Puzzling but wonderful
Adding another random thought to this theme: = = = = = START REPRINT: The teams are getting narrower and narrower and more specialized, in all fields. In pro athletics, every game or race is between two identical performers who are at the top of their range, and the difference has to be measured in…

Back to Maragha again 2/2
Continued from part 1. Christoph Scheiner’s magnum opus is Rosa Ursina, published in 1620. The title, roughly the Bear’s Rose, is an extremely poetic and sycophantic dedication to his patron, Virginio Orsini, Duke of Bracciano. The bear, of course, is the patron’s name, and Scheiner waxes lyrical about the vast mind and infinite morality and…

Obsolete?
Recently I focused on the role of gelatin in printing. Got curious. With all the current fads and “laws” about vegan and GMO and gluten-free, you’d think gelatin had long since been replaced by synthetics. Has it? Nope. Gelatin isn’t a very large part of industry in monetary terms, but it’s steadily GROWING, gaining new…

Via Quartz: = = = = = START SPLENDID QUOTE: Thousands of people lined up outside Apple Stores on Feb. 2 to see the Vision Pro’s stunning debut, but dissatisfied customers are returning their headsets this week. Why? Apple’s 14-day return period expires on Feb. 16 for day one Vision Pro users. It looks like…

Beverly Hills is facing an invasion by bums. = = = = = START BEAUTIFUL QUOTE: For inhabitants of the country’s most sought-after ZIP code, the unwelcome news came in December: In a move to pressure the city to zone for more affordable housing, a restrictive ruling by a Superior Court judge put a moratorium…

WOW!
Via MSN: = = = = = START QUOTE: JPMorgan Chase and institutional investors BlackRock and State Street Global Advisors announced Thursday that they are quitting or, in the case of BlackRock, substantially scaling back involvement in a massive United Nations climate alliance formed to combat global warming through corporate sustainability agreements. In a statement,…

Yaaaayy!
Purely personal. The latest version of courseware was completed in July, and I submitted it to the publisher. Supposedly they had a deadline of Dec 31 to check it over and send it out. They wanted me to verify that it can work in the Canvas LMS. Canvas is now the most popular LMS, overtaking…

Amazing!
Federal courts are starting to make a few SANE decisions, counteracting the Gaian demons who are trying to kill all peasants so Bezos can own the world. 1. The Osage, who have been at the bottom of the economic totem pole for decades, are finally winning an important battle. In the area between Ponca and…

Witch hunts end…
When the torches start burning the igniters. This applies to all sorts of evil fads and trends, not just witch hunts. Harvard seems to have broken the long-term wildly destructive trend of credentialism when its highly credentialed president and Chief Inquisitor foolishly inquisited Correct Persons. Now the broad movement against college is accelerating, which is…

Not out of place!
Speaking of autonomous vehicles, here’s the real thing, right where it should be! Wonder if this is where they bought it?

Hope everyone copies this law!
Via ArsTechnica, Britain is requiring software firms to notify users in advance of their endless psychopathic updates which always destroy functionality and prevent work. Apple is threatening to leave Britain. GOOD! I hope all countries enact similar laws so Apple will leave all countries.

Fed breaks Parkinson!
Jerome Powell is the ONLY problem solver in this fucked former “country”. Everyone else at all levels is manufacturing problems and evils at an exponentially increasing rate. Now Powell has added another achievement: He broke the unbreakable Parkinson. He REPEALED a Federal program! Not quite as big as repealing a whole agency, but still unprecedented…

A real unintended consequence
Most allegedly unintended consequences are clearly intended after you understand the Machiavellian purposes of the monsters. Results only look accidental or “failed” when you delusionally assume that the monsters want peace and happiness and normal lives for normal people. Despite all the “censorship” (mostly the old Banned In Boston trick) the web has brought a…

Another great quote
Seen at EnidBuzz facebook page as usual. This one is a bit too long to put in the top icon, but I want to remember it. I got sober because I wanted a better life. I stay sober because I have one.
