I'm way behind on all my writing stuff... Including responding to your interview questionaire! Ugh! My yard is waking up from winter, and if I don't get some things under control quick, I'll never be able to catch up. Back to writing with a fresh brain, tho!

'We are missing data': NWS weather balloon changes scrutinized as tornados hit Midwest For much of Monday, the agency didn't anticipate a tornado threat for Kansas City — then five hit that evening. Did a change in weather balloon launches leave forecasters in the dark?

"The Trump administration cut the agency deeply last year, leaving some forecasting offices short-staffed...

“You’re missing data from the Four Corners region, the northern Plains, part of the central Plains, and that’s where the storms were developing,” he said..."

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

Three years ago, our reporter received an envelope with no return address.

Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams.

I'm digging up "Wisdom Quotes" to include, like "As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters." (Lucius Annaeus Seneca; a/k/a Seneca the Younger.) to include in the opening prologue.

I've been retired for just long enough to not have needed to know (in depth) about how AI is being integrated, but I suspect the 'ol "Garbage in; garbage out" axiom applies here. That and lots of stress testing; pier review etc.

Yes, and therein lies my fear! I am a retired web software developer (the kind of pages/sites that have dynamic content, driven by conditional scripting on databases) and I never cease to be aghast at the sloppiness of what I see now. AI could be very helpful in this, but only if properly guided!

This is what Public Excellence looks like. Europe funds the fundamental human triumph of reaching new heights, while the US gives a slush fund to the American Gestapo.

Abolish ICE & give their entire budget to NASA. Let us journey beyond the stars as we consign fascism to the dustbin of history

Health Insurance Claim Denied? See What Insurers Said Behind the Scenes Learn how to request your health insurance claim file, which can include details about what your insurer is saying about you and your case.

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied.

You have a right to see this file.

The absurdity of the Iran war is epitomized by the Trump administration’s decision to partially ease sanctions on Iran and Russia, allowing both countries to rake in huge profits.

Russia is set to earn three times more per month from its energy resources.
