Well, it forms something called the 'nautilus', similar to a cross-section of a conch shell. I guess it was an important symbol, like the earth mother back in the stone age and early metal age (copper, gold, silver) Oh, sorry, that's what an overhead of the pyramids forms... His diagram, i have no clue

Well, that was a heck of a read. It might not have been that much science as it was a poem as well. Who knows. It might have been set by advanced aliens as a key to awakening upon the earth. Ain't like earthlings have ever been all that wise or mentally stable...

I guess one example on the firearm is fine. A round bar is one of the weakest shapes applied in a one-directional force. Simple looking at the stress points of a springs cross-section will reveal everything. Reworking a design as such will render a spring theoretically four times stronger or faster. Even a square-wire spring would be doubly as strong. A spring is part of a gun. It drives the bolt into the round to set it off. If it moves faster, the round cycle is faster. Just an example. Now, I want to help everything. Most of all, I want input on the theory of 'contentment in ease of access'. I dunno. Designing is remarkable easy if you apply a very vivid kind of common sense, although they'll still never listen to you. Maybe I'll have to take over the world

he then pondered for a moment, and said, "My children, you are free! Lively, and strong, live in prosperity and plenty."

Not that I'm saying i wouldn't do cocaine if it was cheap and available, but I'm pretty sure if you just mix raw chocolate and limestone powder together and burn it, you'll get high as fuck. Do like the Incas did, mix it in with tobacco and make a cigar... or just get a rollie, and mix it up with cheap reservation tobacco. Watch out, it shouldn't take much to get you high.

I can't remember what the name of the book was, since I lent/gave it to a freind of mine a long time ago, but it was called essentially 'the Tao and its Way' by Bruce Lee, a book teaching martial arts and his thoughts. It had the same thing going on as any good Taoist text, talking about olives and wine, somehow related to fighting, and confusing the masses. Hehe. Yeah, he spoke of the Tao. Nothing is for sure, so... there you go.

It's 2008. We still work 40 hours a week, groceries still cost alot, housing even more... We aren't even richer than in the '50s. We can buy stuff more, but it just breaks. Now, we should have the wealth for, if your innane, a giant house and 3 cars, and if you got a brain, a shop and lab, and an awesome dune buggy and a small house out in the desert. More and more, i think that to sustain the average lifestyle would be 2 or 3 hours of labor a day with quality products and sensible management. Why do things break? Simple. They are designed to. The military (hurr durr) makes guns which last 50,000 rounds before decommission, yet we cant build a fridge that lasts 30 years like those in the 60s? Horseshit. If it breaks, you buy another. They get richer. This disposable crap method applies to all parts of this society I can see. I could make a car engine weight half the weight, high-performance, that'll last for 10 - 20 years depending how you treat it, yada yada. A fridge with a 25 year warranty, void for unwarranted abuse A house that lasts 300 years based on just a few hours learning about Japanese lacquering methods. I just got no money to start. And I'm not sure how i can make these monkeys like it... shiny, hurr durr. In their defense though, shiny means stainless, and stainless means that part of it will last a while. I want to start a company. Long-life independent or something. Problem is, since about the 80s, they discovered people will buy it if it is cheap, and if its poorly made, they will buy it again. All i want in my life is stuff that i can use to further society (lacking better term). A mech/wood shop, a lab, a computer, a small house attached to it, and a few recreational things... Mini-skatepark, dunebuggy which I made myself, etc. Spend half my day inventing, the other half doing cool stuff. Maybe make the house bigger and sum buds live there or something. Now, how do I get the money together to make a company, eh? This brain is only so big

Yeah, the business world is insane. I've noticed that. When it comes down to it, I just wanna see a world where people only have to work like 4 hours a day to get by comfortably, and with enough free time to do anything. Its entirely possible, though I can't imagine these deranged monkeys ever becoming sensible enough, to have 4 hours of work, and spend the rest of the day doing stuff like bowling and playing pool. Frankly, after all the time I put into unraveling this world, I figure i could figure out anything. 'Cept computer language and second language. I dunno. I'm on a completely different wavelength then the world I think. I was quite young when I discovered If it ain't perfect, there's always an answer", and this is always true. Just isn't always obvious. Pleasure doesn't get in the way of peace. At least not in principle. Anyways, half of our unrest is simply because we work too hard for too little. Yin and yang man. It's only half ourselves. I've proven that we ain't getting nothin' for our buck.

lips real red and thin, no energy, cracked feet, scars remaining purple. then i picked up some b complex vitamin. after i took three, slept, and in the morning, things were already looking half as bad as they were. usualy anything to do with the symptoms i said is lack of b12. If you don't eat alot of bread and whatnot, pick up some. I honestly cant believe what they've done for me, though it will probably take months to make up for months of rejecting flour-food. Just, no respect for the age old sustainer-of-the-people. Bread used to get some respect, but i suppose everything is done in mass production. Whe'ver. This might make a good buffer to a vitamin thread

It's nice here. I was quite amazed to find a board with a chatroom. I was getting quite tired of chatting with those stuffy Buddhists on e-sangha. Quote this and canon that. Hehehe. I live under the copper moon

I hereby love you freakin' all! A quote of yours people ask whom said it is better than a quote by any dead master

The grass ain't any greener, but its a different type of grass.
