Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?

I was deeply engaged in Foof Studies for nearly sixteen years with this kitty before I finally realized the ineffable and unquantifiable nature of Foof.

Classic sunk cost fallacy. Ridiculous, and doesn’t account for variables, such as: 1. The money to be made by investing in stuff the public truly wants or needs. 2. The other possible harms and losses that can come from making stupid tech. 3. The towering cost of destroying the environment.

David Sacks posts: According to today’s WSJ, AI-related investment accounts for half of GDP growth. A reversal would risk recession. We can’t afford to go backward.

Our final weekend with this sweet fellow. He’s 16 and we are pampering him and hoping to help him depart peacefully for his next adventure.

NIOSH funds Wisconsin DHS to study and support worker health and safety. This is important and cost effective work.

My work-from-home office mate is helping me with my CDC report-out (which I doubt anyone will ever read). I am tempted to let her compose a section of it just for funsies.

This hasn’t happened yet. Before it does, please order your household’s four free test kits! special.usps.com/testkits

Clip from the Washington Post reads: The Trump administration has been evaluating the costs of destroying or disposing of tens of millions of coronavirus tests that would otherwise be provided free to Americans.

In case anyone was wondering why the government was so heavily invested in scientific research (pre-DOGE) here is a clear explanation from one of the workers on the chopping block:

A Reddit post by user Throwawayainteasy: I get exhausted trying to explain this stuff to people who fundamentally don't understand pure scientific research.

It's mostly not profitable, at least in the short-term. Some of the most important scientific breakthroughs are things that we won't really understand the value of until 10-20 years from now or more. Possibly generations.

That's just the nature of science. It can even be true for the seemingly mundane stuff. In the 60s someone gets curious how flies can get around so well with such tiny brains, that answer turns into new understandings, those understandings merge with new computing, and in the 2020s we have autonomous drones and self driving cars who's existence is rooted all the way back to someone's unheralded research that started because they thought bugs were neat.

No for-profit company would fund the first 20 steps in that process, because there's no clear path to profitability until the end. That's why governments across the world are the primary funders of pure research.

Details on the bizarre disappearance of random documents from OSHA’s web site. Seems as if no one is trying to read words in context before removing documents based solely on ideological keywords. So, if you were holding out hope that there might be an attempt at competence, that’s gone now.

Letter dated 2/13/2025 from House Subcommittee on Workforce Protection citing major problems with the way OSHA’s websites are being stripped of documents using the keywords ‘gender’ or ‘diversity’ without regard to the context in which they were used. For example, a document describing the ‘diverse conditions in which emergency responders could work’ has been removed.

Here is our freshly rescued terrified 1yo dog cuddling our elderly cat, who just wanted to calm the dog down. So sweet; they not only know love, but also compassion.
