  • Trump is looking to push this into an armed conflict so he can invoke martial law and cancel the 2026 midterms. The only way to save democracy is to not fight. We can get the entrenched child rape apologists out of their seats and put in a class of politicians who will be scared of the raging public sentiment against Trump.

    As much as armed conflict sounds inviting, it would play to the strength of the bigger organization with better logistics so the People will lose that fight. And bashing ICE skulls doesn’t deter from other psychopaths looking to kill signing up with ICE. Hunt ICE where they sleep. Keep them from rest. Make them paranoid and scared from sheer exhaustion. Passive pacification will then trigger them to have an armed response which will massively polarize much of the People into dissolving ICE.

    A lot like chefs have a variety of knives or musicians have lots of instruments, each piece of gear is rated for a specific use. Level 4 plate is resistant to larger rifles while smaller armor ratings are for knives and pistols.

    And no matter where you live, shit is fucked right now. Either Trump or Putin is going to nuke something and the only civilized countries seem to be between them. Good luck in your civilized country while you have it!












  • Same! Digging into this wiki says (with source):

    Typically, once it reaches 25 years old, its thick bark can be harvested for cork every 9 to 12 years without causing harm to the tree.[4]

    The source is a Rainforest Alliance article from 2024: https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/species/cork-oak/

    Cork oak is unique in its ability to regenerate its outer bark. After a tree reaches 25 years of age, it can be stripped of its cork once every 9 to 12 years without causing damage to the tree. A single cork oak, which lives up to 200 years, can be harvested over 16 times.

    Cool thing I learned: harvested cork oak stores 5x as much carbon as unharvested. Get that cork!
