	Ai driven fighting machines and various robots are a reality, and depending on their programming something like "Skynet" could become a factor and not just sci-fi...
 - 
	if pepper spray works on grizzlies maybe it would work on gators?
 - 
	there are tips on how to properly use your iron skillet with skill, along with related iron palm training that one can practice in the comfort of their own kitchen... (which is good if using skillet as a weapon of for cooking)
 - 
	the evolution of tool users? (has pros and cons)
 - 
	cats would eat the cheese but probably not the cauliflower...unless straving.
 - 
	like trained or acquired muscle memory for certain physical actions/reactions without the slower process of only thinking through a task...also our instinctive type actions or reactions. Btw, some folks have trained and acquired a lot verbal muscle memory in their mouths, lol sometimes.
 - 
	being somewhat of a gear head your post also translates to me in the sense of a V-8 engine that is designed, built and tuned up very well, and for that to happen all of its parts must work together resulting in good power at the crankshaft which is then hooked to a transmission and the rest of the drive train and finally to the tires where the rubber meets the road...wa-la. (alas, most internal combustion engines lose a lot of energy in various forms like heat, friction and moving their inherent weight around thus the never ending and creative engineering efforts to greatly reduce such losses!)

				Jesus and the Ironic Nature of Victory and Defeat
old3bob replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
surely you are not forgetting the subtle and not subtle examples throughout the past couple of thousand years of how evil has often co-opted Christianity for its purposes? ....(and which Jesus saw coming way ahead of time) - 
	hmm, then again thoughts can be like a viscous circle if one can never take a rest from them...we are not thoughts we are really more the energy flowing through thought forms that come and go...granted it is great to have things/thoughts controlled/organized as much as possible.

	"No, you should not remove barnacles from sea creatures yourself unless you are a trained professional. Improper removal can cause pain, stress, and serious harm to the animal, including skin and shell damage that can lead to infection. If a creature has a heavy infestation, it likely indicates an underlying health issue, and the best action is to contact a local marine wildlife rescue or veterinary professional for safe and appropriate treatment." agreed
 - 
	real problems include creatures hurting other creatures past what could called be natural balances, like that algae bloom regardless of its causes.
 - 
	"right" there was a lot of bumbling Ai or other fake editing in that video but it was also in the spirit of pointing at some the suffering of various sea creatures which mankind sometimes helps mitigate, which I say is not to be dismissed out of hand. (and not all of it was Ai created, thus was mixed in with some obviously real photos)
 - 
	not to worry, being that if or when the atomic bombs fall most of us and the natural world will be vaporized, thus our almighty intellects, profound achievement's or "non-duality" sayings will not be enough to hold back the karma we have made. Btw., and in that case the gods and masters won't be able to protect all of us or other life forms, including many of our families, friends, associates and young kids in the world from horrific suffering, granted some folks will be lifted up for long-time sojourns in nice astral worlds per their karma... in the meantime after (?) who knows how many years the Earth will finally be purified and recovered and then spiritualized souls will finally be able to come back here. A side note: the old time dictators like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and a hundred others are "small fry" compared to the demon of the 7th hell now at the gates. "Fear not" still holds true but is a very long ways down the tunnel...Take care during this dark night until the morning sun shines.

	didn't know this about black cats. (sorry Apech, looks like your white fur dna could change for the better? ) We had a pure black cat for years, she was an excellent cat!
 - 
	looks like they had some special release agents/soaps besides the water sprays and several other tools to help loosen all those gobs of barnacle type plants from the whales and other animals skin... (yes, apparently the monk seal is almost extinct, except for this one !?)
