and #FaceBook and #Instagram are for.
    This is supposed to be a place where ideas can be exchanged, discussed, and mulled without fear of condemnation - where someone isn't attacked for their thoughts, or for asking questions.
    There's a Mister Badger (with a number after it) who is an example of this. This person's obvious hatred of anyone who isn't as far Left (I believe they call it "progressive", but that's for another post and another time) as they are is palpably obvious based on their posts. I'm NOT that far left, (not even close) and would almost certainly be grouped in with Nazis and Klansjerks by this person.
    So why did they reach out with a connection request? I don't know. Maybe they're looking for a new victim to browbeat so they can feel morally superior? Maybe they think that if I see enough hatred of <insert any group here> I'll start to feel the same? (That's the same tactic used by WS groups, Nazis, and the Klan, by the way...)
    I'm just unsure of the motives, there, and that's why I rejected that connection. I've rejected others for similar reasons.
    Perhaps I need to re-visit my profile and make it clear that I don't support hate, no matter which side of which aisle it comes from.

  6. “What I have just said regarding the nature of the astral scenery must not be taken as indicating that the Astral, itself, is merely imaginary or unreal in any sense. Nor is the substance of which the scenery is composed any less real than the substance of which the material world is composed. On the material plane, substance manifests as matter; while on the astral plane it manifests in a finer form of ‘stuff’ or material.”
