13 bucks for 3 pounds of boiled LOUISIANA! crawfish at walmart...and worth it!
got to put this in first...ms. Greta is a hero(ine) along the lines of joan of arc and simone weil...weil is stephen wests favorite philosopher and she died at at around 33 years old from tuberculosis and being under-nourished because she would not eat any more food than she thought the army troops were getting...by most accounts she was very sensitive to other peoples suffering (weltsmerz?) she is said to have embraced "poverty, hunger and exhaustion"...( i personally sought to avoid those experiences" anyhow thunberg will likely not accomplish her goal of breaking the siege in gaza...and may lose her live in the bargain....
one of the good things about the steel and aluminum tariffs is that the price of salvage metals will go up accordingly so aluminum cans and food cans will be more recyclable...yeah!...
i spent several hours looking at lex fridman/ andrew huberman podcast/interviews last week...these men who are both Ph.D college instructors and researchers have a good rapport (i don't really like the term bro-mance) and i was able to take a lot of notes for further reference...dr. fridman does a good job of showing frame in frame images to illustrate the discussion...both of these men are what i call "body nazis" as they really like to work out with exercise equipment and also they are runners...these guys were both in tears while they talked about the death of their dogs.. dr. huberman says he still wakes up crying sometimes....dr. fridman had a 200 pound newfoundland (homer) and dr.huberman had a bulldog (costello)... as i also still get sentimental about the deaths of my dogs 40 years ago i respect their emotionalism...dr. huberman told dr. fridman that "your future wife is out there" and dr. fridman said "Yeah, she is being programed"...he insists that humans can have "relationships" with their refrigerators...i was amused to hear dr. fridman talk about wearing his cowboy hat when he travels to west texas from his austin home...he is a russian born jew who did much of his Ph.D. work at MIT in Cambridge, Mass. as a expert on AI and programing autonomous vehicles... i would highly recommend that Dr. fridman think about traveling to Australia to go on a several weeks camel trek....he will undoubtedly recognize the personality of camels as being very like a newfoundland dog...he may even seek to acquire a couple of camels of his own...much more excitinging than a dog...or a refrigerator....and there are 5 rounds of these two brilliant minds discussing the world and all that is in it...most of these encounters are over 3 hours long but worth the time...intellectual stimulation in abundance...these guys talk about their future families quite a lot...i recently saw a woman on youtube lamenting that dr, huberman was dating 6 women at the same time...i remember reading about one of the renowned physicist (maybe rutherford) who went to spend some time in a cabin in the woods and of course he brought along his lovely wife and also his girlfriend...the article said that he did some important physics work while on this sojourn....so maybe dr. huberman is one of those scientist who needs a lot of stimulation to work well...anyhow...one of the best music videos i saw last week was "sona jobarteh and band"..."Jabari" (9:39)...very good..
