And since an adult chimp (not the juvenile ones like Cheetah, for those of us who remember him) is stronger than three or four men, they could take over. Or maybe we could mess with their genes too and prevent that. Endless possibilities for messing with the genes of all organisms we might like to change. Limiting possible enemies: you could call it 'germ warfare'! bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 1, 2022 at 1:52 PM spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg2721101369594223434"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_2721101369594223434WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:spike@rainier66.com" target="_blank">spike@rainier66.com</a> <<a href="mailto:spike@rainier66.com" target="_blank">spike@rainier66.com</a>> <br><b>…</b><u></u><u></u></p></div></div><p class="gmail-m_2721101369594223434MsoPlainText"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="gmail-m_2721101369594223434MsoPlainText">>…Wooohooo!

It is swirling, so centrifugal force would sling it outward unless wind blew it back into the cylinder. If wind is blowing the stuff inward, then air must be rising up in the center. OK all that makes sense, so now it seems like the same principle would apply to the tropical elation, and to the hurricane if that forms.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="gmail-m_2721101369594223434MsoPlainText"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="gmail-m_2721101369594223434MsoPlainText">Ja?
