campfires

The running could have been kids playing as they are wont to do around campfires everywhere.

Silly stuff like learning to build campfires and sharpen a pocket knife, and stuff like changing the timing of your vehicle's ignition.

Hear natural sounds and smell the aromas of the woodlands and campfires.

Wood fires (campfires, stoves, hearths, etc) make a TON of soon.

I like to think that we're genetically predisposed to enjoy sitting around campfires.

It's like they started with a concept for a 'lifestyle' commercial with young, beautiful people having parties and campfires and looking at the stars, and then worked backwards towards a vehicle from there.

Also, adding a one byte instruction prefix that you know will be ignored because your processor is happier if instructions aren't so bunched up is so close to witchcraft that the author should avoid campfires with stakes in the center.

But we can start making the world into the kind of place where crack isn't attractive and we can do it cheaply with inexpensive and free activities like singing, dancing, story-telling, campfires, etc.

I've sat around campfires where hippies were passing a spliff around and talking about that kind of stuff and was really amused recently when we found out that Epstein did the thing with professors who would have known better -- I mean, I will use my seduction toolbox to get people like that to say more than they should but not to have the same conversation I could have at a music festival.

This is despite having been an early adopter of Subversion, despite having contributed patches to Subversion, despite having contributed code to third-party tools built for Subversion, despite having spent time bonding with the developers of Subversion around late-night literal-campfires, and despite disagreeing with much of the anti-Subversion hype.

You want to google "Remote Timing Attacks Are Practical", which is the landmark paper in this subfield and also the one crypto people use to scare their children around campfires with.

I then asked, "Were any of those fires in the past 20 years started by arsonists?" "Yes, arson is a significant factor in North American wildfires, though it is often overshadowed by accidental human causes (like downed power lines or unattended campfires) and natural causes like lightning."

Now, again, ignoring water vapor, which is insane to do, but is "customary", your control of the system, if you eliminated all CO2 from every person on earth (perhaps we'll let you breath, but no campfires) is 2.2%.

Campfires were surely used by our ancestors, for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is plausible that we evolved to adapt to them.
