2023.05.29 14:51 FrankTheFurnaceGuy Mammoth tooth?

South Central Texas
Found this on a bed of sand at the bottom of a creek bed in about 1 meter of water.
The creek cuts into the surrounding land by about 2-5 +/- with sandstone slabs in some areas.
Downstream I found 2 more fossilized teeth which I can include upon request.
Plenty of petrified wood in the area as well as what seems to be some agate, among others.
I posted elsewhere to get an idea of what it was and the response seems to be mostly mammoth.
I'm hoping to get further confirmation and maybe some help on where (south central Texas)/how I could go about preserving this thing before it deteriorates.
I've done some research myself on that same subject but the results are almost overwhelming and I don't want a museum to get it and never give it back, as I have heard tale locally.
I am not a professional, I just hunt rocks and found a particularly interesting location that seems relatively un-touched by rockhounds or the like.
Thanks in advance for any information provided :D

Delightful Sunday Morning at Les Bons Villers Antique Flea Market, Just a Stone's Throw from Charleroi
Greetings, Charleroi community !
I have an exciting recommendation for your Sunday morning wanderings - The Les Bons Villers Antique Flea Market, a place filled with antique curiosities that will take you on a journey through time. It's conveniently located just 12 minutes from Charleroi and 13 minutes from Waterloo (Brussels). 🌐 Brocante Les Bons Villers (Frasnes-lez-Gosselies) Website
I made a personnal project film about this place I visited last weekend : 📽️ Exploring the Charm of Brocante Les Bons Villers Flea Market GoPro Hero 7
The flea market, both indoors and outdoors, is a multicultural gathering, with amateur and professional antique dealers, artists of all kinds, and a fantastic atmosphere. Not only is it a treat for the eyes, but it's also the perfect place for bargain hunting and unearthing extraordinary finds! From full-sized bronze elephant or horse statues to magnificent paintings, paddle boat models, rare jewelry, and statues - there is something to pique everyone's interest.
The market covers an impressive area of over 10,000m², with individually secured exhibition boxes and an expansive outdoor area. Each Sunday, more than 300 'representatives of the past' come together, forming the heart and soul of this flea market. We've also recently opened up for business every Saturday.
The flea market hours are as follows:
  • Saturdays and holidays: Open to everyone from 8:00 to 14:00
  • Sundays: Open to the public from 6:30 to 14:00; Vendors from 5:00 to 14:00
  • Indoor and outdoor unpacking starts from 07:00
Enjoy some light refreshments at our indoor snack bar and food trucks on-site. There's also free parking for over 1,000 vehicles, with direct pedestrian access to the flea market. Plus, we've thought of everything to ensure a comfortable visit, including a public convenience area.
The location is easy to spot, thanks to the huge blue bubble 🔵 towering above the Van Damme transportation site, clearly visible from N5.

2023.05.29 13:54 MC_Minnow Quagmire (Family Guy) vs the Entity (It Follows)

The Entity is a demon that hunts down and kills the most recent person to have received its sexually-transmitted curse. It is slow-moving, but always knows where its target is located and how to reach them, does not need rest, and cannot be permanently stopped by any means. The only way to pass off the curse is to have sex with someone else, but when that person dies, the curse goes back to the previous person who had it before them.
Say Quagmire receives the virus and the Entity comes after him. Will the Entity be able to kill him, or will his active nature be too much for the Entity to ever catch up to him?

Evaluating Influencer Marketing Packages in 2023: Factors and Benchmarks
Influencer marketing appeals to a generation weary of excessive and unreliable advertising while expanding the market for your business. Influencer recommendations are more trusted by consumers (61%) than those from a brand's social media account (38%). Everyone has an opinion on influencer marketing packages, regardless of whether you are familiar with influencer marketing and branded content.

What Goals Do You Have?

To evaluate the success of your partnership, create a spreadsheet or planning document with a list of your goals and your key performance indicators (KPI). The following KPIs are a great place to start:
  • increase brand recognition
  • increase sales (you can track affiliate sales as a KPI with Shopify Collabs)
  • acquire more defenders

Affiliate Marketing

As part of its affiliate marketing sales strategy, an organisation will pay a third party to recommend products or services to its target market. In return, the third party receives a commission for introducing clients. The majority of brands run affiliate programmes because they are low-risk and a commission is only paid after items are purchased. When doing so, be careful to properly set up and monitor your affiliate marketing programme. Shopify Collabs were developed to help merchants build, manage, and measure affiliate sales.
Calendar For Creating Content
If you request several positions within a short period of time, influencers who are in high demand and have other obligations might be reluctant to accept your offer. You should budget a few extra weeks for discussions and final agreements in order to accommodate for that.
Pricing For Instagram Influencers
A typical Instagram post in 2021 cost $1170, and an Instagram story cost $906 on average. Even if these projections are average influences, it is useful to forecast your budget. Influencer marketing services compensation should be determined by follower and engagement metrics.
Influencers' TikTok Prices
Normally, a sponsored TikTok costs $3,514. After YouTube, where the average video price is $4,491, that is the second-highest ranking. Even while creating video content for a TikTok takes longer than creating an Instagram post, it costs three times as much. If you have money to spend and want to reach a younger audience, using a TikTok influencer is your best choice. This year, TikTok is anticipated to have 41.4 million Gen Z users, surpassing Instagram's 37.3 million. Additionally, TikTok's algorithm allows for a higher level of participation, which significantly raises your chances of getting viral above those of other sites.

Factors That Affect Influencer Price

There are additional factors that affect influencer price besides audience size and engagement rate.
  • Access To Use
If you want to control the rights to the content your influencer produces so that you may use it in advertisements or for future repurposing, this is probably going to have an impact on the influencer marketing packages.
  • Exclusivity
Including an exclusivity clause that bans your influencer from collaborating with your competitors will definitely come at a cost. This can deter individuals from accepting attractive offers, so keep it in mind as you bargain and plan your spending.
  • Admin Charges
Agencies frequently demand additional fees to manage or represent several influencers.
  • Campaign Length
The length of the campaign will have an immediate impact on influencer compensation. A brief endorsement arrangement will be less expensive than a one-time activation, like running a contest or campaign. Making a risk-model that illustrates the best-case scenario, specifically for relationships that last a long time, might be helpful when deciding on your budget.
  • Mixed-Purpose Posts
The post combo costs more, but by appealing to additional audiences, it broadens the campaign's reach.
Important Factors That Affect Costs
We've discussed items to consider when dealing with influencers and how influencer marketing management plans is determined. However, it's as important to include these measures when predicting financial outcomes. The financial model should include the following set of essential KPIs:
  • Lower engagement for sponsored posts is not unusual, particularly if influencers post a lot of them. Before predicting impact, be sure to conduct your research because doing so could dramatically alter your predictions.
  • Demographics may also have an impact on your campaign statistics. For instance, if your influencer has 30,000 followers, a 5% engagement rate, and 50% of their audience is located in the US (and your store only ships to the US), your effective model would predict eight eligible buyers based on the premise that interaction increases the likelihood that someone will make a purchase by 1%.
  • If your influencer's audience is growing quickly, you can get a lot more views for your adverts. Because they frequently are unaware of how quickly their following is growing in contrast to others, influencers might utilise this knowledge as a planning tool.
Conclusion
Social proof and recommendation advertising are the most formidable instruments at our disposal, therefore they make effective influencer marketing.

Getting a massage provides several significant advantages for our health and happiness. It can relieve tension, calm us down, help us deal with discomfort, and treat sports injuries. When getting a massage, you must, however, be sure to pick the licensed massage therapist in Santa, FE.
Different types of massage therapists exist. This may be about their personal preference, level of expertise, or even hand and arm strength. Spend some time selecting the ideal professional to obtain the finest outcomes from your massage. But how can you decide when there are so many options?
Fortunately, finding the ideal Santa, Fe massage therapist doesn't have to be challenging if you use the advice provided in this article.

Make Certain They Are Competent

You must first and foremost confirm the professionalism of the therapist you plan to see. They ought to possess extensive training in massage therapy and/or licensing that allows them to practice. Online research is a useful tool for learning about a massage therapist's level of professionalism. To find out what other people's experiences were like, look at online reviews and testimonies. Please feel free to ask your family and friends as well.

Select the Appropriate Massage Type

Next, decide what kind of massage you wish to have. There are many various massage styles, and each one can be beneficial in its way. While others will focus on easing pain and/or regaining movement, some will be more about relaxation and stress alleviation. While some massage therapists have experience with a variety of styles, many others just have one. Therefore, the therapist you select will depend on the type of massage you are getting. Your needs or goals will determine which type of massage you receive.

Find Out the Costs

The price of the massage is a factor to consider even though it isn't the most crucial one. Although some people find massages to be amazing and well worth the money, there is no denying that they can be pricey. Asking about the cost before scheduling an appointment is important because this is a lot for many individuals.
Look around and try to locate a better bargain. Some nearby cities may have more reasonable possibilities. Additionally, some massage therapists charge a lot for additional services like hot stones, aromatherapy, or other items, or have hidden fees. So that there are no unpleasant surprises, be upfront and ask how much the massage will cost in total.

Insurance for Health and Massage Therapy

It's crucial to find out how much of a massage your health insurance from work will likely cover. Although massages are meant to be soothing, it might be challenging to unwind if you are aware of how much you are paying.

Wrapping Up

We conclude by expressing our hope that this article has helped you select the ideal licensed massage therapist in Santa, FE by your requirements and financial constraints.

2023.05.29 12:57 Finzombie The Thing in the Cracks - Part 1

By Fin
“Holy crap.” James Talbot stepped back from his handiwork. It was beautiful. It made him want to scream.
Talbot was a chemist, the modern form of an alchemist, and he’d discovered something as wondrous and terrible as the most extreme postulations of his forbearers.
This was it. The culmination of all his works. This is what he’d fought for decades for, why he’d abandoned connections with everyone he’d ever known. But now it was all worth it. He would reveal the Masterwork at the Grand Chemistry Convention. It would steal the show, and he would be revered beyond every other human being who had ever lived.
It had taken Talbot long enough to assemble the Masterwork that he’d shed the title of ‘young’, not to mention most of his non-gray hair. Although it was hard to tell whether that was from aging or from what he’d beheld in his long sojourn. He was only 45, after all, and the rest of his body still held firm from decades of outdoorsmanship.
Talbot stood before a wall, upon which was painted the most intricate design any human had ever seen. It was a diagram of… unknown things. A chart of runes, maps, and artfully painted lines. There was no text in any living language on the diagram, but the harmony within the full tapestry visually sang, imparting something unfathomable in a way that Talbot could somehow fathom. The man who’d made it, who’d studied it for 15 years, barely understood it himself. But he knew that it was the ultimate solution to the entirety of philosophy, containing the answers to every question humanity had ever seen fit to ask. It had existed in his notebook for a while, in bits and pieces, but today had been its first full assembly, and it was magnificent.
He had to keep it hidden, or someone would take it from him.
He retrieved a tarp and threw it over the wall, nailing it in at the top so it hung down to cover his designs. Just to be sure, he moved his desk to block the wall, then locked the door to his office when he left for the day. James Talbot was more excited than he had ever been, and he celebrated that night with a fireplace and a large bottle of whiskey.
Of all the people at his office to commit espionage, Talbot never would’ve suspected the night janitor. This may stem from the fact that he also never suspected the night janitor to be part of a massive secret organization dedicated to keeping humanity as ignorant as possible in matters of the Higher Order.
But no matter what Talbot suspected, Tim Willis was indeed part of this society, and after he’d entered Talbot’s office with his master key to do some routine cleaning, the obvious secrecy surrounding the wall at the back of the room worried him. So he moved the desk out of the way, lifted the tarp, and inhaled sharply.
This was bad. A tapestry of the Higher Order more complete than any he’d seen before, or any reported by the other Censors of the Agency for the Preservation of Humanity.
Willis quickly replaced the tarp and desk. As soon as he’d locked the room, he pulled out his phone and dialed the number for an Alexander Talc.
Talbot arrived the next morning with a song in his heart and a latte in his hand. The former died horribly as soon as he entered his office only to find someone sitting in his chair, and the latter died horribly as it fell from his fingers, limp in shock.
The person in question was a short, slight man who wore thick glasses and a dark gray suit. He was sitting on Talbot’s office chair, facing the now uncovered back wall with all of its eldritch calculations. Talbot’s desk had been moved to the side of the room, left askew with the tarp crumpled up on top.
As Talbot entered, the stranger spun the chair around so he was facing the chemist, a broad smile on his face. He was undeniably attractive, in a delicate sort of way.
“Ah! You must be the aspiring alchemist?” He spoke softly and cheerily, but with an unnerving edge. Talbot couldn’t identify any specific aspect of his voice that disturbed him, but upon further consideration he concluded that it was the incongruity of the situation, the warm friendliness of his tone grating against Talbot’s unease.
Talbot took a step back, shaken. “I don’t… what-”
“Quite an impressive display here. You’ve managed to glean a quite large amount of knowledge about the Higher Order, especially considering you’ve never consulted us at the APH.” He pronounced it phonetically, like Aff.
“What are you-”
Talbot heard a click from behind him, and turned to see Tim Willis, the night janitor, closing and locking his door. He could barely register the betrayal.
“Ah, yes. Tim is working for me. For us. The Agency for the Protection of Humankind really frowns upon anyone attempting to learn the Higher Order.”
Talbot, finally able to form a full sentence, asked, “What’s the Higher Order?”
“You know what it is, of course, although you may not have heard the term. It’s what we call the mechanics of the very fabric of the universe itself. The questions about ‘why are we here?’ and ‘is there a god?’ and all the stuff like that. All theoretical philosophy, basically. And you, apparently through sheer dumb luck,” He turned to admire the mural again, “have managed to find more of it than any human being ever, including us! Quite impressive. Big hand.” The man slow-clapped for Talbot. The small sweet-looking man being sarcastically condescending was jarringly incongruous.
Talbot felt a surge of anger, and it helped him produce a full sentence. “Dumb luck?!?” He advanced on the man. “My Masterwork is the product of 20 years of research and experience! This is the greatest thing anyone has ever done, and how dare you say I achieved it through dumb luck!”
The man raised his hands placatingly. “Okay, okay!” He chuckled. “Years of research, whatever. You found the Higher Order. That’s where we come in.”
“Why?”
“Ah. Well, you see, the reason that no one’s found the entire Higher Order is simple. It’s because we stop them.”
Talbot was incredulous. “What?! Why would you stand in the way of progress like that?!” As a scientist, the possibility that there could be anyone actively against gaining knowledge was incomprehensible to him.
The man grimaced, as though he was about to break some terrible news. “Well… there are some parts of this tapestry you’ve assembled, specifically here...” The man pointed at a small segment of the diagram, a thick horizontal line with four thin lines crossing perpendicularly that turned into five lines on the other side, “That grants access to some other planes of existence. Planes of existence that are home to some very dangerous things. And due to some logistical aspects of the Higher Order,” He gestured at another segment of the diagram entirely composed of square symbols, “if you muck about in their domain, they are able to muck about in ours. The Law of Equivalent Interference.”
“But… how would our finding answers count as ‘mucking about in their domain’? If we knew the danger, we just wouldn’t go there.”
The man was silent, then answered Talbot’s question with a question. “Tell me, Talbot. If humans discovered another dimension, do you really think they’d be able to stay out of it?”
“Fine. But then why do you have to censor the whole thing? Why not give them the benign parts that would still forward human progress by centuries?”
“Because the Higher Order is like Algebra. Or a logic puzzle from Highlights magazine. If you give someone smart enough just a few clues, they’ll eventually assemble the whole picture. Which we desperately want to avoid.”
There was a long and heavy silence.
“Ok.” Said Talbot, wrapping his head around the new information. “So the APH stops people from finding the answers to these questions so our world isn’t destroyed by Fourth Dimensional entities?”
“Exactly!” The man nodded, delighted at Talbot’s comprehension. “Well, they’re technically Fifth Dimensional. The existence of time in our reality means that this is the Fourth Dimension.”
There was another silence.
“Sorry, what was your name again?” Talbot asked.
The man looked utterly devastated. “Oh no! I can’t believe I was so rude!” He vaulted the desk and approached Talbot, stopping just short and shaking his hand. “Alexander Talc, Class 2 Censor Operative for the APH.”
“Censor as in… ?”
“Yes, I censor things. People too, if necessary.”
“So what,” Talbot asked, “You’re here to kill me?”
Talc gasped. “What?!?! No! As if we’d be so barbaric! We’re here to recruit you.”
Talbot’s eyes widened. “Wait, really?”
“Of course! You know more about the Higher Order than any human outside of the APH, and probably more than a majority of those inside of the APH. Your expertise could be vital in preventing a breach in our reality!”
“What would this job entail?”
“Well, we’d need you to fake your death, change your name, burn your research-”
Talbot recoiled.
“Now I know that sounds like a lot,” Talc backpedaled, “But allow me to let you in on a little secret.” He leaned in conspiratorially, then glanced around as though to make sure nobody was listening. Satisfied, he whispered, “The dental is off-the-charts.”
Talbot shook his head. “What happens if I don’t take the job?”
Talc winced. “Things get considerably less pleasant. I have to call in a Class 3 Purge Operative, and that’s always a hassle.”
Talbot chose not to inquire into the purpose of a ‘Purge Operative’.
Talc gently laid a hand on Talbot’s shoulder. “It’s a lot to take in, I know. How about we move to some place more hospitable and you can think it over?”
Talbot nodded, his mind elsewhere. Talc gently guided him out of the room, Willis following and closing the door behind them.
Talbot stared down into his conical paper cup, filled with water that tasted plasticy. The three men were in the lobby of Talbot’s workplace, leaning against a table adorned with donuts and a water cooler.
Talc bit into a day-old bear claw as Talbot swirled his water and considered the situation.
If he accepted the offer, he would be shipped off to another state, away from his home in Bedford, where he would join whatever on earth APH was. Talbot hated the idea of working for an agency whose entire purpose was to destroy knowledge. On the other hand, if he didn’t accept the offer, they’d likely kill him.
Purge Officer…
Would working for the APH really be so bad? Talbot liked Talc enough. Maybe they could be friends. Or… more than friends. And if the APH truly wanted Talbot to be able to suppress the Higher Order, he’d have to know the Higher Order. Which meant research. He could essentially continue on exactly as he was.
Except he would never be recognized as the genius he was. Talbot involuntarily crushed his paper cup as he realized that, if he took the offer, he’d never win a Nobel prize. He’d never present at the Grand Chemistry Convention. He’d never write a revolutionary scientific paper. He would be forgotten.
He knew what he had to do. He couldn’t say no, or he would be killed. He couldn’t accept, or he would be forgotten, which was worse. He had to escape.
But how? This was some sort of world-ruling secret agency. They probably had eyes everywhere. What could he possibly do to get away?
His eyes wandered towards the stairs. The stairs that led to his office, which held the key to every single natural law.
Talbot tossed his cup in the trash, then approached Talc.
“I think I’m ready to make my decision. But first, can I go to the restroom?”
Talc nodded. “Of course! Take all the time you need!”
Talbot nodded and jogged toward the restroom. In the tiled floor under him, he saw Willis’s warped reflection following him discreetly.
He entered the single restroom and quietly opened the window. He could see Willis’s shadow under the door as the man hovered just outside.
Talbot waited a couple seconds, then flushed the toilet, turned on the sink, and silently crept through the window. He fell a few feet to the alley below, and had to suppress a grunt.
Now what? He needed to escape, but his notebook was still upstairs. All his research was in there, and he couldn’t leave it to the APH.
The only ground level entrance to the building was the main lobby door, which was directly in Talc’s sightline. However, who said he had to enter on ground level?
Talbot’s gaze rose to the old fire escape above him. The bottom of the structure was a platform that lined up with the second floor. A ladder was folded up on the platform, an old rusty latch keeping it from reaching ground level. Talbot couldn’t reach the latch from where he was on the ground, so he looked around for a solution.
He had a bum throwing arm, so he couldn’t toss anything up to break it. Unless…
Talbot considered Talc’s words. The very mechanics of the universe itself... He felt a flare of pride as he realized how little Talc truly understood.
The sigil that granted access to the Fifth Dimension was just one of several such Seals. Over all Talbot’s years of study, those portions of the Higher Order were the most applicable. They did not just show universal aspects of reality. They represented those aspects. They were symbolic, and like all symbols, they were powerful.
They were simulacra of natural laws, and could be manipulated in order to manipulate those laws themselves. It allowed anyone who knew the Seals to weave a sort of magic, ignoring the laws of time, space, or gravity by sketching and then destroying the corresponding runes, temporarily destroying that Law’s influence over oneself. Talbot’s hypothesis was that there was a single Greater Seal for each law that controlled that law anywhere and everywhere. If that one was found and destroyed, the laws of reality would change forever.
For greater, wide-scale application, Talbot had scrawled in his notebook, The Greater Aspects must be located and manipulated.
Talbot dropped to the ground and dragged his finger through the alley gravel. He assembled the rocks into a facsimile of a tiny part of the Higher Order, one that he’d experimented with a lot. He looked around for a suitable vessel, settling on a rock. He poured all his mental energy into the stone, and used his hands to scatter the pebbles that made up the Seal of Velocity.
The rock sprang from the ground and soared upwards, clanging against the ladder before anticlimactically falling into a dumpster. From inside, Willis banged on the bathroom door and said something indistinct. Talbot’s second telekinetic toss hit the ladder before falling onto the platform itself. He broke another Seal, and his third throw smacked into the latch, splitting the rusted thing and shooting the ladder downwards.
It made a lot of noise, and Talbot could hear Willis pounding on the bathroom door inside. He seemed to be breaking it down, as Talbot heard wood split with a crunch. Talbot quickly mounted the ladder and climbed up to the platform, trying not to think about the alarming creaking sounds the old construction was making. From there, he took the stairs two at a time, spiraling up and up until he reached the sixth floor.
Six flights of stairs only had him a bit winded by the time he reached his floor. He tried the door to the inside, and found it unlocked.
Talbot entered the hallway outside his office quietly. He considered how this would play out. Willis and Talc would be storming up here at any moment. He had to move quickly.
Talbot entered his workroom, dragging his desk over to block the door. He took a moment to gaze forlornly at his Masterwork, because he would never be able to take it with him. All the same pieces and diagrams were in his notebook, but the full Masterwork was a thing of beauty, one that he would never behold again.
He snapped a picture of it with his phone. It wasn’t the same, but it’d have to do.
Talbot grabbed his notebook, its leather-bound pages bulging with decades of research. Some of the sheaves of paper stuck out at odd angles, newspaper snippets and glossy photographs glued into the most faithful companion Talbot had ever had.
Was there anything else he needed?
The door began to rattle.
Talbot grabbed a sheet of blank paper from his desk and rapidly sketched as many Seals as he could. He had an idea of how he could escape, but he needed to harness his work to do it. Using the Masterwork as a reference, he scrawled the Seal of Time, the Seal of Space, the Seal of Gravity, and, after considering it, the Seal of the Fifth Dimension.
Just in case. He thought.
With a crack, his door burst open, shoving the desk out of the way. Talc and Willis stood there, the latter looking enraged, the former strangely calm.
“Talbot, this doesn’t have to happen this way.” Talc appealed, but Talbot was done listening. He would not be forgotten. He would be immortalized, through his work.
Talbot ripped a corner off of his Seal sheet, and glanced down at the Seal of Time. With a glare at Talc, he stuck it in his mouth and began to chew.
Talbot disappeared with a pop, as Willis lunged towards where he’d just been.
Willis stopped short, then turned to Talc. He was noticeably upset at losing their quarry.
“What do we do now?”
“Well, we follow him.”
“How?”
Talc approached the Masterwork. “It’s simple. I’m sure Talbot understood that time travel doesn’t work the way everyone thinks it does. Cause and Effect are inextricably linked, and cannot be put out of order. Traveling through time actually just creates another dimension, a splintered facsimile of your original where things play out differently.”
“So… to follow him do we just use the Time Sigil?”
Seal, Willis. And no. That will just create another splinter plane. Now that the reality has already been established, we need to follow him. Using this.”
Talc’s thin fingers traced the outline of another Seal, one Talbot hadn’t thought to inscribe.
“There are many ways to traverse the Multiverse.” Talc said, “Using Seals to rip open the barriers between planes is one of the simplest.”
Talc sketched down two copies of the seal, then separated the two and handed one to Willis. The two locked eyes and nodded in unison. They both rent their sheets in half and disappeared.
Talbot didn’t ‘land’, per se, but he still felt off-balance when he blinked into existence in his office. He staggered, but caught himself before he could fall. The world felt… different here.
Out of everything Talbot had discovered, Multiversal travel was his least considered. He’d been too cowardly to experiment with anything but the Space, Gravity, and Velocity Seals, so this experience was new to him. Naturally, as any scientist does when faced with something unfamiliar, he started taking notes.
Effects of Time/Universe Traversal:
–Slight nausea. Somewhat noticeable. Temporary?
–World overall feels discordant. Silence sounds different than back home. My tinnitus is in another key. Feels like I don’t belong.
–Different frequency hard-coded into every reality?
Before he could assemble an entire thesis on the underlying resonance within the multiverse, he realized with a start that he had to get out of here. Talc and WIllis were likely following him, and even if they weren’t, there were copies of them in this dimension.
Talbot had willed himself about 10 minutes back in time, and it seemed like that’d worked. His Masterwork was complete and the desk and tarp were off to the side. The trio were likely downstairs in the lobby, where Past-Talbot was thinking over the pros and cons of their offer. At least, he thought so. Time travel seemed to create a splintering reality, one that maintained consistency with his original up until the point where he showed up. There were plenty of unfamiliar worlds out there, but the Seal of Time created one quite familiar. Right now Past-Talbot-
Past-Talbot doesn’t sound right. Pretty soon it’ll be my present, then my future. How about Talbot-2?
After settling upon a name to call his double, Talbot exited his office and left through the door that led to the fire escape, in too much of a hurry to close it. He scrambled down the stairs, knocked the latch off the ladder, climbed to the ground, popped open the bathroom window, and climbed inside. Right as he got his arms through, the door opened.
Talbot-2 walked in, then stopped short as he saw himself dangling halfway through the window. Talbot put a finger to his lips, and indicated Willis-2 with his eyes. Talbot-2 silently shut the door, locking Willis-2 outside.
Talbot-2 opened his mouth to speak, but barely got out one word. “What-”
“I’m you, from the future. Well, not from your future, but from a future.”
Talbot-2’s confused expression was replaced with excitement. “So the Time Seal Worked?! Fantastic! What’s it like?!”
“I’d tell you all about it, but I’m currently stuck in a bathroom window and being hunted down by two government agents. Although I don’t actually know if they work for the government…”
Talbot-2 pulled him through the window into the bathroom. “Sorry.”
Once he was in, Talbot glanced at the door behind Talbot-2.
“Okay. Here’s the thing. Some version of Talc and Willis will be here any minute. Whether mine followed me from the future or not, yours will catch on soon. We need to get out of here, and get the Masterwork to somebody else.”
“Wait, which Talc and Willis will show up?”
“One of them… or both of them. It doesn’t really matter! Do we know anybody we can send our notes to?”
Talbot-2 considered it. “Davis?”
Talbot frowned, and opened his notebook to an early page.
Dr. Wilson Davis
–Spineless fool. He calls himself a chemist, but refuses to venture outside the conventions of the industry. No true scientist works a cushy chemical production job! We journey! We endeavor!
Talbot shook his head. “He’d never publish something like this. If they tracked him down, he’d probably take their oppressive offer.”
“Johnson?”
Dr Monica Johnson
—Chemist and conspiracy nut. Super gullible, but generally a good person.
“She’ll believe anything.” Talbot said. “...Which is actually probably a good thing in this case. If she thinks it’s real, she’ll distribute it, and she’s earnest enough to leave my- our name on it.”
Talbot-2 nodded. “Sounds like a plan. Actually, it sounds like an idea, not a plan. What is our plan?”
Talbot thought for several seconds. “Here’s what we do. You pretend to accept their offer, and do whatever they tell you. If all else fails, you’ll get a cushy job working for the government. Meanwhile, I get this,” Talbot indicated his notebook. “To Johnson, and then…” He paused.
Someone knocked on the door.
“And then?” Talbot-2 prompted in a whisper, glancing behind him.
“Then… I’ll figure something out.”
Talbot-2 nodded. “Alright. Are we ready to go?”
“I think so.” Talbot replied.
Talbot slipped out of the window, and Talbot-2 opened the door to greet Willis-2.
The man peered around him. “Who were you talking to in there?”
Talbot-2 shrugged. “Myself. You know, crazy scientist stuff.”
Talbot dropped to the ground, then produced his sheet of Seals. He picked out one specific design, a circle bisected by a thin line. On one side of the line, a stylized forest thrived, and on the other a pictographic city loomed. Talbot ripped the Seal of Space from his paper and stuck it in his mouth, once again disappearing with a pop.
Talc and Willis appeared in Talbot-2’s workroom, and quickly exited. Both spun in the hallway outside, and both spotted the wide-open door to the fire escape. They both moved down the rickety metal construction and found themselves in an alley behind the building.
“See that?” Talc pointed at the window.
“Yeah. Did he go in through it?” Willis asked.
“Of course. But if he used the Seal of Time to try to come back and alert himself, I’m guessing he came through here to talk to him…self, but he couldn’t have left. The only point at which he was in the bathroom, you were right outside. He popped in, popped out, popped another Seal.”
“Is there any guarantee that he came back to alert himself? He could’ve gone to any point in time.”
“I know his type. The out-there intellectual. He’s been burned by everyone but himself. He’ll only trust himself. And if he came to himself before we’d arrived, he wouldn’t believe him.”
“Sorry, who wouldn’t believe him?”
“Him! Aren’t you-” Talc took a moment to consider the context. “You know what, nevermind. The point is that this reality’s Talbot is now in league with our Talbot, and that’s not good.”
“What do we do?”
“Well firstly, we need to cut it down to one Talbot. Two is too many to deal with.” Talc pushed on his earpiece, then spoke. “Hello? Can you hear me, Talc?” There was silence, until something dawned on him. “Ah, dammit. I can’t call my own earpiece.” He adjusted something on his earpiece. “Willis! Do you copy?” Willis heard Talc both from right next to him and through his earpiece. He didn’t hear the reply, but his earpiece buzzed as its exact copy broadcast something. Willis took his earpiece out and squinted at it, curious about the exact Multiversal properties that bonded it to its clone.
“Yes, this is Talc. But not your Talc. Listen, Talbot ran off to this dimension, and we believe he’s working with your Talbot. We need to meet up, then dispose of the dupe.”
Talc listened for a response, and Willis’s earpiece vibrated as his double presumably replied.
Talc turned to Willis. “Alright. They’ll meet us back in Talbot’s office. There we can get rid of the redundant one and track our quarry.”
Their quarry was currently depositing a large package of brown paper in a big blue mailbox.
Talbot paused as he lowered the boxy parcel. This was his life’s work, his notebook and all his scattered papers, and was the second-most important thing he owned, next to the wall that contained the Masterwork itself, which was likely being dismantled by his enemies at that very moment. This was the last 20 years of his life, and he was about to gamble it away to a crazy woman on the off-chance that his legacy might live on. Talbot wished he’d spent more time with reasonable scientists, if only to expand the pool of people he could mail his book to.
With a deep breath, Talbot released the book, wincing at the gentle ‘paff’ sound it made when it fell onto the envelopes at the bottom of the box.
His job complete, Talbot slipped the hood of his sweatshirt over his head and disappeared into the afternoon.
Guns are inelegant, Talc told his subordinate often. They’re loud, messy. Tools of thugs and soldiers, not agents of a higher purpose.
But there’s a downside to not carrying a gun, Willis countered silently. The difference between shooting a person and being forced to kill them more intimately is palpable, and not often a positive.
Willis considered this as Talbot-2 stopped struggling and finally went limp in his arms. Willis released the garotte from around the man’s throat, then lowered him to the floor of the office.
An irritated sigh came from behind him. Willis turned to see Talc shaking his head and walking toward him.
“No, you need to finish the job.” The man said. He kneeled, took Talbot-2’s forehead in one hand, his chin in the other, then jerked his head to the side, snapping his neck.
“If you stop garrotting when he goes limp, he’s just unconscious.” The other Talc, Talc-2, stated.
Willis nodded, numbly. He didn’t really hear the man.
“I know this is hard,” Talc said, shifting into a gentler tone, “But this is all for the good of humanity. If we let these ideas run wild, we’d all be dead.”
“Worse than dead.” Talc-2 added helpfully. “Our very essences would be consumed by dark beings from beyond our world.”
Willis nodded again. He’d heard it all before. So why did he still find it so hard to hurt people?
“So where’s the other one?” Willis-2 asked, seemingly unaware of his double’s predicament.
“That’s the big question, isn’t it.” Talc-2 mused, “However, before we can ponder it, first things first. We need to get a CC team in here to handle that wall.”
All four men were familiar with the APH Cognito Containment Teams, mysterious individuals in surgical masks that took away artifacts of forbidden knowledge to be stored or disposed of.
Talc-2 clicked his earpiece, then said a series of numbers and codes that were unintelligible to either Willis. He finished by saying, “Please send a Class-4 CC team. Over.”
He turned to the others. “They’re on their way. We need to secure Talbot’s place of residence.”
“Do we know that’s where he’ll go next?” Willis-2 asked.
“Not necessarily,” Talc-1 responded, “But it’s quite likely he’ll at least stop there to retrieve personal effects before going somewhere else.”
Both Willises nodded, almost in sync. The logic made sense. They would lock down Talbot’s house first.
All was silent in the small house several miles outside of town that Talbot called his abode. Then frantic footsteps sounded from outside, as someone ran up the footpath leading to the front door. Then, a faint scratching as Talbot scrambled to fit his key into the lock. A quiet clacking came next, as Talbot’s cat descended his cat-tree and approached the door to see what was happening.
Talbot swung the door open and gently pushed the cat out of his way with his foot.
“Sorry Ozzy,” he muttered.
He produced his debit card and snapped it in half, having extracted all the money from his account before arriving here. He pulled several thousand dollars from his pockets and shoved them in his wallet, his backpack, the pocket on the inside of his jacket, and his shoes.
He grabbed a spare toothbrush and tube of toothpaste from the master bathroom, shoving them into the backpack as well. He was going on the run, for god knows how long.
He paused as his eyes fell on his set of keys. He wouldn’t be taking his car or his house, so they’d likely not be necessary.
But I might as well just in case. Talbot grabbed the jangling key ring and slipped it into the inside pocket of his pants.
His cat mewed at his feet. After a moment’s hesitation, he grabbed his carrier and bowl, both monogrammed with a matching ‘Ozymandius’.
He knew bringing Ozzy was objectively a bad choice. It was impractical and stupid. The cat was loud, and would slow him down. But Talbot couldn’t bear leaving his baby here to be subjected to whatever evil ideas Talc and Willis had in mind.
Talbot coaxed Ozzy into his crate, then picked up the cat and donned his backpack. He took one last look around his house before he opened the front door and was immediately grabbed by both Willises, one of which held a chloroform rag over his mouth until he went limp.
Talbot awoke with a start. He glanced around, disoriented, and immediately registered that he was in some sort of interrogation room. His chair was metal, and bolted to the floor. Before him was a table, and above that table a blinding light mounted on the ceiling shone directly into his eyes. On the wall across from him, very much breaking the theme, was a ‘Hang in there!’ poster and a wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispenser.
Talbot tried to stand, only to find that his wrists and ankles were strapped into the chair. He strained against the bonds, cursing as the straps held strong.
He thought he heard faint snickering.
He turned to glare at the mirror to his right. “What are you planning to do to me?!”
Silence.
“What are you planning to do to my cat?!?”
More silence.
The Talcs and the Willi were standing behind the one-way mirror on Talbot’s left, looking at the back of his head as he shouted at no one. Talc looked mildly amused at Talbot’s complete misunderstanding of the room’s orientation.
Willis-2 glanced at Talc-2, who shrugged and motioned for Talc-1 to enter the larger room. Talc-1 did as asked.
The door at the front of the room opened, and Talc stepped out. He took a seat across from Talbot, and cleared his throat.
“First off, the most important thing. Your cat will be well-cared for, no matter the outcome of this conversation. Great name, by the way.”
Talbot refused to thank him for the compliment.
Talc cleared his throat, and there was a long silence.
“What about my first question?” Talbot asked, his voice trembling.
Talc sighed, then reached below the table.
Several seconds later, he came back up, notably with some difficulty. He slammed Talbot’s notebook down on the table. Next to it, he laid the sheet of seals Talbot had used to traverse space and time.
Talbot was stricken. “How did you-!?”
“Find this? Simple deduction. I’m frankly insulted that you didn’t consider that we’ve been tailing everyone you know for months. Johnson was the only person you could send this to.”
“What did you do to her?!”
“Nothing! We’re not the bad guys here, Talbot. We pulled the package from her porch before she ever got involved. We’d never hurt anyone.”
“Then where am I?” Talbot spat, then rephrased. “I mean… where is the version of me from here? Wait, are you from here or there?”
“I’m from there, assuming you mean your original reality. And Talbot-2 is fine. He’s in the next room.”
Willis winced behind the mirror.
“You never actually answered my question.” Talbot said quietly.
Talc pursed his lips regrettably.
“Well… here’s the thing, Talbot. What I’d like to do is offer you a chance to redeem yourself. I’d like to let you join the APH and help us protect humanity. But you’ve made it clear that that’s not what you want, and if we let you into our fold now, we’d forever be looking over our shoulders, wondering whose side you were truly on. And we can’t just let you go, no no. Your theories would largely be regarded as crackpot, but there are ways to prove these things, and you would certainly find them.”
Talbot swallowed. “Couldn’t you just… you know… erase my memory?”
Talc stifled a laugh. “Unfortunately, this is not Men In Black. Actions have consequences. There are no take-backs. And I’m sorry, Talbot, but this is it for you.” Talc stood, turned on his heel, and left.
“Why the hell’d you wake him up just to tell him that?” Willis muttered behind the glass.
“Hey, wait!” Talbot screamed at him as he departed, but there was no response.
Talbot tried to stand again, but slammed back into his chair as the bonds held.
Willis entered a few minutes later, holding a syringe. He winced at the sight before him. Talbot was hunched over, resting his head on the table. His shoulders were bobbing as though he was sobbing quietly.
Willis approached Talbot and tightened the strap on his right wrist. He moved around him and reached for his left hand, only to see that the strap had been sawed apart, and Talbot’s hand was free.
Willis grabbed his elbow, but Talbot struggled against the man’s grasp. The scientist was trying to keep it firmly on the table under his face.
Frustrated, Willis grabbed Talbot’s head and lifted it back, so he was sitting up straight.
As he beheld Talbot’s face, Willis felt a bolt of fear lance through him. The man was smiling, but it was not a happy smile.
It was the smile of a trapped animal that knew it would take a limb before it went down. With his eyes, Talbot indicated downwards. Willis slowly lowered his vision to the stainless steel tabletop. In Talbot’s hand was a housekey, the teeth worn down from sawing through the leather strap and scratching a symbol into the table. Right under his hand, the surface was pockmarked with the Seal of the Fifth Dimension.
Willis lunged for Talbot’s wrist, but it was too late. The alchemist brought the key across the symbol, carving another scratch to break the Seal and the boundaries between their reality and one far darker. Neither man had time to scream.
Talbot felt himself slip free of the chair, and out of the leather strap around his wrist.
Willis’s grip loosened, and it felt like he was flung across whatever intermediary pathway connected the fourth and fifth dimensions.

2023.05.29 11:10 Matt_NZ Polestar Experience as a Model 3 owner

I was up in Auckland this weekend and with a bit of time to spare before my flight home I thought I'd go for a drive to have a nosey around the old neighbourhood I used to live in. Since I'd previously set up a Mevo account I figured I'd hunt down one of their vehicles for the task. Anyway, one of the vehicles available was a Polestar, which as a long time Model 3 owner, I had been curious about taking for a test drive. I ended up driving it for around 2.5 hours before leaving it at the airport for my flight home. This particular Polestar was a 69kWh Standard Range FWD variant with almost 16,000km on its odometer.
Driving dynamics felt fine but, it felt like the take off power is artificially restricted. While I have a Performance Model 3, even the RWD version I've driven previously feels like it has more instant power than this car did whereas the Polestar feels like it's trying to ease you into the power. I guess some people might prefer that but isn't that why I have an accelerator pedal, so I can control how much I want at a given time? It also felt like you go from having not much to suddenly being given all of it, which doesn't feel as smooth.
When it comes to the interior, I can see why some say that it feels claustrophobic. From the outside, it looks like a large car but when you get in you feel crammed in. All the windows feel like they're tiny and you don't get a lot of vision out of them, including the front window. The front dash feels like it's sitting too high and cuts into your visual space. It feels like you need to rise your seat up, but I already had the seat at a height where it was starting to become an issue for head clearance. I've heard some say that the centre console is quite wide but I didn't find it to be an issue, but the location of the cup holders means that if you and your passenger both have a drink you no longer have an armrest since you have to lift away the centre armrest to access the cup holder. The material used for the centre console also felt and sounded like cheap hollow plastic and I believe it was the source of one of the rattles that this car had when driving on chipseal. Whatever material they use on the seats also felt "cheap". Having clipper cut hair on the sides of my head, my hair felt like it was poking between the weave of the fabric on the head rest and due to the type of fabric used, I could constantly hear the scratching noise of my hair rubbing over it. Overall, the interior felt less premium than my Model 3 interior.
I thought the infotainment system was great though, even though I mostly used it for navigation. Having Google Maps built into the car was great. Most importantly, it was responsive and it didn't feel laggy like a lot of other touchscreen systems do. Although the navigation is displayed on the dash cluster, out of habit I kept finding myself looking at the main centre screen instead.
Over the 100km I drove, I did get to do a bit of playing around with the driver assistance features. On the motorway it felt good and felt like it was actively keeping in the lane rather than ping ponging between the lane lines like I've experienced in some other vehicles. However, it seemed to struggle with even the slightest bend in the road, even on a motorway. There's a very slight corner on the Southern Motorway just beside the City Impact church before Sylvia Park, however it was almost touching the left centre line while I was in the right lane passing someone at around 105km/h and I felt like I had to take over to prevent it going further - even my passenger was nervous. I did confirm that it was indeed on lane keeping mode, and this happened a few times on the motorway at slight bends. In comparison, these kind of bends on a motorway are nothing for the similar system in my Model 3 (known as Autopilot), which I had driven on this stretch plenty of times prior to moving away. On some slightly rural roads out near Whitford I kinda gave up on the lane assist feature as it was pretty clear that it just can't cope with corners. Sure, it's probably more of a motorway feature and so is Autopilot but, the latter at least does a decent job of non-motorway roads in most scenarios, only really requiring assistance from the driver in sub-80 corners.
However, its TACC feature was very good at reacting to slowing to traffic (no last-minute heavy braking) and maintaining a following distance. One thing that it seemed to struggle with was maintaining a speed going downhill, where at some points it was going almost 5km/h faster than the set speed. This was surprising given how good its one pedal driving is when manually driving so I'm not sure how maintaining a speed going downhill was a struggle for it. I actually had to take over due to there being a speed camera at the bottom of one of the hills because the runaway speed was probably high enough that it would snap me. Again comparing to my Model 3, it holds a speed very well - I don't think I've ever seen it deviate more than 1km/h, even on a steep downhill road. On the topic of speed keeping, it would have been nice if it would also react to the speed signs that it reads or at least give the option to be able to change the current TACC speed to the new speed limit.
I could cover other various feature but overall, I'd say it's a nice car but to me it just seems that the Model 3 does things better in most categories, including price. I was left wondering why you'd pick a Polestar over a Model 3 and I guess the one thing it has going for it that might be appealing to some is that it's not a Tesla.

2023.05.29 09:58 aDogCalledLizard ⚠️Alert wanted fugitive on the run⚠️

Warning for team Mad Catter and friends Do NOT ALLOW the escaped individual formerly known as Reese "Eeyoore" Ewert ANYWHERE near your felines as he will commit most egregious and deplorable crimes against them. His known criminal contacts include both battlebots and team Whyachi.
The main suspect is wanted by the FBI for being alleged suspects to his frankly inhuman crimes plus those he has known or suspected links to are wanted by the FBI are listed as follows:
Reese "Eeyoore" Ewert: described as having long curly hair (ginger I think? 🤔 🤔) and always wearing a front facing cap and one or only two Ewert brothers not as of this time suspected or known to be follicly challenged. known to slowly speak in a distinctly southern or mid American drawl. Reportedly often seen frequenting questionable strip clubs in the greater Las Vegas area. Current status and location unknown. Presumed armed, extremely intoxicated and looking quite like a homeless guy.
Terry "the sheriff" Ewert: the patriarch of the extremely dangerous and globally infamous Ewert organised crime syndicate. Is also wanted on separate charges of misdemeanor false and wilful imitation of law enforcement. According to our records, is not currently an active or even retired member of the law enforcement community (he's kinda ancient OK?). Last seen in a freakin cool 😎 😎 😎 artificial pond or lake in or near Dorchester Wisconson. Presumed old and very tired 😴😴😴
Jake "the bike rack" Ewert: eldest member of all the Ewert family siblings. Also employed by Westar MFG, the largely fictional Ewert family business believed to mostly be a front company for his younger brother Reese to abduct unsuspecting moggies from across the nation. Defined as bald, usually wearing a backwards facing cap and slightly ahem portly but in a loveable rogue not "oh my god that is the fifth fucking time today that we have visited Sloppy Joe's" kind of way. Suspected to be right now involved in training his kids to be the next generation of illicit cat milkers.
Luke "the death stare" Ewert: was easily apprehended and currently being remanded in the custardy (see what I did there? 😁😁🤣) of the state after being caught robbing a store clerk at gunpoint staring emotionlessly like a terminator later determined to be involved in an illegal plot for apparently making egg nogg or whatever it is you do with your brother's feline sourced ill gotten dairy gains (I hope it's lactose free). Presumed emotionally colder than my nasty bitch of an ex wife (she even took the goddamned dog, can you believe that?!! 😭😭😭).
Clint "not Eastwood" Ewert: widely considered to be the third or fourth oldest one in the Ewert sibling group. Balding and also reputedly an active employee of the Whyachi workshop like his oldest brother Jake, Clint's role in the larger scheme of things is unclear to us at this time. Has a wife (yes we honestly don't know how either) who is suspected of being involved in some kind of official medical capacity, most likely using her available pharmaceutical resources and experience to find faster ways of more effectively subduing a targeted ahem pussy.... cat. Presumed still wondering why he always ends up being given the shittest bots that were made by team Whyachi just like his younger brother Reese. (Jesus christ is there a fucking cloning facility out there or something?!!)
Richard "the pump guy" Stuplich: a long running criminal associate of the patriarch Terry and also known to be the team's go-to electrical expert and mostly specialises in providing up to the minute actionable CCTV to the family workshop as well as other miscellaneous properties and facilties directly belonging to other otherwise involved in the estimated half a trillion dollar wider Ewert worldwide criminal empire. According to most recent undercover investigations conducted by our secret agent Thanondorf TV (not his assigned codename) is known to equip his house with a litany of CCTV cameras making clandestine approach to his house at night by our supposedly "elite" DEA raid teams practically impossible. Little information exists on this elusive individual but presumed really fucking hates people (that makes two of us dude). Also known to use the false alias Dick in a futile attempt to avoid those god awful BB super fans.
Rachel "tiny hands" Stuplich: a rather unassuming looking lady who is the daughter of Dick (seriously have you seen the way she just stares into your soul with a look of sheer contempt at the very idea you even dare to breathe air on the same planet as her). estimated age 27 tho not confirmed at this time. Very much the same as Clint and her dad Dick, Rachel's function in the overall structure of the Ewert crime enterprise (warp factor 9 mr data!!) is not very well understood however she is widely believed to be the first product of the secret cloning facility that the Ewert family established incognito circa 1996/7 that would explain her cold and slightly murderous demeanour. (yes I could be wrong on those calculations I didn't pay enough attention in maths class OK?) currently presumed married and secretly regretting it.
Trevor "big where it counts" Trantow: Clearly not big where it counts contrary to obviously falsified records (I'm lonely OK you've at least got a desirable lady in your life even if she's probably a genetically engineered psycho who's most likely planning to conceive with, kill and then cannibalize you when you least expect it like a giant southern human US take on a black widow spider and then use your disemboweled and yet still partially alive/conscious carcass to incubate her offspring b4 she goes bezerk and eats all of them). Sorry got sidelined there..... Our intel reports on mr Trantow indicate that he was last seen in the direction of Atlanta on the Atlantic seaboard (that's how these names work right? RIGHT? My god I really shoulda focused more in school) in some kind of strange and barbaric alcohol based social rituals but his current whereabouts are not known. he is presumed cannibalized by his now being hunted down (black) widow of a wife. RIP(tide) Trevor Trantow gone too soon 199something-2023
Any other leads would be greatly appreciated if you have seen any of these individuals who are wanted by every three lettered federal agency in the country FBI, CIA, DEA, DIA and all the other ones I can't be arsed to remember than please email me at [email protected]. Cheers big ears.
The only recent information we have on the suspect is this:

2023.05.29 09:33 alphajoehill More lessons can be learned from Last Standing

Some lessons beyond those mentioned in the Episode Discussion following the post six days ago that is entitled “Their morals are starting to unravel. Strategy is taking over” can be learned despite the way that the episodes may have been structured, scripted, and edited.
One of those lessons is that everyone in a community would be far better off when resources are limited if they chose to share those limited resources. For example, it makes no sense for someone to have sole and exclusive ownership, possession, and use of two bows as a result of fortuitously finding them when a person can only use one bow at a time and that will unnecessarily require some to attempt to survive without having any use of a bow. Sharing the use of bows so that the maximum use of each bow is made will inevitably increase the total amount of meat that can be harvested, shared and eaten and that will reduce the likelihood that any or all of them will face unnecessary hunger.
Indeed, that is one of the very reasons why a group of huntegathers chooses to share the meat that one of them harvests especially when the amount of meat that has been harvested is more than that individual can consume before it spoils and becomes a total waste while others are going hungry. Another of those reasons is that everyone in such a group knows that it cannot be accurately predicted frequently enough which of them will have their hunting efforts adequately rewarded and how long it will be before the next time when the hunting efforts of a particular individual be successful. The members of such a group recognize that the group will be far better off if each of them does not have to individually bear the risk that their individual hunting efforts will continue to be unsuccessful.
The same could be said about sharing other kinds of productive resources such as fishing equipment that were fortuitously found. Indeed, the same could be said about sharing a particularly productive location such as one that includes a river, a grazing area, and the like instead of individuals attempting to enforce their purported rights to the exclusive ownership, possession, and use of such a location, which points to another lesson that can be learned.
That lesson is that attempting to enforce purported rights to the exclusive ownership, possession, and use of productive resources based on nothing more than a mere claim of having fortuitously found them leads to a Hobbesian world. Consider, for example, if Jeff did in fact choose to do more than just throw into the river the productive resources of other individuals in order to prevent those productive resources from being further used and to increase the likelihood that he, and no one else, will become the last one standing. For example, suppose he also chose to prevent anyone else from using a particularly productive location based on his claim that he had been the first to have found it in order to further increase that likelihood.
If the circumstances were not those of a mere game that has been contrived and actually involved who would and would not survive, then it appears certain that such an attempt would in fact lead to hostile actions that would cause much unnecessary suffering. Indeed, the actions of Jeff and others have already demonstrated that even in a contrived game of survival, individuals will begin to act as they would be expected act in a Hobbesian world.
If the circumstances were not those of a mere game that has been contrived and actually involved who would and would not survive, then it appears certain that such an attempt would in fact lead to hostile actions that would cause much unnecessary suffering because it led to the use bows and knives to prevent that from occurring. Indeed, the actions of Jeff and others have already demonstrated that even in a contrived game of survival, individuals will begin to act as they would be expected act in a Hobbesian world.
The Trail of Tears is merely just one example of the unnecessary suffering that has been caused by enforcement of purported rights to the exclusive ownership, possession, and use of productive resources. No period of history exists when it did not cause such or even greater unnecessary suffering.
