Only thing I can wrap my brain around was a scouting event I took my son to years back. He got sick and we had to leave. As we were driving out a massive storm hit and washed away many of the tents/campsites and parents later told us they had to hide in their vehicles. We spent the day trying to reach dads and family members to make sure everyone was ok. But this. I just can’t.

Not rubbing on anything. Just tight on my arch and dorsum. My arch was super sore. I do have flat feet, but this really isn’t a problem with other brands of boots.
I have a pair of those old, wooden shoe stretchers that work great on boots. I just slide them in there, crank them open and leave overnight. worked on both mine and my son's new boots. Might help?

I think one issue at play that makes an analysis from a historical perspective insufficient is that the pace and scale of disruptive change is accelerating at an exponential pace, while the general cognitive ability of the human brain is not. At the very least, technological advancements can far outpace evolutionary advancement. How humans adapted to the scope and velocity of technological disruption in say the 15th century when scribes started being replaced by the printing press (a process that took over a century) is not necessarily applicable to how humans will adapt to the far greater velocity/magnitude of change that AI disruption will bring in the 21st century.
Agree with this, but I go back to the earlier and much more recent example of the histrionics about the advent of the internet. It spawned many more multiples of jobs in fields never before imagined than it eliminated. This is only a few decades past.

Don’t know if that’s your intent, but it’s interesting you treat animated film as “lesser than” art form.

Harry Potter doesn't fit this mold, but that is because it's a book adaptation. Same with GOT.

Icono's wet dream comes true:
Monarchy at the top; then the Houses of Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos; followed by some sort of merchant class; and of course serfs and/or slaves at the bottom.
"Maybe" - they said the same thing about the internet. How it was going to replace tens of millions of jobs, only to see hundreds of millions of new opportunities arise. One of the best quotes I've heard about innovation and disruption was along the line of asking people a hundred+ years ago what they all wanted: a faster horse.

Hollywood has to be freaking out a bit. All of the Stormtrooper and Harry Potter vlogs, the ancient history vlogs, etc. are all....still looking like AI, but it seems like week-to-week the stuff is improving (or the people providing the prompts are getting better), and people are devouring it on YouTube, etc. People are taking various IPs and building their own videos quickly and easily, without permission of the IP holders, etc.
We've went from off-beat movie trailers in various styles that are still clearly AI and look plastic-y, to "I would watch a feature length version of this vlog" in a matter of months.
Hollywood is going to be even more bifurcated with their movie types - you'll have your lower budget shows that feature actors together focusing on plot and character development, and then all your big, blockbuster stuff will be mainly AI driven. All your fantasy, superhero, Jurassic park, etc. stuff will be AI driven where plot and storytelling give way to animation and special effects.

I wore an expensive pair of Tecovas for about 14 hours yesterday. Combination of sitting and standing. My right foot was killing me all day long. The boots had been broken in previously. They're a few years old.
It's just not a comfortable boot especially when compared to Rujo. I'm done unless they bring back some lizard boots in a certain color I like.
Obligatory what is your boot size......asking for a friend.....;)
I kid, but have you look at stretching them? I did this for mine and my sons. Are they rubbing on the heel or the toes?

My wife and oldest son (7) are going up in a hot air balloon with my mother in law for her 60th birthday in a couple weeks. This isn't making me feel great about that.
Don't. They're an absolute ass beating. It's already fucking hot, even in the morning. Now get into a wicker basket with a rocket engine a few feet above your heads. It's loud, hot and you can't control the damn things.

The "Gibraltar" of the South was about as decisive as it goes in terms of Confederate losses. Grant running his gunboats at night, up against the Confederate shoreline, was a stroke of genius - especially in light that they were unable to depress their guns low enough to engage them.

About two years ago, I was putting in some temporary fencing along the road through my front pasture. That area is mostly caliche, so it wasn't too tough to drive in T-posts. Not as easy as loam, but much better than solid rock. I had about 30 or so 6 footers to get in the ground before I strung the barbed wire. It's the middle of summer, just shy of beer:30 in the afternoon, I'm on the last post, and I'm dog tired. I've got it almost all the way into the ground, so the top of the post is pretty low. Evidently, I lifted it up a tad too high and the driver caromed off the top of the post, turned a few degrees away from me which mean I slammed the butt end of the driver down squarely in the middle of my forehead. I think the brim of my baseball cap saved me from needing staples and probably prevented a concussion. I was still seeing stars and bleeding like a stuck pig. I walked the 200 yards back to the house with blood dumping down my face. My wife turned white as a ghost when I walked in the house. I told her "tis but a flesh wound" (which it was). Crazy how much you can bleed from a scalp wound. I had to throw away my shirt and jeans.
Yep - anything on the head and it's a mess. I've got scars on my chin, cheek, hands, forearms, and knees from doing dumb shit at the ranch. Mostly from barbed wire, sharp rocks, mesquite thorns, livestock, and power tools. In that order.
Pops had a gnarly scar on his knee that looks like it was from replacement surgery - chainsaw accident. Old fart was cutting mesquite trunk low and parallel to the ground, hit a knot and the blade kicked back, caught him square on the knee and "bounced" on the patella. Few inches in, your talking softer tissue, and of course the femoral artery. Cabin looked like a Civil War infirmary. Blood and bandages everywhere. He treated the cut and drove into Ballinger and got medical attention.

The boy is through his freshman year. Biz school. ROTC. Fraternity. Lot to pack into a 1st year. Lost weight, got sick a lot, but he's back and working over the summer and finalizing his Guard contract.
Daughter headed to San Diego for the ECNL soccer playoffs. She has offers in hand, but we'll see if anyone reaches out. Then we're done. I might have to get a puppy....

I'd pay money to watch a Thunderdome type event with those two.
Except I'd prefer "Two men enter, no men leave."
Also using the term "men" here loosely.
Also, no, I wouldn't pay money. But I'd read a Surly summary and or MSPaint of it.
The "King" is all coked and roided out of his head. I would love to see him roll against ANYONE that is a high level BJJ fighter. Love him or not, Rogan is a black belt in Gi and no-Gi and would twist him up in a matter of minutes.

I have the tamping bar that has a 3” nailhead instead of the point. We replaced some fence posts a few weeks back including a corner post set using salvaged telephone poles. My arms still hurt.Yeah, I was the "breaker-bar" kid for the longest damn time. Just a solid metal bar with a chisel tip on one end. Has to be 50+ years old. Still have it. T-post driver is also a big bucket of suck.

What is the temperature in the hole right now at the bottom? If it’s 10° cooler, why don’t you put a plastic chair down there next to a beer cooler and call it a day. You know, a man-hole.
How many beer we talking about, because I'm liable to wind up in that damn hole the next morning....

Ok, I get what you're saying, but almost this (aside from Natanz) happened well before they began enriching uranium to 60+%.
That was in April of '21 - prompting the Natanz Attack on April 11th '21. You apparently need enrichment closer to 90% for a weapon, but they are close - hence the recent movement. All the internal IDF sabotage, drones, and personnel identification/targeting that takes years and years of preparation and planning obviously stems from this achievement in enrichment.

Shit. A big Canadian goose or a swan can send you to the hospital. Wing force of a baseball bat swung at full force. I concur. Especially when they hunt in packs. Get o e on your back. Game over.
