the Taylor Edwards building: to reignite this older fire… I ventured downtown today (I loathe the prospect) to meet a prospective client and a current client for a show and tell. We met at the Taylor Edwards building, and I’m chronically early for my business engagements, nearly 40min early...

“They tried to buy us in 1867, during Second World War, and now they are trying again,” local Kulusuk resident Bent Abeelsen told CNN. Ive been looking for connections between “leaders” and oligarchs and politicians and Greenland and Antarctica lately. Quite a bit of action it seems.

Just saw this news article: Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Other Billionaires are Funding a Quest for Rare Minerals Buried Beneath Greenland's Ice Capable to Build Electric Cars and Renewable Batteries I have some sincere doubts about the nature of this expedition

In the same vein as this, I recently discovered the prospect of vacuum airships. Rather than inflate a balloon with gases lighter than air, a structure has all atmosphere pumped out of it yielding a 14% increase in buoyancy over helium. I’ve found references to this idea “dated” back to the...

Interestingly, there are 30 something photos of the “construction of the salt lake temple” available here: Rare Photos Show Stages of 40-Year-Long Salt Lake City Temple Construction

I’ve been teetering on the brink of falling down the DNA rabbit hole myself… looking at not necessarily chimeric creations, but foods. Monsanto and GMO are relatively recent, but there’s a whole lot of evidence of crop modification over the centuries. it seems like “life” is like a Lego kit...

The two legged mermaid was the original Starbucks logo, slowly phased out:

That’s a fascinating video

Not to rehash a retiring thread, but I stumbled upon this and felt a pretty meaningful parallel. On another tear about the reason/meaning of the names of our planets and the historical context of those names… I learned that Uranus is a modernized spelling of Ouranos, the god of the skies. Some...

there must be currents at every depth, of some sort at least. I can’t back that up with facts. I would expect the holes/mounds to be disrupted at some point. Also, the piles seem to be between the holes without and mounding to the sides… meaningful? @Recognition youre right, our socialization...

Very interesting. Oddly, every article is a mere regurgitation of the original with no new or different information. perhaps their equipment wasn’t able to test, but how big are the holes? How deep? How far apart? What a tease

Very interesting indeed. Do you have any sources or citations for that info?

I believe the written word follows the spoken word, and the spoken follows the path of least resistance. in my short time on this planet I’ve seen octopi turn octopuses, the apostrophe adopted by pluralization, and your turn to ur. imagine what’s happened over centuries.

Yeah. The evolution (or devolution) the language is certainly worth exploring. Funny how Vs and Us were used quite inversely, but we still call a W a “double u” even though we clearly write it as a “double v” unlike in Spanish, where it’s a “doble v” again I digress. with regard to the...

I was going to leave that one alone (-: i did get curious as to when “discribed” morphed into “described” though

@usselo excellent post, thank you for wrangling back to the subject matter. I fear that JD and I might spar on semantics, meta discussion, and existentialism until kingdom come. I am personally very interested in magnetism and electromagnetism, and I do enjoy making my own rendition of antique...

I don’t think it’s reasonable to equate what you would do with what everybody would do. I think that most people on or viewing this blog think and see the word in an entirely different way than the masses. but to play along, if you owned a delivery business but couldn’t afford or otherwise...

I concur significantly with your diatribe. I also feel like our individual theses have significant congruence while we debate the periphery. you said “is imagining the actual process of how things were done. We always go from what we do today as a start point” which is my entire interest. That...

I’m going to poke you here JD. You are wont to remind us how unreliable information and text from the “past” is. You have opined that anything beyond our personal life cycle is anecdotal at best… yet you seem to reference the statement “usually used above the captains bunk so the captain could...

were you to place a gun to my head and ask "was this ship ever built?" I would without hesitation say "no." even after some in-depth investigation, nothing leads me to believe that this ship was even viable in any way. it certainly appears to be some fantastical flight of fancy (pun intended)...
