Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

Julio Riviera:

If 2024 were a movie, it’d be a dystopian thriller, where the hacker is both the hero and the villain. Picture this: Change Healthcare — a linchpin in America’s healthcare system — gets breached, exposing the private data of millions and prompting everyone to wonder if their medical records are now on sale alongside cheap knockoff sunglasses in a darknet bazaar. Meanwhile, CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity bigwig supposedly built to stop such calamities, faced its own cyber-event. That’s like hearing that a fire station caught fire — and no, the irony doesn’t make it any less terrifying.

Add to this chaos a laundry list of cyber-skirmishes: Iranian hackers weaponizing IoT devices; the endless menace of ransomware attacks, keyloggers, and trojans; and state-sponsored espionage campaigns from the usual suspects (China and Russia, here’s looking at you). In short, cybersecurity in 2024 was less of a strategy and more of a Whac-A-Mole game — but with the moles being sophisticated state actors and American institutions holding the mallet backward.
 
As often happens when a great man who is also a visionary fails, Field was immediately viewed as a villain. He was accused of fraud and of being a profiteer.

Before he could resurrect his reputation, the Civil War stopped all efforts at relaying a transatlantic cable. Field, however, did not give up. Although Rudyard Kipling penned his immortal “If” a half-century later, he might have been thinking of Field when he wrote

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
...
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

So it was that the moment the Civil War ended, Field mounted another consortium. This time, despite another accident that might have ended the project, Field’s dream came to fruition. After more than a decade of work and thirty ocean trips between Britain and America, Field presided over the first ever fully operational transatlantic capable, which was completed in July 1866.

Unions are for the common man, the working man and they know that the best way to strike a blow for the common man is to strike out at Christmas! That will show everyone who's The Boss!
 
Overnight, we hit Houthi and blow up fish shit.

There was a no strike law during WW2. Not long after VJ Day and the auto industry was getting back to making cars instead of tanks, there was a big-ass steel strike. I learned this tidbit by reading a history on anvils. My guess is, as bad as pent-up new car demand was, I cannot imagine they made any friends in the general economy.

Still basking in the warm glow of Wartime solidarity. Then came the UN and the great dissinunification in communication and pacification (and whole lot of getting even with Igor, who let them meet in his barn).

I think their/there/they're contracts were up and they had worked all war at the same wage. There was demand and inflation, and they wanted their/there/they're piece of it.
 
Peace, prosperity and a payoff.
They deserved it and earned it.
However, the example reverberates as inherited entitlement.
I know what they did for me, but what have you (they now) really done for me, or done to me, by paying your dues?
(in a less traditional sense of the words "paid your dues" as in, check in the mail, not, on deposit)
 
Those Levittowns wouldn't be along for a few more years.


Look what the GI Bill wrought. I reckon is was better than the WW1 Bonus - that spawned an army made up of ex-Army.


They would be leaving it to Beaver before they knew it.

It was a good thing, like the 14th, a specific thing, to the time, but like so many good things, so many refused to let go, to be "a part of it."
 
Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.

(Quran 18:29)


People who confiscate other people's property for whatever reason - lame, justified, or otherwise - are liars and thieves, scum in the sight of Allah, and he hates them and will torment them forever and a bit longer for good measure.

[TD]During the reign of Henry VII, a curious job emerged to serve the king of England: the “groom of the stool,” an attendant who helped with the monarch’s toileting. The “stool” in the title refers not to excrement, but to the “close stool,” a luxurious portable toilet that followed the king during his travels. One close stool made for Henry VIII in 1546 was trimmed in ribbon and gilt nails, and came with a leather carrying case.[/TD]

[TD]The groom was in charge of the close stool and monitoring the king’s bathroom habits, and may have even helped clean the royal bottom afterward. But it wasn’t considered a menial job — it was a prestigious position held by men of influence. Perhaps due to the intimate nature of the gig, the groom of the stool was a close royal adviser, too. Henry VII’s longtime groom Hugh Denys eventually became the king’s personal treasurer. Henry VIII’s first groom, William Compton, handled many of his personal affairs from the get-go, including arranging romantic encounters. (He eventually became fabulously rich.) Henry VIII’s final groom, Arthur Denny, even controlled his signature stamp.[/TD]

[TD]The last known groom of the stool, at least by that name, was Michael Stanhope, who worked under King Edward VI in the 16th century. The office lapsed during the reign of two female monarchs, Queen Mary and the last Tudor monarch, Queen Elizabeth I, who both had their own set of domestic staff. During the reign of the Stuarts, starting in the early 17th century, the title changed to the more polite “groom of the stole,” referring to dressing the king rather than doing his dirty work. King Edward VII eliminated the position entirely when he ascended to the throne in 1901.[/TD]

In an era where technology is the silent pulse of our daily lives, the question of its place in our educational institutions has never been more pressing. The debate over cell phone use in Massachusetts school classrooms is not just about policy; it’s a reflection of our societal values, our educational philosophy, and our vision for the future of learning. From a centrist perspective, where we strive to balance innovation with well-being, it’s time to consider a bold move: banning cell phones from classrooms. Here’s why this policy could be the silent revolution our schools need.

Not my schools and not my kids, but it sure makes a heck of a lot of sense. I somewhat think early education should oriented to paper, pencil and brain.
