RIP TO THE GOAT

Easy like a Sunday morning in Mio,MI

Into the flood again

Thank God for another day on two wheels. First time at this trail, couldn’t have had better conditions. 2.5 hr drive to get there, all kinds of out of staters on the highway this weekend. Tourist season in effect, good thing the locals keep it moving, had cruise set at 89mph all the way up I-75🤙🏼

Straight slime

Pure Michigan

which way, midwestern man?

beach bum, call me ocean drive slim

dropped the top, looked up and made the sky grin

do I dare? yes I do do I regret? also yes

everything is good but 1.5” deeper and the intake would’ve been suckin mud. bottom of the filter got a little wet.

Can’t ever keep the 256 on 2 wheels

Nothing beats the USA (except those god damn Australians)

Thank you for visiting #LakeSatoshi ‘25 ⚡️

this counts as church service

The one time I’m overly optimistic and patient and it paid off 🤌🏼

Ton of cool maps to scan over

Notable U.S. Operations Involving Weather Modification Operation Popeye (1967–1972) Objective: To extend the monsoon season and increase rainfall over specific areas in Southeast Asia, particularly over the Ho Chi Minh Trail during the Vietnam War. Technique: Cloud seeding using silver iodide particles to induce rain and disrupt enemy troop movements and supply lines. Outcome: Operation Popeye increased rainfall significantly, causing flooding and making roads impassable for enemy forces. Project Cirrus (1947–1952) Objective: Early U.S. efforts in cloud seeding. Scientists attempted to modify hurricanes by seeding clouds with dry ice and silver iodide. Outcome: Initial experiments failed, and there was speculation that the seeding altered the path of Hurricane King, which hit the U.S. coast. Project Stormfury (1962–1983) Objective: Attempt to weaken tropical cyclones by seeding them with silver iodide in the hope of reducing their wind speed. Outcome: The project showed limited success and raised questions about whether it was possible to alter a hurricane’s strength or trajectory. Project Skywater (1960s–1980s) Objective: Focused on increasing water supply through weather modification, primarily using cloud seeding to enhance rainfall. Outcome: Various tests were conducted in the U.S., with mixed results regarding the reliability of cloud seeding as a tool for increasing precipitation. Project Skyfire (1960s) Objective: Fire prevention by using weather modification to suppress lightning in dry regions, thus reducing wildfires. Outcome: While some success in reducing lightning strikes was observed, the project was not widely adopted.

Weather Modification Patents and Holders

Below is a list of significant weather modification patents and their associated holders. Many of these patents are related to cloud seeding, ionization, and other methods aimed at altering atmospheric conditions:

Patent: US3613992A Title: "Weather Modification Method" Holder: Bernard Vonnegut Date Issued: 1971 Description: A method for producing precipitation through cloud seeding by dispersing substances such as silver iodide into clouds. Patent: US3564253A Title: "System and Method for Irradiating a Cloud Formation" Holder: J.F. Biondo Date Issued: 1971 Description: A method for altering cloud formations by radiating them with a laser or other energy source to modify weather patterns. Patent: US6315213B1 Title: "Method of Modifying Weather" Holder: John L. St. Clair Date Issued: 2001 Description: A method for modifying weather using artificial means, such as releasing charged particles to induce precipitation or dissipate clouds. Patent: US20100224696A1 Title: "Artificial Ionization Method for Weather Modification" Holder: Franklin R. Pierce Date Issued: 2010 Description: This invention relates to creating an artificial electrical charge in the atmosphere to enhance or inhibit the formation of rain or storms. Patent: US3784099A Title: "Method for Dispelling Fog" Holder: Louis G. Lawrence Date Issued: 1974 Description: A system designed to clear fog by dispersing water-absorbing substances into the air to decrease humidity and clear visibility. Patent: US3899144A Title: "Apparatus for Altering the Weather" Holder: Gerald L. Pearson Date Issued: 1975 Description: A system designed to produce artificial precipitation by releasing specific substances into clouds. Patent: US3437504A Title: "Rainmaker Device" Holder: Thomas B. Nelson Date Issued: 1969 Description: A device that disperses chemicals into the atmosphere to create artificial rainfall. Patent: US20080216639A1 Title: "Hurricane and Tornado Control Device" Holder: Fred E. Boyd Date Issued: 2008 Description: A method and apparatus for disrupting hurricanes or tornadoes by manipulating temperature and pressure in the storm's path. Patent: US4274707A Title: "Weather Modification by Artificial Satellites" Holder: Stephen Salter Date Issued: 1981 Description: A system utilizing satellites to modify weather patterns by creating artificial clouds or manipulating atmospheric conditions. Modern Efforts While the U.S. government has scaled back direct weather modification projects, private and corporate interests in cloud seeding and geoengineering have continued. Several companies and organizations are exploring weather modification as a tool for managing water resources or mitigating climate change.

RIP halfin

I spent my Saturday nights puffin heaters at the local race track making bets on the cars with people around me

this is exactly what the globalists DONT want

means im always on record, brother

kinda crazy nobody is taking about trumps assassination attempt anymore. most reasonable people agree that some retard 20 year old incel didn’t just dupe the secret service that day. there was some form of coordination. the guys head almost shattered in 4k, not some grainy zaprutor footage, and a month later nobody is really question it, onto the next programming.

I hear people say “if they would’ve killed him there would’ve been a civil war”.

I disagree.

Maybe people would’ve rioted for a week or two. But after a month we’d all go back to work, and argue over the next programmed topic like gay satanic Olympics, or be distracted by the rich gladiators engaging in simulated combat when football season comes back around.

like I’m shocked Trump didn’t take the assassination attempt and run with the “they tried to take me out” angle. Even he started making jokes about it a week later, or saying it was violence due to “the rhetoric” in this country.

Idk. That shit was insane, almost impossible to believe how fucking close someone was to blowing a primary candidates head off. You literally could not get closer, a lot of people would agree there was a degree of coordination, yet 50 days later nobody seems to remember it.

is it because we just instantly turn everything into a meme now, which kinda kills the severity of the situation?

Idk man. I don’t love Trump but , man you’d think people would care to get to the bottom of what exactly happened that day and how

I love this shit

Next Meetup is a Texas Hold ‘Em Poker tournament fundraiser. Some of you who came to our August Retreat may have remembered or talked to Vinny. Vinny was a life long friend of @BitcoinOne01 , and has spent years hanging out and working at Lake Satoshi. He was an incredible example of a good man, and left his impact on everyone he met. Unfortunately, he suddenly passed away earlier this month while in El Salvador with Mike. We have all been grieving the past few weeks, but nobody more than Vince’s wife Julie (whom some of you also may have met).

That is why we are raising funds for her, to help ease some of the emotional and financial pain she is going through. If you don’t play poker, that’s okay, I never have either. Come out to talk Bitcoin with other plebs, and enjoy some BBQ. I would just ask and tremendously appreciate any donations . If you’d like you can send a few sats to [email protected] for small donations.

Thank you plebs, looking forward to a fun Friday at the end of the month with you all in April! 🧡

📢POKER NIGHT @LakeSatoshi

This is a fundraiser event, where 50% of the winnings will be donated to MI Bitpac. MI Bitpac is a ‘BTC treasury’ multisig cooperative controlled by @annarborbitcoin , @detbtc , @grbtc , @swmibitcoiners , and @LakeSatoshi meetup organizers.

It’s an effort to setup and host meetups month after month, this Bitpac was organized to support each others efforts without the need of a corporate sponsor.

If poker isn’t your game, just donate and come hangout and fellowship with local Bitcoiners. Thank you for supporting #Bitcoin   meetups in Michigan ✋🏻
