Yeah, the first chapter is hard to swallow, and compared to that the next ones feel kind of underwhelming. The book often changes pace, however there are no more gut punches like the first chapter, if that is what you are concerned about.

In case you haven’t done so already I suggest reading The Ministry for the Future.

There is a difference between calling for self-defense, calling for killings and supporting Hamas killing civilians.

Well, I wouldn’t mind if then you didn’t criticize my take on a situation you didn’t even try to comprehend.

So you are commenting on a post about a post you didn’t even read?
- Comment on Dbzero has Defederated from Feddit.org following its Governance post about the later's Zionist Bar Problem 4 weeks ago:
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Whether they are grounded in reality is another matter. Every case of “Zionist censorship” listed in the dbzer0 post boils down to one of their members calling to kill the other side or calling someone Zionist because they don’t support killing the other side.

And what does that have to do with people removing peoples posts calling for more violence?

- Comment on 'Reverse Solar Panel' Generates Electricity at Night 1 month ago:
Everywhere. You have to consider two points: Most light in our nightsky comes from the reflection of sunlight by the Moon. Secondly deep space is not the space between planets or even between the outmost planet and the Kuiper Belt.
It is the place between stars, which is lightyears in diameters and where every star is just a tiny dot in the sky. This is not enough available energy to power our current level of electronics via solar. Which is why i.e. the Voyager probes use RTGs as power source after they left the area of our solar system where solar power is viable.
- Comment on What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail? 1 month ago:
The type of flail seen in your picture wasn’t used by the peasantry but nobility. Some crafty blacksmith probably saw drafted farmers take their threshing flail into battle as improvised weapon and thought about how to properly weaponize the concept. Also we are not talking about two flimsy sticks here. Flails used for threshing had to be sturdy as they needed to last the whole harvest season. They were made from hardwood and I can personally attest, that they are heavy indeed. The things one finds when clearing the grandparents barn …
As for the practicality of the weaponized flail: it was indeed of dubious use and it is questionable whether it saw widespread military adoption or whether it was the equivalent of “tacticool” gear of the middle ages. An iron club is indeed a more effective weapon and is commenly referred to as mace and if you take a look at a specific type of mace you can probably guess where the idea of the spiky ball came from.

- Comment on Looking for "printable" fonts?! 3 months ago:
Once I have a space for a workshop or live somewhere near a maker space, a laser cutter is definitely on my bucket list. Not available at the moment.
- Comment on Looking for "printable" fonts?! 3 months ago:
Well, there are plenty of fonts available with these sorts of bars attached that can be printed this way. For example, I saved this font for another project. However, looking at it in the 3D render, the font seems too fragmented at this scale. Another option might be this one. But they both don’t fit the aesthetic I would like to have.
Yes, creating my own font is also viable, but I would prefer to not dig into another branch of creative work, as I tend to start too many projects at once, anyway.

- Comment on Epstein email exchanges planned strategy, edits and reported progress 3 months ago:
To show that this whitewashing is an international problem I would like to refer to the page of our “beloved” Chancellor Friedrich Merz. For years the running gag (and fact) about him was that his German article starts with “Friedrich Merz is a lobbyist and politician”. In this order. Lobbyist first, politician second. Since he’s been elected the first mention of him working as a lobbyist has been relegated to the end of the second paragraph.
