Strega

@Strega……I walk a min of 10K per day (Yes, 7k is sufficient), run 5k 3 times a week (ok sometimes only once…) and can “dead hang” for 3 minutes on a bad day. I seldom eat meat, mostly fruit, nuts, porridge and Indian vegetarian.  5k yesterday was 26:05…..seldom do I eat processed foods :-). And I am 60…….

Here is a free app that you can use when shopping;

I have started to use it but only on foods I suspect are highly possessed.

Review here. #It accepted a bullshit email.

From August 1st I am going to forgo any added sugar in my diet.

A doctor in Ireland is warning  about glycerol in colorful slushies.

There are plenty of names that disguise the sugar hidden in foods.

So how’s the MAGA circle jerk going up in here ? 4AM club, wow. Pres’s DOJ is pardoning a convicted pedophile ring-leader for her silence, but you guys know how prioritize.

Always hear that “tough talk” from old white guys one stroke away from sucking on blue-state government boob. I gotta laugh when even the Q Shaman gives up on Trump, but hey…[Read more]

@jakelafort – I am a coward too when it comes to the midday sun. Anything over the mid 20’s and I am indoors.  Was I chopping chilies? No, just applying sun-cream. Now I can’t read for the next 30 minutes. Silly Billy. SF 50 good, SF 496 bad. If the logocracy takes hold in the mid 2020’s, I am sure you will be on the front line of the resistance,…[Read more]

Here is a recent story about humans ‘helping’ Mother Nature with genetically modified mosquitoes.

Awesome prose, as usual. I was impressed enough to ask AI, and see if it seems smart enough to know if it was written by AI. IMO, it passed my test, although I don’t think the reasoning it gave was…[Read more]

All things domesticated for consumption by humans lo these past 11,000 or so years are “Organic” because they are Carbon-based life forms, and they are all “Genetically-Modified Organisms” whether by selective breeding or in a Petri Dish.

I think this is a more interesting topic than it first seems. At least one group o…[Read more]

I find that AI is good at summarising textual information, and keeping meanings largely intact, based (apparently) on the philosophical idea that the meaning of a word lies in how it is used.

I had it summarise my book in Adobe pdf reader, and it didn’t tell me anything new, just made a good hierarchical summary.  Maybe if someone started asking…[Read more]

Have a great week!!

I rarely pay attention to up-to-the-minute news. But living in Trumpian times is unlike other times in US history. I heard news that Vance visited one of the Murdochs a few days ago, so the 25th amendment may become relevant? To be honest, I’ve lost sleep in some recent days.

Nine minutes long, if you don’t count the last two minutes of the video…[Read more]

Daily Beast interview with Michael Wolff, about Trump and a couple of his female staff. Eleven minutes:

Cluster B people are known for being thin-skinned: “emotionally unstable”, “impulsive”, and “intolerant of perceived slights or insults”.  If you’re a narcissist, you’re perpetually at odds with and competing with everybody; and human beings are not competition machines, we’re not built to cope with that, so it hurts personally when someone…[Read more]

I thought of this months ago but didn’t express it, but Kinzinger does it better anyway. Trump, et al, is the new cancel culture. Trump himself, is the thin skinned King Snowflake now.

4 minutes:

Not worth a new topic, so I’m putting it here.

I start this youtube video several minutes in, leaving 7-minute out take:
