TIL Warren Buffett bought Berkshire Hathaway purely out of spite. In the 60s it was a failing textiles company which he wanted to sell his stake in. When its president lowballed him, he bought the whole company just to fire him. In 2010, he said it was the biggest investment mistake he ever made.

Baer is a limited hangout specialist. He only discloses CIA "secrets" that everyone with a brain is already aware of. Here he is telling only part of the Yugoslavia story - which was an American/German op.

"Indeed, the two wars between 1914 and 1945 may be seen as the Great Civil War of the West, the Thirty Years War of Western Civilization that culminated in the loss of all the Western empires and the ultimate conquest of the West by the liberated peoples of their former colonies."

TIL when Dan Shechtman discovered quasiperiodic crystals, he was widely ridiculed. Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling said of the discovery, "There is no such thing as quasicrystals, only quasi-scientists." Shechtman would later win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery.

The Daily Wire and Conservative Inc aren’t interested in free speech. They are interested in Controlled Speech. That’s their job. They rope you in by giving off the appearance of cultural resistance, and when it really matters, they sideswipe their conservative Christian audience with Regime-approved narratives. There are many examples of this – too many to count. Christians need to wise up to what is going on here. https://news.gab.com/2023/01/conservative-inc-and-the-deal-with-the-daily-wire-devil/

Speaking of sword fighting, this duel has always been one of my favourites ever since I first read about as kid.
>Be Guy Chabot, Comte de Jarnac.
>Be accused of having an incestuous relationship with your father’s second wife by the Dauphin himself.
>Be unable to defend your honour against the Dauphin.
>Challenge the Dauphin’s champion Chätaigneraye, an expert swordsman, to a duel instead.
>Know absolutely fuck all about sword fighting.
>Hire the services of Italian fencing master Capitano Caizo.
>Learn a hitherto unseen trick from the wily Italian.
>Arrive to the duel on the appointed day.
>Cut Chätaigneraye behind the left knee, where the armour doesn’t protect, severing the tendons.
>Cut him again behind the right knee.
>Laugh as Chätaigneraye can’t get up.
>Win the duel.
>Restore your honour.
>Have the move named after you: Le Coup de Jarnac.

Rabbits are the most efficient meat animal. They rely purely on grasses and water. For every 2kg of feed you will yield 500 grams of meat. The flavor is comparable to chicken which needs 2.3kg of feed per 500grans and grains can be harder to come by than grasses.
Rabbits don’t require a ton of infrastructure or space. They are easy to slaughter and process.
The only draw back many people have is killing an animal that is cute.
If the choice is; eating mRNA tainted meat or slaughtering rabbits, I’ll choose rabbits every time.
