@Max_Kowalsky @Rainmaker1973 Increased manufacturing conplexity and reduced structural integrity creating increaed byproduct waste and energy usage. Use bamboo. Over engineering to make a more complex product that creates more pollution and wastes more material in the name of saving resources.

@Rainmaker1973 Hexagonal honeycomb structure. Minimal material. Maximum efficiency. Sustainable. Beautiful. This is what good design looks like: solving problems by using less, not extracting more. I wish I worked for whoever designed this pencil instead of PES. #DiaryOfMaxKowalski

The 'Hollow Pencil' is a sustainable concept designed to reduce wood waste by over 80-85% by using a hexagonal honeycomb paper structure instead of traditional solid wood, often featuring six hollow segments surrounding the graphite lead.

@SMcB411 @LotteSchwert @archeohistories Without white colonialism europe would seem like atlantis to the sureounding hut dwellers. It would be asia and europe in flying cars visiting planets to vacation on and a bunch of people running around with sticks. They wasted so much resources on ungeateful peoples.

@LotteSchwert @archeohistories ....for the white people that come to rule those countries...not the actual citizens....history has proven that a thousand times over.

Around 1900s, a striking photograph was taken in Bengal, British India, showing a Sikkimese (Bhutia) woman carrying a European man in a large wicker basket strapped to her back... The image offers a rare glimpse into the interactions between Europeans and local populations during the colonial era. According to photo sources, the image was taken in the hilly regions of West Bengal, British-India (likely Sikkim or nearby Himalayan foothills area). The woman is a local Bhutia porter wearing traditional patterned attire and going barefoot, which was typical for hill people skilled at navigating steep, rugged mountain paths where roads, vehicles, or standard palanquins weren’t practical. The man is a French (some source said Greek) merchant associated with Ralli Brothers, a Greek-owned jute trading company based in Manchester with operations in Calcutta). He’s dressed in period Western clothing: a suit, dress shoes, and a boater (straw) hat, with a mustache. Local porters (often called “coolies” or using “doko”-style or similar burden baskets) in the Himalayan foothills and Northeast hill regions were renowned for extraordinary strength. They routinely carried heavy loads—goods, people, or supplies—using forehead straps and back baskets over difficult terrain. This photo appears to capture a demonstration of that strength or a lighthearted/touristy moment rather than routine forced labor (baskets were mainly for goods, not passengers). Similar scenes exist from the era in places like Darjeeling, Sikkim, or Assam hills. In recent years, this photo went viral on social media tittled as 'The Face of Colonialism in India' as "A Sikkimese woman carrying a British man on her back, West Bengal, India, circa 1900 or A Bengali woman carrying her British ‘master’ during British colonial rule in 1903 India.", in others there’s even a claim of the man being an officer. This photo gets quite a bit of attention whenever it is shared, at first sight it appears to be a typical example of colonialist oppression; a poor native woman being forced to carry her British master. During this time, the British Empire had a significant presence in India, with regions like West Bengal attracting many Westerners. These travelers often interacted with locals, resulting in photographs that contrasted Western and indigenous ways of life. According to John Kelly PHD, the photo does not show a British coloniser forcing a Bengali woman to carry him at all, but that what we see is actually a local woman willingly demonstrating her strength to a French colonial administrator of French Indochina called François Pierre Rodier during his visit to Myanmar (Burma) after he had mentioned how impressed he was by her being able to carry such heavy loads. However, the story of this being a typical depiction of colonial oppression of women being forced to carry their masters is unfounded in this case, as she is not carrying her British or French master. There is no evidence that she is being forced or coerced to carry the man but there is also no proof that she is doing this voluntarily or as part of an innocent demonstration. The carriers from that region were indeed known for their strength and ability to carry heavy loads, these baskets meant to carry heavy loads and sometimes or rarely used to transport humans whenever the ground conditions due to weather not suitable for journey. But this photograph still debatable among the scholars and researchers. In the end, this photo highlights the unusual representation, complexities and contradictions of colonial relationships. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@zimmjock1 @archeohistories Pretty impressive for 8men to organize and provide the expertise and materials to that many hands. Crazy to think only companies and their owners are often creited for the work of the employees. Lol.

@archeohistories I believe it’s last 10 miles of the Pacific Railroad were laid in one hour and only eight men are given credit and named although truly it was an army of 12,000 Chinese. I believe I think there’s a project but I don’t think any other names or writings wherever recorded

@Horasus @archeohistories Just a heads up this photo was taken because they were inpressed with the womans strength and she wanted to prove her strength.

@archeohistories Exactly like movies today: thanks to feminism, women are the unstoppable badasses fighting, cursing, drinking, and doing everything—while men are weak, clueless sidekicks who just whimper and look pretty. Progress! ♀️🦵💪✊🙆🤸

@Hari_Vachan @archeohistories Not british. Not forced. Why is it people from backwards slow to develop cultures always think everything was forced upon their ancestors?

@archeohistories Bloody hell....Where was God when this was being done to our ancestors by the British demons?

@archeohistories Thats very clearly someone veing stabbed in the back and unable to reach the spear. Elbows and feet are all backwards. Unless the position of the gentuals changed from the rear to the front this is most likely not a sex scene but a historical or fantasy fight/action story.

Cave painting, on red ochre, depicting a sex scene - Dated back about 10,000 years - These cave records, painted or engraved on rocky walls, are graphic forms of communication used by prehistoric groups that inhabited the region of the Serra da Capivara National Park, the largest museum open air of Latin America, with about 940 archaeological sites, located in São Raimundo Nonato, southern region of Piauí, Brazil. The oldest representation of cave art in the Serra is 29,000 years old, "that is, when it began in Europe and Africa, it began here as well," says the French-Brazilian archaeologist Niede Guidon, who dedicated his life to researching the Capivara Mountain. © Paulista Institute of Archaeology #archaeohistories

@MerlinLarsonMD1 @archeohistories Exhale nose breathe mouth. Common practice. Also its not hard to open your eyes under water without goggles. you cant always see much but you can and when you are just going one direction its easy enough. Ive swam lakes this way.

@archeohistories There is a problem with this idea. Unless the Assyrians had perfected a valve to prevent expired gases from entering the bag, the diver would not go far. Carbon dioxide would accumulate in the bag and result in asphyxia.

The viral image represents the oldest known depiction of an Assyrian soldier, dating back approximately 3,000 years. It shows a man diving underwater using a bag made from goat skin, which allowed him to both float and breathe while submerged. This remarkable scene highlights that diving techniques were already practiced thousands of years ago, long before modern scuba technology was developed. This depiction comes from a clay tablet dating to 9th Century BC, preserved today in the British Museum. It reveals the ingenuity of the Assyrians, one of the most powerful civilizations in ancient history, who employed clever survival strategies to gain military advantages. The use of the inflatable goat-skin bag enabled soldiers to cross rivers underwater stealthily, avoiding detection by enemies while maintaining a supply of air and buoyancy — functioning much like an early form of a life preserver. The Assyrians’ success in expanding and defending their empire was due in large part to their technological and strategic innovations, such as this diving technique. This ancient image, credited to Ingvar Svanberg, Isak Lidström, Folk Life Journal, and Jolene Creighton, is a testament to their resourcefulness and advanced understanding of practical warfare tactics in the ancient world. #archaeohistories

@TheGhostOfHope @videotech Procedural glass breaking is old technology.

@videotech These guys are pulling miracles off by getting this game to 30 fps with shit like this 😭😭😭

GTAVI could feature a procedural breakable glass system for vehicles and props according to a Rockstar developer on LinkedIn Basically when glass shatters it won't have a pre-baked animation like GTAV and is generated in realtime (Image via @Urban_GTA_6)

@videotech @Urban_GTA_6 They are catching up to early 2010

@rohanpaul_ai They said the same thing about computers when he was just starting to get into them.

Steve Wozniak reportedly says AI keeps disappointing him, and that is why he barely uses it. Wozniak is also pointing at something deeper: human value is not just accuracy, since people bring judgment, tone, emotional context, and a sense of what matters. So when AI feels “too perfect” and “too dry,” the problem is not style alone, but a gap between language generation and human understanding. --- techspot. com/news/111806-steve-wozniak-disappointed-lot-ai-rarely-uses.html

@Geniustechw dont come back.

🚨This guy's "fleeing the US" in his car because he can't handle Trump's America What's YOUR message to him?

@LilyRoslynWest Execution is the only proper course of action for terrorism. This was terrorism.

He wanted to kill Americans in NYC. He should get life imprisonment....No Parole.

@Aku_700 @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani Hey in his eyes if women are not allowed to walk in the streets alone or if we make it legal for them to be attacked for violating shariah law that means the streets are not dangerous for women anymore.

@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani

New Year, New Mayor.

@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani Terrorist supporting scum.

@ElonUp98730 @Bubblebathgirl @NYCMayor he's just upset the terrorists he caused messed up their attack.

@Bubblebathgirl @NYCMayor Yes, he was saying the First Amendment rights caused my side to act like this, and we need to do something about it. Pay attention!

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are. I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day. My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.

@UniswapVillain @NYCMayor Islam is a religion of violence, and bigotry.

@NYCMayor so many bigot non new yorkers commenting. Stay in your own lane.

@NYCMayor so peacefully organizing a legal protest that is in no way bigoted or racist but is directly protesting racist bigotry of radical islam, is an affront. But a terrorist attacking people with a bomb is not an afront. Seems like Zohan supports terrorism. BTW zohan libel is illegal

@FoxFier3 @DahmnSon1 @realMAG1775 @BrianMcGinnisNC Yup, zero records of his service.

@DahmnSon1 @realMAG1775 @BrianMcGinnisNC They're not independent sources, they all trace to his campaign. I know, because I ran into all those same sources trying to find out what rank he was when discharged.

EXPOSED: This clown @BrianMcGinnisNC is a discharged Marine veteran turned Green Party candidate for US Senate in North Carolina a firefighter dad who dresses in uniform to protest against fighting Iran for Israel, screaming “We do not want to die for Israel” and “Free Palestine” while claiming Capitol Police broke his arm dragging him out of a Senate hearing. He’s the same POS who went viral for the anti-Israel tantrum, now milking the “injured vet” card for clout. Real Marines don’t wear the uniform to push Green Party woke garbage or defend terror sponsors. This is stolen valor mixed with Islamist sympathy and leftist activism. Court-martial the fraud if he’s still claiming active status, or at minimum strip the uniform from his protest circus. Patriots don’t tolerate posers who dishonor the Corps. Lock in, warriors expose these fake-ass traitors every single time! God Bless the USA!

@DahmnSon1 @realMAG1775 @BrianMcGinnisNC Ive found no records that do not use his website as a source. The only Brian mcginnis marine I can find with his years of service is dead. thefallen.militarytimes.com/marine-sgt-bri…

Stop dishonoring a combat veteran. Stop using “discharged” when you know damn well he was honorably discharged. Whether you like him or not, he served in Iraq. Brian McGinnis, the individual referenced on the campaign website (brianmcginnis4ussenatenc.org), received an honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps (USMC). He served one enlistment as a Light Armored Vehicle Crewman (an infantry MOS) from June 2000 until June 2004. He attended John Wood Community College in Quincy, IL and earned an associate’s degree in education from 2004 to 2006. He was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and was on the All-Marine boxing team. This is corroborated across multiple independent sources, including Ballotpedia.
