    So i am babbling late at night as is my wont. “I’m Schlomo and i am a hobo. Can i bum a token to get to Hoboken.”

    I was answered. A voice appeared as though i were some 8th century prophet. “Hello Schlomo. How can i help you?”

    And the text appeared on my screen for a second or two.

    I guess it is some setting. I asked the LLM with whom (whom?…[Read more]

    • Just trying to establish the only kind of cause there can be for this phenomenon, one within the Natural Universe:

      Were you half-asleep all the times you placed the coffee cup in the microwave?

      Is there involved here any Ni-Quil™ or any generic equivalent of The Nighttime, Sniffling, Sneezing, Caughing, Aching, Stuffy Head, Fever,…[Read more]

      • No drugs. No lucid dream.

        It is very odd. Really is.

        Made me think of it as an in to a sci fi novel. A very contemporary one in which the we’re here is revealed to a few.

        I guess a two sided handle on a coffee cup would solve the issue i am having. Shark Tank will have to wait. I would be solving a problem for myself. Not sure anyone else…[Read more]

        • Ah! Wait a minute! Here’s something that I hadn’t considered which might explain the phenomenon: According to Antonio Ford of AskTheHomeGeek.com Microwave oven turnables turn use AC motors which turn both clockwise and counter-clockwise, depending on the polarity of the charge of the half-cycle in the motor when it…[Read more]

    As Pakistan’s army chief turns on hardline Islamist groups, blasphemy cases plummet.

    The anti-blasphemy laws are still on the books in Pakistan, else on what basis could the police conduct investigations? The Generals could very well do the execution of blasphemers themselves with secret military trials.

    Environment: Why are so many of us apathetic to climate change?

    I dunno. Ask Bill Gates or maybe Al Gore if you can find him. Ask Alexandria Occasio Cortez; you have 5 years to do so. (I think that’s the right number. Like Bowie said: My brain hurts a lot! 😖)

    Or just consult BlueSky on the latest “Current Thing.”

    And if you wonder what…[Read more]

    In Florida, “personal freedom” is being used as though infectious disease were a purely personal transaction. You don’t have to repeal a vaccination programme to weaken it.

    Overall attitudes on healthy living figure into the state of infectious disease.

  • Human Rights around the world in 2026.

    The Ottawa Declaration on Humanism with an obligation to resist authoritarianism, religious nationalism and dehumanization.

    Australia held its census and religion became its most contentious question as ‘Atheist’ was specifically listed for the first time.

    All true from the AI, and fighting bacteria, germs, mold, and viruses is a never-ending struggle for man and his domesticated beasts and crops.

    I think of apple as more suited to a side dish with pork, but apple and chicken are compatible as well. Orange chicken, snow peas chicken, and cashew chicken are excellent Chinese main courses.…[Read more]

  • Fellow Unbelievers:

    Good to see some friction of MAGA vs. MAHA. If only they could distract and paralyze each other and leave the rest of us to pursue our own Greatness and Health.:

  • Ok wise guy i asked all knowing AI.

    Yes, it is fair and accurate to characterize microbes as evolving in response to antibiotics. Antibiotics create a strong selective pressure. Microbes with random genetic mutations that grant resistance survive. They then pass those helpful traits to their offspring, leading to evolutionary adaptation.How…[Read more]

  • Jake:

    Keep in mind also that the slave ship chicks who are preemptively antibioticized cause rapid evolution in bacteria. So you know the drill…new antibiotics…new microbes that are resistant…and then perhaps and i assume zoonotic dangers. Also in ingesting chickens raised in hell we ingest their antibiotics so the same dance between micro…

    non free range
    aka slave ship chickens.

  • I don’t know what my microwave does. But i do know if i alter the positioning 180 degrees that should correct for everything.

    Well i was mistaken in an assumption. Turns out nonfarmraised chickens are innoculated but not as i had thought with antibiotics. Those are administered only after an outbreak. Pre and probiotics and more sanitary…[Read more]

    Still, still, not one goddamn time since i first reported the coffee cup pointing away when microwaving has it pointed towards me. Not even achieved equator. I will take equator. I equate equator as a victory.

    Does you microwave have variable speeds on the turntable? Is it an “Internet of Things” thing with controls out of your hands?…[Read more]

  • Also, isn’t it cruel to have chickens raised “Free Range” where they could be attacked by foxes or snakes or even snatched up whole by birds of prey e.g falcons, eagles, owls, osprey, etc.)

  • Jake:

    Health nuts should be more enticed than regular meat cuz of not using hormones and probably antibiotics along with controlling type and percent of fat.

    This thought has been with me a bit: I saw a package of chicken that boasted it was “Cruelty-Free and Free Range” and simultaneously “Free of Antibiotics”.

    In addition to postings on this Forum, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is also great source of new vocabulary. Even Mike, who identifies as a Conservative Christian off-camera, gleefully joins in on the fun:

  • Enco,

    I’ve heard lab grown meat is served in restaurants in Singapore. Still a process that needs to be refined. Carbon emissions will be significantly lower i think. Land requirements obviously far lower. The cells still need food so i guess that and energy are required. How much compared to animal farms? No can say.

    Not only would orthodox…[Read more]

    As for Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, the Indigenous people of that area deserve to get the first and biggest dibs on any oil discovered in their land. Native Americans are among the poorest Americans and like anyone, they deserve financial independence and not just welfare handouts and maybe casino payouts. I’m sure their ancestors…[Read more]
