    Different approach. Just add medieval spikes if desired or if necessary :)

    We call them Honey Locusts here. Why it's not wise to run naked through the woods at night. :D

    Honey locusts they are not. Honey Locust do not have thorns AND are NOT a true Locust tree, we have them (Honey Locust) here everywhere.

    Very interesting Rob. Personally I was going off what out city arborist had told me about our Honey Locust trees. I found this.
    Compared to the native honey locust species, the Sunburst cultivar is shorter. Rather than growing to 80 or 100 ft. (24 – 30 m), the sunburst honey locust only reaches 40 ft. (12 m) in height.

    There are many reasons why the ‘Suncole’ cultivar is popular in landscape gardens. Its wide spread, lack of thorns, and pod-less characteristics mean it is not a ‘messy’ tree. There are no sharp spine or pods to clear up in the fall.
    All our Honey locust have no thorns, all the Black Locust trees are well armored up😉

    I had planted a Purple robe locust tree. It had beautiful huge purple flower pods like huge grapes in the spring. One day it just fell over, I called our city arborist to help with it. The arborist told me "true" locust trees were very susceptible to fat head wood borers and that is what happened to mine. He then pointed to the honey locust trees my neighbor had and said those aren't true locust trees these fat head boars will never bother those trees. My locust tree had very small thorns just on the branches nothing around the base or the trunk. The neighbor's honey locust had none.
    My remedy to keep the purple robe locust was to pour a Bayer insecticide around the base every spring. As long as we had the house that is what we did. We sold the house and I haven't went back to see if the tree still standing because I doubt that the people that bought the house was going to spend the money every year.

    So yeah I learned something today.

    A couple of nights ago, I dreamed I had a flat tire. I decided to google and I reached this location. Seems to be AI. Somewhat true statement below as I was really frustrated that day.

    What does it mean when you dream about a flat tire?

    The dream of a flat tire can evoke feelings of frustration, helplessness, and inconvenience. It symbolizes unexpected obstacles or setbacks that hinder progress and disrupt plans. This dream may leave one feeling annoyed, stressed, or overwhelmed by the unexpected challenges that life throws their way.

    I still have some masks leftover from 2019 and I guess that they'll still be just as effective as they were before.

    LNP's that encapsulate synthesized mRNA are nanotech. Worked with them on many occasion. The cat-ion charged variants are extremely cytotoxic. ;)

    Yes George had a good long run there, but it was time.
    I was on the top deck of a ship getting away from the most horrible sounding dj setup below when I took that sunset pic of the Tampa Bay bridge.

    Could those nanostructures (or self assembling LNPs) that are 100um large compared to 7um for red blood cells and 46nm for Fibrinogen and 75nm for Collagen XII and 425nm for Collagen VII super molecular assemblies be large enough that it would pose a trigger for the immune system and be a cause of Histiocytic Myocarditis?

    There are many histopathological implications with the LNPs alone.

    I'll take a very minuscule natural virus titer over an astronomical number of virus-mimmicking particles direct to blood stream any day. In mol-bio you have what is called an MOI, or multiplicity of infection. It runs a small course against natural immunity and then it is neutralized.

    With the mRNA LNP's there is no moderation/limitation.
