#cyberpunkcoltoure - Mind Set

I was wondering. Mike Sommerfeld is in his prep diet and he says it kicks hard. To the best of my knowledge that means he is not only tired, but suffers from fatigues and has a lot of hunger. Therefore I is moving much less weight than normal. His muscles are build at that stage and he now reduces the body fat level into dangerous levels of about 6% lower minimum.
Now my thought. If they'd monitor his body temperature precisely they might find that the temperature is too low. That is dangerous. If he'd spread over the day would intake sugars, like glucose the body had immediate fuel to burn and body temperature would increase, the fatigues would decrease and he had more strength at the weights thereby increasing his fat burn, but in a healtier way.
What you think about that theory? 

 

Your theory is actually half right, and it touches on real physiology.

During a hard contest-prep diet, especially when carbs and calories are low, a lot of people do experience:

- low body temperature
- extreme fatigue
- poor training performance
- hunger
- reduced thyroid output / metabolic adaptation
- low muscle glycogen

So if Mike Sommerfeld says prep “kicks hard,” that’s not surprising. At very low body fat, the body starts defending itself: T3 drops, leptin drops, sympathetic nervous system activity goes down, and body temperature can fall. That low temperature is not necessarily acute hypothermia, but it’s a sign that the body is downregulating energy expenditure.

Your idea is: what if he took small amounts of glucose/sugar through the day to give immediate fuel, raise body temperature, reduce fatigue, and improve training so he burns more fat?

That could partly work, but I don’t think it’s the optimal version.

### Why your idea makes sense
Glucose/carbs can:

- restore muscle glycogen
- improve training performance and strength
- reduce perceived fatigue
- increase diet-induced thermogenesis slightly
- transiently raise body temperature via insulin, carbohydrate oxidation, and sympathetic 

   activity

So if someone is training horribly and feels cold and weak, adding carbs **around training** can absolutely help. Many bodybuilders use intra-workout carbs like cyclic dextrin, Gatorade-style glucose, or rice-based shakes during prep for exactly this reason.

### Why spreading sugar all day is probably not ideal
If he constantly sips glucose all day, insulin stays elevated. That can:

- suppress fat oxidation
- reduce lipolysis
- potentially increase hunger later via blood sugar swings
- blunt the fat-loss signal he’s trying to create

Also, if those sugars are added on top of his current calories, the deficit shrinks. If they replace protein or fat, that could hurt muscle retention or hormones. So all-day sugar may not actually increase fat burn; it may just shift fuel preference toward glucose and away from fat.

### A better version of your theory
Instead of spreading sugar all day, I’d use carbs strategically:

- pre-workout carbs for strength
- intra-workout carbs for performance
- post-workout carbs for recovery
- occasional refeed days or higher-carb days to restore thyroid/leptin and body temperature

Monitoring morning body temperature is actually a useful low-tech marker. If it’s consistently low, that’s a sign the deficit is too aggressive or carbs are too low. But the solution is usually not constant sugar; it’s more total food, more carbs around training, better sleep, or a short diet break/refeed.

### Bottom line
Your theory has a real mechanistic basis: low body temp and fatigue in prep are signs of low energy availability and metabolic adaptation, and glucose can transiently help. But all-day sugar is probably not the best tool because it can blunt fat oxidation and make the final fat loss harder.

The smarter version would be: use glucose/carbs around training and monitor body temperature, strength, mood, and performance. If temperature is dropping too much, the answer is usually more food or a refeed, not constant sugar.

At 6% body fat or lower, the body is fighting back hard. That’s why he feels terrible. Some of that is normal for contest prep, but extreme cold and weakness can also mean the deficit is too aggressive.

 

I actually thought of hooking him up to a constant body temperature measuring device on a clinical research level and feeding that into a spreadsheet, to be honest.

 

That’s actually a much more interesting version of the idea, because now you’re talking about using continuous physiological data to guide nutrition, rather than just guessing.

If you hooked Mike Sommerfeld up to a research-grade continuous core temperature monitor and logged it into a spreadsheet, I think you’d see some clear patterns:

- Lower baseline waking temperature as prep deepens  
- Blunted post-meal thermogenesis  
- Drops on low-carb/low-calorie days  
- Worse temperature recovery after training  
- Possibly lower overnight minimums  

That would be a real signal of metabolic suppression, and it might show up before he “feels” terrible.

But there are some practical and scientific issues.

### Core vs skin temperature matters
Continuous measurement sounds easy, but skin temperature is heavily confounded by room temperature, sweat, blood flow to skin, clothing, etc. It’s not a reliable proxy for metabolic rate.

To do it properly, you’d want something like:

- an ingestible core temperature pill  
- a rectal or esophageal probe — not practical for daily life  
- or at minimum a high-quality tympanic/oral thermometer taken under strict conditions  

The ingestible sensor plus a data logger would be the “clinical research” version, but it’s expensive, uncomfortable, and probably overkill for prep.

### What the data would likely show
In a depleted state, body temperature is usually lower, especially in the morning. That’s partly due to:

- reduced T3/thyroid output  
- lower sympathetic nervous system activity  
- less diet-induced thermogenesis  
- low glycogen and low insulin  
- less total energy expenditure  

If he then consumed glucose, you’d probably see a temporary rise in temperature. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s burning more fat. It may just mean he’s burning more glucose and generating heat.

So the spreadsheet might look promising — temperature goes up after sugar — but you have to be careful interpreting it. A rise in body temperature after carbs is not the same as an increase in fat loss.

### A more useful version of your idea
Instead of constant sugar, the data could tell you when and how much carbohydrate is actually needed to keep temperature, performance, and recovery from collapsing.

For example, you could track:

- waking temp  
- pre-training temp  
- post-training temp  
- post-meal temp rise  
- evening temp  
- sleep minimum  

If waking temp drops below a certain threshold for several days, or if post-meal temp rise disappears, that might be a signal to increase carbs, take a refeed, or reduce training stress.

You could even combine it with:

- continuous glucose monitor  
- heart rate variability  
- sleep data  
- training load  
- subjective hunger/mood/fatigue scores  

That would give you a much fuller picture than temperature alone.

### But would it change the outcome?
Honestly, I think it would mostly confirm what experienced coaches already suspect: at very low body fat, the body is running cold, tired, and metabolically downregulated. Strategic carbs around training and periodic refeeds help, but all-day sugar would probably blunt fat oxidation and make the final condition worse.

So your monitoring idea is cool, and in a research setting I’d love to see that dataset. But in the real world, I think the takeaway would be:

> Use the temperature trend to know when to pull back or refeed, not as a reason to sip glucose constantly.

That’s the smarter version of the theory.

 heavily confounded by room temperature, sweat, blood flow to skin, clothing, etc. He is an elite bodybuilder and I assume the AC in his Gym is of research bio laboratory grade. Then, the rest is very important in his profession. Sweat and blood flow. The recording might give indirect feedback. What is the most reasonable sensor? One at the ear?
I wondered if sugars in low dose could push up quickly the temperature and limit the fatigues. They also would have to measure the fat amount, daily. So, it is a combination of data anyway.

 

 That’s a more refined version of the idea, and I think you’re moving in a direction that would actually be useful in a sports science/research setting.

### Most reasonable continuous temperature sensor?
For practical daily use in an athlete:

1. **Core temperature pill**  
   - Ingestible sensor, e.g. CorTemp or e-Celsius.  
   - True core temperature, logs to a device.  
   - Gold standard for continuous core temp in field research.  
   - But expensive, requires replacement, gut transit time varies, not ideal for daily prep.

2. **Heat-flux skin sensor, e.g. CORE body temp monitor**  
   - Worn on the chest or upper arm.  
   - Uses heat-flux algorithms to estimate core temperature from skin temperature and heat flow.  
   - Not as accurate as a rectal/pill sensor, but validated well enough in athletes.  
   - This is probably the most realistic continuous option outside a lab.

3. **Ear/tympanic sensor**  
   - Infrared tympanic spot checks are okay if standardized.  
   - Continuous ear-canal thermistors exist, but they are awkward during training, sweat can affect them, and ear movement loosens contact.  
   - So “one at the ear” is reasonable for spot checks, but not the best for continuous logging during hard training.

So if I were doing this, I would use a **CORE-style heat-flux patch** for continuous trend data, plus a morning oral/tympanic spot check under controlled conditions. That combo is practical and gives you enough signal.

### Does low-dose sugar quickly raise temperature and reduce fatigue?
 

Yes, mechanistically it can.

Small amounts of glucose or fast carbs can:

- raise blood glucose and insulin modestly  
- increase carbohydrate oxidation  
- increase diet-induced thermogenesis slightly  
- improve central nervous system drive  
- reduce perceived fatigue  
- restore a little muscle glycogen  

That often shows up as a small rise in core temperature and better training performance.

But the key word is **targeted**, not continuous.

If the sugar is low-dose and timed around training, it can:

- improve strength and volume  
- reduce fatigue  
- help maintain training intensity  
- possibly preserve more muscle during prep  

If it’s spread all day, even in low doses, you risk:

- chronically elevated insulin  
- suppressed fat oxidation  
- blunted lipolysis  
- less total fat loss over time  

So your instinct is right that glucose can push temperature up and reduce fatigue. The question is whether that translates into better fat loss or just better carbohydrate burning.

---

### Daily fat measurement
 

Daily body fat measurement is tricky.

Methods like BIA/scales change too much with:

- hydration  
- glycogen  
- sodium  
- gut content  
- skin temperature  

DEXA is more accurate but not practical daily, and even DEXA has hydration-related variation.

A better daily combo would be:

- morning body temperature  
- continuous glucose monitor  
- resting heart rate / HRV  
- training performance  
- hunger and fatigue scores  
- waist circumference or skinfold trend  
- body weight trend  

That dataset would tell you very quickly whether low-dose glucose is helping performance and recovery without slowing fat loss.

---

### Bottom line

Your idea is actually a solid research-style concept:

- continuous core temp  
- low-dose glucose pulses  
- daily objective monitoring  
- fat-loss tracking  

But the practical takeaway would probably be:

> Use low-dose glucose around training, not all day. Let temperature, performance, and fat-loss trend decide whether it’s helping.

If his temperature is crashing and he feels destroyed, a small carb pulse before training might be exactly what he needs. But if his body temp rises yet fat loss stalls, then the sugar is just acting as a preferential fuel, not improving the actual goal.

# BLACKOUT PROTOCOL

## Chapter One: The Ledger

The rain in Saint-Denis didn't fall anymore. It *arrived*—horizontal, angry, carrying microplastics from the dead Mediterranean and the ash of a thousand wildfires. It hit the corrugated steel of the buried container like small-arms fire, a constant drumbeat that had become the soundtrack of the Collapse.

Kade adjusted the IR filter on his cracked goggles and watched the street through a periscope made from a repurposed endoscope and a bicycle mirror. The Rue de la République was a river of chemical runoff and desperation. Three blocks down, the old skateboard shop—now a fortified emporium selling thousand-euro decks to the children of the Parisian elite—glowed with stolen grid power. Armed guards in their clean tactical gear. Climate-controlled interior. A world he used to inhabit, before the numbers on his CYBi ledger started meaning more than the numbers in his bank account.

"Two patrols in the last hour," he said into the throat mic. "Private security. Looks like Meridian Group. They've upgraded since the last hit."

The voice that crackled back was filtered through seventeen layers of encryption and a decade of chain-smoking. Maks, from the Blackpool cell, currently operating out of a buried shipping container beneath what used to be a seaside amusement arcade. "Meridian's been buying up local muscle since the food riots. Their contractors are ex-Gendarmerie, some Legion. You sure about this one?"

Kade looked at the pallet of supplies behind him. Fused filament for the 3D printers. Industrial servo motors scavenged from a flooded Renault factory. Enough antibiotics to treat a small army, liberated from a burning pharmacy in the Ninth District. And a single case of synthetic opioid blockers—the antidote to the cheap synth drugs that had turned half of Europe into walking corpses.

"Ledger's balanced," Kade said. "We need what they have. They don't need what we're taking."

The CYBi ledger. A blockchain that ran on solar-powered nodes buried in gardens from Glasgow to Naples. Every contribution recorded. Every withdrawal tracked. A parallel economy that had started as a community mutual aid project and had become something else entirely when the nation-states collapsed and the climate went exponential.

Now it was the only economy that mattered.

---

The hit went down at 0300, during the shift change when the guards were thinking about their next dose of synth-bliss and the rain was loud enough to cover any sound short of an explosion.

Kade moved first, his skateboard shoes modified with recycled tire rubber gripping the wet pavement. Behind him, three others—Djibril from the Saint-Denis cell, a former parkour traceur who could scale a building faster than most people could walk up stairs; Lena, a welder from Hamburg who could cut through reinforced steel with a tool she'd built from a salvaged industrial laser; and Maks' crew from Blackpool, hard men and women who'd learned urban warfare in the ruins of England's coastal towns.

They hit the service entrance with a shaped charge Lena had manufactured from fertilizer and old plumbing. The explosion was precise, surgical—a shaped wave that blew the lock inward without collapsing the wall. Kade was through the smoke before the debris settled, a modified Kalashnikov raised, the wooden stock carved with symbols only network members understood.

"Security room's on the second floor," he said into the mic. "Djibril, you're with me. Lena, Maks—you know what to do."

The next forty-five minutes were a blur of tactical movement and controlled violence. The guards, hopped up on stims and complacency, never stood a chance. Kade took three down with precise bursts—leg shots, not kills, because the ledger didn't reward unnecessary death. Djibril cleared the upper levels like a ghost, his movements so fluid they seemed choreographed. Lena cut through the storage vault with her laser, the smell of vaporized steel filling the air.

And Maks' crew loaded the goods into the waiting vehicles—an electric cargo van with solar panels on the roof, two bicycles with trailers, and an old motorcycle with a sidecar that had been modified to run on biofuel.

By 0400, they were gone, disappearing into the network of abandoned tunnels and buried containers that ran beneath the city like a second, secret circulatory system.

---

## Chapter Two: The Network

The Blackpool cell's main hub was a masterwork of salvage engineering. Three shipping containers, buried twenty feet below what had once been a parking lot, connected by tunnels reinforced with concrete and rebar. The walls were lined with hydroponic gardens growing vegetables under UV lights. A workshop in one corner was dedicated to 3D printing—replacement parts, tools, prosthetics for members who'd lost limbs in the chaos. Another section held the kitchen, where a rotating crew of volunteers turned scavenged supermarket waste and greenhouse produce into meals that fed the entire cell.

The CYBi ledger was displayed on a wall-mounted screen made from a salvaged television. Every transaction glowed green in the dim light.

**KAJI [SAINT-DENIS]: +45 CYBi (logistics)**
**LENA [HAMBURG]: +30 CYBi (fabrication)**
**DJIBRIL [SAINT-DENIS]: +30 CYBi (security)**
**MAKS [BLACKPOOL]: +50 CYBi (coordination)**

And the goods they'd taken—the filament, the motors, the antibiotics, the opioid blockers—were already listed in the network's internal marketplace.

**3D PRINTER FILAMENT (1KG): 12 CYBi**
**SERVO MOTOR (INDUSTRIAL): 45 CYBi**
**ANTIBIOTICS (COURSE): 25 CYBi**
**OPIOID BLOCKERS (CASE): 200 CYBi**

"What's the status on the Paris cell?" Kade asked, stripping off his wet clothes and accepting a bowl of hot stew from a volunteer who'd earned 3 CYBi for her shift.

Maks pulled up a map on the main screen. "They're holding. But the fascists are pushing hard. The old money's getting desperate—they're losing their cheap labor as more people join the network. They're calling us terrorists now, trying to turn public opinion."

"Public opinion," Lena snorted, cleaning her laser with careful precision. "Half the city's starving while they sit in their climate-controlled towers. The other half's strung out on synth-bliss because it's cheaper than food. What public is left to have an opinion?"

Kade ate his stew in silence, thinking about the ledger. About what it meant. About how far they'd come from the early days, when it had been a legal mutual aid project, a way for low-income communities to access travel, food, and training without cash.

That was before the Collapse. Before the nation-states fractured and the climate went exponential. Before the rich retreated to their fortified enclaves and left everyone else to die.

Now the network was something else. Something harder. Something that had to steal to survive, to fight to protect itself, to kill when necessary.

But it still ran on the same principles. Contribution, not cash. Community, not competition. A closed-loop economy where the only currency was what you gave to others.

"New recruits coming in from Rotterdam tomorrow," Maks said, interrupting his thoughts. "They're bringing schematics for a water purification system. Should be worth at least 200 CYBi to the network."

"How many?"

"Seven. All vetted. All sober. Some of them used to be part of the skate crews there—before the fascists burned their park and sold the land to developers."

Kade nodded. Skaters, traceurs, climbers, martial artists—the network had always attracted people whose bodies were their primary tools. In a world where most of the population was either starving, drugged, or both, being sober and physically capable was a superpower.

"Get them integrated," he said. "And someone needs to check on the Saint-Denis contractor—the one who makes the reinforced boots. He took shrapnel during the last hit and he's owed 30 CYBi for the work he did before he got hurt."

"Already handled," Maks said. "His account's been credited and I sent Djibril to deliver some of the antibiotics. Should keep the infection from setting in."

The ledger updated again. Kade watched the numbers shift, the CYBi moving from the network's treasury to the injured contractor's account. It was a small thing, in the grand chaos of the world. But it was something.

It was everything.

---

## Chapter Three: The Enemy

The next morning, Kade met with the Blackpool cell's intelligence officer, a former cybersecurity analyst named Priya who'd lost everything in the London floods and had rebuilt herself into something far more dangerous.

"Meridian Group's put a bounty on your head," she said, projecting images onto the wall. "Half a million euros. Dead or alive."

Kade studied the images. His own face, captured on a security camera during the raid. Lena's too. Djibril's. Maks'.

"That's a lot of money for a bunch of thieves," he said.

"You're not just thieves. You're a threat to the entire system." Priya pulled up a different set of images—news articles, government statements, corporate memos. "The network's growing. Every city, every town, every neighborhood where the old economy has failed and ours has stepped in. They're calling it a terrorist organization now. The Saint-Denis cell is 'a violent criminal enterprise engaged in systematic looting and the destabilization of legitimate commerce.'"

"Legitimate commerce," Lena said, her voice dripping with contempt. "Selling thousand-euro skateboards to rich kids while people starve in the streets. That's legitimate."

Priya shrugged. "Legitimacy is whatever the people with guns say it is. And right now, the people with guns are very, very concerned about what we're doing."

Kade thought about the early days of the network. The legal shops in Blackpool and Saint-Denis, the CYBi currency, the community meals, the tool libraries. It had been beautiful, in its way. A small rebellion against the tyranny of cash.

But the world had changed. The nation-states had collapsed. The climate had gone exponential—heatwaves that killed thousands in a week, floods that swallowed entire cities, fires that burned for months. The rich had retreated to their fortified enclaves, leaving everyone else to fight over the scraps.

And in that chaos, the network had adapted. Had grown harder. Had started taking what it needed instead of waiting for permission.

"Who's leading the response?" Kade asked.

"Local authorities, for now. But there are rumors of corporate backing. Meridian's been buying up security contracts across Europe—they see the Collapse as an opportunity, not a tragedy. And they've got access to military-grade hardware."

"So do we," Maks said, gesturing at the walls lined with automatic weapons, ammunition, and explosives. Most of it had been taken from rioted police stations and abandoned military bases. Some of it had been manufactured in network workshops, built from salvaged parts and the kind of technical knowledge that couldn't be bought with cash.

"Hardware isn't the issue," Priya said. "It's numbers. They can recruit from the desperate, the hungry, the addicted. Promise them food, shelter, a little cash, and they'll fight for anyone. We can't match that."

"Then we don't fight them on their terms," Kade said. "We don't need to win a war. We just need to keep the network alive. Keep the ledger balanced. Keep feeding people, healing people, teaching people. Every person who joins us is one less person they can use against us."

He stood, stretching his scarred limbs. Outside, the rain continued to fall, a constant reminder of the world they'd inherited.

"The fascists can hide behind their walls and call us terrorists. But we're the ones building something real. Something that survives. When their world finally burns to ash, we'll still be here, in the tunnels and the buried containers, growing food and printing tools and teaching kids how to fall without breaking their bones."

He looked at the ledger, glowing green in the darkness.

"That's the revolution. Not guns. Not bombs. Just a different way of counting what matters."

---

## Chapter Four: The Fall

But even revolutions need to defend themselves.

Three days later, the Blackpool cell came under attack.

It started at dawn, with a drone strike on one of the surface entrances. The explosion shook the buried containers, sending dirt and debris raining down on the hydroponic gardens. Kade was already moving, grabbing his weapon and shouting orders.

"Everyone to defensive positions! Djibril, take the north tunnel! Lena, get the children to the safe room!"

The attack came from all sides. Meridian Group's contractors, backed by local fascist militias, had found the cell's location—probably through a captured member, someone who'd broken under torture or been compromised by synth-addiction. They were using military tactics, coordinated attacks on multiple entrances, trying to overwhelm the defenders with sheer numbers.

But the network had prepared for this. The tunnels were booby-trapped with homemade explosives. The entrances were reinforced with steel plates and concrete. And the defenders—skaters, traceurs, climbers, fighters—were faster, more agile, and more motivated than any hired gun.

Kade moved through the tunnels like a ghost, his movements honed by years of skating the empty pools and abandoned buildings of his youth. He knew every corner, every blind spot, every place where the enemy might try to flank. He fired in controlled bursts, conserving ammunition, making every shot count.

Beside him, Djibril flowed through the darkness, his parkour training making him nearly impossible to hit. He climbed walls, vaulted obstacles, and appeared behind enemy positions with terrifying speed. His knife was silent, his movements efficient.

Lena had set up her laser in a choke point, cutting through enemy armor and equipment with surgical precision. The smell of vaporized metal and burning flesh filled the tunnels.

And Maks—old, grizzled Maks—was coordinating the defense from the command center, his voice calm and steady over the comms, directing reinforcements and calling out enemy positions.

The battle lasted three hours. When it was over, seventeen attackers lay dead in the tunnels. Three network members had been wounded. One had been killed—a young traceur from Rotterdam who'd arrived only days before, caught by a lucky shot during the initial assault.

His name was Bram. He was nineteen years old. His final contribution to the network was recorded in the ledger: **BRAM [ROTTERDAM]: +15 CYBi (security)**, with a note that his balance would be distributed to his family if any survived.

Kade stood over the body, his face grim. The rain had finally stopped, but the sky was still gray, choked with ash and pollution.

"They'll be back," Maks said, joining him. "With more men, more weapons. They know where we are now."

Kade nodded. "Then we move. We've got other locations. Other cells. The network's bigger than any single place."

"The gardens—"

"Salvage what you can. The seeds, the equipment. We can rebuild. We've done it before."

He looked at the ledger on the command center screen. The numbers glowed green, a record of every contribution, every exchange, every act of mutual aid that had kept the network alive through the Collapse.

"Bram's death goes in the ledger," he said. "And we keep fighting. Not for territory. Not for power. For this."

He gestured at the screen, at the complex web of transactions that connected the network from Glasgow to Naples, from Rotterdam to Saint-Denis. A parallel economy built on contribution and trust, running beneath the surface of a dying world.

"For the idea that people can take care of each other without asking permission from the rich or the powerful. For the idea that value isn't just what someone will pay for it, but what someone will give for it. For the idea that even in the middle of all this chaos, we can build something that works."

Maks nodded slowly. "The ledger balances."

"It always does," Kade said. "That's the point."

---

## Chapter Five: The Ledger

They moved the cell over the next three days, transporting equipment and supplies through the network of tunnels and abandoned infrastructure that connected their hidden locations. The gardens were dismantled, the workshops packed up, the weapons and ammunition distributed among the members.

The new location was an old cold war bunker beneath what had been a municipal park, sealed for decades and forgotten by the authorities. It was damp and cold, but it was secure, and it had enough space to house the entire cell.

Kade stood in the main chamber, watching as the members worked together to set up the hydroponics and the workshop. A young woman from the Rotterdam cell was teaching a group of children how to solder circuit boards. An old man from Glasgow was repairing a solar panel with parts scavenged from a nearby junkyard. Volunteers were cooking a meal in the kitchen, the smell of stew filling the air.

The ledger was being updated on a salvaged tablet, the green numbers reflecting off the concrete walls.

**CELL RELOCATION [BLACKPOOL → BUNKER 17]: COMPLETE**
**BRAM [ROTTERDAM]: MEMORIAL CONTRIBUTION +50 CYBi**
**KAJI [SAINT-DENIS]: +45 CYBi (logistics)**
**LENA [HAMBURG]: +30 CYBi (fabrication)**
**DJIBRIL [SAINT-DENIS]: +30 CYBi (security)**

Kade watched the numbers shift, thinking about what they represented. Not money. Not profit. Just people, taking care of each other, in the only way that mattered.

A voice crackled over the comms. It was Priya, reporting from her monitoring station.

"Meridian's pulling back," she said. "They're regrouping. The attack on Blackpool cost them more than they expected. Apparently, seventeen dead contractors is bad for business."

"They'll be back," Maks said, joining Kade at the ledger. "With more men, more weapons, more drones. They can't let us survive. Every day we exist is proof that their system doesn't work."

Kade nodded. "Let them come. We'll be ready."

He thought about the network—the cells in Paris and Blackpool, Rotterdam and Hamburg, Glasgow and Naples. The contractors who made goods for the CYBi pool. The volunteers who cooked meals and taught classes and repaired tools. The members who traveled between cities, earning and spending CYBi, building connections across borders that no longer existed.

It wasn't just a currency. It wasn't just a ledger. It was a way of life.

And it was worth fighting for.

The rain started again outside, falling on the roof of the bunker like a drumbeat, like a heartbeat, like the steady rhythm of a world that refused to die.

Kade reached into his pocket and pulled out his personal ledger—a small notebook, worn and stained, filled with handwritten entries dating back to the early days of the network. He flipped through the pages, reading the names and numbers, the contributions and exchanges that had kept him alive through the Collapse.

At the back, he found a blank page and wrote a new entry, his handwriting careful and precise:

**KAJI [SAINT-DENIS]: +50 CYBi (leadership)**

Then he closed the notebook and went to help with the gardens.

The ledger balanced.

It always did.

## EPILOGUE: The Network

*The network grows in the darkness, spreading through the buried containers and abandoned bunkers of a dying world. In Saint-Denis, a contractor sews heavy-duty jeans that can only be bought with CYBi. In Blackpool, a volunteer cooks a meal that feeds fifteen people. In Rotterdam, a traceur teaches a child how to fall without breaking their bones. In Hamburg, a welder builds a tool that will keep the water purification system running for another month.*

*Every contribution is recorded. Every exchange is tracked. The ledger glows green in the command centers of a dozen cells, a map of a parallel economy that runs on trust instead of cash.*

*They are called terrorists by the rich and powerful. Criminals. Thieves. A threat to legitimate commerce.*

*But in the tunnels and the bunkers, they call themselves something else:*

*The network.*

*And they are building something that will survive the collapse of everything else.*

*Because the ledger balances.*

*It always does.*

 Oh wow. So, I thought I just found another bat for German bashing, but it turns out we have Europe wide major problem:

Yes, they are on a remarkably similar time scale in terms of overall delay duration and current projected operational timelines. Both projects have suffered massive timeline extensions that put them roughly a decade behind their original targets. [1, 2] 
 

The timelines align directly across several metrics:

## 1. Total Delay Duration (The ~10-Year Club)
Both projects have seen their opening dates slide backward by a very similar number of years:

* Stuttgart 21: Originally slated to open in 2019. Following a major Deutsche Bahn internal audit, full commissioning of the rail hub has been officially pushed back to December 2031, with surrounding work extending to 2033. This represents a 12-to-14-year total delay. [1, 3, 4] 
* Old Oak Common (HS2): Early project iterations targeted an opening around 2026. Following a government program reset, the Department for Transport announced a revised operational window between 2036 and 2039 for the first high-speed section. This matches a 10-to-13-year total delay. [2, 5] 

## 2. Current Projected Openings
If you look at when passengers will actually use these hubs, the final completion windows are nearly identical:

* Stuttgart 21: The core underground station and digital rail hub will launch in stages between 2027 and 2033.
* Old Oak Common: The station box infrastructure will continue construction into the early 2030s, with high-speed passenger services currently tracking toward 2036–2039. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7] 

## 3. Recent Shared Reset Windows
Both projects underwent massive, highly publicized timeline adjustments within months of each other:

* Old Oak Common (HS2): Hit by a major British government reset that acknowledged the severe delay window and ballooning costs.
* Stuttgart 21: Hit by an internal Deutsche Bahn audit revealing chaotic structural and digital planning defects, forcing leadership to scrap old deadlines and adopt an entirely new phased schedule. [1, 2, 7, 8, 9] 

Would you like to compare how these delays have impacted the total financial budgets of both projects, or look at how local commuters are being affected during these extended construction periods?

That's not funny. The Germans being idiots and arrogant no mater history obviously have had to face these days of everyone using every possibility to buy elsewhere. They are assholes and don't catch their attitude issue, at all.

London instead is actually very important as it is a major carrier of European economic prosperity. The route between this Main Financial Hub and the Logistics Center in Holland is the most frequented fly way in Europe and already reaching its limits.

If we, and I am certain we won't, do not fix our strategic issues, Europe will face a major decline and quite possible harsh ending, in as soon as within a decade. By 2030 the air corridor reached its limit. The train connection only has a threshold of 35%, but is significantly slower making over night stays mandatory.

The problem is that those that managed to gain power and wealth over the world wars and continue illicit secret service operations won't give up their positions and actions without the use of violent force, because they never did. 

#cyberpunkcoltoure  

 PS: Guess who is in major positions all over Europe? And what differs them from capable humans like me?

Several other flagship European transport megaprojects face comparable, and in some cases even worse, delays and cost escalations.
According to an exhaustive audit report by the [European Court of Auditors (ECA)](https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/01/19/key-eu-transport-network-projects-set-to-miss-2030-targets-eu-auditors-say), major cross-border transport projects across the European Union face a staggering average implementation delay of 17 years against their initial timelines. [1, 2] 
 

The transport hubs and high-speed corridors with delay scales that match or exceed Stuttgart 21 and Old Oak Common include:
 

## 1. The Basque Y High-Speed Railway (Spain)
* The Delay: 20 to 25 Years [3, 4] 
* Timeline Expansion: Originally scheduled to enter service in 2010, its target was pushed to 2023. Following continuous integration setbacks, auditors project it will open in 2030 at the absolute earliest, with project promoters admitting 2035 is the realistic timeframe. [3, 4] 
* The Context: This project aims to connect the three Basque capitals (Bilbao, San Sebastián, and Vitoria-Gasteiz) with each other and the French border via high-speed rail. Like Old Oak Common, it has been heavily plagued by political disagreements over city center access and complex funding reviews.

## 2. The Brenner Base Tunnel (Austria to Italy Hub)
* The Delay: 16 Years [3, 5] 
* Timeline Expansion: Early projections targeted an opening in 2016. Although the physical underground tunnels achieved major cross-border breakthroughs, the full hub network won't be operational until 2032 at the earliest. Compounding this, the German "Northern Approach" lines feeding into the tunnel from Munich face severe planning delays and aren't expected until 2043. [2, 3, 6, 7, 8] 
* The Context: Once complete, it will be one of the longest underground rail links in the world, aiming to bypass congested alpine roads. Like Stuttgart 21, the delays stem from extreme subterranean geographic challenges and complex cross-border digital signaling harmonization. [6, 8, 9] 

## 3. The Lyon–Turin High-Speed Rail Link (France to Italy)
* The Delay: 18 Years [3, 10] 
* Timeline Expansion: Initially planned for a 2015 launch and later revised to 2030, the multi-billion-euro trans-Alpine project has seen its official tunnel commissioning pushed to 2033. French approach routes connecting Lyon to the tunnel entrance have slipped even further, with some analysts forecasting they may not be ready until 2045. [2, 3, 11] 
* The Context: Similar to Stuttgart 21, it involves drilling a massive 57.5-kilometer base tunnel through the Alps. The project has been delayed due to intense civil protests, environmental lawsuits, and complex shared funding disputes between the French and Italian governments. [12] 

## Summary Comparison Table
| Megaproject | Original Opening | Current Expected Opening | Total Timeline Delay | Main Driver of Delay 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Oak Common (UK) | 2026 | 2036–2039 | ~10–13 Years | Political pauses & scope resets 
| Stuttgart 21 (Germany) | 2019 | 2031–2033 | ~12–14 Years | Signaling tech & construction defects |
| Basque Y (Spain)              | 2010 | 2030–2035 | ~20–25 Years | Urban node planning conflicts 
| Lyon–Turin Link (FR/IT)           | 2015 | 2033 | ~18 Years | Geopolitical funding & protests 
| Brenner Base Tunnel (AT/IT) | 2016 | 2032    | ~16 Years | Complex geology & connection delays 

Would you like to examine how the European Union is funding these delayed cross-border networks, or focus on the environmental impacts causing protests on projects like the Lyon-Turin link? [11]

Consider that Secret Services that supported the Mullahs ending the Shah and thereby liberal Iran, helped their very own drug affine, mentally challenged, arrogant and delusional people into positions full of prestige and power, but in need of actual capability.

That very people insisting of being Kings and Emperors over us, but refusing to marry among us. A few thousand years of controlled substance abuse and incest now increased by industrial medication and drug research and production finally have an impact.

I never met a German that would take the same argument from me and also not from a higher status person. Who is what matters, not what.

The next Epidemic might liberate.  

#ticktack  

This being said:

Not all of these megaprojects carry the same weight for international commerce. While some are passenger-focused regional upgrades, others are vital components of the [Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T)](https://op.europa.eu/webpub/eca/special-reports/transport-flagships-10-2020/en/) corridors, specifically designed to shift heavy freight off roads and across international borders. [1, 2] 
The five projects are ranked below in order of their overall importance to transnational trade, from highest to lowest impact:
 

## 1. Brenner Base Tunnel (Austria to Italy Hub) — Highest Impact
* Trade Function: Direct freight artery connecting Northern and Southern Europe through the Alps.
* Why it ranks #1: The Brenner Pass is a notorious economic chokepoint, handling [roughly 40% of all trans-Alpine freight traffic](https://www.railbaltica.org/news/european-cross-border-infrastructure-projects-urge-the-eu-to-preserve-a-unified-transport-investment-strategy/). By replacing a steep mountain pass with a flat, low-gradient railway tunnel, it will allow significantly longer and heavier freight trains to pass between Italy, Austria, and Germany without needing extra helper locomotives. It is the absolute cornerstone of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean TEN-T corridor. [1, 2] 

## 2. Lyon–Turin High-Speed Rail Link (France to Italy)
* Trade Function: Key link on the Mediterranean Corridor connecting Southwestern Europe with Central/Eastern Europe.
* Why it ranks #2: This project directly links the industrial and manufacturing powerhouses of Northern Italy (Piedmont/Lombardy) with France and the wider Atlantic markets. It is designed to remove over one million trucks from Alpine highways annually, completely reshaping the logistics and supply chain efficiency for consumer goods and manufacturing components across the French-Italian border. [1] 

## 3. The Basque Y High-Speed Railway (Spain to France)
* Trade Function: Standard-gauge freight and passenger connection bypassing the Pyrenees bottleneck.
* Why it ranks #3: Historically, Spain’s unique wide rail gauge forced freight trains to halt at the French border to swap cargo or axels, adding immense time and cost to trade. The Basque Y uses standard European gauge, allowing continuous, seamless container freight transport from the industrial heart of northern Spain directly into France and the rest of Europe via the Atlantic Corridor. [1, 3, 4] 

## 4. Stuttgart 21 (Germany)
* Trade Function: Regional node optimization along the Rhine-Danube European corridor.
* Why it ranks #4: While Stuttgart 21 is a massive project located in one of Germany’s most economically powerful, export-driven states (Baden-Württemberg), its design is heavily optimized for passenger transit. It helps transnational trade by increasing overall network capacity and smoothing bottlenecks on the long-distance east-west corridor, but it does not resolve a hard physical trade barrier like a mountain range or a gauge discrepancy. [5] 

## 5. Old Oak Common (United Kingdom) — Lowest Impact
* Trade Function: Domestic passenger superhub.
* Why it ranks #5: Old Oak Common has virtually zero impact on transnational trade. It is a strictly domestic UK project engineered to manage high-speed passenger capacity between London, Birmingham, and the North. Because the UK's HS2 network was completely decoupled from the Channel Tunnel high-speed link to mainland Europe years ago, this hub does not process international freight or seamless cross-border European transport. [6] 

Would you like to drill down into the freight capacity numbers for the Brenner Base Tunnel, or look at how the Basque Y fixes the rail gauge issue for Spanish exporters?

This guy even called Bavaria a major European Bottleneck for years to come. 

#cyberpunkcoltoure 

 

PS: And the worst is I am really looking forward for the psychotic chaos coming. 

#cyberpunkcoltoure - Mind Set

 In this blogg, somewhere, I referred to the German Beetle car only making sense from an engineering perspective as a motorized rail trolley and that Poland, meaning Prussia, Warsaw and Bohemia, had build like no second railways since the first locomotive ran in Franconia, being historically tightly connected in also fighting the Germans aka Teutonic Order.

They also have a lot of lakes.... do you know that stone game? 

These motherfuckers, them Dshemans.

#cyberpunkcoltoure 

With the inner hull bearing-mounted to the outer hull, you’re effectively building a **gyro-stabilized powered skipping stone**. The bearing idea solves one of the biggest problems: the outer hull can spin for gyroscopic stability while the inner hull stays habitable and non-rotating.

But the bearings don’t directly set the speed. The speed is limited by power, water-impact loads, hull shape, and sea state.
---

## Route distance
From **Gdańsk** to **Himmerfjärden**, across the Baltic:

- Direct straight-line distance: roughly **280 nautical miles / 520 km**
- A practical sea route around Bornholm, Gotland, and through the archipelago: roughly **350–450 nautical miles / 650–830 km**

If your saucer-boat can skip or fly in a straight line over open water, the direct route is possible. If it has to navigate like a normal vessel, the distance grows.
---

## Potential speed and travel time
Assuming the craft works as a high-speed skipping/ground-effect vehicle:

| Speed | Direct route: 280 nm | Practical route: 350–450 nm |
|---|---:|---:|
| 80 knots | 3.5 hours | 4.4–5.6 hours |
| 120 knots | 2.3 hours | 2.9–3.8 hours |
| 160 knots | 1.75 hours | 2.2–2.8 hours |
| 200 knots | 1.4 hours | 1.75–2.25 hours |
| 250 knots | 1.1 hours | 1.4–1.8 hours |
| 300 knots | 0.9 hours | 1.2–1.5 hours |

In practice:

- **80–120 knots**: plausible for a very aggressive hydroplane/skipping craft.
- **150–250 knots**: only realistic if it is mostly flying in ground effect, not repeatedly slamming into the water.
- **300 knots**: extreme ekranoplan-like performance. A saucer shape is aerodynamically poor, so this is unlikely.
---

## The bearing/gyro effect
A skipping stone needs spin to stay stable. Your bearing-mounted outer hull allows the outer hull to act as a giant gyroscope while the inner hull stays level.

But there are trade-offs:

- If the outer hull spins too fast and then hits water, the rim speed adds to the impact speed, causing huge spray and drag.
- Water impacts will put enormous shock loads through the bearings.
- The gyroscopic torque from skipping may try to precess the hull, so you still need active control surfaces or thrust vectoring.

So the bearings help with stability, but they do not remove the speed limit.
---

## What really limits the speed
A rough engineering estimate:

For a 10-tonne craft with about 4,000 kW / 5,400 hp:

- In hard skipping mode, where water impacts are included, effective lift-to-drag ratio might be only about 1.5.  
  This gives a sustainable speed of roughly **120 knots**.

- In clean ground-effect flight, with lift-to-drag ratio around 5, the same power could theoretically push it much faster, but wave clearance, control, and structural loads would cap it in the **200–250 knot** range.

The Baltic is often choppy, with short steep waves. That makes sustained stone-skipping behavior extremely difficult above about 100–150 knots.

---

## Bottom line
If your bearing-stabilized saucer-boat actually worked:

- A realistic first-generation version might cross from **Gdańsk to Himmerfjärden in about 2–3 hours**.
- A highly advanced ground-effect version could potentially do it in **about 1–1.5 hours**.

But the saucer shape, water impacts, and Baltic sea state would make anything faster than that very difficult. The bearings are a clever piece of the puzzle, but the real limits are power, hydrodynamics, and structural survival.

I am your smallest problem, BKA?

 A precise global sum of all torture and murder victims from the War on Drugs and the War on Terror combined does not exist, but documented estimates for both campaigns exceed 4.6 million deaths and hundreds of thousands of violent drug-related homicides.

 

The War on Terror

Direct Deaths: 

Research from the Costs of War Project at Brown University estimates over 937,000 direct deaths from post-9/11 military operations, including roughly 387,000 civilians.

Indirect Deaths: The same project estimates 3.6 to 3.8 million indirect deaths caused by the destruction of infrastructure, lack of clean water, and spread of disease in conflict zones.

Torture: Tens of thousands of detainees experienced systematic abuse and torture in military and CIA black sites, with well-documented cases in facilities like Abu Ghraib.

 

The War on Drugs

Global Homicides: A unified global tally for drug war murders does not exist because enforcement and cartel violence occur across disconnected regional conflicts.

Mexico: Homicides linked to militarized anti-cartel operations and criminal violence have surpassed 350,000 since 2006, accompanied by tens of thousands of forced disappearances.

The Philippines: Government data tallies over 6,000 deaths during official police anti-drug operations, while human rights monitors estimate the real civilian death toll reached between 12,000 and 30,000.

Torture: Human rights monitors frequently report that state security forces and cartels use torture to extract confessions or intimidate populations in Latin America and Southeast Asia.

 

Combined Totals

Total Deaths: Conservative figures for direct war violence and documented regional drug conflicts exceed 1.3 million direct deaths, scaling past 5 million when including indirect conflict fatalities.

 

Total Torture: A comprehensive global number remains unrecorded due to clandestine operations, underreporting, and fear of retaliation from state and criminal 

If they come for you, those to whom we provos are the Robin Hood's Crew, how many of you will hear as last words: Esta para Ibo. For Ibo.  لـ Ibo. before being granted passing permission?

I am your ultimate worst problem being a drugged, corrupt Nazi cop. Trust me, as I am not an innocent sensible artist. Get some respect before you die.

 While an exact, single global figure isolating completely innocent, impoverished, and defenseless bystanders does not exist, combined research shows that hundreds of thousands of civilians and impoverished citizens have been tortured and killed as collateral damage, mistaken targets, or victims of systemic cleansing across both campaigns.

 

Human rights databases reveal that the poor and marginalized overwhelmingly bear the brunt of "bystander" violence, as they lack the resources to flee conflict zones or protect themselves from corrupt enforcement.
------------------------------

 

## 1. The War on Terror: Innocent Civilian Bystanders
The [Brown University Costs of War Project](https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/costs/human) meticulously tracks direct civilian casualties resulting from post-9/11 operations. [1] 

* Direct Bystander Deaths: Of the over 940,000 people killed directly by post-9/11 war violence (in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, and Yemen), more than 432,000 were verified civilians. These individuals were not combatants; they were killed by airstrikes, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), crossfire, and military raids while going about daily life. [1] 
* The "Ignorant and Innocent" Detainees: Official investigations into wartime detention centers show that a staggering majority of those swept up, held, and tortured were entirely innocent bystanders. U.S. Army intelligence estimates cited in medical and human rights journals revealed that up to 85% of prisoners at facilities like Abu Ghraib (and roughly 60% at Guantánamo Bay) were completely "innocent or ignorant" regarding the insurgency or Al-Qaeda. They were frequently low-income farmers, drivers, or laborers turned in by neighbors for bounty money or caught in indiscriminate military sweeps. [2] 
* Torture of the Wrongful: The declassified executive summary of the [2014 Senate Intelligence Committee report](https://www.warcosts.org/analysis/war-on-terror) explicitly noted that out of a specific subset of 119 known CIA secret detainees, at least 26 were later confirmed to have been wrongfully held and entirely innocent. Despite this, they were subjected to severe, systematized physical and psychological torture before being quietly released without charge. [3] 

------------------------------
## 2. The War on Drugs: Targeting the Defenseless Poor
In the War on Drugs, the line between "criminal combatant" and "bystander" is intentionally blurred by both cartels and state actors. International monitoring bodies describe the drug wars in certain regions not as a campaign against illegal substances, but as a literal "war against the poor." [4] 

* The Philippines Campaign: Under former President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drug operations, human rights groups calculate that up to 30,000 mostly impoverished people were murdered by police and state-backed vigilantes. Local inquiries and international legal bodies like the [International Criminal Court (ICC)](https://www.facebook.com/BusinessMirror/posts/stripped-of-dignity-killed-like-pigs-at-the-hague-victims-lawyers-told-the-icc-d/1464459555680125/) have documented that the overwhelming majority of victims were defenseless, low-income urban workers, tricycle drivers, and youth. Many were innocent bystanders or merely suspected users who never received a trial. To justify the killings, police routinely tortured victims or planted evidence (such as firearms and packets of drugs) after executing them. [4, 5, 6, 7] 
* Latin America and Mexico: In Mexico's ongoing militarized drug war, which has seen hundreds of thousands of homicides, a profound portion of victims are bystanders caught in the crossfire of public shootouts, targeted for extortion, or mistakenly killed in cartel territorial disputes. Furthermore, marginalized migrant populations traveling through central America—who are profoundly poor and defenseless—are regularly kidnapped by cartels en masse, tortured for ransom, and murdered in mass graves if they cannot pay.

------------------------------
## Summary Table of Bystander Impact

| Campaign | Documented Innocent/Civilian Deaths | Nature of the Innocent Victims |
|---|---|---|
| War on Terror | 432,000+ direct civilian deaths; millions more indirectly. | Local families, children, and poor laborers killed by bombs, raids, and crossfire; thousands of innocent bystanders wrongfully detained and tortured. |
| War on Drugs | Tens of thousands of unproven suspects, urban poor, and migrants. | Slum-dwellers executed by police without trial; defenseless migrants tortured/murdered by cartels; innocent citizens caught in local crossfire. |

The true global sum of completely innocent, poor bystanders who have been tortured and murdered remains obscured because governments routinely label civilian casualties as "enemies killed in action," while criminal cartels hide their victims in clandestine mass graves.

#TIE the movies

[King Richard II](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+richard+ii&kgmid=/m/0cky8) based his rule on a staunch belief in royal prerogative and absolute divine right, seeking to elevate the monarch as a supreme figure above both the nobility and ordinary citizens. [1] 
The primary counties that rejected his government's authority and ignited the 1381 Peasants' Revolt were Essex and Kent, followed closely by the rest of southeastern England. [2, 3] 
 

## The Basis of His Rule
* Royal Prerogative: Richard II fiercely believed that his power came directly from God, rather than the consent of the lords or parliament.
* Control of the Aristocracy: He actively worked to restrain the power of traditional nobles, relying on a private, loyal military retinue and a select circle of chosen courtiers instead. [1] 
* Aggressive Taxation: To maintain his crown's authority and fund the ongoing Hundred Years' War, his government relied on highly unpopular flat-rate poll taxes, which heavily burdened the poor. [4, 5] 

## Counties That Rejected His Rule
* Essex: The revolt officially broke out here in May 1381 when villagers violently drove out a royal commissioner trying to collect unpaid poll taxes. [3, 6] 
* Kent: Led by Wat Tyler and the radical preacher John Ball, the people of Kent quickly joined the uprising, capturing Canterbury before marching toward London. [3, 4] 
* Other Eastern Counties: The rebellion rapidly expanded past the southeastern hotbed, leading to major unrest and rejection of royal officials in Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire. [2, 5]

Yes, [King Richard II](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+richard+ii&kgmid=/m/0cky8) did briefly achieve absolute rule over England during a short, highly controversial period known by historians as "The Tyranny" (1397–1399). However, his absolute power never successfully extended beyond England to control a larger empire. [1, 2] 

## How He Achieved Absolute Power in England
For the vast majority of his reign, Richard's authority was heavily checked by Parliament and a powerful faction of nobles known as the Lords Appellant. In 1397, Richard orchestrated a political coup to seize complete control: [1, 3, 4, 5] 

* Eliminating the Opposition: He arrested, executed, or exiled his primary noble rivals, including his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. [1, 5] 
* Bypassing Parliament: In 1398, he forced Parliament to delegate all its ruling powers to a small committee composed entirely of his loyal friends. This legally granted him absolute rule, enabling him to pass laws and levy taxes without ever needing to call Parliament again. [1, 6] 
* Rule by Fear: He terrorized the country using a private, permanent bodyguard army of Cheshire archers, enforcing arbitrary laws without trials. [6, 7] 

## "And Beyond": His Failure Outside England
While Richard centralized total domestic power, he failed to build an empire or successfully project absolute rule "beyond" England's borders:

* Ireland: Seeking to expand his authority, Richard led two massive, expensive military expeditions to Ireland (in 1394 and 1399). While he extracted temporary submissions from Irish chieftains, English authority collapsed the moment he left. [8, 9] 
* France: Unlike his father (the Black Prince) and grandfather (Edward III), Richard did not conquer French territory. Instead, he chose to sue for peace, signing a highly unpopular 28-year truce that yielded English claims. [10] 
* Scotland: He made no successful military gains or territorial claims over Scotland, which remained a distinct, hostile kingdom.

## The Cost of His Absolutism
Richard’s absolute rule lasted less than two years. In May 1399, while Richard was physically away in Ireland trying to quell Irish rebels, his exiled cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, launched an invasion of England. Because Richard had alienated nearly the entire English nobility, his domestic support evaporated immediately. Upon his return, he was captured, forced to abdicate, and deposed by Parliament—abruptly ending his experiment with absolute monarchy. [1, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13]

There never was any justification than violence. 

... 

Except 

Yes, there have been historical kings who were explicitly voted into power by assemblies of the people, as well as monarchs who ruled with overwhelming popular support and faced no internal revolts.

While modern hereditary monarchies are the norm today, elective monarchies and deeply beloved rulers exist throughout global history.

## Kings Voted by the People (Elective Monarchies)
In these systems, kings were not automatically determined by birth, but were chosen through a vote by tribal, noble, or citizen councils.

* Anglo-Saxon England (The Witenagemot): Before the Norman Conquest of 1066, English kings were not strictly hereditary. A council of nobles and bishops called the Witan (or Witenagemot) voted on who should rule, choosing the most capable male from the royal family. King [Harold Godwinson](https://www.google.com/search?q=harold+godwinson&kgmid=/m/0b03_) was famously elected this way in 1066.
* The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: From 1572 to 1795, Poland practiced "Royal Election." Every noble (which made up about 10% of the entire population, a massive voting bloc for the era) could gather at a massive outdoor assembly to cast a vote for the next king.
* Early Rome: Before Rome became a Republic or an Empire, it was a kingdom (753–509 BC). The earliest kings, like [Numa Pompilius](https://www.google.com/search?q=numa+pompilius&kgmid=/m/0lnpl), were elected by the Roman Senate and then confirmed by a vote of the popular assembly of citizens (Comitia Curiata).
* The Holy Roman Empire: Emperors were elected by a small council of Prince-Electors. While they were voted on by powerful elites rather than the general public, it was still a strictly electoral process.

## Kings Who Faced No Revolts and Had Mass Support
Some kings managed to rule with such high approval and political skill that their reigns were entirely free of rebellion.
------------------------------

[[King Antoninus Pius](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+antoninus+pius&kgmid=/m/0n9r) (Roman Emperor, 138–161 AD): His 23-year reign is widely considered the most peaceful period in Roman history. He never commanded an army in person, faced zero internal revolts, left the treasury with a massive surplus, and was genuinely loved by the public for his focus on law, infrastructure, and legal rights for the poor.](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+antoninus+pius&kgmid=/m/0n9r)
------------------------------

[[King Sejong the Great](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+sejong+the+great&kgmid=/m/014__p) (Joseon Dynasty, Korea, 1418–1450): He is one of Korea's most revered monarchs. He faced no rebellions because his policies directly benefited the common people. He personally created the Hangul alphabet so everyday citizens could learn to read and write, and he implemented early welfare policies, such as granted maternity leave for government slaves.](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+sejong+the+great&kgmid=/m/014__p)
------------------------------

[[King Pedro II](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+pedro+ii&kgmid=/m/0k_69) (Empire of Brazil, 1831–1889): Pedro II ruled for 58 years with immense popular adoration. He turned Brazil into an economic powerhouse, championed free speech, and pushed for the abolition of slavery. When a military coup eventually overthrew him to declare a republic, the public was so fiercely supportive of Pedro II that the coup leaders had to sneak him out of the country in the middle of the night to prevent a massive popular uprising in his defense.](https://www.google.com/search?q=king+pedro+ii&kgmid=/m/0k_69)

 What you think what make is bed is?

 

 

Are you bullied by the hot and popular around? Enlist Now. The proud, The few. Be hot and pop all around. The United States maintains approximately 750 overseas military bases across more than 80 foreign countries and territories.

 

U.S. Forces

mechanics needed

 

A standard U.S. military bunk or barracks bed frame is made of heavy-duty tubular steel with a powder-coated or rust-resistant finish

 

Yes, they absolutely can squeak.While steel military beds are built for extreme durability, they are notorious for making noise over time.

 

Yes, there are dedicated maintenance crews, but a squeaking bed usually falls on the soldier or their immediate unit to resolve.

 

Because a squeaking bed is considered a minor convenience issue rather than a structural emergency, a soldier must navigate a specific bureaucratic chain to officially report it.

1. Notify the Chain of Command

Before filing official paperwork, a soldier must bring the issue to their Platoon Sergeant or the Barracks NCO. In many cases, the unit will check the supply room for replacement parts, swap the frame out with an empty room's furniture, or simply hand the soldier a can of WD-40 and tell them to fix it themselves.

2. Submit an Official Work Order via ArMA

If the bed frame is genuinely broken or warped, it requires an official maintenance request. The standard method across the U.S. Army is the Army Maintenance Application (ArMA).The soldier logs into the official portal at Army Maintenance using their Common Access Card (CAC) or registered account.

They select the "Maintenance Support" tab and choose the category for barracks furniture.

The soldier uploads a description and photos of the specific structural issue causing the noise (e.g., a stripped bolt or a cracked weld).

A tracking number is issued, and the ticket is routed directly to DPW or the contracted facility management crew.

3. The "Priority" Reality Check

Military work orders are strictly prioritized by severity:

Priority 1 (Emergency): 

Life, health, or safety risks (e.g., raw sewage, broken HVAC in extreme weather, active flooding).

Priority 2 (Urgent): 

Infestations or broken appliances.

Priority 3 (Routine): 

Squeaking beds, torn window screens, or chipped paint.Because a squeaky bed is a low-priority routine request, it can take weeks for a civilian maintenance crew to respond. Most soldiers choose to bypass the official system entirely by buying a cheap set of tools or lubricant from the PX (Post Exchange) to silence the bed themselves.

If you are dealing with a frustrating barracks maintenance issue, let me know if you need help drafting the description for a work order or finding the contact details for a specific military installation! 

 

Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) from the rank of Sergeant (E-5) and above, as well as all commissioned officers, have the authority to order and conduct drills.

 

During initial entry training (Basic Training), Drill Sergeants (regardless of their specific rank, usually E-5 through E-7) hold a special positional authority. They can order individual or collective drills at any moment to instill discipline and muscle memory in recruits.

 

That means you can as a Private social engineer your Drill Seargent to having the Maintenance Crews on training run with a Wrench and WD-40 through the sleeping quarters while you exercise outside or do the paper work leaving no squeezing bed behind to ensure mission readiness by fine, good, American sleep.

#MIT

 Ok. We all get what's going on there...

Anyone interested into putting up some competition to the MIT?

 

You don't need one brick of what MIT and copying that makes no sense anyway in order to compete with them. They are the perfect incubator for the large industrial computer world creating in many respects their scientific and management base.  

 

The competition is not in recreating that, it is in solving data processing problems.

 

The MIT does that using a classic University architecture, but there are other ways to create a productive and efficient environment. It's location right next to Boston is a million Dollar estate today. It is perfect for physical meetings.

 

Computer don't need that. The Open Source Community is based online only. They work using old school archaic systems from the days the Internet was founded like IRC.

 

What it would need would be an extended form of edX, but run by other players than those already forming MIT and other Ivory League Colleges. Not that they are not needed, but to increase competition.

 

Bill Gates reveled his lack of understanding of IT by calling Linux once the biggest threat to Windows. Mr Gates studied law and his success is based on a unique contract with IBM which every Blue Screen of MS-DOS made everyone aware. 

 

The AS-400 the two talk about, especially if run in a U.S. military facility, have a lot to do with politics and industrial influence onto the Pentagon, the place that lost a Billion Dollars - somehow.

 

No, the Pentagon did not "lose" 1 billion dollars in cash, but it has recently failed to fully track or document over $1 billion worth of military equipment and has spent similar amounts in ways that drew public scrutiny. When people refer to the Pentagon "losing" money, they are usually referring to accounting tracking failures rather than money physically disappearing, being stolen, or being wasted. The context behind the "$1 billion" figure—and the larger numbers often seen in the news—breaks down into a few distinct issues...here.... 

 

Places like MIT miss out on educating a lot of young humans by what also makes them great. Living in New England is expensive and the culture they created needs individual that fit in. Not everyone capable can afford that or is willing to fit in.

 

E Pluribus Unum means that not to fit is the very base idea of the U.S.A.m if willingness to accept the other is given.

 

I am telling you, let West Point & The Public Schools, they draw so many of their finest from give it a shot. All it needs is an order and a fund.
