In reddit, I’d discovered that some people would karma-farm that way…

Annoying-as-hell, when the deletion of a post doesn’t delete the karma-farmer’s accured-from-that points, in my eyes: it distorts things in favor of the machiavellians…

No idea how these instances deal-with that kind of thing…

Perhaps you’ve seen billionaires state that everybody with less wealth is usually clawing-for-benefits, but only among their own kind can they truly have friends.

that is, once one takes the principle & re-locates it properly, to any specific & significant kind of privilege 1 of the defining features of class-systems & caste-systems.

Class-segregation.

The prejudice I’ve been subjected-to by middle-class people, after becoming a homeless-person, is spectacular.

Class-prejudice is spectacular.

This isn’t an institutional-reorientation exercise, this is survival, against a psychopathic sadist & machiavellian, with an army.

grrrr…

Yeah, but why, is actually a really important question, in this case:

Is it because it harms the immune-system who is wrongly corroding the bone-tissue?

Is it because it damages the nerves, so they aren’t reporting pain when one is grinding the joint the same way one did?

Is it magically restoring bone-tissue?

“Why” MATTERS, in this case!

I think you are mistaken:

I think the real reason for the Putin-Trump meeting in Orban’s territory, is so that they can side with each-other, against the world, together.

Not to setup the entire deal, but to put-in-place the foundation for that Putin-Trump alliance, to destroy NATO.

There will have to be more developments, before they can make that strong-enough to openly display, but the foundation is what I believe they’re going to be putting in-place, this time.

Remember the Kremlin Papers…

um, you REALLY might want to have 4, not 1, for redundancy, given how Russia’s going to be waging WAR against the EU as soon as Trump guts NATO, you know?

Forgot this stuff, sorry:

Aviation:

• you need ALL of Mike Busch’s books!
• Barnaby Wainfan, at Kitplanes: read ALL of his stuff. I disagree with some points of his ( & consider his faceted lifting-body aircraft to have been needlessly unsmooth: I like Mike Arnold’s ultra-low-drag paradigm! ), but he gives you sooo much understanding, that you simply aren’t competent in this domain if you aren’t understanding the stuff he’s giving.
• S-Glass is nearly as stiff as carbon, but MUCH tougher: consider it for your wings.
• E-Glass is radar-transparent, the other composites generally aren’t: make any radome of it.
• Turbine-engines cost about 10x as much as piston-engines, to buy, but maintenance-intervals can be MUCH greater, which is why commercial operations like them.
• All aircraft NEED redundant angle-of-attack indicators: fly that indicator, & you’re safe: nearly-all the final-approach-crashes due to stall would have been prevented with AoA-indicators on the flightdeck. ( the McDonnell Douglas 737Max fiasco is because McDonnell Douglas, now falsely-labeled as “Boeing”, they did a reverse-takeover from the inside, after the merger, allowed only 1 AoA-sensor on the airframe, & if that reading went wrong, the avionics highjack the aircraft from the pilots. People died. IN AVIATION, REDUNDANCY SAVES LIVES, for critical-avionics! )

Boats:

• there is the Kelvin Wake Angle that you need to understand: it is the angle from the longitudinal-centerline of your boat, out at an angle, along-which your wake’s peak lies. It is 19.5-ish degrees ( 19.47, iirc ). For multihulls, you NEED to make-certain that that angle doesn’t go from the bow of 1 hull to touch or get too-close to any other hull: it NEEDS to have space, xor you’re creating needless drag. Also, for slenderness, you need to be able to create that angle from your bow, & NOT have your bow’s bluntness violate that angle.
• the LWL:BWL ratios ( Length or Beam, WL means WaterLine ) of interest for multihulls are between 8:1 & 12:1. Going longer than that, as Gerr pointed-out, gives you too-much skin-drag. People who’ve studied aircraft-design know that you want the skin-drag to equal the other kinds of drag, because that’s your minimum-drag. Making a hull 18:1 means you’ve got less bluff-drag, but you’ve got waaay-more skin-drag, so you’re losing, in the displacement regime. Hydroplaning boats are different. Wave-piercing speedboats are different. The multihull designers generally target 9:1 because it really is an optimum LWL:BWL.
• Silicone-Silane is the ONLY anti-fouling that people ought be considering, nowadays ( “Silic One” is 1 brand of that kind of stuff ). NOTHING else works as well, or is as slippery for reducing drag.
• After you’ve earned you real-competence, & now you want to instantiate a business, you’re going to need ABYC membership, & if you’re wanting to sell into the EU, you’re going to need the ISO/DIN standards, which will cost you … about $30k, so you can make your designs compliant with their regulations. They intentionally constructed their standards to enforce as much buying-of-other-components-of-their-standards as possible. To me that is anti-economic-flourishing: putting needless barrier-to-entry, but they’re the ruling institution, so they get to make their economy obey their authority.
• The 1st implimentation of a boat, that vessel’s name, becomes the model’s name, so if you want to control your boat-names, then you can’t have your customers deciding on the name of the 1st implimentation of a design, can you?
• NOLO press makes books on intellectual-property, including Patent It Yourself, which includes a section on getting EU patent protection. Give yourself perhaps a year to get through that book: it’s technical stuff, and there is one hell of alot of stuff to know, in patent-applications, in order to not need to hire ( for $10k+ ) a patent-lawyer for your single application. EU patents are covered in a section of that book, but EU patents cost WAAAY more than North American patents, per point-of-application, or search, etc.
• look at the designs of Cape Falcon Kayaks: they’re elegant in ways that nearly-no boat-designers would do.
• look at the designs of Dave Gerr, if his site is still up, & see how solidly good his work is, compared with normal
• BoatDesign.net is the primary place for boat-design discussion, though … I think it was called “sailing anarchy” was a competitor to it, don’t know if they still exist ( don’t know if either still exists, actually )
• you need to study & understand composites, if you’re doing that, & I’d recommend studying some of the stuff from the aircraft-domain, too ( I got Niu’s composite-airframes textbook ), so you get much-better-than-DIY-“information” about what’s proper. 2" radius minimum for composite-carbon, & that may be pushing it, & you CAN’T mix reinforcement-fibers & get the benefits-of-both: you get the disadvantages of both, not the benefits… this one’s important & non-obvious, so I’m breaking it out into a discussion, not just this little list-point…

Say one has reinforcement-fabric with graphite fiber going east-west & kevlar going north-south.

Then the next layer is with the graphite going north-south & the kevlar going east-west.

Now vacuum-infuse it, so resin spreads forces between all the fibers…

What happens when the temperature rises, in hot sun?

The kevlar SHRINKS. Kevlar has a NEGATIVE Coefficient-of-Thermal-Expansion ( CTE ), but graphite’s is close to zero, & epoxy’s is positive…

So, now your layup is stressing, because some fibers are shrinking, & others are not, & the matrix is expanding.

Worse, when you try flexing it, kevlar isn’t stiff, so NO flexing-force is going onto those fibers, ALL of the flexing-force is going onto the graphite.

But did you calculate your layup so the graphite fibers would be able to take all the flexing that your piece needs to bear?

If not, now it’ll break.

In composites, the stiffest fibers resisting flexing, are taking ALL of the stress of that flexing, until they break, then the next-stiffest are taking all the load.

Mixed reinforcement-fibers is IDIOCY, but you can buy many brands of differently colored aramid+carbon reinforcement-fabric, from many vendors.

It is Niu’s composite-airframes textbook that caused me to know that, & the industry is pushing snake-oil bling, instead.

The only 2 cases where mixed-reinforcement-fibers makes sense, are

1. entirely-cosmetic pieces, which bear no structural load, &
2. pieces where you’re orienting all the stiffest fibers in 1 particular direction for stiffness in that direction, & you want flex in the other direction, so you use e-glass or something in the bendy-required direction.

Oh, & graphite-fiber’s just thinner, stiffer carbon, generally. Processed at a higher temperature.

There: hopefully I’ve given you enough so that you can compete against me better, in the future.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

IF that link is about fecal-transplant, to put a healthy biome into people,

THEN just taking a good pro-biotic, instead, puts a good microbiome into one ( cures diahrea in 2-ish hours ), if one takes it with a probiotic-supporting meal ( like one’s favorite diverse meal, including each of the kinds of food one eats, some starches, some proteins, etc… ), seems FAR saner, in my eyes.

The whole “you need a fecal-transplant procedure” thing is a scam, in my eyes, because pro-biotics provably work, after one’s gut has gotten borked ( by food-poisoning, by antibiotics, by whatever ), & it works in mere hours.

Repeatedly good pro-biotics have un-wrecked my gut, after things like food-poisoning ( & I’m a guy who’s racked-up 7+ years of outright-homelessness, so food-preservation isn’t always possible ).

Dad had been a medical-researcher: he taught me to think.

Getting the right diversity of microbes ( you need both Lactobacillus & Bifido strains, multiple of each ) in one’s gut doesn’t, in any way whatsoever, require any clinical-procedure.

It requires a good bottle of pro-biotics, of a good, trustworthy brand.

Doing the experiment is something that people can do on their own.

Understanding that you need more conductor-cross-section to carry more current’s sooo fundamental to me, that that itself is a problem, obviously…

I’d presumed that telling people to go search for AWG that can carry whatever-current, would be enough…

The 14AWG point, though, should do for apartment-dwellers & normal home-owners.

( seriously, if you’re doing some kind of mega-installation, & you’re putting 20A circuits in, specifically for your amps, then you’d better be able to calculate Ohm’s law, for your speakers, & work-out what currents are required for them )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_school_of_economics#Fundamental_tenets

The only-the-individual-is-real, collectives/groups do not either think or act, as agents, is spectacularly rejecting evidence.

The psycologist/psychoanalyst/whatever to dug into the question “are we individuals, or are we groups”, to crack group-therapy, discovered that both is the ONLY valid-answer.

In Marganalism, they’re essentially re-discovering that principle identified by the root-guru of the Christians, that if a person only owns 1 shekel, & they give that, that is IMMENSE giving, compared with some wealthy person giving what they didn’t care about, no matter how much that was, compared with the median-income.

shudder seems divorced-from-reality, the more I read about it…

There are 2 books which combined give the understanding that “economics” education seems to … ignore?

Thom Hartmann’s book “Screwed” identified, in its beginning, what was wrong with all the other economics stuff I’d read, simply & clearly.

& the book “Who Gets What, and Why” is on how markets work, & what their requirements are, which really gives a better understanding of what Hartmann was pointing-out, that the normal economics … consistently misframes.

A fundamental point is that among nature democracy is normal ( animals ).

Not representative-republic, but democracy.

Among post-agriculture humans, however, feudalism, whether monarchy-anchored, or oligarchy-anchored, or corporate-feudalism, is normal.

Why?

Human-nature. ( the dark end of it )

Force-dismantling that dark nature’s mechanisms-of-ruling … that’s going to take SPINE, if any portion of humankind finds the courage to do it…

Force-emplacing evidence-based fixes, no matter what machiavellianism does … would be beneficial, for the people in that regime…

but it would take spine.

Anyways, until now I’d only known about their Marganalism principle, but now I know they’ve anchored on a whole-set of bogus, contradicted-by-evidence, principles, & … I don’t respect that kind of thing.

Thank you for prodding me into reading a bit more about 'em, though: actual-learning’s necessary…

LMAO … I just realized that they held that collective-action isn’t real, WHILE CORPORATIONS EXACTLY ARE COLLECTIVE-ACTION.

That’s about as ivory-tower divorced-from-actuality as anybody could possibly get, isn’t it?

I apologize for not explaining why I was investing-in putting all that there, for the person I was replying-to:

They were focused on the religion of the 1st-century followers of benJoseph.

Why focus on those followers, when the religion of benJoseph himself is ignored by all of Christianity?

Why not see the religion of benJoseph himself?

That is what my motivation was.

Thinks like Donald Spoto’s book “The Hidden Jesus: A New Life” identifying how central meditation was to benJoseph, & the Essenes being the only Jews around who had a “The Book of Meditation” ( mentioned repeatedly in the Dead Sea Scrolls stuff, but after benJoseph got back from the East, … they systematically didn’t include it in the scrolls they tried saving for future-generations. Probably simply because he’d obsoleted the whole book/scroll, when he returned. )

whatever.

IF someone prefers the followers’ religion to the root-guru’s religion, that’s entirely valid: it’s their choice.

But for mainstream stuff to systematically keep people in the dark about that root-guru, that I’ve got problem with.

As Elisabeth Haich explained, back then, people enacted symbols, so the “5000 fed, but lots of leftovers remained” symbolized that the teachings given them didn’t all get in, see?

&, of course, “baptism” is simply a symbol-enactment representing that ChildrenOfG-D/souls immerse themselves in universes, OceansOfAllPhenomena, & when they “come up” from that, they’re “returning home” to G-D.

The “Prodigal Son” parable was the same soul-immersing-itself-in-samsara, but told from a different perspective ( climbing down "Jacob’s Ladder, relying-on the “kingdom of the worldly, without” then turning, when hitting rock-bottom, to “the kingdom of G-D, within”, & climbing “Jacob’s Ladder”, see?

Same fundamental-meaning, just different appearances on it. )

See through the appearances!

See the universal, that the traditions are hiding-so-as-to-protect-their-importance.

The universal is what continuums/souls are.

The whole Abrahamic-religion presumption that G-D discards all of its children who aren’t within that religion-regime, Gospel of Mary torpedoes that: when the soul says to ignosis/soul-ignorance “you never knew me”, that’s the ultimate-truth: ALL souls return home, to their origin.

Religions which claim otherwise, … they’re rejecting the infiniteness of G-D.

Let 'em.

But don’t be fooled by 'em, see?

Anyways, that’s the motivation: anchor to the root, not to the branch, & get a more-universal view.

If you want…

Here’s another: the hot-rod/car-racing field is CRAMMED with snake-oil, & the best information is sooo shoddily converted into book-form, that is nearly useless.

David Vizard’s books, & the related books on the domain, are important-to-study, but DEAR G-D is there a RIPE market for anybody who wants to convert all that shit-publishing into quality publishing…

That’s a contributing-factor to why the entire internal-combustion-engine aftermarket is mostly snake-oil bullshit, unfortunately.

I bet the entire internal-combustion-engine industry could have made their engines 10% more efficient, average, had they studied what the inventors/racers had published, & used that information competently…

sigh

the same is true for the general-aviation industry, as a whole.

Notice that the 2 absolute innovators in these 2 domains, were Smokey Yunick & Burt Rutan: anarchists who did more research-engineering than … pretty-much the entire rest of the industry.

IF you want to become competent in sailboat-design, THEN you NEED:

• “The Principles of Yacht Design”, get the most-recent edition of it.
• ALL of Dave Gerr’s books.
• Fossatti’s Aero-Hydrodynamics of Sailing, or whatever that book is called
• probably Nigel Calder’s books, to understand what makes a lifelong sailor value a design-decision
• Tom Cunliffe’s books, to understand the difference between excellent captaining vs “good enough”, & the implications of that, on the design
• a book on windvanes, if you intend to impliment one, on your design ( for cruisers )
• “The Rigger’s Apprentice”, by Brion Toss
• “The Sailmaker’s Apprentice” or something like that, can’t remember, right now…
• the North Sails book on sails/sail-design/sailmaking
• look up the Sharrow propeller, on yt, for power-boats ( annular-box-wing prop, for outboards: no cavitation! )
• Harry Riblett’s book on General Aviation airfoils, available at the Experimental Aviation Association, if you are going to do ANYthing interesting with hydrofoiling ( he nailed the ATR-72 icing problem last-century, & that airfoil’s problem killed an airliner in 2024, with NASA still not admitting the truth about that foil )
• Julia, the programming-language, for doing your math: better than spreadsheets, can use real math symbols, & you aren’t touching any part of the code that you aren’t working-on ( in a spreadsheet, a stray typo can distort the entire sheet, & you can’t find what it is that is skewing everything unless you’re seeing the whole sheet’s equations: it’s the wrong paradigm: error-accumulation, instead of error-eradication. Julia has a learning-track on Exercism, & has a few good books. )

Getting that set of knowledge into one, will save you thousands of wasted dollars, chasing “wild geese”.

For aircraft-design, I’d say begin with Snorri Gudmundsson’s book, NOT Raymer’s.

( Raymer is careless, & you will save yourself much frustration if you avoid his books. Snorri’s is on its 2nd edition, so I’m presuming it to be the go-to book for the industry, nowadays: I can’t afford it, & may not ever, but I wish I’d got Gudmundsson’s book, instead of Raymers, now )

You’ll need Harry Riblett’s book on airfoils, as mentioned above. https://www.kitplanes.com/the-airfoil-adventures-of-harry-riblett/ Notice that the Bearhawk has his foil on it, and its reputation is awesome.

You’ll need this video-playlist, in order to understand just how AWEFUL the interference-drag is, on normal designs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZhyjYE4Le0&list=PLO-XZZWFTH5ELMG3CECqMPZoEFREgwkPn

( I think it was 67HP & 250mph, in level flight, for one of Mike Arnold’s birds. )

Once these things by Mike Arnold & Harry Riblett sink-in, then the normal designs you see in general-aviation … become unconscionable: all that wasted-opportunity, all the needless drag-inefficiency.

Harry Riblett was using Eppler’s simple software, simple simulations, & nowadays you’d HAVE TO use OpenFOAM to do your simulations, XFoil mis-represents stall-onset, apparently, & XFoil is vastly better than what Riblett was using, years ago.

You NEED to understand both Bernoulli’s principle & the Reynolds number, in aircraft-design.

There are sites with video-training for OpenFOAM: CFD/Computational-Fluid-Dynamics’s complicated, & I’d recommend that.

It is entirely possible to design an aircraft, nowadays, on your own, using X-Plane, OpenFOAM, & the choicest study-materials, & YEARS of thinking on it, until your own unconscious-mind groks that-specific-component in the problem, then get digging on the next one…

Further, IF you take into consideration what Riblett & Arnold gave us, THEN you can do better than what most of the new designs in general-aviation are doing.

There is a video, which I now can’t find, on changing Burt Rutan’s Vari-EZ or Long-EZ aircraft to have blended canards, & it noticeably reduced the drag.

That is exactly the sort of thing that Mike Arnold instinctively understood, & if you begin with that kind of instinct, then you … don’t waste the opportunity that the normal aircraft-designers are enforcing.

You need to consider Prandtl wings, too, as that’s beginning to become significant in modern designs.

All the stuff I’ve realized in both these domains is affects patentability, & therefore I’ll not give you that: I want to be able to create a not-for-profit keiretsu which makes both sailboats & aircraft ( a keiretsu is like Panasonic: an organism made of companies, not a single-company ), someday, & patent-protection’s required to break the for-profit monopoly in both industries.

Sorry I’m not just giving you a bunch of answers, instead pointing you at competent-learning-means…

but the world really is better when you learn your-own way, & others learn their-own way, & the results are more … exploring-evolution’s-potential.

Both of these domains will take you under a decade to get from beginning-learning to where you’re really knowing-what-you’re-doing enough to become able to begin competently inventing.

Don’t expect to get to that stage in less than 7y, though.

It took me 8, before everything suddenly fell-into-place, & the different fluid-dynamics-interactions fit together, for different kinds of design, etc…

But I’d rather the world have other-people doing it, … than me knowing, but not doing it, & others thinking that university-courses is the only valid way.

LibreTexts.org iirc is also a place with some good information on it, in the aircraft-design space…

Whatever: IF anybody cares to earn competence in either domain, THEN I hope this boosts you into it, more efficiently.

If not, then just ignore this.
