Book: The 33 strategies of War

Author: Robert Greene

Quote:

Build up a reputation: you're a little crazy; Fighting you is not worth it; You take your enemies with you when you lose. Create this reputation and make it credible with a few impressive-impressively violent-acts. Uncertainty is sometimes better than an overt threat.

    what exactly are “Jewish Faylasufs ” huh ?

  2. Hamako Says:

    Faylasufs = Philosophers.

    Colloquial usage is more sarcastic than PhD-esque.

    Bala falsafeh.

    hmmm.

    And there old Thomas died. It is an eerie feeling thinking of the bones that are buried just beneath my feet, a corpse who braved the harsh Atlantic and later walked the long trails through the mountains to just this spot, and whose blood still courses in my veins. And old Thomas Lackey is not alone.

    Quote:

    The amount of current that could be imposed on feeder or branch-circuit conductors, should they be in the same raceway and a fault occur, would be much higher than the ampacity of the feeder or branch-circuit conductors.

    Exception No. 1: Grounding conductors and bonding jumpers.

    Exception No. 2: Load mangement control conductors having overcurrent protection.

    Tag: No one to tag.

    I hate for this to be the first time commenting on this blog, but I could not resist the opportunity to criticize Robert Greene, he right books howto books on being a moral-less agressor. His books left me feeling like I needed to take a shower… sleezy.
