Good job to pb baker. Appreciate your journey, I do. Lookin forward to your next bread.
It's a beautiful morning. The sun is shining and the crops are growing fast. The gardener has time to pause and reflect upon his work, knowing a bountiful harvest soon approaches.
His timing, his calculations, dutiful efforts, and careful stewardship, in concert with Both God and the Earth, have resulted in the most delicious fruits.
"Just imagine next year's crops!" as he thinks of the seeds this lot is sure to drop.

Minutemen
The Minutemen played a crucial role not only in the Revolutionary War, but in earlier conflicts.
Although the terms militia and minutemen are sometimes used interchangeably today, in the 18th century there was a decided difference between the two. Militia were men in arms formed to protect their towns from foreign invasion and ravages of war. Minutemen were a small hand-picked elite force which were required to be highly mobile and able to assemble quickly. Minutemen were selected from militia muster rolls by their commanding officers. Typically 25 years of age or younger, they were chosen for their enthusiasm, reliability, and physical strength. Usually about one quarter of the militia served as Minutemen, performing additional duties as such. The Minutemen were the first armed militia to arrive or await a battle.
Although today Minutemen are thought of as connected to the Revolutionary War in America, their existence was conceived in Massachusetts during the mid-seventeenth century. As early as 1645, men were selected from the militia ranks to be dressed with matchlocks or pikes and accoutrements within half an hour of being warned. In 1689 another type of Minuteman company came into existence. Called Snowshoemen, each was to "provide himself with a good pair of snowshoes, one pair of moggisons, and one hatchet" and to be ready to march on a moment's warning. Minutemen also played a role in the French and Indian War in the 1750's. A journal entry from Samuel Thompson, a Massachusetts militia officer, states, "…but when our men were gone, they sent eleven more at one minute's warning, with 3 days provision…" By the time of the Revolution, Minutemen had been a well-trained force for six generations in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Every town had maintained its 'training band'. The adversity that this region faced — Native-American uprisings, war with France, and potential for local insurrections, social unrest, and rioting — provided ample reason to adhere to a sound militia organization. In his recent book, perhaps David Hackett Fischer puts it best, "The muster of the Minutemen in 1775 was the product of many years of institutional development…it was also the result of careful planning and collective effort." (p. 151). By the time of the Revolution, Massachusetts had been training, drilling, and improving their militia for well over a hundred years.
Unfortunately, one thing the Minutemen lacked was central leadership. This disadvantage would lead to their dissolution. In February of 1775 Concord was one of the first towns to comply with the order to create Minutemen companies out of the militia. Of approximately 400 militia from Concord's muster rolls, one hundred would also serve as Minutemen. When a battle took place Minutemen companies from several towns combined their units. An officer from the 43rd Regiment of Foot was sent to the North Bridge in Concord with a number of light infantry. Minutemen from Concord, Acton, Littleton, and other towns combined forces. After a few volleys were fired, the British light infantry retreated back to the Concord Common area. Lacking central command, with each company of Minutemen loyal to their own town, they did not pursue the redcoats. In the running battle that ensued fifteen miles back to Boston the Massachusetts militia would see their last action as Minutemen in history. The militia would go on to form an army, surrounding Boston and inflicting heavy casualties on the British army at Bunker and Breed's Hill.
Thus, although lacking central command, the Minutemen were still better organized and battle-tested than any other part-time military. They were a vital and necessary force, playing a crucial role in not only the Revolutionary War, but in earlier conflicts. Without these "ready in a minute" men, our history may have been written in a very different way.

I find it very likely that a team of specially chosen autists could perform a reassembly of the documents with relative easy. Plus, they could likely be scanned into a computer running a program designed for document recovery.
That being said. Fog of war, misdirection etc. We see only a portion and have to reconstruct the rest with our imaginators and thinking.
opinions only
Around 21 years for me in total I suppose. 2.5 or so beside Q. Would have been more but I got so tired of /b/ I swore of halfchan for a while. KEK
I am ready for the awakening. I get tears in my eyes when I see it manifest for us to see. This has been my entire life purpose. Not bragging. Anon and idiot here. Grateful to God every day.
You can get a cheap pulse oximeter on the internet that wont sell your location history to china or Best Buy.

Horrible. Almost looks like a bomb exploded. For Harrison Deal, I pray that his untimely death will be thoroughly investigated.
We should ALL pray for the families & friends of GA government officials. We should pray for our country & our President. We should pray for ALL.

The Queen's Gambit
https://simplifychess.com/queens-gambit/
"The Queen's Gambit is called a Gambit because White is "sacrificing" his c-pawn in order to get a better control over the center.
Note that this sacrifice is not permanent and White can easily get back the pawn he's sacrificed."
The Queen's Gambit is a move designed to secure control of the center of the board. It's one of the most common chess openings and involves white sacrificing (that's the "gambit" part) a queen-side pawn (the "queen" part). In Algebraic notation, the move is: White moves its pawn to D4. Black moves its pawn opposite to D5. White then moves its pawn to C4, beside its first pawn and diagonal to Black's pawn. (If you're listening to characters talk chess moves in the show, this letter-number sequence might sound extra confusing; many characters use descriptive notation, such as "queen's bishop 4," rather than algebraic notation. In descriptive notation, the Queen's Gambit is: White pawn to Queen 4 [p-Q4], Black pawn to Queen 4 [p-Q4], White pawn to Queen's Bishop 4 [p-QB4].)
After moving, White's second pawn (on C4) is now open for capture by Black's pawn (on D5). Black can then either take or decline the gambit, each decision carrying with it a myriad of follow-up moves.
There's some debate whether this move is really a "gambit" since the sacrifice actually puts White on the offensive.
Still, semantic debate aside, the Queen's Gambit is a great sequence to study if you're just getting into chess strategy—and a great opening to use whether you're an amateur or a grandmaster.
