Ok. Bug out Bag / Car bag. This is going to be a long thread. Keep in mind this is a bag/kit designed around having a bag that you can throw in your car and use from there. Not a gun bag or a backpack which I will likely touch on at a later time.

 This sprung from the observation of people who were stuck in traffic near DC because of bad weather and some didn’t even have the means to keep themselves hydrated, let alone warm. This thread goes overboard on that concept with the idea of, if i have to make it X miles…
what might i need?

So here goes. My main bag is massive. I wanted something like a duffle that i could move in and out of my car as needed.

MH makes amazing tents and bags. The color isnt ideal, but for something that will be in the car its fine.

I bought about four different packing pod styles. First Spear summit bags, mystery ranch zoid, Patagonia black holes, and spiritus systems wantons.

All of them are pretty well made and all serve a kind of unique purpose with what your packing.
If i had to choose the best, it’s between the mystery ranch and the Patagonia. If it was purely for rucking, it would be spiritus.

So clothes. The first thing i tried to keep in mind is layers. Rain/wind/ cold.
1st layer; poly pro Long handle/ninja suit. This is the thing shit that you can sleep in and move in if its not too strenuous. I pack the super thin layers, but i also have waffled upper and lowers.

2nd layer; insulator/work. Depending on weather this is a shirt with….
A smoking jacket or a harder shelled jacket to insulate and maybe cheat the wind. A good example of this is an Atom LT. DONT spend this kind of money, because there are plenty of jackets that do this without the cost.

https://t.co/dvUAN9HxJe
But think of it as an insulating layer with some water resistance and youll be fine.

3rd Layer: wind/water SHELL. This is a no shit super thin layer that repels water and wind. Marmot/northface/Patagonia nearly everyone makes these and you can pick them up pretty cheap
For lower it’s literally no different.

I keep a single set of each layer in a black hole or MR zoid. I also pack wool/athletic socks in the 1st layer.

I also pack a neck gaiter, and some sort of warm beanie. Minimal room, maximum comfort when you need it.
Water/food. Right off the bat. I keep a case of bottled water in my car. ALWAYS. But if i need a filter, or i need to boil it, or cook food, i also have a lightweight means.

Filters; i have a steripen with 2x change of batteries and a nalgene specifically for that system.
Contd: i also have an MSR pump filter with a bladder and nalgene specifically for that system as well.

I have the nalgenes separate to decrease cross contamination of it were to occur, and gives me a few ways to hold water.

I also have a shower bladder in addition….
To the dromedary bladder for the MSR pump.

Food: everyone loves jetboils. I do too. But if fuel cans freeze, or cant be found youre kind of fucked. So in addition to that and 3 cans. I have an MSR whisperlite, that runs on gas, diesel, alcohol and probably the blood of virgins.
Its one of the most versatile stoves i have and has gotten me out of a score of binds when ive been camping.

I also keep 3 days of MRES. AND 3 days of MTN house/backpacker pantry. Food in a wonton bag
Most of whats next is really odds and ends, and serves as more of a reminder than requirement.

-all weather sleep system. Mil surplus places sell 3 layer sleep systems fairly cheap, and while heavy are absolutely amazing, just the bivy alone is a life saver
- Toiletries- nothing is a moral booster better than a dry ass and clean teeth. A small zoid/wonton full of travel size toiletries keeps things light and easy to pack. That said, i keep a big ass bottle of gold bond handy.

-non emergent meds- Ibuprofen, Tylenol, pepto bismol…
Cought drops, nyquil etc…. All shit that you dont need. But will help in the long run for protracted movements.

- batteries/solar- i keep a solar accessory charger in my car that allows me to charge everything except a laptop. I have an outlet car charger for that
But i also have a lithium jump starter for my car. The intent is to be able to power everything i need by fuel or batteries for roughly one week. That means having a way to charge via solar or vehicle and being able to start my vehicle as well.

https://t.co/LsnENyi46M
- spare boots shoes- we all know to pack a spare pare of boots/shoes. I use keen because they are durable and not insanely hot or heavy, but offer a lot of water proofing.

The real pro move too is packing shower shoes as well. Hear me out.
Showering, washing something down barefoot sucks, putting wet feet back into shoes sucks. Shower shoes are simple game changer and super light.
I said in the space that i wont touch gun bags or med bags. I dont plan to. But consider this bag as a sustainment bag in the triangle of bags you would want to consider for an emergency. And consider how you would silo/pack them so you’re not redundant.
So. Its a lot of shit, and its basically like a camp bag on roids. But its good for peace of mind and the ability to be comfortable if your ass gets stranded on the road. Or you have to bug out for distances.
Some final suggestions/ thoughts. I didnt go into tools because its a rabbit hole and super subjective, but i keep a multi tool and a knife at a minimum in the bag. And Blankets/woobies always consider having one.
If you have QS you know what to do.

Ill post some pics of the bag and gear later tonight ran out of thread space.
This whole thread was interesting because it turns into a really subjective rabbit hole but the view that I wanted was to pack this under was I needed to drive multi day and sustain myself from my car. Fuel is weird convo and how you get it is situation dependent

ANCIENT BHARAT WAS CALLED VISHWAGURU, AND IT REALLY DESERVED IT.

India had a well developed education system centuries before the westerners arrived and called us uncivilized. Education was always given a great importance in Indian civilisation since times immemorial.


Ancient India had the Gurukulas and Ashramas as the epicentres of the knowledge and enlightenment. Bigger Gurukulas served as the centres of higher education called universities. Besides these universities, temples also emerged as the major learning centres.

Studying the Holy Scriptures, character building, personality development, responsibilities towards self,family and society,discipline and preservation of the ancient culture and heritage were the key embodiments of education.

This kind of education system made ancient India, a centre of knowledge all over the world. Many foreign students came to India for education and India was called the 'Vishwaguru'.
Takshshila and Nalanda were the two prominent universities of ancient India.


But were these only Universities of ancient India?The answer is 'No'.Let's learn about these gems of our education system that flourished across ancient India & be proud.

NALANDA UNIVERSITY
This was the oldest university of ancient India.Situated in Nalanda distt. of Bihar...

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!

Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz
Models: https://t.co/NOB3cpATYG
Evaluation: https://t.co/aOzQu95J8z

🧵👇(1 / 12)


Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)

Thiruvizha Mahadeva Kshetram
#Alappuzha 
#Keralatemples 🚩

Thiruvizha Mahadeva Kshetram is located in Cherthala and it is believed that Prathishta of temple was done by Vilwamangalam Swamy. Paramashiva is Swayambhu here and is worshipped as Kalakandha which means who swallowed


Halahala visham to save the world during Samudra mathanam. 

It is a famous temple where people seek the blessings, for curing the Kaivisham. The poison given by someone to destroy a person is made to vomit here. This is removed by making them vomit the poison by a special


medicine.
The medicine for vomiting is made from a plant near temple by Palodathu family. The milk offered to Bhagwan is mixed with the extracts of the plant.

Story says that once this place was a dense forest, and a woman was looking for the presence of a tortoise in the pond


and the tip of her stick hit the bottom and it started bleeding in the pond. 
Frightened, the lady informed every one and after searching in pond people found Swayambhu Lingam inside the pond. Thus Prathishta was done here.

Om Namah Shivaye

हिमालय पर्वत की एक बड़ी पवित्र गुफा थी।उस गुफा के निकट ही गंगा जी बहती थी।एक बार देवर्षि नारद विचरण करते हुए वहां आ पहुंचे।वह परम पवित्र गुफा नारद जी को अत्यंत सुहावनी लगी।वहां का मनोरम प्राकृतिक दृश्य,पर्वत,नदी और वन देख उनके हृदय में श्रीहरि विष्णु की भक्ति अत्यंत बलवती हो उठी।


और देवर्षि नारद वहीं बैठकर तपस्या में लीन हो गए।इन्द्र नारद की तपस्या से घबरा गए।उन्हें हमेशा की तरह अपना सिंहासन व स्वर्ग खोने का डर सताने लगा।इसलिए इन्द्र ने नारद की तपस्या भंग करने के लिए कामदेव को उनके पास भेज दिया।वहां पहुंच कामदेव ने अपनी माया से वसंतऋतु को उत्पन्न कर दिया।


पेड़ और पौधों पर रंग बिरंगे फूल खिल गए और कोयलें कूकने लगी,पक्षी चहकने लगे।शीतल,मंद,सुगंधित और सुहावनी हवा चलने लगी।रंभा आदि अप्सराएं नाचने लगीं ।किन्तु कामदेव की किसी भी माया का नारद पे कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ा।तब कामदेव को डर सताने लगा कि कहीं नारद क्रोध में आकर मुझे श्राप न देदें।

जैसे ही नारद ने अपनी आंखें खोली, उसी क्षण कामदेव ने उनसे क्षमा मांगी।नारद मुनि को तनिक भी क्रोध नहीं आया और उन्होने शीघ्र ही कामदेव को क्षमा कर दिया।कामदेव प्रसन्न होकर वहां से चले गए।कामदेव के चले जाने पर देवर्षि के मन में अहंकार आ गया कि मैने कामदेव को हरा दिया।

नारद फिर कैलाश जा पहुंचे और शिवजी को अपनी विजयगाथा सुनाई।शिव समझ गए कि नारद अहंकारी हो गए हैं और अगर ये बात विष्णु जी जान गए तो नारद के लिए अच्छा नहीं होगा।ये सोचकर शिवजी ने नारद को भगवन विष्णु को ये बात बताने के लीए मना किया। परंतु नारद जी को ये बात उचित नहीं लगी।

12 Azhwars (Alwars)

The 12 Azhwars, (the Main composers of Naalayira Divya Prabandam - 4000 poetic Rhymes) are known as Nityasuris or Divyasuris; those who reside permanently with the Lord in His Heavenly abode.


They have incarnated as Azhwars -Vasihnavite Saints - to propagate Bhakthi Marga, devotion to Lord Vishnu.

Alwars have dedicated their lives towards Lord Sriman Narayana and they led their life by praising Him.

These Alwars were born in various parts of our country but they were all united in a common subject, ie dedicating their lives and praising the Lord.

Poigai Alwar, Bhoodath Alwar and Pei Alwar are collectively called as "Mudhal Alwars" were found in the same period of time.

Thirumazhisai Alwar, who thought the Perumal as his friend and has sung Mangalasasanam on Perumal.

Thirumangai Alwar was a great king and later, changed his life to work for the Perumal and for his bhaktaas.

Thondaradippodi Alwar, who is also named as "Vipra Narayanar" led his life as the servant to the God and did service to Him by offering beautiful Garlands.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
