Is Bowie still alive? He died, I heard somewhere. I think. Maybe I dont remember.

LOL. (Still learning to interact without the laughy emoji 😀

Oh! One should never harvest quarrelsome mushrooms!

It seems Bluesky would be a good place for me to leave thoughts for my kids to read after I pass on. Nobody will read it while I live. I just have to learn how to write my thoughts down in rather short paragraphs. Why does Bluesky limit the amount I can type so much?

“How to destroy your national brand and influence people in a bad way”

LOL

Just amusing content. In Thailand, there was Korat Air Base near Nakhon Ratchasima. In the mid 1970s, it was 18 hrs by bus from Bangkok. Near the bus station there were many stalls where one could buy food for the journey, including these deeply marinated and grilled chickens.

I’m working on some carbon negative seating for our restaurant :-)

Why does nobody comment on my best stuff on Bluesky?

One of the fb pages I keep tabs on is for the old United States Air Force Security Service. Some of those folks were the most brilliant women and men I ever met. BUT…. Not all of them.

Anybody have any data on the result of Friday’s “dont buy stuff” event? Our little restaurant was dead for lunch, but sorta busy-ish for dinner. A couple people mentioned that they came to support local, which is nice. But overall, business is down.

Oh! For goodness sake! I was not coffee’d up enough for this yet today.

Dang! You almost haf me dancing, Nephew! :-)

I have read carefully Roger Penrose’s argument that “consciousness cannot be computed”, based on Goddel’s incompleteness theorem. It is compelling, in that no matter how many computations a computer does, it cannot be aware of what it computes.

You keep saying this, but I am far more interested in hearing about your common sense preparations for social collapse. Everybody laughed at me for YEARS because I was practicing for Zombie Apocalypse. I was NOT silly! Just early!

Gee Ren. I didn’t think my look was all THAT “come hither”!

The last couple of years I have enjoyed a number of audio books. The narrator really makes or breaks it.

Yes

I wonder if my Thai banana trees will set fruit in Colorado this year?

The third night of serious cold has passed, and the fruits and herbs in the greenhouse are still OK. Today we get a warm up to about 40, and tonight the low will be around 17. Much better :-)

Yes. But oddly, the “gravity is fake” society has “fallen” on hard times.

Nice!

Well, sure. But a toxic thing is not toxic unless ingested, inhaled, or rubbed on the skin.

I will send you a message somehow. Apparently, Bluesky is not suited to the number of words I wanted to say.

Guess who just got a brand-spankin new hot glue gun, sparkly gems, and 12 volt LED lights? MWAAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAAAAAA!

We will continue operations in the truck until the brick and mortar is up and running. Maybe the truck takes a rest until we have the bandwidth for both?

Assembly theory explains and quantifies selection and evolution - Nature Assembly theory conceptualizes objects as entities defined by their possible formation histories, allowing a unified language for describing selection, evolution and the generation of novelty.

I have been thinking about how “complexity” develops in the universe, and how it might be measured. This paper describes one approach to such a measurement. Once I have some coffee, I will read the paper and think my thinks.

My buddy Ren was asking what kind of fuqqery I have been up to. We have leased a great space for our Thai restaurant, and are beginning to decorate the dining room. I am currently trying to make a digital art representation of a “sky lantern” art piece to create in one corner. WIP
