@DoctorLemma That’s what firefighters do: they save life. All life. Any life. Bless him. Bless them all!

A Romanian firefighter once gave mouth-to-mouth to a dog on the pavement outside a burning apartment block. The dog wasn’t breathing. He’d dragged it out of the fire, set it down, knelt over it, and started chest compressions. When a colleague brought an oxygen mask he switched to that. The dog lived. The firefighter, Costache Mugurel, wrote one line about it on Facebook afterwards. “Nobody gets left behind.” Canine CPR is a recognised veterinary technique, with much the same compression rhythm as the human version.

What would be the first thing you would tell him?

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear. It migrated inward. Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space. That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons. So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public. The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it. The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open. The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility. That is the trade. A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation. This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question. The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults. It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation. The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

@_The_Prophet__ So well said. There is wisdom in your words.

@BrianRoemmele Another problem with drones I’d that they’re noisy as hell. If you think city noise is bad now, wait till there’s thousands of these damn things buzzing around 24-hours a day!

It’s happening…

True

@historyinmemes Please. It’s not a “classic trick” or any other kind of “trick”. It’s an unfortunate circumstance that there was no alternate angle or take for them to edit around it.

The cameraman cleaning the lens mid-shot is a classic filmmaking trick—and James Cameron still incorporates it into his movies today.

@ClownWorld Yeah, the city won’t allow it. We used to call Santa Monica “The People’s Republic of Santa Monica”.

Here’s Santa Monica in 2026. This guy installed razor sharp anti-climb spikes on the wall after the house got robbed. He’s out here recording and pointing at his own work like this is normal now. Nice neighborhoods turning into fortresses because crime is so bad people have to do this just to feel safe. Instead of fixing the actual problem, regular homeowners are forced to turn their places into mini prisons. Real question though: is this even legal? If some tweaker tries to climb it, cuts himself up bad and sues… who wins? The criminal or the guy just trying to protect the property?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ It’s an evaporative cooler, otherwise known as a “swamp cooler”. It’s a high quality one with pleated, paper filters like your car. They work great in dry climates, although they don’t cool quite as much as A/C.

This man is in Phoenix, Arizona visiting his daughter. It is 108* there!🥵 He noticed this unit on top of her house and wondered why it isn’t on the ground like most houses. He asked her and she said that was the way it was when they bought the house. Why would this be on top of the roof? I’ve lived in 5 different states and never seen them on the roof. And notice how big it is, it’s huge! Why would they be on the roof? What’s the reasoning? And 108*? Are people really digging a 108* weather? Could you handle that?

@Rainmaker1973 Bill Gates is a monster. He shouldn’t be allowed around computers let alone the public health.

A Bill Gates funded mosquito factory in Medellín, Colombia, produces 40 million mosquitoes weekly for release via drones and bikes. These insects carry a natural bacterium that prevents them from transmitting viruses to humans. By mating with wild populations, they spread this trait. The Medellín factory has produced around 30–40 million Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes per week (figures cited in reports from 2022–2025). The mosquitoes are infected with Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacterium (not genetically modified in the GMO sense). Wolbachia blocks the mosquitoes from transmitting viruses like dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Mosquitoes are released on foot, by bicycle/motorcycle, and in some areas using drones for hard-to-reach locations.

@vortexEire @TrumpTruthOnX @grok You’re doing that yourself with this post.

@TrumpTruthOnX @grok Just shows how weak trump is. Can't even handle a conversation without getting emotional and irrational. This man should not have the nuclear codes.

.@grok Are you able to tell us what the man in the white cap said that caused President Trump to abruptly grab his cap and leave the conversation?

@niccruzpatane More like RoboBus. A 20 passenger vehicle is not a family vehicle. Would be good for an airport or neighborhood shuttle service.

The Tesla Robovan will be ultimate vehicle for families. Yes, Tesla is actually going to make it. • Fully Autonomous with no steering wheel or pedals • Modular Seating Configurations • Up to 20 Passengers • Sliding Doors • Two TV-like Screens • Air Suspension Imagine bringing your entire family for a ride in one of these. It would be a blast.

@Rainmaker1973 “I am NOMAD. You are The Kirk, the creator…”

There's a flying security camera called Ring Always Home Cam. The drone patrols the premises when everyone leaves, periodically returning to the base to recharge.

@Rainmaker1973 A work of art. Literally, a functional sculpture. Amazing!

This guy spent 14 hours assembling the shield. [📹electric_70]

@swampfox46 @knowmep @MatrixMysteries You ought to know…

@thimsmot @knowmep @MatrixMysteries I hear Walgreens is having a sale on Midol.

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

@swampfox46 @knowmep @MatrixMysteries And you demonstrate it the most. You’re a narrow minded, arrogant prick that thinks he knows everything about everything. But you sure as hell do not. And it shows.

@thimsmot @knowmep @MatrixMysteries It does show there is a lot of ignorance.

@Rainmaker1973 I can’t fathom how sharp that blade must be…

No gas, no noise, just pure efficiency. This man and his scythe are unstoppable.

@swampfox46 @knowmep @MatrixMysteries That’s, great. It shows that it can be done. But it doesn’t mean that the issue doesn’t exist, or that it isn’t worthy of concern. Maybe your facility can stand as a shining example of how to design and build a data center that doesn’t emit harmful amounts of noise pollution.

@thimsmot @knowmep @MatrixMysteries And I am telling you, I work at a data center and have had multiple people bring equipment to measure that...and every single time, they go away disappointed that they did not find the issue here.

I’m not talking about audible frequencies generated by the equipment inside the server rooms. I’m talking about infrasound, probably generated by cooling systems and power generation equipment outside. There’s plenty of credible research efforts regarding infrasound. The DOD, U.S. Navy, and a number of universities have done research on it and its effects. The proliferation of huge data centers in recent years has brought them under scrutiny as a potential source.

@thimsmot @knowmep @MatrixMysteries The ignorant one here, would be you. There are a myriad of designs out there, and, no, there is no measurable server related sounds that escape our buildings. 3 or 4 times a year, someone like you shows up with equipment to "prove" your statements, they leave disappointed.

The infrasound produced by these large data centers is proven fact. It can be recorded with the right equipment, and is being researched and studied. If you work at a data center, then you know how noisy they are. If you think that sound cannot extend beyond the range of human (and probably goose) hearing, then you’re just demonstrating your ignorance.

@knowmep @thimsmot @MatrixMysteries That's why there are a couple hundred snow geese at the data center I work at......the non-existant vibrations have driven them away
