TIL a Chinese man was thought to have died from a lightning strike until his body exploded at his cremation. A piece of metal was found leading to the discovery that a weather rocket, meant to break up hail, had failed to explode & had fallen through the man's roof acting like a bullet, killing him.

The Shameless Hypocrisy of Clown World
As always, it is one law for the satanic clowns, another one for everyone else over whom they seek to rule: The US is looking into how it could punish Georgia over a ‘foreign agents’ bill which was recently passed in the country’s parliament, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a congressional hearing on […]

TIL Spartan law forbade the marriage of a girl until she was in her late teens or early 20s. The reasons were to ensure the birth of healthy children; and to spare women the risks and lifelong health damage associated with adolescent pregnancy.

Chynah has two coal mine fires that have been burning for decades. Each fire puts out more CO2 than man.
The link below illustrates the magnitude of coal fires (that are dwarfed by volcanic eruptions). https://dialogue.earth/en/energy/6296-the-world-s-longest-burning-fires-china-s-unseen-story/

Brunel's Suspension Bridge in Clifton, Bristol 1908
Designed by the renowned engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge's origins can be traced back to the early 19th century when the notion of spanning the Avon Gorge with a bridge was initially put forward. Following various design competitions and financial challenges, Brunel's pioneering suspension bridge design received approval in 1830.
Nevertheless, the construction encountered several obstacles, including financial shortages and delays, and it was only in 1864, well after Brunel's passing, that the Clifton Suspension Bridge achieved final completion.
In the present day, the Clifton Suspension Bridge stands as an iconic symbol of Bristol and a tribute to the engineering expertise of the Victorian era. Extending throughout 414 metres (1,358 feet) across the gorge and rising to a towering height of 76 metres (250 feet) above the River Avon, the bridge continues to serve as an essential transport conduit while also functioning as a historical and architectural marvel that draws visitors from across the globe.

During a brutal CNN interview aired Wednesday, Joe Biden looked shocked when host Erin Burnett reeled off a list of stats detailing how bad the economy is. Instead of suggesting how he is going to improve the situation, Biden denied any of it was real and claimed every poll showing Americans favouring Trump on the economy is wrong.

Restaurants closing in 2024: This is what cultural and economic decline looks like. Apparently 60 years of relentless immigration are not, in fact, good for the economy or the traditional culture. I wonder, however, how much of these failures are related to economic contraction, reduced consumer spending, and excessive debt versus the lack of appeal […]

“Young men nowadays behave differently from when I was young. Then, they were eager to do something for their own renown, either by going a-viking, or gaining goods and honor elsewhere in dangerous undertakings. Now they care only to sit with their backs to the fire and cool themselves with ale, and there is little manliness or hardihood to be looked for that way. You have certainly nothing much either of strength or height, and the inner part answers no doubt to the outer, so you will hardly come to tread in your father's footsteps.
In olden time, it was the custom for folk of our sort to go out on warlike expeditions, gaining wealth and honor, and that wealth was not handed down from father to son. No, they took it with them to the barrow, wherefore their sons must need find theirs by the same road.”
old Ketil Raum the boomer Viking to his son in Vatnsdæla saga
