#Teacher Explains Why Inca #Human Sacrifice Was Okay
Walsh: Needless to say, the claim that 8 year old kids “volunteered” to die of starvation and hypothermia is insane. These are the kinds of moral monsters that teach your kids in public school.
Pre-Columbian societies like the Aztecs and Incas were terrifyingly evil, prominently featuring human sacrifice. In the Inca empire, the form of sacrifice called “capacocha” primarily involved children and young women selected for their physical perfection and purity. She is the sort that infests our schools has no problem with this:
https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1952738682470895669
To sum up, human sacrifice is fine because everybody does it. Inca human sacrifice upheld social justice because it killed members of the elite. It was kind, because the victims were left to freeze to death instead of having their beating hearts ripped out of their chests the way the Aztecs did it. If you disapprove of Inca human sacrifice, you have received a white education; i.e., you are a racist.

I wanted to check up on Battlefield 6, not out of interest but to see how EA dropped the ball.

Turns out, they dropped the whole damn anvil with it. The game will not boot without TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled on the machine. This is on top of Kernel level anti-cheat and requiring an EA account. :cirno_laugh:

@LeftCoast, only my grandchilds, but this is business of my childs. Anyway, Amazon isn't a reliable store to buy something, IMHO, in Amazon, apart to pay for the article, you pay also with your data, sold to third parties. Better, if exist the possibility (mostly), to buy the article direct from the manufacturer without a data hog in the middle. Almost all have a webpage and a catalogue with their products.

The power of saying no. I've always felt like the little white lie was great as a social lubricant - e.g., "Oh I'd love to come to your housewarming party but I've already got plans that day" when you know full well that you're available but you just don't wanna go.

But after a while, making excuses and remembering them later gets to be stressful. Especially for me because I'm horrible at lying lol. So I've learned to say things like "Thanks for inviting me, but I'm gonna sit this one out." It's a polite but clear 'no' and now I don't have to keep up a fib going forward.

To be fair, sometimes people don't like being told no, but I've been surprised to see that they'll usually accept it gracefully.

My family (just my dads side i guess?) is horrible at taking no for an answer. It took me most of my life to realise they needed to be firmly (and quite literally) told to fuck off in order for them to take a NO seriously. Learning that is probably the only reason i still have any kind of relationship with my dad, i don't care to interact with the rest of them.

"No" is a complete sentence.

The Guardian has identified the self-described “national socialist” behind an openly extremist YouTube channel that in just over two months has accumulated 50,000 subscribers, seen more than 2.3m views, and likely made thousands of dollars from YouTube’s revenue-sharing monetization program.

Johnathan Christopher “Chris” Booth, 37, lives in the unincorporated community of Coral, a part of Maple Valley Township in Michigan’s Montcalm county, and is married to a senior local Republican official.

Booth has published more than 70 YouTube videos since May on his Shameless Sperg account, whose graphic design elements feature stylized SS bolts. Titles of his videos – generally a recording of him delivering his views direct to camera – include: “Why I Dislike Jews. It’s not complicated”, “Black Crimes Matter: Never Relax” and “Jews and FBI hate you and your free speech”.

...

Booth is married to Meghyn “Meg” Booth, the Republican treasurer of Maple Valley Township. Meg Booth has “liked” several posts with extremist themes on Chris Booth’s Facebook account with her personal account. Chris Booth’s Facebook page also features extensive racist propaganda along with iconography often employed by neo-Nazis.

Why is land/sky so cleanly split between mammals/birds?
Like, I'm aware of there being exceptions like Penguins, Ostriches, and Bats. But in general, why is there such a distinct land/air split between mammals and birds? Why don't mammals share the ground with ecosystems of plant- and meat-eating walking birds? Why didn't we get birds that evolved to slither like snakes, or tunnel like rodents? Why isn't it (land+sky) all just mammals, where we'd have parrot- and vulture-like bats that don't lay eggs? If we started the simulation again, might things like this evolve?

I suspect it's partly just coincidence. Prior to the K–Pg extinction, the sky was ruled by non-birds. Pterosaurs. In fact, the late Cretaceous saw some of the largest creatures to ever fly, like Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx.

At the same time, it was also not mammals that ruled the ground, it was, as many an eight year-old can attest, dinosaurs.

The K–Pg extinction event may have killed off all the non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs, in part because of their larger size. So the very thing that made them "rule" before is what killed them off, and conversely, the very thing that kept avian dinosaurs (i.e., birds) and mammals from ruling during the Cretaceous is what allowed them to survive that event and evolve to fill the many niches vacated by non-avian dinosaurs after the event.

Self Loading Mixers with Tough Tires: The Ultimate Off-Road Concrete Solution

In the challenging terrain of remote construction sites, where conventional concrete delivery methods falter, self loading concrete mixers with rugged tire systems are emerging as the definitive solution. These robust machines combine autonomous operation with exceptional mobility to conquer landscapes that would stop other equipment in its tracks. From mining camps to wind farm installations, these off-road warriors are redefining what's possible in concrete placement, blending raw capability with precision engineering to deliver results where it matters most.

AS 4.0 Cement Mixer Self Loading Machine for Road Widden in El Salvador

Conquering Extreme Terrain with Purpose-Built Design


The true test of any off-road equipment comes when faced with soft sand, muddy tracks, or rocky inclines – conditions where standard construction vehicles quickly become immobilized. Self-loading concrete mixers for sale UK built for such environments feature oversized, deep-tread tires with reinforced sidewalls that distribute weight evenly while providing exceptional grip. Unlike traditional mixing trucks that require stable roads, these specialized tires allow operation on gradients up to 25 degrees and can traverse terrain that would challenge even experienced off-road drivers. The secret lies in their adaptive tire pressure systems, which operators can adjust on-the-fly to match changing ground conditions without stopping work.

Uninterrupted Production in Isolated Locations


Remote job sites often lack the infrastructure for conventional concrete supply, making self-sufficiency paramount. These mixers carry their own water supply and aggregate storage, eliminating dependence on external batching plants. Their loading arms can source materials directly from local stockpiles, while the integrated weighing system ensures perfect mix proportions every time. What truly sets them apart is their ability to maintain production continuity – mixing one batch while moving to the next placement location, a capability that transforms productivity in sprawling projects like pipeline installations or rural road networks. The combination of autonomous operation and off-road mobility means concrete arrives exactly where needed, precisely when required, regardless of how far off the beaten path the work occurs.

Durability That Matches the Demands of Harsh Environments


Construction equipment faces its toughest challenges not just from terrain, but from the punishing conditions of dust, vibration, and constant use. Off-road self-loading mini concrete mixers are built to a different standard, with hardened steel components in high-wear areas and completely sealed electrical systems that withstand prolonged exposure to the elements. Their drivetrains feature heavy-duty axles and limited-slip differentials that provide traction even when partially submerged. Maintenance access points are strategically placed for easy servicing in field conditions, while critical components like the mixing drum benefit from abrasion-resistant liners that extend service life in silica-rich environments. This level of ruggedization ensures reliable operation through thousands of cycles in conditions that would quickly disable conventional equipment.

The advent of properly equipped self-loading mixers has effectively erased the concept of "inaccessible" when it comes to concrete placement. As infrastructure development pushes into increasingly challenging environments, these machines stand ready to deliver the literal foundation for progress. Their unique combination of mobility, autonomy, and durability represents not just an equipment category, but a fundamental shift in how the construction industry approaches remote projects. For contractors facing the dual challenges of difficult terrain and concrete supply, these tough-tired workhorses offer a solution that's as practical as it is powerful.

Just arrived home from seeing David Lee Roth at the Hard Rock. Band was excellent, he brought along 4 back up singers, and the setlist was all VH from the first 6 albums. For a guy who has lived the life he has and is almost 71 he looks great.
We all know the voice is gone, but the on stage persona is still there, and for 105 minutes the crowd got to enjoy Dave's on stage antics and hear old VH tunes.
