My knives are used by outdoorsmen, trappers, and meat processors worldwide, getting lots of repeat orders. Carbon steel plus a very acute hollow grind, extremely different production process and design theory from 99% of available knives, prioritizes cutting and skinning.

Acknowledging @Empty_America for its knife. Thin sharpening made easy and works great

Interesting list of "remote small towns" in the sense of places large enough to have a post office and likely a school, but with very little population in the immediate vicinity in any direction.
VB Knives@Empty_America

This is a very partial list of locations in the lower 48 that stand out as being little points of light in a generally dark area on light pollution maps. Good measure of remoteness, but large enough to have a post office and some residents Monterey Virginia Tamarack Penn Raquette Lake NY Rockwood Maine Allagash Maine Waskish Minn Grand Marias MI Bethel OK Alton Missouri Marshall Arkansas Oden Arkansas Mullen Nebraska Guthrie Texas Terlingua Texas Reserve NM Antelope Wells NM Mosquero NM Elk City Idaho Owyhee NV Austin NV Hanksville UT Jordan MT Ekalaka MT Bison SD lightpollutionmap.info

As a matter of fact, one of the very longest off trail type overland traverses in NYS is from St. Regis Falls, down towards Childwold on Rt. 3. A full 26 miles 100% no encounter with pavement, likely not a single inhabited home. Legit dangerous, extreme terrain of bog and multiple serious river crossings you cannot wade. I'm not sure *anyone* has ever done this exact trip by holding that GPS or compass bearing.

The most remote inhabited community in New York (and one of the more remote in lower 48) is Beaver River in Herkimer County, which has no road access at all. The most remote and desolate one I have been to by road is Standish, in Clinton County.

@martianwyrdlord Just bought the paperback, I know nothing about this author but the premise sounded very cool.

Isaac Young's latest is a banger. The memoirs of a cosmic war criminal, the last human in existence, living in a far future in which humanity has been replaced by the genetically engineered species they raised to from animals. Young takes a narrative risk here by letting the reader know at the very beginning of the story that the hero will be wildly successful. He will rise from his origin as the slave of a lowly insect race to become the emperor of the Galaxy; he will endure horror and atrocity at the hands of the alien, and this will fuel the terrible will of his crusade against them. I'll post the link to my full review in the comments, but honestly you should just go to Amazon and pick this up.

Priest-friend got a call this week from an elderly parishioner asking if he had any need for the old high altar that's been sitting in his garage for the last 50+ years. The idea of an entire generation of viejitas quietly saving these things for a future generation of priests is kind of wild. It'll be reinstalled in the parish within the next six months.

@youngwerther123 I'm always interested to go anywhere. You can always see different buildings, kinds of trees, landscapes. Just have to get off of the interstate and make the slightest effort.

"Centripetal Urbanization." Be aware of this concept.
Hatenabito⊿ ۞@JordanGuatqui

@Empty_America I suspect the trend for the remainder of the 21st century will be centripetal urbanization. We’ve pretty much figured out where the best places to have cities are, and everything else is going to end up as nature parks or farms staffed by robots. It’s already been happening.

The US deep state more or less believes it's in a bipolar world with China. The Russian invasion of Ukraine does, in a historiographic sense, mark the end of unipolarity. But instead of multipolarity, Russia's poor performance inaugurated bipolarity.
Jack Prandelli@jackprandelli

🇺🇸The CIA director just drew the line plainly. "We're the largest economy in the world. China is the second largest economy in the world. Russia's economy is about the size of my home state, Texas. Russia has to choose where they are gonna compete. China competes with us across the board." That is the actual reason the US energy weapon thesis targets China specifically. Russia is a military problem with a Texas sized economy. China is the strategic rival with the scale to match. themerchantsnews.substack.com/p/china-has-a-…

@Rollo_Two Unlikely based on IRL example of New Mexico. The 60K or so existing residents were admitted as full citizens and grew by natural increase greatly under US rule, to the point that perhaps 1 million current citizens descend from such. I would expect similar in Sonora, etc.

@Empty_America Sure… I definitely see what you mean. I guess, just for me, looking from a perspective of ensuring American power/White power in the US, it seems like taking it would’ve been the better move. It may have even lowered the birthrates in the parts of Mexico taken.

The Gadsden purchase was a good buy. The total value now of all real estate in the purchase is surely much higher than whatever was paid for it. I guess there weren't really any bad real estate buys in the 1800s, no matter how unfavorable the land looked.

@Rollo_Two Interesting because it's a very different place that is close by, parts of which are still little known to Americans, risky, etc. If we had taken Sonora it would just be another Arizona. Better to have a "zone of exception" right there, some things much more free, etc.

@Empty_America Interesting how? What’s interesting to me is that, they didn’t because they held anxieties about incorporating millions of racially non-White Mexicans into their republic. But it seems like that’s already happened, just without the territory to accompany it.

@Rollo_Two If running America was my job, probably yes. But I'm glad they didn't, more interesting that way.

I think there is at least a 10% chance that things accelerate very fast in the next decade and the wealthy boomers "make it" to the life extension era. They might be needing those houses for quite a while yet!
de león@cincodegato1

Someone needs to do a deep dive into boomer psychology. They all believe it’s 1990 and they are 35 years old. I recently had a boomer tell me they went to a Vegas show and it was “full of old fogeys.” The boomer who told me this is 71 years old. Lmao

My father, who has been consuming New Atheist content since its inception in the 1990s, just admitted to me that consciousness could be part of the underlying fabric of the universe rather than simply a byproduct of cells interacting with one another in a particular way. He’s the kind of person I use to gauge where things are going with a certain segment of the public. Well-educated, credentialed, PhD holder, part of the university system for 30 years. He’s a living embodiment of the “liberal elite” if there ever was one. Vibe shift incoming.
