This bitcoin / 21 million thing is coming up again and again. The 321 method brings this in where 3 is the end result and 21 is the factoring you apply. As a way of breaking things into manageable units.
3 end result - 20,000 pounds jerky
21 states each producing 952lbs each
21 cooks each producing 45lbs each

Haha if we have an old beat up Mars rover saving the day one last time I don't know if I could take it 😉👍😎⭐

2025-04-23 14:37:56

Just putting this out there!!
Title: Red Gold Rush
Premise: In 2075, a cryptic signal from a derelict Mars rover hints at "gold plus"—mysterious hydrogen-enriched gold clusters buried in a volcanic rift. These aren’t just shiny nuggets; they’re a potential energy source that could power Earth’s grid or spark a galactic war. Enter Captain Jace "Lucky" Corrigan (Nathan Fillion), a roguish exobiologist-turned-treasure-hunter with a knack for trouble, and Dax Varn (Tom Hardy), a grizzled Martian colonist with a dark past and a custom drill rig. They’re hired by a shadowy xAI exec to find the gold plus before a ruthless corporate fleet (led by a cold-blooded AI) strips Mars bare.
The Adventure:
Act 1: Jace crashes his junker rover near Dax’s outpost, sparking a bar brawl over the last bottle of Martian synth-whiskey. The xAI contract forces them to team up, but trust is thinner than Mars’ atmosphere. They decode the rover’s data, pointing to Elysium Mons, a volcano rumored to hide ancient alien tech.
Act 2: Racing across crimson dunes in a souped-up rover, they dodge dust storms and corporate drones. Dax’s knowledge of Martian caves uncovers a glowing cavern where gold plus clusters pulse with eerie energy. But the hydrogen-rich material is unstable—touch it wrong, and it’s a mini-nuke. Cue Nathan’s quips: “So, it’s gold that bites back? My kinda payday.”
Act 3: Betrayals pile up—xAI’s exec wants the gold plus weaponized, and Dax’s past ties him to the corporate AI. Tom’s growling intensity shines as he wrestles with loyalty; Nathan’s charm keeps the team from fracturing. They rig the cavern to blow, luring the fleet into a trap. Final shot: Jace and Dax, battered but grinning, watch the corporate ships crash in a fiery Martian sunset, gold plus safe—for now.
Vibes & Visuals:
Nathan Fillion’s Jace is all smirks and sarcasm, with a patched-up spacesuit and a knack for hacking ancient rovers. Think Mal Reynolds with a PhD.
Tom Hardy’s Dax is brooding, scarred, and handy with a plasma cutter, muttering lines like, “Mars don’t care ‘bout your dreams, mate. It’ll eat ‘em.”
The Martian landscape is stark reds and deep shadows, with glowing gold plus veins lighting up caves like neon. Think Blade Runner meets Treasure Planet.
Action beats: Rover chases through canyons, zero-g fights in a collapsing mine, and a desperate hack to stop the AI’s orbital strike.
Why It Works: Nathan’s wit and Tom’s raw intensity bounce off each other perfectly—think buddy-cop energy in spacesuits. The "gold plus" MacGuffin blends hard science (hydrogen-adsorbed gold’s instability) with sci-fi stakes (alien energy source?). Mars itself is a character—unforgiving, mysterious, and hiding secrets older than humanity.

Biblical Timeline: Julian Calendar Year Estimates
In a Julian Calendar format, some of the main timeline points from the sources occurred roughly the following number of years ago (assuming the current year is approximately 2023 AD):
•
Abraham's birth, which is estimated to be around 2166 BC [1, 2], would have been approximately 2023 + 2166 - 1 = 4188 Julian years ago.
•
Israel's exodus from Egypt, with one proposed date being 1446 BC [1, 3], would have been approximately 2023 + 1446 - 1 = 3468 Julian years ago.
•
The reign of King David, beginning around 1011 BC [4], would have started approximately 2023 + 1011 - 1 = 3033 Julian years ago.
•
The fall of the Southern Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC [4] would have occurred approximately 2023 + 586 - 1 = 2608 Julian years ago.
•
The birth of Jesus, estimated to be around 6–4 BC [5-7], let's take 6 BC, would have been approximately 2023 + 6 - 1 = 2028 Julian years ago.
•
The crucifixion of Jesus, which occurred around AD 30 or 33 [5, 8, 9], let's take AD 30, would have been approximately 2023 - 30 = 1993 Julian years ago.
•
The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in AD 70 [10] occurred approximately 2023 - 70 = 1953 Julian years ago.
It is important to note that some of these dates, especially those in the Old Testament, have varying estimations among scholars [11]. The calculations above provide a rough approximation based on the dates presented in the sources. https://m.primal.net/QPlC.mp4
