willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It is a mistake to confer some kind of consciousness on a computer. Computers follow instructions. Instructions can be poorly formulated or biased, but the computer will blindly follow them. 010

willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I've done this with the price of concert tickets before. In 1968 I could see top billed act like The Doors or Stepenwolf for a bit less than two hours of minimum wage. These days it approaches or exceeds 20 hours of minimum wage. 110

willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 30/08/2026It is already possible to purchase locker beef from any cattle producer. It comes from the butcher labeled "Not for Resale". The downside is it usually only comes s full or half cows. There are some small USDA inspected butchers (we used a poultry butcher close by) that can be resold. 110

willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Well, in 1999 Clinton took us into Kosovo, so not a particularly peaceful time. Difficult to find any significant period that the US has not been involved militarily somewhere in the world. 000

willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 19/08/2026The problems on the ships in the area are directly related to supply lines. As Napoleon observed, an army marches on its stomach. The navy has no accessible ports within 2000 miles. 100
willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Yeah, in my area a six month wait for an appointment is not unusual. I just rescheduled one and the best they could do was give me one at the end of September and put me on a waiting list. My primary care physician advises me to make an appointment every six months and reschedule if I don't need it. 100

willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 15/08/2026This has gotten nowhere near the press it deserves. I am not so bothered by suppressors, which are broadly legal in Europe where strict gun laws exist, but very much so by the other weapons covered. 010
willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 15/08/2026In many cases dual citizenship is conferred as a matter of law, not choice. We have friends, for example, who one has Italian/US citizenship and the other British/US citizenship because of their parents' places of birth. Should they be required to renounce citizenship? 100
willybfriendly.bsky.social @willybfriendly.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I have a trip down there planned in November. Even have reservations in the lodge. I hope there is something left worth seeing.
