Yeh. I am growing wheatgrass for my kitty and mushrooms once I get some more money. How do you make biodiesal? Sounds awesome. Can you make enough to run a vehicle with just those crops?

>>23173
mushrooms? like how champignon and shiitake are grown at scale? in like sawdust logs?
>How do you make biodiesal? Sounds awesome. Can you make enough to run a vehicle with just those crops?
sure, the real question is yield per ha. process is roughly this:
1. grow and harvest your oil crop of choice
2. press oil using a rapeseed press. they use water to do the actual pressing, very neat
3. dissolve an amount of NaOH (lye) in an alcohol. methanol is cheapest, ethanol is safer
4. mix the oil and NaOH+alcohol mixture in a cylinderconic tank with a tap on the bottom
5. keep the tank at around 50-60°C and stir
6. you will eventually see a thick transparent liquid collect at the bottom. this is glycerol. separate that out
7. once fully reacted, spray water from the top to get rid of any remaining alcohol and lye
8. separate out the final biodiesel
exact recipes are available online. this is a transesterification process where the glycerol backbone in the fat is replaced by the alcohol. NaOH is a catalyst. different alcohols and different oils produce fuels with different properties. they're all fatty acid esters however
you may need to mix this with regular diesel to improve its gelling point, or use different kinds of these biodiesels together. there's a bit of experimentation there

Cute gift, but lordy I hope they don't wear that shit outside.

I love this and it's hilarious but the position and size of the print doesn't look that great imo. I would have to see it on a person to get a better idea of how it looks tho. I would suggest making the front pic and the back the same ratio and size tho. And drop it down slightly on the shirt

I won't be surprised if it ends up in a thrift store, although they fucking loved it when I first gave it to them.
>>23150
Yeah, this was my first time doing any type of iron-on transferring so it came out shit. If I had more shirts to practice with, I would've made sure that there weren't any visible steam markings like it is here.

nvm it's the other kind of football
hide your eyes folks

don't look

The Washington Football Team, formerly known as the Redskins, has officially became the Commanders.

Jokes about the burgundy and gold "Washington Commies" ensue.

>>22807
Maybe it's me but it sounds like a team name from the XFL lol

>>22710
College but it's going through an era of changes.

Going to take time to figure out everything but the change is much needed.

>>22807
Stupid ass shit.

>>22899
Fair.

>>22710
NFL is like fun to watch as entertainment, but my god it's so bogged down and the refs are fukkin' terrible.

Raging at your shitty team is also its own kind of fun, lol

Probably college is, but I don't watch admittedly.

>>23083
c'mon man

wait, you guys are being unironic?

Take it to the next level: bags.

yes

If the slow blade penetrates the shield, shouldn't that restrict the user to slow movements or their feet would bounce off the ground?

>>23051
I think Star Wars does it best, where its like an active field which dissipates energy (so automatically negates blaster's plasma fire and other kinds of lasers like lightsabers) and decelerates projectiles (making traditional guns less useful), but they are prohibitively expensive and power-consuming so they are mostly used for super-heavy vehicles or static defenses

>>23063
Meh, that’s still the most boring use of it. It’s just an author fiat for no personal shield. Seeing how ships like the gigantic star destroyer crashed and exploded in the return of the Jedi even with shields, I would say a small droid ship with shields crashing into fleets would be effective.
>>23051
I guess Dune is the only thing that took shield fighting into account. Then again, because of the fact that it’s basically impossible irl, writers had to imagine it to be comparable to physical armor but stronger.

>>23063
My consumption of sci fi media is limited, but I do enjoy that Star Wars thought and addressed the paradox of energy fields repulsing everything while still needing movement to pass through terrain. I.e Droidekas, basically droid hamster balls, by accepting the paradox and incorporating it into their lore as a way of defeating them. Basically in a cartoon TV series, they spend a whole episode teaching monarchist loyalist “revolutionaries” how to defeat Droidekas. The logic is that the energy shields somehow repulse only rapid moving objects. However, one easily observed that the Droidekas move with their energy shields, like when rotating. Droidekas have been shown to have their energy shields move to envelop debris rather than push the debris away. Of course the concept that an energy shield can envelop something is sort of confusing and brings in other questions, but Star Wars, being a sci-fi fantasy, just said fuck it, and said that slow moving objects will “trick” the energy shield into being environment and be enveloped. So they train the revolutionaries to roll grenades at such a velocity that it does not bounce off the shield and stops right where the droid is inside the shield.

>>23053
>Many weapons batteries against a single shield-generator battery is still a defeat, in a fight against greater numbers you still have to avoid their attacks to survive, and using the shield as a bubble trap reduces the number of opponents.
Energy shields in a scifi scenario set in a "conventional" war using mostly common soldiers, elite soldiers to a lesser degree and a few weapons of mass destruction presuppose, that energy consumption will place a hard limit on mobile equipment. In this scenario focusing artillery fire on a singular soldier might yield a tactical advantage, yet in most situation it would allow a faster advance of the remaining soldiers. Using shields as a bubble trap would either destroy them fast, contain opponents less effectively than it could have nullified their shots as armor (because of surface area), or require large machinery to operate.
Assuming these sort of shield to be effective would need a major twist in worldbuilding equal to hyperspace in (pre-TLJ) SW, when industry to produce them would be capable of much more. Suppose those shields were electromagnetic fields capable of diverting any particle up to a certain speed and large advancements were made by discovering alloys amplifying these fields range while preserving their magniture. They would more likely extend existing uses by protecting a larger range or protecting them with a higher magnitude. An unconventional but more or less viable use would be interfering with lesser fields lacking the new technology or lacking magnitude in general.
tl;dr using energy shields as a bubble trap would be like creating a smokescreen with zephyr particles

I think there are still some world records that were achieved by socialist states that still haven't been broken
But tbf the DDR nad USSR did a lot of doping on their athletes

>>22624
>DDR nad USSR did a lot of doping on their athletes
Not this bull again. This is Cold War propaganda bullshit, The East Bloc used the same kinds of drugs as the West, heck Norway had several of its Athletes permitted to compete even as Soviet athletes got penalized for using the SAME drug. Moreover outside of steroids, most "doping" is not used in competition, but in training as a supplement to the training regimen to maximize the effectiveness, it's not the same as roiding out and riding on that alone, it's not different to a specific diet.

Thanks I was waiting for someone to debunk it

It's something that came up during the prior Olympics, during the "ban Russia from participating under their flag" debacle, it's kind of an obscure fact and mainstream media has carefully trying to ignore this, most of the articles that had this info have since disappeared, and link related is one of the few I managed to locate.
https://www.skisport.ru/news/anti-doping/106947/

I find it kinda funny how apathetic I and in fact most of the planet has become to the Olympics TBH. Social Spectacle has become repetitive and lacking any of the novelty that originally made the Olympics interesting even a decade ago, compared to today.

On a related note, how furries banded onto Olympic art depicting 'Stralian animals: https://archive.ph/04TJI a tradition from at least the days of the Animalympics.
video kinda related but for Brazil, ironically the jaguar used in the Brazil Olympic torch relay ceremony was shot to death after it escaped its leash and tried to attack a soldier, a real tragedy, and irony given the mascot of that Olympics had been Ginga the Jaguar.

A capitalist confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy.

I found one of your clowns eating around on my sub box also hey isn't this guy >>22848 in HIMYM because he thnks that he is actually the hero of the movie?

And then they actually made him into a good guy in this show I heard

You know what's really funny about MBTI if Jung were still alive he would probably unalive himself for what Jungian Typology had become. Dude had never intended his theories to be another way for society to trap them in oversimplified, stereotypical roles (I mean he was a bit sexist but that's another discussion for another day). He made up this entire theory with the understanding that it's not falsifiable and it should only be used as a tool to help patients in his therapy sessions to help frame their experiences.

For example, you feel trapped by a persona you feel you must adhere to because you feel everyone will hate you if you don't. However, you get extremely angry when others say what they want and act however they want. You do everything in your power to keep them in line because their unpredictability is untasteful. Untasteful for who? Why is it that when you become angry and control other people to the point of driving them away it's good but when others are acting in a diiferent but harmless manner it's bad? Who are you really angry at? You seem to fit under the archetype of extroverted feeling, let's explore the light and shadow concepts existing in this scenario.

That's it, nothing more. Everything is just capitalist nonsense that was expanded upon two sisters' work who also admitted that their indicator's usage should be kept on a limited basis. Capitalism took a tool that could have been to help people realize the spooks society and capitalism feed them as well as the lies they tell themselves which harms the people around them as another way to abstract the relationships we have with one another. It's far more easier to call someone a dumb ESFP who doesn't understand you than realize that that person is just a projection of what you might become if didn't repress your personality to sell yourself to porky.

I don't expect people to suddenly change their whole perspective on MBTI but I think it's wrong to dismiss it for reasons the originator never even promised he would achieve.

Anyone else feel slightly embarrassed over taking MBTI too seriously in the past?

>>22596
not at all
I have none of the shame I should be having

>>22596
What about you? Also what type are you?

>>20948
good point
it is kind of just a weird self inflicted caste system in a way or like some mental illness identity but whatever I get the sense anyways that it is helpful for thinking about the similarities and differences of people, in a package stimulating and memeish enough to not roll right off my polished smooth and ADD addled internet receptacle organ

Weed, it's too expensive and when I do have it I smoke every day, I can hold off and say no to things like alcohol or psychs. Thank god I never picked up cocaine, benzos, or opiates.

>>22586
Weed famously causes no physiological dependence.
>>22581
>How do I process my emotions and also give myself new values?
I dont't know, by struggling?
The only emotions I know are anger and hunger (is that an emotion?).

>>22590
Physioogical depndence no, psychological dependence absolutely.

>>22581
do you have somewhere you like to go or music you like to listen to in order to reflect calmly/peacefully?

>>22595
yeah weed can be addictive and worsen certain mental health and lifestyle problems with some people and with unhealthy use
