I know of someone who was in a very large dump truck that flipped on it's side when someone pulled out in front of him, he swerved to avoid T-boning the old guy in the driver side door. Truck flipped on it's side, slid across the road and crushed the cab of the truck, killing the dump truck driver.

I do not recall if he hit the engine portion of the car or not that caused him to flip or the truck flipped due to load shifting, maybe a combination of both. But he would have smashed that old guy like paper and probably would have lived if he just ran him over.

So I can see why a truck driver would be very upset at someone being careless around them...besides it affecting their livelihood with any sort of damage they may take in any accident or avoidance of.

And I'd just like to say as someone who used to run some fairly heavy machinery, it bugged me every day when people were careless around me. Because I could have easily crippled if not killed people outright in seconds, and that was with a big loud machine and a blocked off work area people chose to ignore. Was the worst when they assumed just because you were slow moving that you could easily stop and maneuver. Luckily I never hurt anyone, but if I had it would have haunted me despite my having done everything I could do aside from not using the machines at all.

That's true for a post industrial POV.
When machines already exist, and you just need energy to get things moving.

The energetic concerns of bygone eras were :
Whale oil, and later kerosene. For lighting. (note: back then, a day's work would only buy minutes of light)
Firewood, and later coal. For heating.
Manpower was the only energy user when it came to food production.

Early machines such as the combine were horse drawn, and did not need an energy architecture in place. (ignoring "food" as an energy)

Later machines used steam power, and hence could piggy back on the already existing wood/coal energy architecture (in turn stimulating it to grow larger).

Once the machinery industry was established, and the revenue generation was in place, it was possible to invest in improvements and alternative energies - ultimately leading up to oil burning machinery being common.

In any case, historically, industrialization drove the energy industry. (As it should, why have an industry to produce a product (energy) that isn't needed?)
And industrialization depended on a conducive society. A place where an inventor could own his invention, and could sell it, allowing things that were no more than ideas or garage trinkets to transition into products - which in turn place demand on other resources such as [forms of] energy.

In the past, there was nothing, so everything was build from the ground up. Industries grew out of nothing, they weren't established up front.
Modern times are different, where you have investment capital from entities who's entire existence revolves around investing, and you can front the establishment of an industry in the calculated hope of future demand.
(Granted, lords/aristocrats had a hand in industrial investment. Just not the kind or scale that you can see today.)

What you say applies a bit later, when industrialization was already well under way. Like when Thomas Edison used investment capital to fund power plants and an electrical network, in order to power the first [practical, but not 'first'] light bulb in New York.

One of the many core and wrong ideas in Feminism is that the sex of a person doesn't seem to play much of a role in anything. And in this case, Feminism is responsible for holding back medical science. Feminism is a blight on intellectual discourse. I'm not going to spend the time it takes to unravel a snake like Feminism here, but in brief, it's an untenable ideology.

One of its core philosophies is the idea of the Patriarchy, which is not only theoretical, but creates hypocritical scenarios in Feminist debate.

For instance, Feminists state that the Patriarchy supports and allows men to lead privileged lives. Yet when it is pointed out that men are sentenced twice as long for exact same crimes; men have zero protection of their genitals as babies; that there is FAR more funding for women's schooling, businesses, and health; or that in any emergency situation it is expected that men's lives are forfeit - the argument you'll get back is "See, Patriarchy hurts men too!". This rebuttal is in obvious contradiction to the idea that Patriarchy allows men to live privileged lives.

Another core idea is wage gap which has been disproven over and over for decades, even by some Feminsts:

http://www.topmanagementdegrees.com/women-dont-make-less/

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christina-hoff-sommers/wage-gap_b_2073804.html

Feminism also focuses a great deal on "objectification", which presupposes that men are (always) sexually attracted to something *other* than the curves of a womans body. This is not only obviously off kilter for anyone with a basic understanding of evolutionary psychology, but has been scientifically proven false. Men are biologically wired to base mate finding on looks.

So the word 'objectification' actually becomes Feminist propaganda for the demonizing of male sexuality.

Furthermore regarding female objectification in society - we all often see the viral videos "How Women's Bodies Are Changed Beyond Recognition in Photoshop!" But consider that 80% of consumer dollars are spent by women. So in essence we have women complaining about women being objectified while women buy into objectification. What exactly do we expect advertising agencies to do?

I've even seen scenarios for men in which, if he found a woman attractive, then he's objectifying her; and if he found her unattractive, then he's shallow for only caring about looks.

Then there is argument from Feminists that Feminism helps to empower men as well. No, it doesn't. In fact much has been shown in the opposite: http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/g2eme/feminists_tell_you_that_the_solution_to_mens/

98% of workforce deaths are male. You never see Feminists rallying to take on these jobs on the front lines in combat, or in jobs that involve heavy machinery, working outdoors in inclement weather, inhaling toxic fumes, or apprehending dangerous criminals. Why not? After all, fair is fair! Let's remove the stigma around men being "losers" if they are stay-at-home Dads, while Moms can be the breadwinners for once.

It's clear that Feminism isn't about gender equality. You never see Feminists rallying about how He-Man set an unrealistic body image for boys, but the focus and attention on Barbie has been unreal.

Take into consideration, among everything else I've stated, that words like "mansplaining" are part of Feminist vocabulary, and I think you start to get a picture why no self respecting man has anything to do with Feminism.

There's much much more research, evidence, and articles I can cite, but the final point is that Feminism is a toxic and counterproductive movement.

Perhaps there will be "equality between the sexes" when the likelihood of men becoming estranged from their children and families after a divorce is the same as it is for women... Or when the expectation of "supporting" one's family is actually spending time with them and not simply being their "wallet"...

I'll see equality when the life expectancy between men and women is the same... Or when the risk of becoming homeless is the same... Or to become a victim of violence (or simply being suspected of violence or threatened with violence due to ones gender) is the same.. Or when the probability of dying by suicide is the same. . . Perhaps we'll all be equal then.

I haven't seen it quite like this, they say that's clay in the description there. I was expecting when they dug into it that water would start pooling in the hole...kinda weird.


But I've been on job sites where the ground looks damp at most and the more you drive, walk, whatever over it the water just starts to pump up to the surface and it becomes a total mess. It's why you try not to park machinery anywhere near where you're clearing because you might come back to a machine that once it moves will literally be stuck in something like quick sand.

What I've always been told is that when you prepare a site for something like a walking/driving surface, you have to consider the size and weight of things driving across it. And you install stone in an appropriate size and depth to create ......sort of a locked together surface where all the edges of the rocks form kind of a linked bridge that provides stability over the dirt below it. So the final asphalt/concrete won't break apart because of too much sub-surface movement. And the stone also allows water to drain away into the subsurface or from under the asphalt/concrete so it won't freeze and bust the ground from below.


So I think what the description is saying is that this ground has reached some kind of perfect saturation point. Probably once it takes in so much water it probably fills the clay and the pool structure below it, and then the water has to flow elsewhere.

While I don't doubt these guys are very skilled, I think we can start calling this "hand assembled", as quite clearly the vast majority of the work is done by very capable machines.

All "hand made" items typically have some sort of tool but usually quite rudimentary, not multi-million dollar advanced machinery with nano precision. I feel like we need to draw the line some where

I think you'd have to try it firsthand. I don't know, either. But it is not like other tryptamines even if they share molecular structure. NN-DMT is unlike them all.

Like Joe Rogan said: "Mushrooms X 1,000,000 + Aliens = DMT"

Why do people see them and why do they "teach" people things. It's a good question. Maybe it is what McKenna said "The After-Life Machinery" or maybe it is very deep in the subconscious.

It doesn't really matter if it is "real" or not. It could drive a person crazy thinking about it after they have seen it "for real". What matters, is here is a deep mystery that anyone can experience for themselves, and it's fairly... beyond imagination.

I would wager that the sound of the machinery in the background might be painful to the gorilla's sensitive ears.

Always frustrates me when I see a video of a dog freaking out when it is exposed to sounds that are most likely painful to their sensitive hearing, and some derpy person is sitting there wondering what the hell their dog is freaking out about...

The problem with this is how Americans continue to mistake the office of the president as this all powerful dictator position.

The office of the president is not a kingship, it is not totalitarian. It is one branch of three and it's not even the most powerful branch. Congress is the most powerful branch.

So whenever we have these scandals (left or right) the focus is always on the president even though they may or may not have anything to do with it. I'm not saying they're blameless, but they're certainly not the ringleader. There may be no ringleader. Whenever we have this scandal, there's always this mistaken notion that it was some grand conspiracy with very specific aims and goals and I don't think that is typically the case. I think most of these scandals are simply born out of laziness or negligence or simply just protecting one's ass. Government is a big machine (even in the right wing fantasy of small gov't, it will always be big) and it's more likely it's some unintentional screwup than some pre-meditated maneuver.

IMO, this is most evident during Bush's administration. The guy is obviously not that bright. There was something else going on behind the scenes pulling the strings. Even though Obama certainly is far more intelligent, it still doesn't change a thing that there is a bigger machinery at work and one person alone doesn't steer the boat.

And no I'm not talking about some cliche'd Iluminati-style group. You've just got a large go'vt mechanism that wields a lot of power and it's run by fallible people which is a far simpler plausible explanation.

The only way it's going to be better is if people demand it. But we don't even have half the nation voting. So you have a better than 50 percent chance that any time you hear someone complaining about the gov't...they probably didn't vote.

This idea is old. We used to have kings and dictators, but eventually people demanded something different so they came up with councils and parliaments and congresses, etc that wielded the real power, but they kept the kings and queens as a distraction, as a symbol even though they lost the bulk of their power.

Again, I'm not saying the office of the president is blameless, i'm just trying to inject some perspective.

Rychan, you're right. We buy pools and encourage kids to play in them, thereby sending a bad signal regarding the danger of it. Most gun owners treat guns like the deadly serious pieces of machinery they are (of course there are jackasses out there that would be an exception to that). The first time I held a gun I accidentally passed the barrel across the direction of my uncle and I wasn't allowed to hold another gun until a YEAR later. Never made that mistake again. It's like anything that's dangerous -it requires personal responsibility and not the government to play mommy. Except in the case of guns it should also require background checks and stricter penalties if you're a dumbass.

Your video, The machinery of the drone war is too big to curtail, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Why does NATO still give Russian machinery weird cartoon names?

yes, it showed the lengths you will go to to make a point. Wether it is pointless lengths to make pointless points is not really my intention to judge.

*edit* To make this a bit less of a flame-bait:
It is a pretty good idea to question every video on the internet regarding its authenticity and relevance. Violence in porn and the subjugation of possibly stupid or simply desperate individuals is worth talking about. It is also worth talking about the kind of people who get stuck in this machinery and why it results in this rather disturbing footage
