    I’ve had lots of Cannanau while vacationing in Liguria. You don’t see it much outside of that area of the Mediterranean. Nice.

    Yesterday was our yearly listening of JCS. I have an original vinyl pressing, a remastered vinyl pressing from just a couple of years ago and an original reel to reel tape. We listened to the tape yesterday. The new remastered 45rpm Alan Parsons Project, A Turn of a Friendly Card arrived Friday. It's a great album.

    Libertarian talk radio host Neal Boortz used to call Sean Hannity "Baby Jesus" because he was just so damn wonderful. (As sarcasm.)

    Well, my two quantum stocks are up about 8x so hopefully it will continue to go up so that I can afford a gallon of gas.

    Factor in the number of graduates in each field and it might have something.

Gender Dysphoria is not the root cause , it’s a symptom. The fact that in over 90% of the cases it actually resolves itself through puberty tells you everything you need to know…

    I use Gemini (aka TARS) on a 2nd vertical monitor at work. I mostly type in questions such as figuring out the best technical query or advice on how to integrate 2 systems. So it's mostly a powerful search engine with pretty good answers by default. I also use it to generate an image here and there, such as for a corporate blog I manage each week.

    I remember leading up to the 2024 election there was some momentum behind a potential Carlson candidacy if Trump was going to be in prison. I could see it. Also, that first sentence...imagine saying that out loud 15 years ago during the Carlson bow-tie and Trump apprentice years.

    89th said: It’ll be a night launch. Wish it was daylight but that’s only possible for one or two of these dates in April. [image: 1769429526740-1655d638-aa34-41fa-82d4-0af9ebe482f4-image.png] I'm glad we got lucky with the April 1st date. As I noted earlier, there were a few options that had a daytime launch, and what a spectacular launch that was. I know there's recency bias, but to my eyes and many who've seen plenty of launches, it was one of the most beautiful launches (visually) they've ever seen.
