Where are the High Level Martial Artists/Fighters at?
Nungali replied to Goden's topic in The Rabbit Hole
We got lots of wild dogs here . Sometimes I hear them across the river at night in the forest . One crossed over the other night and nabbed a neighbors chicken ... that must have been a rare treat ! No other trouble though .- 163 replies

Sanity Check replied to Goden's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Not search engine. Amazon searching for body armor. There are so many knife attacks in places like the UK. I wondered if chain mail would be a good option for daily wear. If it could be worn underneath normal clothing comfortably. If daily body armor wear became standard. Why not wear other types of body armor. Maybe if the apocalypse happens, we'll all be wearing some type of body armor. To protect against wild dogs if nothing else.- 163 replies

and that is a perfect example of 'black school Gnosticism ' For me , the lesson in Ecclesiates is not to finish it ! The actual answer is not to have empires, wives, riches, etc etc It is to do a good hard days work that achieves something and at the end of the day to relax with a glass of wine (or whatever ) and contemplate the good works you have done that day . ( Ecc , 2:24 )

Don't ask Lairg about it then ! When all else is defeated .... " Look Ralis ! I just KNOW ... okay ! " First they start with language , a challenge , some theory and logic . When that is met or pointed out to be wrong , sometimes even in their own 'field' and explanation .... its a 'default position ' ... " I just KNOW I am right ... ok !" This the way of the world nowadays or they don't answer , and go off elsewhere to do it all over again . and they will get likes ... and you be unpop . (and I don't mean you will get younger ) But I ask ... what 'diamond clarity ' perception does one own ... where 'just knowing' is pure and not influenced by that very 'knowing apparatus', its development upbringing and conditioning , in the first place ? THAT would seem a mistake of denying ANY ego influence . .

Well ... you might ..... if 'commies' start swarming out your drain inlets ! ( I saw a movie with that in it once .... a Russian invasion that landed on the coast and soldiers went up all the drain and sewer outlets and emerged in peoples yards, parking lots ...... You might need guns like that ... you might need Chuck too !

Its effected some archaeology as well , especially in my area of specialty ; south Central Asia / ancient Margiana Archaeological Complex / BMAC / 'Oxus Civilisation' . Previously access was a little difficult , but one could 'play ball' with the Soviets , once you were 'in' you only had to deal with the central authority . Now one has to deal with Uzbekistan , Tajikistan and ( forget it ! ) Afghanistan to gain access to what was previously one area . (And it is just as bad the other way around .... back then one Soviet archaeologist specialist in that area was invited to USA for a conference . he was taken on sightseeing trip as well and like tourists do he was taking photo ... and talking in a Russian accent . later he got all messed up in some 'spy ' BS until his US counterpart professor bailed him out . ) And the most relevant parts ? Forget it ; aside from the difficulties of terrain isolation and weather ..... i the political / military situation there is near impossible . There has been one recent doco on it though ;

Possibly far north in the Volga Delta and then into the Central Steppe area . But that general area , especially to the south and into Ukraine had some of the largest human settlements of the time .... vast ! yet little known as they did not 'classify;' ( in the resent past ) as 'civilizations' . New Research Suggests Ukraine May Precede Mesopotamia as Home of First Cities

A joke from my Persian boss about being a new migrant and trying to understand English ; " A man rushes into hardware store ; " Quick, sell me potato clock ! " Assistant; " I'm sorry a what ? " " A potato clock ... quick ! Or my boss sack me .... I need job bad ." " Hang on I am not understanding you ... slow down and tell me what you want ?" " I don't understand , all new and confusing . My boss tell me quick I get a potato clock or I get the sack from new job, I don't understand please help me ! " " You better tell me the whole story, that might make it clear on what he wants . " " Yes, ok, very good ... my name is Massoud, I come from Iran , I have work visa . I get a nice flat nearby and luck, I also get good job, just around the corner , near flat, I can walk to work . I start work at 9 am , so easy, I get up 8:30 ... easy to make on time . But I want to look good for first day , so iron best clothes , have good shower, deodorant, shave , after shave , do hair ... shine shoes ... I get carried away ... turn up 9;10 . Boss very unhappy he ask 'Massoud ! I give you job and you turn up 10 minutes late on first day ! Why ?" So I explain to him what happened , how I get up 8;30 but it took too long as I want to make ready for a good impression and that's when boss say to me ; " Well Massoud , if you want to keep your job ... you better get a potato clock !

it has a dim view on life, e. g. Ecclesiastes 4:3, āBut better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.ā NT also e.g. āFor behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'". https://biblehub.com/text/luke/23-29.htm

Solomon supposedly suffered some form or degree of doubt that can twist into relative madness when he said, "vanity of vanities, all is vanity". Some background from the Bible below: "The phrase "vanity of vanities, all is vanity" from Ecclesiastes in the Bible" signifies the ultimate meaninglessness and futility of earthly pursuits and possessions. It suggests that worldly achievements, pleasures, and even wisdom, when viewed apart from a relationship with God, are ultimately empty and transient. The Hebrew word "hevel," often translated as "vanity," also means breath, vapor, or fleetingness, emphasizing the impermanence of worldly things." ...but I'd say that is not the end of that and or his story.....which one can see if reading further into Ecclesiastes.

Most of this area , aside from the coast has little development . The whole country is a bit like that . Many don't realize, including Aussies . Now we seem to have a mass of smaller National Parks all over the place . The green bits : Map Apps ! Some one registered their business at our address and wanted it located on Google maps . Now the map shows a star where that business is supposed to be ... its way up the back of the property in the wild, with no road or track to it ! The people that live in the last house 'up the back ' have an old logging track that goes behind their place up to the back ridge' . Sometimes they notice a car going up that should not be - meaning a nice, new clean low car ... that gets stuck . When asked why they were there , their satellite navigation directed them there to go to the business . And a weirder one . I was looking at a map and if I do a run up the mountain, out to the north east , cut across some forestry, national parks and farmland I can come down the highland and into Coffs Harbour at the north . yet on the map, the southern extent of Coffs harbor goes west . Why did it never expand a bit more, over that ridge into the next area and valley ? That valley runs north for ages , parallel to the coast . That whole area is closed access for everyone that lives there and getting farm produce out and supplies in , takes a long journey north up that valley , then around to the east to go down this road north of the city . A 1 km new road linking the two would make it a 10 minute trip . Maybe the map is confusing me , so I went to satellite map ... looks the same .... if one could just 'hop over that hill ' . So me being curious as I am went for a ride out there to check it out . So here is the gist ; when I get there ( from the city side ) .... the road ends and looking up a grass hill I see a tree line . That is where, on the map, it goes down the other side into this 'isolated valley ' , I am still flummoxed; 'Why did they never build that little bit of road ? Then coming back I see the property nearest to it has some paddocks with cows in it and driveway that goes up in that general direction and it has a big hand painted angry looking sign . 'private property , this is a driveway to my house NOT to the valley on the other side SAT NAV IS WRONG ! DO NOT enter . ' One gets the impression that several people have been directed by sat nav up there ,. So how did THAT get into the system ... did sat nav AI (or whatever the hell it is ) look at the map like I did and decide a road SHOULD be there ... so it 'is ' ? Weird ! I want nothing to do with it ! Once I had to drive a work van full of high tech very expensive camera equipment from Brisbane to Sydney ... half way the God dam thing is screaming at me that I have gone off road and driving through farmland , the map screen is flashing and you can see the road way over there away from the car . But my own senses are telling me I am driving down a four lane highway ! Its the beginning of the end I tell ya ! We need Magnus ! Damn AI sat nav BS ... take this ... and this ....

Georgian suitors (not all of them of course, but there's always something like trends...) are passionate and can go over the top at that, but there's a bit of a double standard regarding how they treat their own (pretty traditionally, at least it used to be the case) vs. "foreign" girls. Sorry to hear your landlady wasn't prepared for this turn of events and had to suffer. In middle school I was friends with a girl who was Georgian, Lali was her name, and she was very popular, perhaps the first girl to "wake up" our boys to the existence of girls, a coming of age thing. After the 8th grade the family moved back to Georgia, and some heart-wrenching letters followed -- Lali fell in love with an Ossetian (an ethnic and religious -- Muslim -- minority in Georgia) and her family demanded that she has nothing to do with him. It was a drama of many years that ended in their eloping I think and getting disowned by both families -- such a medieval story, I thought, so weird -- Lali was so modern, always on the cusp of fashion and trends... and voila.

Itās odd to think that the Brits were still pushing their weight around less than 100 years ago. When you look at us now you have to wonder how that was even possible. Shows how mighty empires come crashing down - quite quickly and easily (a warning for America). I used to have a landlady who was besotted by a Georgian boy and used to go there to go āwalkingā with him. He threw her over for a very young ādoll likeā girl with whom he planned to have many children. She was devastated and her behavior became increasingly erratic. She is a fairly famous playwright and has a wiki page so I wonāt mention her name. Looking at the map (in a very superficial assessment) Georgia, Armenian and Azerbaijan look like a fault line between the great powers of Iran, Turkey and the Russian empire. So probably not a restful place I would guess. My neighbour is quite fond of Putin by the way - so I guess he likes a bit of a strong man in charge.
