Earth to Kindle. Please explain Ty team? and Casiopaea >3. I am a bit confused and an old guy.
But you do sound enthusiastic so I will try to be that way too!
Thanks for your enthusiasm!

THE new sport which has lately been introduced at Beloit is skeeing. They are long ash planks, carefully and turned up at the end, and are warranted to take down hill quicker than a wink. After some practice performers become very expert, and the speed with which they go is something surprising. [Beloit College, Wisconsin, "Round Table," Dec. 18, 1885]

Wow! Thanks Bluelamp! I am "uber" excited then! We can always use some enthusiasm here.
These new acronyms get every time.
Q: (L) So, any last wrap-up stuff?
A: Love to group! We are becoming tuned to them.

A: Yes
Q: (Chu) Well, geez! Apple takes on a whole new meaning now!
(Data) Poor Apple users.
(Scottie) That answers my question from before: Why did technology evolve the way that it did? Like why electronics, microchips, and so on when there are other types of technology that could have developed. They had to make the soup!
Regarding the “Apple” reference above, am I incorrect in thinking Chu & Data are referring to Apple Computer users & technology?
Because that’s the connection which came to my mind — and if that’s so — the following thoughts occurred to me almost exactly one year ago this March.
There was a very interesting thread here in the forum regarding apple technology, you may find it useful, it's called "gurdjieff and Steve Jobs" https://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,32866.msg451617.html#msg451617
And you also have the sott.talk program, that was aired November 10th 2013, about this topic "Steve Job's Apple Revolution and the Fall of man", that you can hear (or download) here:

Just pondering:
From Etymology:
skiing (n.) 1885, verbal noun from ski (v.).
THE new sport which has lately been introduced at Beloit is skeeing. They are long ash planks, carefully and turned up at the end, and are warranted to take down hill quicker than a wink. After some practice performers become very expert, and the speed with which they go is something surprising. [Beloit College, Wisconsin, "Round Table," Dec. 18, 1885]
The C's come up with the most amazing way of putting things, and this one on Skiing, is either a big reality and clear as a bell, or something else. Skiing infers going downhill, yet not exclusively; going from A to B and surfing snow are others.
Of a more practical method set in a horrible future snow reality, when and if snow hits the proverbial fan for those high in the north or low in the south, skiing will be about the only conveyance to get a person out of a rapidly building snowscape. If snow is moderate and conveyance to different communities is needed - well that's another thing. In the former case, there would not really be much time to think about staying if the signs are right and your house is about to disappear - so inaction would be detrimental. Skinny X-cross's skis may not be very practical, especially if you need to pull a sled that carries your food and the gear you would need to survive a journey to some place of refuge (better to already be gone).
So who knows exactly what is meant, yet the weather signs point the way. As such, in preparation for having to travel perhaps hundreds, if not a thousand kilometers, a wide ski-touring set-up would work best (snow stability wise), along with touring bindings (hinged and lockable), touring boots and skins - don't forget the polls. There are some light weight sleds that hook to your back to carry the things you would need, such as a set of snowshoes (aka misery slippers), and means for heat and food. The trouble with that kind of snow deluge scenario, is that before the snow sets-up, no matter what you have, moving over or through it will be very difficult, if not impossible. As said, better to be already gone if you can.
sitting said:sitting said:Rather than skill, maybe endurance is the more important factor.
I had better clarify this. I meant it as "if you're out in the snow field, and caught up in deep deep drifts, then your physical endurance for hardship probably is more important than anything else"... in that particular situation.
I did not intend to equate "skill" in my post -- to the same way the C's had used the word in their context. I'm still mulling over their true meaning.
Q: (L) So, basically by having so much technology, microwaves, and all that kind of stuff, we're basically feeding entities in other realms and enabling them to enter ours?
A: Pretty much! Fun for materialists galore!
Q: (L) In other words, people who believe only in technology are in for a big surprise?
A: Yes
Q: (L) Well, that's interesting.
(Perceval) Is it because those kinds of microwaves and other kinds of waves transcend, or are perceived in other dimensions?
A: Yes
