How the dead are treated, ritual burial vs abandoned, is used as a measure of intelligence and civilization. Healed major wounds such as broken femurs are also used Archeologically to identify civilized vs uncivilized societies.

In BJJ in a gi most submissions of the feet and legs are against the rules until a very high rank. In no gi those submissions of the lower body are permitted for everyone.

What evil things do Satanists actually believe? Here are the 7 tenets copied right from The Satanic Temple site, their equivalent to the 10 Commandments.
I
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
IV
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word
As usual the unknown gets filled with fear, the truth is far less scary.

I wanted to do a little PSA because I have seen a few people slandering a certain group of people on nostr.
Every major "satanic" organization I know of is actually atheists using the image of satan to make a point. The Satanic Temple for example is using the religious aspect of the specter of Satan to remind Christians why separation of church and state is important. They do this by demanding equal representation when christians attempt to practice religion as a part of government business. A statue of Baphomet next to the 10 commandments or a prayer ending in hail satan next to the prayer ending in amen has proven much more effective than reasoning with Christians about the risks of letting religion become a government institution.
So you ask yourself, "if satanists don't believe in a real and literal Satan, what do you call people who do believe in Satan?" We call them Christians.

If you are curious about joining us on #pickstr but don't know where to start to pick your first lock, here is my advice.
I like the Genesis pick set from covert instruments and a couple of master locks to start. The short hook is the pick in that set you should start with.
Avoid clear or cut-away locks because they change the feel and can actually be harder. New locks dedicated to picking are a good idea. They will give better feedback. It is possible to damage a lock so that it can no longer work with the key by picking it, so do not start with a lock you need to use.
Master 1, 3, 5, 7 are great to start and readily available. It doesn't matter which one they all have the same beginner friendly core. Don't be intimidated by the "security rating" master gives their locks, that is purely a physical attack rating and has nothing to do with picking. A master 141 is slightly harder but you could definitely start here if you felt confident. A master 150 is an excellent introduction to security pins, hard enough I would not recommend it as a first lock.
You will get better faster by picking 3 keyed different locks in a round than picking the same lock 3 times. Each lock has quirks so by picking the same master 1 3x you are learning the lock. Picking 3 different master 1s 1x each is better for learning to pick as a generalized skill. Shuffle them too rather than picking in the same order over and over.
By the time you pick a master 150 you'll probably have a good idea if you want to keep going with the hobby.
All in, that pick set and 3x brand new basic master locks can be had for under $75. If you youtubed a basic how to before starting and have typical hand dexterity (meaning still have all your fingers and no disability like Parkinson's) you should be into a master 141 at least once within your first hour of active picking.
There is so much more to it as you advance but I'll stop there for now. That will get you from never held a pick to first lock picked. It also won't set you up to need all new picks to pick the next difficulty of locks like a cheaper Amazon pick set might.

I'm wondering if you are a kid now. I'm clearly a teenager but my talking points are 15 years out of date. 4 year olds who have mastered Dawkins soundbites but don't learn anything new before they turn 20 are common after all.
The four horseman days weren't an atheist movement, it was Anti-Theist. The point was to attack religious people with the faults of their religion. I have gone out of my way to avoid running down the litany of biblical instructions that are appalling to modern christians in this thread.
I felt the need to point out one of those bible rules that we ignore because of our culture to make the point we fit our religion to our cultural morals not the other way around. I picked mixed fibers because it was the least offensive example. If you truly were a part of the Anti-Theist movement you know how dark I could have gone there. I have clearly updated my approach.
You can't say no one cares I'm an atheist. People in this thread said that anyone who doesn't believe in god would obviously be guilty of a variety of moral faults. Some of them pretty offensive to me. I joined in here to say "I'm an atheist and I do none of those things you accuse us of." I even made a post on my timeline about being open about your atheism so those strawmen aren't the only atheist people know.
You explicitly said you believe different races have different moral reasoning capabilities and European genes are better at it. That doesn't even require wokeness, that's 100 year old dictionary definition racism. Stating that you believe in facts that you explicitly said you believe in isn't poisoning the well. You were working those same racist talking points at the time so it wasn't even off topic.

Another strawman. You decide that I'm a teenager with no evidence to my age then dismiss my entire position because all teenagers are dumb which also isn't true.
I'm still waiting for my any of my points to be addressed by any of your responses. Lashing out at random traits you assume I have then bashing additional people who have those qualities is all you've done.
Where did I poison the well? Even when you have made clearly racist statements I haven't used them to dismiss every point you made, only that specific statement. When I state a fallacy I don't just yell the name of the fallacy and run away like it was a smoke bomb. I tell you where you made it and how it fits the definition.

Other than pointing out the obvious racism in the phrase "European genetics" I haven't said anything negative about you, only disagreed with your positions. You however feel that I must be an inferior person for holding different beliefs. You attack me not my position repeatedly.

Honor cultures breed violence. We have honor cultures with multiple religions and non honor cultures with multiple religions.

No mixed fibers plain as day and Jesus Christ himself said every law of the old testament stands until the rapture. That is in the bible. Wanna make a bet on what the nearest Christian is wearing?

I found function by function was ideal use of an LLM for my limited programming and skills. If your functions are too big and complicated to get useful output from an LLM in a couple prompts you probably need to split up that function.
You need to plot the functions and how they fit together yourself. You need to test.
As far as I can tell LLMs replace junior developers just fine if you know how to prompt. You now need to be a senior dev pair programmer, tester, product manager, and project manager.
Some developers lack the skills needed for that shift. Some lack the ability to break the frame of their existing workflow and break the frame of the PR that it will just do it for you to see the middle way. Those types are struggling.
I'm not a dev. I used that function by function approach and turned out a couple thousand lines of code in a week. It has run 247365 for a few months now without fault.

No more ahistorical than Jesus mythology.
We have no evidence Christians made it into Norse Territory until hundreds of years after the story of Odin on the tree.
I don't think the mythology of any of those other gods is any more ahistorical than Jesus mythology. Much of Jesus story changed after he was gone also.
Dionysius was born to a god father and mortal mother dismembered and resurrected over 1000 years before Jesus was born.
These story points are good memes so they spread. Nothing magical about any of this, just story points that scratch the itches of the human brain just right. Peter Parker was resurrected after the Thanos snap. A future historian might argue that Spiderman was a more dominant god of our time than Jesus based on his bigger box office score.

Odin's words from Hávamál:
"I know that I hung on a windy tree
nine long nights,
wounded with a spear, dedicated to Odin,
myself to myself,
on that tree of which no man knows
from where its roots run."
That was a self sacrifice in the quest for wisdom. He lost his eye in another bid for more wisdom. His Ravens names translated are Thought and Memory.
With the binding of Fenrir Odin promised Fenrir not to bind him so they could get the bindings on. Fenrir was being bound to attempt to delay Ragnarok. Tyr offered to put his hand in Fenrirs mouth as collateral that Fenrir would not be bound. When Fenrir realizes the deception Tyr loses his hand showing that even gods have to face consequences for breaking their promises.
Moral tales on how valuable greater wisdom is and showing that it requires self sacrifice. Also on the value of honesty and keeping your word. Certainly applicable to life today.

Only the Bible claims to be accurate and timely accounting of Jesus as a historical figure. Other than that we have only "records" created by christians years after his death. To cite the bible is circular reasoning.
You can't cite the bible as proof of Jesus if I can't cite the Poetic Edda as proof of Odin.

Who said mathematics is intangible? We teach children math with physical blocks. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, evens, odds, primes, fractions, greater, lesser, and equal all concepts easily demonstrated by physically organizing small blocks that each represent an integer value of 1. 0 and negatives can be easily inferred from those pieces with very little imagination. That is a huge chunk of the building blocks of mathematics including Algebra.
Pythagorean theorem can be proved by physically breaking the triangle into smaller triangles and rearranging, so that adds trig and the xy plane for another huge branch math being physical.
I can tech vectors by waving my arm around in space so scalar is not abstract either.

That is how Odin was first presented to you. He was 100% presented to the people at that time as having historicity. He had stories explaining his time before man, in higher realms during the time of man, actions on earth in the presence of men, and what he would be up to at the end of time. All just like the god of christianity. Same for believers in the Greek gods during the time when they were commonly believed. Only later was their historicity removed.
It is clear you were first told about Odin by someone who did not believe in Odin. How old were you when you first heard about Odin? What percentage of the people you grew up around believed in Odin? How many hours of instruction about the greatness of Odin and importance of following Odin's ways have you had in your life?
What about Jesus? Were you first told about Jesus by someone who believes in Jesus or doesn't? How old were you when you first heard about Jesus?

A portion of the population has a gene that causes them to have high blood pressure when exposed to salt. On top of that some people dump more salt in their sweat than others.
State guidelines for daily salt consumption were based on mixing everyone together, they are not ideal for any genetic sub population.
Based on studies that separate people out, someone who is a high salt sweat, no blood pressure response, and active will have ideal outcomes around 3x the federal daily recommendation.
Current doctors cause harm on this. The symptoms for too much salt for you and not enough are the same. If you present with high blood pressure you may need more salt, as you just experienced. Your doctor will always say cut salt without any evaluating for which kind of responder you are, your diet, or activity levels.
Water is an insulator, unless you mix in salts. You run on electricity. Too little salt the signal can't get where it needs to go because of the insulation. Too much salt and the signals leak out everywhere before they get where they need to go because parts of you that aren't supposed to conduct start to.

I don't follow you, I'm on the fence about a block. Every time I see you on here you are dropping a bunch of drive by negativity on someone else's post.
Your negativity isn't even coherent, calling me a FCC bootlicker for having a license then immediately turning around and demanding daddy FCC come clean up your preferred portion of the bands for you.
The people on 1 band, with a 12w limit, 3 modes, and channels will never be as knowledgeable as the people using over a dozen bands, with frequency freedom, dozens of modes, and a 1500w limit. Depth of knowledge comes from experience and CB is a very limited range of experiences compared to ham.

Pure challenge for the sake of challenge with no immediate benefit. Awesome feeling when you get an open. It has intermittent reinforcement, like getting a bite fishing or winning gambling.
For people who struggle with traditional forms of meditation it is a great way to practice focus. I sometimes carry a lock and picks around to use like a fidget toy.
Other than that I kind of like that it has no immediate or measurable benefit. Nice to leave the hustle behind. In a way being useless is what gives it use to me.

The bitcoin citadel concept is basically a cypherpunk version of an Amish order. We even have deliberate technology use rules like preferring e2ee, protocols over platforms, and self hosting.
Order = Citadel
English = NPC
I'm sure other concepts map directly as well if I thought about it more.

I've been thinking about how the people who are the most different from us probably have the most things that they can teach us. I mean genuinely different lives not fake different labels for people who live just like us. They have different knowledge and experience than us where the people who are similar to us are already knowing the same things that we know.
An example is the Amish and Mennonites. A common misconception is that they are anti technology, they are not. A better description is that they are deliberate. They have clearly defined vision of the type of life they intend to build for themselves. Then with each new technology they make a deliberate decision to include or exclude it from their lives based on how it helps or distracts from their vision for their life.
These decisions are made at the local order level which is why you see differences from community to community. They may decide to exclude it, they may let some members of the community test it and decide based on testers opinions. If they decide to include something, they will also often set rules about how it can be used. The rules are designed to make sure uses that are allowed align with their vision.
TLDR, I think my family may be stealing some ideas from the Amish going forward. Better defined vision for our lives and more deliberate decisions about what we allow into or exclude from our lives based on that vision.

Because @nprofile…jttu is a right wing statist bigot who snuck in because they kept claiming they were against the state when the Democrats were in power. No one checked and figured out that they aren't opposed to all states until after Trumps election. Now the mask is slipping but the news hasn't reached everyone yet.

Stablecoin recipe ingredients list.
100% of inflation risk of fiat.
100% of key management hassle and online security risk of bitcoin.
Take your crypto and split it into its 2 component parts.
Keep the counterparty rug risk but discard the miniscule chance that you bought a winning lottery ticket.
Even when I was new and ill informed enough to be into crypto I knew better than to ever touch stablecoins.
Remember that crypto sometimes goes up temporarily because of the greater fool theory. If you are holding a crypto guaranteed to never go up that tells you that there can be no greater fool than you.

Lurker mode is cool, but is there a way to get to my TX history without going through the screen that shows my entire balance?
Some people do zaps, some my alby address, and some invoices when selling items at meetups. That means I need to access the TX list while in public to make sure everything is accounted for.

"Domesticated" indoor kept pet cats have no genetic traces of their domestication. They are just stunted emotionally having kept dependence on you as a surrogate parent and never gone out on their own.
If you put them in the wild and stop carrying for them they finish growing up.
That is one of the reasons why a pet cat can survive in the wild while a pet dog which is heavily genetically modified cannot.
I think about that a lot when I talk to people who want the government to solve their problems. I used to have my parents solve all my problems too.

So now there is a Whitehouse Faith Office again. So much for separation of church and state.
As if it wasn't clear enough that the entire purpose of this administration is scamming the less fortunate, the head of the new faith office is a prosperity doctrine televangelist. The scummiest grifter possible of any organized religion that has a single follower in America.

I'm finding Ubuntu Long Term Stable to be a bit lacking in the Stable part lately. Thinking about switching and decided to #asknostr what #linux distros are recommended these days.
Debian seems like the obvious transition. What else is there? I want to be able to tinker when I want to tinker but I also want it to just keep working the way I left it in between uses. Ubuntu has been too crashy. I've been a linux user for decades so I'm not interested in a full grandma safe hand hold first time away from windows distro.
Lots of forum posts equals solid LLM help for my tinkering, so size of userbase is being considered.

If you believe the allegations from DOGE, you assume that the government have suddenly had a massive honest streak, while also holding the belief that the entire government is corrupt. That is a contradiction.
Any sudden airing of wrongdoing is either a distraction from something far worse or freeing up corrupt money that was going to someone elses buddies to go to your buddies instead.

I think this is a supporter of you know who, taking their allegations as fact.
Note that they only post about past crimes but have nothing negative to say about the current administration.
Personally I'm opposed to past crimes of the US government but also opposed to the sudden centralization of power in a single man whose followers are incapable of admitting he has any faults.
You say "drain the swamp" I hear "kick out everyone who opposes me to create a single party government"
That is just the ranting of 1 history buff.

Not to me, it goes to the government. Famous for their propensity to spend every dollar they see and then some.
So it will go to the governments biggest expenses first.
1. Interest to the bankers who really run the show.
2. Military industrial complex
3. Buying votes with government handouts for special interest groups.

If I were a smartass lawyer with time to burn who wanted to get revenge against Trump because I disliked him or this policy I know what I would be doing right now.
If I were a lawyer at a health insurance company I'd be eyeballing this massive money saver as the ticket to my next raise.
It isn't about what Trump or the supporters of this think it means. All it takes is one eagle eyed lawyer who finds it in his self interest to take it on. Personally I think the law is poorly written and circumcision is clearly included in that wording by any reasonable reading.

"that attempt to alter or remove an individual’s sexual organs to minimize or destroy their natural biological functions."
Quote taken right from the document you linked.
It is an alteration and it does change the day to day function of the penis during cleaning and sexual activities both solo and with a partner.

Banning surgical manipulation of genitals, did Trump just make circumcision illegal?
