I've been aware of FSP, for I think 15 years.
Missing aspects of FSP the top of my head:
1) Personal mentorship - in FSP you are on your own.Yes, you can potentially find friends or acquaintances but that leaving thing to complex and fortuitous social dynamics. In the group dynamics that I'm suggesting, you will have designated people - for life.
2) A stress on 'right' kind of people. For FSP the primary qualifying criteria is that you ought to be libertarian. In what I'm suggesting a lot more is required, for example you HAVE to work on projects and interact heavily with others.
3) FSP has hippie vibe to it - not that of undertaking serious projects, I would think that the crowd that it attracts probably won't think of 'curing' cancer a project that they would consider. Mine would. ( And just for the records - I like the hippies, just as one would like children, but their ability to be mature is in question)

Have you looked into the Free State Project at all? You ought to check out the Porcupine Freedom Festival.

Basically the same scam that was pulled with inflation in the 80s and 90s or with the peak daily temperatures refusing to agree with the models so they switch to “feels like.”

Zappers with this batch, especially those last two. I hear you, gharkness, me too! Still laughing, have already shared with the ones who appreciate them. After the crazy day I've had, your memes are a perfect way to end the day--laughing out loud. Thanks again, ouc!

Indeed! Fortunately, I avoid crowds like the plague, but I getcha!

Bring a large jar and a personal tent, just in case!

For the ELITES trying to kill us off, starve us to death, and enslave those that can survive...

NOTHING.

For us peasants. Starvation, Owning Nothing, A Slaves Existence... But most definitely NOT BEING HAPPY!

Scary STUPID stuff.

I would say if I can't have a vehicle, then the politicians won't have them either!

Near me state subsidized solar farms are now covering acres of perfectly good farmland. What could possibly go wrong?

Anyone remember "The Andromeda Strain"? It ate the plastic gaskets expected to contain it.

I used to say a plastic bottle tossed out a car window may be unsightly, but it has no more impact on the planet than a rock. Now it seems it has a far less impact than a rock.

At a conference I was at yesterday, one of the speakers was discussing using bacteria to break down PET. Fascinating timing.

States and cities near me have started outlawing non-"renewable" energy. Starting next year, gas-fueled appliances like lawnmowers or generators will be illegal to possess. People with gas or oil powered heating will have to have it removed, and electric will be limited to heat pumps. Fireplaces and wood stoves will be banned too. Already there is a moratorium on building new gas stations; vehicles in California will soon be limited to EVs.

The point of which is (1) to make it super-expensive to have your own vehicle (legislators and the rich will get to have them, you won't) and (2) to limit home heating and appliances to run on electricity only, thus enabling the statists to surveil and micromanage all your energy use and turn off your things whenever they want.

Enough is enough. This has to stop.

Oh goodness....that first one - that is so MEEEEE!

LOL. It used to be a Late Night (Letterman) thing.

Headlines from the future. My favorites were:
- $100K starting salary for Nintendo Players
and
- Oat Bran... The Silent Killer

The latter one really nails it. Because what we think is "great" (like LOW-FAT) can turn out to HARM people in the future.

It reminds me to think ahead. Also, there is some truth to the land becoming brittle. A (gone) friend got his PhD and worked with the Japanese on Earthquake prediction, using this as the basis of their research, and it was panning out very well...
Crazy!

Move to NYC
Thanks, OUC. 👍

Premise for sci-fi novel?

Had to comment. Quite Awesome Collection.

Seeing other siblings...

Her response:
"You never know..."

"But that's because we can't know. We haven't figured out that incest is bad, and marrying first cousins is wrong..."

Yeah, I don't know what to believe any more.
Because I know there are so many lies.

Elon Musk made the comment... Take 3 Mile Island, and convert it to solar, it would produce more power.

I am stunned he said that. It cannot possibly be true.

Not to mention... Praying for no Hail Storms.
And "For how long"...

That said, they are finally advancing the technology pretty well. But I still can't believe.

Besides, I imagine this HEADLINE in 2185

The Earth is Dying b/c Too many Solar Farms...

... Effectively we didn't know the Earth itself needed the heat from the direct sunlight to avoid becoming brittle and THIS Explains the high frequency of earthquakes everywhere...

LOL

The praying mantis one was my favorite.

Very True. Thank you John McCain.... But at least they tried. It will be interesting to see how many of the promises that Mamdani made will even be tried.

The entire point of government is that politicians lie to get elected and the people never knew what they were really going to get.
Example: GOP promised to kill Obamacare to get elected.

And then this morning (11/7), Mamdani and his handlers come out with all of the things that have to change immediately when he is sworn in - disassociate everything NYC does/has that associates in any way with Israel. NYPD training with IDF, any investments with any company that does business with Israel.....and so much more. And this is the city with the most Jews outside of Israel?? Do they realize what they have just done to themselves?

Not to mention, solar and windmills are horrific for the environment, never mind Whales and Birds.

New Yorkers will enjoy their choice especially well when Muslims throw down prayer rugs in the busiest streets and avenues five time a day, weather permitting of course. At least there will be plenty of city wide loud bellowing in Arabic preceding the events to warn everyone of what's coming.

...and the sooner the better.
