People wonder how the Pol Pot genocide happened.

 This is how you get a Pol Pot genocide.

She is not a outlier.  She is part of a very substantial amount of people.  the ones who will be doing the cultural revolution struggle sessions.  She would gladly handcuff you and put a plastic bag over your head if she was let off her fraying leash.

Successful genocides and mass-killing campaigns (Cultural Revolution, Khmer Rouge, Rwanda, Armenia, Holocaust) combined several elements that are not optional:

• Eliminationist ideology that defined the target group as existentially dangerous or subhuman and called, explicitly or through clear euphemism, for its physical removal or destruction.
• Control or capture of coercive state institutions (police, party apparatus, military, prisons) sufficient to translate rhetoric into policy and quotas.
• Suppression of counter-speech, independent media, courts, and organized opposition.

Often a precipitating crisis (war, famine, revolution) used to justify extraordinary measures.

now check the boxes on this one in the USA.

Tiny chickens

 This is from the first batch of chicks hatched in the shop.
He is  more pigeon size than eating size.  By contract the Rhode Island red, Plymouth rock and Delaware roosters are gigantic. 

First egg from the Rhode Island Red hens (I think)  I have 6 reds and a all black hen, so the odds are it was from one of the reds.  

Project microfilm delay

 The AI screwed up the chemistry a bit.  

It kept trying to get me to use a polymer gel flocculant to pull the silver crystals out of the solution.  But the sutpid AI kept assuming I was somehow trying to preserve the gelatin, not extract the silver.  

I asked it multiple times about bentonite clay flocculant, and it retardedly said it wont work.  Until I said I was only extracting the silver crystals.

I also came in the shop to find that a scum of mold was growing in the tank and developing some odor.  

I ordered potassium sorbate preservative to stop the mold.  

So we will stop the extraction process until the new material is arrived.  I now am stuck with a giant bag of polymer gel powder I have no use for.

Meanwhile this is retarded: (DOLE is department of labor and employment)

Project Mircofilm

 We processed 15 sacks in 2 hours.  This was in spite of still figuring work flow.

The sacks of microfilm were tied shut tightly, then dunked in a tank of water and protease enzyme.

The liquid circulated with the sewage pump.

We turned the sacks over a couple times, then on a rack to drain.

Spot checks revealed all the gelatin was dissolved and the liquid turned a black soupy concoction.

After 15 sacks we pumped the tank into a ibc and added floculant to collect the silver.  i noticed large amounts of fine silver particles on the bottom of the tank during transfer.

Flocculant should collect the silver, leaving the enzyme solution clear and for re-use.

The congealed silver is collected with a spoon, spread out to dry in a pan, then run thru a electric foundry which will burn off the gelatin, flocculant, and leave behind a disc of silver.

So far so good.  

Meanwhile, in the shop, machine orders slow, despite advertising.  i sold one sheet press. 

The shipping damaged machines were fixed, and shipped back out
