German for "over stallion," and a reference to Nietzsche's "Übermensch," /üb/ - Überhengst is about bettering yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. It is about self-improvement, constructive self-reflection, and seeking advice from others. You may discuss here those personal hobbies through which you develop your creative energies, and the efforts you take to improve your talents, artistic and otherwise. And of course, this is a board for fitness and literature, as they are parts of the backbone of physical and mental wellness. This is also a board where we may discuss Western culture - history, literature, architecture, and philosophy - as when imbibed, culture improves the mind and spirit, sharpening mental faculties, and providing a greater connection to those around you and to civilizations millennia old.
As this is a self-improvement board, discussions of personal problems should be constructive. No wallowing in self-pity. We are here to become better, and while seeking company in misery may be a helpful part of the process, the process does not end there.
Enjoy!
/ub/ - Überhengst

But that's just a negated form of "Combobulated", which please define in raw words?
Not saying you're wrong, but let me give you an idea of what I mean:
Stalwart - Brave; bold; strong; redoubted; daring; vehement; violent.
Discombobulate - To throw into a state of confusion. synonym: befuddle
The point being, the former is more of a concept described by a word, where the latter is a word to describe several concepts.
Both are valid as both words/concepts, but one is drastically more specific/precise than the other. Sophistry aside, the two couldn't be more separate.

>2000 Years ago Eristosthenes(sp) did his famous well experiment, determining NOT that the world was a ball (they knew that already, cuz they weren't retarded), but the approximate size.
Well, our good friend SciManDan has just such an idea in mind
In two days he is going to Captain a worldwide experiment with his viewers, simultaneously recreating Eristosthenese's experiment from ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
The data is to be compiled (using social media) into a data sheet that by all indications will give the most precise model for the specific volume of the planet.
Oh, and as an added bonus, it will be YET MORE proof that the Earth is - whatever shape it IS - is not flat

Well, what gets me is the unvalidated or even referenced assertion
>I believe is subtly whitepilled enough for your tastes. Having read the 5-page preview on Amazon, I wonder what it is about the book that the poster feels is expressly suitable for OP, and why the arbitrary criteria of 'subtly whitepilled'? If the author really wanted to draw interest to the book, shouldn't they consider at least posting the back cover spiel? Nah, this smells of artifice and blatant self-promotion.

I've recently gone back to a book I finished a long time ago.
I almost never read a book twice, and usually forget the title also BUT
Jack L Chalker, the Wonderland Gambit series, starting with the Cybernetic Walrus
It's the Maretrix long before who whozit brothers tried to tell the tale. It has a segment with herm centaurs, so there's that.

About a third of the way through. Can't say whether I actually like it or not yet, but something about it is haunting, and I feel it creep up on me when I'm alone. Not sure if it's actually going to build up to something, or if it's just going to wander through all the different protag's lives, as a snapshot of lost souls. Wouldn't mind either.

Reading A History of Roman Religion (1938).
tl;dr: post shit about how to machine or manufacture shit here. Being able to make shit makes you more of a man with bigger balls.
Lets start on the political side of manufacturing with a USA centric theme.
Once upon a time, USA was the best. It was the best because it allowed anyone to build anything they wanted and purchase anything they wanted. After all, things you own are tools, and tools are needed to survive. Why should the government put any kind of restrictions on tools needed to survive?
Well, over the years, that is exactly what they did, because the more difficult it is for you to survive with less (or incorrect) tools. The more difficult of a time you have surviving, and the less you can do something about the government.
The greatest of all these is the ability to make more tools or better tools. In the modern vernacular, this is called machining, manufacturing, fabricating, and a lot of others that are more industry specific. I suppose the second greatest ability is to be able to protect such things, but that is outside the scope of this shitpost.
Why is the ability to build [tools] important? Because it lets you, the invisible hand, be able to swiftly deal with governments (problems) how you see fit in ways that nobody can anticipate. Why do you think policies being pushed through has been moving businesses over seas? The government does not want you to know how to make shit. Workers unions have not been nice either, but as near as I can tell that is the result of a different symptom (greed). In either case, bureaucracy is a hindrance to market (you: the invisible hand’s) agility.
I could rant about all the stupid shit in various markets that result in what I already said, but instead I’d rather focus on shit that will make a better life for you. In general, focusing on the use of lathe and mill work. Lets start with the stupid basics.
Example of CNC lathe in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcGHtI9Lql4
Example of CNC mill in use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHstzxuryMk
Admittedly both examples are with machines that are a bit fancier than what might be typically found, but that does not change anything other than how many times a part is handled before it is finished.
Using a lathe is called turning a part. Using a mill is called milling a part. Turning and milling parts, along with some of the more exotic methods of cutting material (such as waterjet or EDM or centerless grinding machines), is called machining.
While I don’t follow the religion of safety (the reason why ppl are so worried about C-19 to begin with), there are certain things shat should be done or not done to keep all your limbs attached to your body. Things like leaving the chuck key in and walking away. Or wearing a long sleeve shirt and reaching around the quill of the mill while its on. Don’t be a dumbass and instead use that head attached to that white neck of yours.
What I’d like to do from time to time is post in here about various machining and manufacturing practices, tips, tricks, and methodology at large.
Remember though, its not about me, its about giving you the knowledge and tools to become richer yourself. If you have a question or something related, go ahead and post it.

There was this guy Norm, who was a millwright at a treatment plant.
What is it about guys named "Norm" being absurdly skilled, btw? Never has the guy named Norm been anything but the expert.
Anyway, he worked as a millwright just to give himself an income for a while, before going BACK to work as an underwater bridge welder, making 600k/year

Along the lines of vowels and pronuciation, German is one of the kinder languages (unlike english) were you pronouce the vowels the same way always, no matter the spelling or phrasing. Jà and Hàmmertzeit (the à) are both said the same.
A, E, I, O, and U are pronounced as Ah (as in autumn), Eh (as in ayyyy lmao), Ih ("if" I feel like it), Oh (Oh MY), and Uh (oooh!). If you're familiar, German is oddly identical to Japanese in that regard.
There are no 'silent' consonants OR vowels, EVERYTHING gets 'mention'. To the earlier example: Hammerzeit: Haa-mer-zite.
That wasn't the best example, as it involves multiple vowelsin conjunction,... but it DOES transition nicely (meaning, without hrt) into the next part which is all about the phrasing of multiple vowels. Ei is pronounced like "I" as in "I have a boner". Another fun one is Eu as in Freud (pronounced oi, as in "oi, you got a loicence for that meme).

i get what you mean
that is a good thing about a language learner to know if the word they are seeing or hearing are the same way that they can write it
english also has so many irregular pronunciations in constants as well such as
school - chalk /chuk/ /eskool/

i think one thing that makes german hard as a language is the long words or combinations of adjectives and nouns together , like suffix and prefixes

German Writing system
German is written using the Latin alphabet. In addition to the 26 standard letters, German has three vowels with Umlaut, namely ä, ö and ü, as well as a special symbol for "ss", which is only used after long vowels or diphthongs, the Eszett (ß).
<pic related
-----------------
Notes:
b = [ p ] at the end of a syllable or before s or t, [ b ] before a vowel
ch = [ χ ] after a, o or u, [ k ] when followed by a, o or u at the beginning of a word, [ ç ] elsewhere
d = [ t ] at end of a syllable or before s or t, [ d ] before a vowel
e = [ ə ] in unaccented syllables
g = [ k ] at end of a syllable or before s or t, [ g ] before a vowel, [ ʒ ] in some loanwords, ig = [ iç ]
h when appearing after a vowel, makes the vowel long, [ h ] elsewhere
j = [ ʒ ] in loan words, [ j ] elsewhere
r = [ɐ], e.g. fort [fɔɐt ] or silent, e.g. Haar [haː], between a vowel and a consonant, [ʁ] or [ʀ] elsewhere
s = [ z ] between vowels, [ ʃ ] before t or p at the beginning of words and [ s ] elsewhere
v = [ v ] in loan words
y = [ y ] in words derived from Greek, [ i ] or [ j ] elsewhere
dsch, ph, qu and y only appear in loan words

A little bit of introduction to german grammar
German is an inflected language. In contrast to Latin, the inflection sometimes affects not only the word ending but also its stem, making declension and conjugation slightly more difficult.
German nouns inflect into:
one of three declension classes;
one of three genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Word endings indicate some grammatical genders; others are arbitrary and must be memorized;
two numbers: singular and plural;
four cases: nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative case.
In the German orthography all nouns and most words that take the syntactical function of nouns are capitalized.
Verb inflection:
one of two conjugation classes, weak and strong. There are about 200 irregular verbs;
three persons;
two numbers: singular and plural;
three moods: Indicative, Conditional, Imperative;
two voices: active and passive; the passive being composed and dividable into static and dynamic;
2 non-composed tenses (Present, Preterite) and 4 composed tenses (Perfect, Plusquamperfect, Future I, Future II);
no distinction between aspects;
There are also a lot of ways to expand the meaning of a base verb through several prefixes.
The word order is much more flexible than in English. The word order can be changed for subtle changes of a sentence's meaning.

[Read more] German is an inflected language. In contrast to Latin, the inflection sometimes affects not only the word ending but also its stem, making declension and conjugation slightly more difficult.
German nouns inflect into:
one of three declension classes;
one of three genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Word endings indicate some grammatical genders; others are arbitrary and must be memorized;
two numbers: singular and plural;
four cases: nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative case.
In the German orthography all nouns and most words that take the syntactical function of nouns are capitalized.
Verb inflection:
one of two conjugation classes, weak and strong. There are about 200 irregular verbs;
three persons;
two numbers: singular and plural;
three moods: Indicative, Conditional, Imperative;
two voices: active and passive; the passive being composed and dividable into static and dynamic;
2 non-composed tenses (Present, Preterite) and 4 composed tenses (Perfect, Plusquamperfect, Future I, Future II);
no distinction between aspects;
There are also a lot of ways to expand the meaning of a base verb through several prefixes.
The word order is much more flexible than in English. The word order can be changed for subtle changes of a sentence's meaning.
