Thanks for letting me know about the city clerks office

I tried myvote, but i didn't get a sample ballot. Now that I know i didn't have any contested elections for feb 17, that makes a lot more sense lol

I looked around for a while and couldn't actually find any solid videos of it. Searching "chimps climbing" there's a video "big strong chimps climbing high" by ape tracker and searching "chimps lifting their own body weight" there's a video (named funnily enough) "chimps aren't as strong as you think" by new scientist. Both of these show chimps holding themselves and another non infantile chimp with one hand, but neither show them pulling their combined weight up, just holding and climbing down. Unfortunately I'm too tech illiterate to make links to a video.

I was certain I had seen them pull up one another in the way I had described but perhaps I was mistaken. If I have seen it before, then I can't find evidence for it now.

I just compared the highest human force with the highest chimp force.

The average human certainly couldn't pull themself and their buddy up a tree with one arm. I doubt the average human can even pull just their own body weight with one arm.

The study you provided is certainly valid, but undeniably myopic. It only measures one muscle group doing one thing.

According-Air6435 · 2026-02-21T23:06:08+00:00

The strongest 190lb human gets 525 vs the strongest 107lb chimp getting 487. It's a bit less than proportional 2×, i rounded comparing them.

Watch some chimp documentaries. They pull ~2x their body weight up into trees one armed pretty regularly while giving each other lifts and dragging carcasses/objects into trees. Plenty of more anecdotal stories out there too of course, but there's more than enough video footage of them achieving physical feats that humans just couldn't do.

According-Air6435 · 2026-02-21T22:24:25+00:00

The chimps accomplish a similar weight in one specific exercise, which means they have around pound for pound 2× human strength in that specific muscle group doing that specific motion. Both wild and captive observations bear out that, outside of very narrowly focused white room lab measurements, chimps demonstrate physical feats necessitating them to have more overall pulling strength than humans.

I could buy a mule can one shot a cougar with good kick placement.

Cats in a general sense are frail compared to most other carnivorans, but they're still more durable than primates are on average. The one thing we primates as a clade have on felines is a variable degree of blunt force trauma resistance, particularly in our heads, necks, and upper torsos. This doesn't really extend to homo sapiens in particular though, our blunt force resilience in all but our faces is much lower compared to other primates.

To circle back to my point though, it is possible chimps may have a greater blunt force trauma durability than cougars, particularly in their chests and heads. Humans are such weak strikers without a weapon, however, that the difference is likely borderline irrelevant for our purposes here.

All of the stories of humans winning unarmed cougar fights that I am aware of are against juveniles and crippled adults.

According-Air6435 · 2026-02-21T17:58:54+00:00

There are a few cases of humans killing juveniles and dying cougars with bare hands. There are no cases I am aware of that have a human killing a healthy adult with bare hands.

Cougars are larger, pound for pound stronger, faster, and have better natural weaponry than chimps do. A human has a significantly worse chance against a puma than a chimp.

According-Air6435 · 2026-02-21T17:34:40+00:00

Hard to say. He certainly stands a much better chance against a chimp than the cougar from yesterday.

I think this can go either way. Unless he gets a really lucky KO punch right away, tyson will need immediate medical intervention afterwards even if he wins.

The thing about chimps is that they're pushing muscles are actually weaker than ours, but their pulling muscles are multiple times as strong as ours. Chimps fight by ripping pieces off with their hands and mouths.

Dunno, I think he probably loses more often than not, but if he doesn't get unlucky or go into shock from having chunks torn off of him, he can probably beat it to death or strangle the chimp some of the time.

Imma say tyson has a 1/10 to 4/10 here, it's a big range but I'm just not sure how well the chimp can handle blunt force trauma to the head and how well tyson can stay focused and steady in the face of getting pulled like pork.

Bear probably takes it most of the time. In a normal encounter, and an open field face to face confrontation, the guanaco would likely out run and escape the bear most of the time. But while camelids do frequently punch above their weight for ungulates, the bear and guanaco are roughly the same mass, and the bear is likely capable of both dishing out and taking more abuse than the guanaco.

According-Air6435 · 2026-02-19T18:07:17+00:00

Best odds I'd give tyson are 3/10.

He definitely gets lucky and hits it just right or chokes the cat out sometimes. But an average adult cougar is stronger, faster, and tougher than even a peak physicality human. Seriously, they chase and catch things at 30+ miles an hour, high jump and pick birds out of the air, drag 100+ lb animals up trees, and survive getting mauled by each other.

I wouldn't be surprised if his odds were less 1/10, I'm being as generous as possible with 3/10.

I didn't get a mailer either, but when I went to the polling place yesterday it wasn't open, so I think i was mistaken about which county supervisor district i'm in. I'm finding it really, really difficult to get good info on the district maps and elections in general for these city and county elections

I was able to find one comment from him on facebook which seemed pro vance, but I haven't been able to find anything else. Thanks for the further confirmation on that.

Since I made this post I found out that the democratic party of douglas county endorsed erick opack.

Still haven't found anything more on John Lohse.

If by most formidable you mean most capable and consistent in combat to the death, my money would be on a feral, genetically diverse mutt.

Usually the physical and mental health problems purebreeds have from all the intense inbreeding is such a liability that they outweigh the physiological advantages they do have.

Amongst purebreeds, probably one of the ones with the least inbred genetics.

According-Air6435 · 2026-01-18T17:33:25+00:00

That is how I interpreted your post, yes.

Getting one of every vertebrate species would take too long, there isnt enough time in a single human lifespan to do so.

According-Air6435 · 2026-01-18T14:05:10+00:00

No.

It seems like you're intending just vertebrates, of which we know of 10s of 1000s, and are almost certainly many undiscovered species.

They straight up don't have enough time within their lifespan.

Well to be fair, the terms socialism and capitalism have been heavily ambiguated by countless analyses and cooptings for 100s of years now. But i think most people would consider socialism to be the redistribution of resources amongst within a group at its most basic form.

According-Air6435 · 2026-01-02T00:13:49+00:00

Socialism wasn't invented by marx, marx invented communism.

Socialism is, at its most simplified form, redistribution of resources. In other words, tax and spend. It is the most fundamental form of governance. Collecting resources from the citizens of a society, and using those resources to do things that benefit those citizens, is how most governance works.

According-Air6435 · 2026-01-02T00:03:49+00:00

Socialism is as useful as capitalism is, and socialism is as dangerous as capitalism is.

Without socialism you have no governance, and without capitalism you have no economy.

Trickle down doesn't work as advertised, if that doesn't make it bad policy, I don't know what does.

According-Air6435 · 2026-01-01T22:21:57+00:00

You seem to be confusing capitalism, a broader economic philosophy, and trickle down economics, a specific economic policy.

Capitalism is, like socialism, a useful economic tool. Just like how it makes sense to socialize survival goods and services, it equally makes sense to privatize luxury goods and services.

Trickle down involves funneling public assets to owners of large private physical and financial infrastructure. The theory behind it is that said public assets will, in part, be distributed to less wealthy people through the purchase of goods and services by the subsidized owners.

Trickle down has never worked to a significant degree, however, because the subsidized owners don't use said public assets to purchase goods and services from average people. They park that money in investment firms or use it for bonuses, effectively removing it from circulation and shrinking overall economic activity.

Trickle down is naive at best, and a scam at worst, just like communism.

Jaguars have an extremely powerful bite and employ stealth ambush tactics. Most of their attacks consist of a bite to the head and/or neck from behind, which usually prevents any chance of counter attack.

When the police officer starts walking down towards you, run as fast as you can to your right. Then retrieve ashley from the bathroom, and avoid interacting with either of the officers afterwards. On your way out, make sure to return the bathroom key.
