got into a drunken hype last night about the moon landing, couldn't accept that the lander had enough fuel to achieve escape velocity

had to run some quick calculations this morning and can confirm they would have had plenty of fuel to achieve this

I have updated the recommendation list, keep them coming.
Should we limit Chesterton to one book?
Eventually we can have a poll that allows multiple choices.

1. "Attacks" by Erwin Rommel

2. "Egil's Saga"

3. "The Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov

4. "Use and Abuse of History" (essay) by Nietzsche

5. "Confessions" by St. Augustine

6. "Essais" by Michel de Montaigne

7. Essays by Cicero

8. "The everlasting man" by G. K. Chesterton

9. "Biography of Aquinas" by G. K. Chesterton

I’m interested in his biography of Thomas Aquinas, but I’d be fine with revisiting Everlasting Man too.

@sim @skells @7 @Arkana @GoodPerson @Intramuros_ @Leyonhjelm @MK2boogaloo @clayvaulin @hrast @kakkerel @tarperfume

Friends, I've gathered these proposals that have had some traction:

1. Attacks by Erwin Rommel

2. Egil's Saga

3. The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov

4. Essay by Nietzsche, "Use and Abuse of History"

5. Essay by St. Augustine

6. Essay of Michel de Montaigne

7. Essay by Cicero

Are there any more suggestions? Would anyone like to add/remove anything from the list?

Also, any member can use #bookclub hashtag on any post (reply or OP) to have it retweeted by our group account.

I wish people were less horny so they'd make more surrealist art with stable diffusion instead of the same old lizard brain triggers

Our friends @GridlessCompute doing some incredibly cool work monetizing micro-hydro plants in Kenya.

They build these small hydro plants @ ~100KW which is much much more than the village needs.
