Apparently, I am seriously not living up to my potential.

Anyone else start getting AI Viking music on their YT algorithms? Trying to decide if it's just opportunistic garbage or if it's white supremacist recruitment garbage.

The proliferation of automated surveillance devices is an invasion of our civil liberties. There are better ways to impact drivers than creating a permanent surveillance state.

If you won the lottery, what would you do with your time? Not super wealthy, but just enough to pay all your debts and never have to work another day in your life. What would you do to fill your time? I have a dozen hobbies I would love to have the time and money for. Travel. Learn a language.

First major misstep of his administration. Many properties in NYC fall under the price range. Many are primary residents inherited and passed down in families. This is basically a name and shame the "rich" list. This notification should have been done by mail. www.silive.com/news/2026/07...

The military runs war games for three reasons: 1. To legitimately test out ideas, strategies and coordination of large forces 2. To practice coordination with our allies. 3. To impress politicians and get more defense funding. Those ideas can be conflicting.

This is just as annoying on the hiring side while we wait for HR to do their background checks, verify degrees and licenses, get the drug test results, and everything else they do before setting a start date. Meanwhile you're short staffed and everyone is just eager to get started.

I wish we could bring back the World's Fair. Where major companies pay for rides and exhibits that actually make you hopeful for the future. Not just a CES type sales show, but all the wild and speculative futuristic technology they're dreaming of. And fun rides designed by Disney and others.

Racists know who they can safely be racist in front of. They test the waters with a few light jokes. An offhand comment. They measure your reaction. If your friend is heavily racist in front of you, it's because you gave them a green light.

The propaganda of the early 21st Century will be studied for decades to come. It's fascinating to watch the narrative go from Tesla as the premier sign of environmental conscientiousness to being the symbol of MAGA incels all because of Musk's actions. While owners preordered before the switch.

You may be wondering how Iran might retaliate. They have been holding an ace in the hole the whole time. One any informed leader knows. Iran can mine the Strait at any time. Doing so would PERMANENTLY make the strait dangerous and make insurance for ships go up an order of magnitude.

Toaster Pastries, like everything else, not as good as they were 20 years ago. But, if you have the time, get some frozen pastry dough, a can of your favorite pie filling, and make a bowl of frosting (just powdered sugar and milk) and make your own.

The least talked about and hardest to address form of pollution is light pollution. Public safety has alway exceeded environmental impact as a priority. Is red lighting the answer? Or does it just make everything look like a low budget horror film? indiandefencereview.com/denmark-just...

I'm tired of scrolling through YouTube and getting random clips from shows and movies. Especially spoilers. I know this is guerilla marketing. Maybe it works with Gen Z. But it just ruins any interest I may have had in watching something. And there's no way to block them all.

As I learned from making pizza dough, if it's not stretchy it means you didn't need it long enough. Pizza dough should be able to "window" when you stretch a piece and get a thin membrane you can see your fingers through. Done the same making pretzels. Need to hold shape during the boiling step.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame should just rename itself to the Popular Music Hall of Fame at this point. I know the reasons. The actual museum is a failing business. Doesn't draw enough visitors. They are fighting for cultural relevance and more visitors. Casting a wider bet for attention.

Just had one of those moments men wait their whole loves for. Have a light up Christmas decoration that we haven't put up for years because we lost the plug for it. Well, turns out an old IBM laptop plug that I was told to throw out years ago works PERFECTLY with the old fiberoptic winter village.

If they made a remake of this today, it would be from the perspective of Velda, the middle class, recently divorced mother who's become tough because she had to be. And a rich socialite with no wilderness skills becomes a major disruption to the program, threatening to undo her hard work.

The Fleming Estate rejected the idea that Bond was a code name. Christopher Lee was the real James Bond. His exploits around WWII were Fleming's inspiration. That said, there's no real reason a reboot couldn't make it a code name in honor of the original Bond.

We celebrate the ideals this country was founded on. Ideals we have always fallen far short of. But it's the striving toward those ideals, the slow inevitable progress, that we have celebrated. And in this dark hour, we need to renew a commitment to achieving those ideals.

Woodworking day. Added some bench dogs to my "lightweight traveler's bench" designed by Rex Krueger. Working with this bench, realized I need every inch I can get planing longer boards and needing to sit on the bench to add weight. Just hammer from below to pop them up and hammer them down.
