Life time of living in BC has given me an appreciation for the absurd in politics and real life. Play bridge quite badly. Used to write. Love train travel. Happily married 40 years to man who does not play bridge and hates trains. I don't donate.

AI should ask AI if there's a business case for AI.
AI has yet to make money on a scale that even remotely matches the “mind-boggling investments” made to develop it, Hanna Rosin says. She spoke with Charlie Warzel to examine whether the AI boom is actually a bubble. | The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

Canadian pennies, because they're copper, are now worth whatever the price of copper is. I think US pennies are some kind of amalgamation. Are they going to be worth anything now that they're going out of circulation?
This thought is only worth a penny, if that.

Watching House of Guiness. My dad used to talk about the Finian Raids sometimes, but I don't think we ever learned about them in school. History of others coming to Canada to fight their overseas battles goes back to before confederation.

Trivia - Canadian beer was based on Brit ales and US beer was based on German lagers because of all the Germans who stayed.

Nov. 12, 1775: Lord North tells King George III that the Cabinet urges "a large & speedy augmentation of Force," particularly a corps of foreign troops. He believes that mercenaries from the Hessian and Brunswick states in Germany would serve in America if their rulers were offered "large terms."

Thought - maybe there should be a scene where the Chinese cooks get fed up with people crashing through their work spaces and put their cleavers to work. I'd laugh.

I met my cat coming in from outside.
"Other cats," said I, "poop outside."
She looked at me with disdain.
"Where are these "other cats?" are they in the room with us now? If so, I shall sort them out."
Then she went and pooped in her newly pristine litter box, scoffing as she went.

I made sour dough rye bread yesterday. It was very good even though I did not take the recommended 2 days to make it (slight exaggeration) I don't know what the point is of stretching instead of kneading or leaving it in the fridge overnight instead of baking it the same day.

I remember when there was huge outcry and warning labels on records because they were supposedly making teens do immoral things.
Can you imagine if someone released a computer game, or a musical album, or *whatever*, that was designed to sexual groom children, or encourage them to commit suicide or any of the things LLMs are doing on a daily basis, how quick the media and political condemnation would be?
