"A stone thrown ..."


 as I was gathering my belongings into my truck to move yesterday morning (it only took 5 hours!) I nearly gathered up this beautiful reptile before my monkey brain recognized the potential danger of doing so...I got it into a bucket and dumped it 50 yards away unhurt except for its pride perhaps....

as I watch the early morning news I see where the federal government has not figured out how to make government work...yet...I listened with some interest of the Albanian governments utilization of Artificial Intelligence in their government..actually in the position of administrator of some sort...this makes much more sense than waiting for elected persons to do their job...to the detriment of a smoothly operating government ....when the supplemental food allocation is not available I am sure that hungry people will be less controllable than the well fed...however...as more businesses reduce their workforce more people need to find "rewarding" occupation of their time...when I look around to see what needs to be done it occurs to me that there is much trash that could be picked up....just a suggestion....the television is quite keen on the jewelry which was stolen in France...not edible...lets move on...I hear a lot of dis-satisfaction about the current POTUS guy tearing down a building to put up another building...one of the problems in the USA today is the ossification of society/government....change is needed to keep fresh ideas coming into use...AND!!!...the current POTUS guy is old and will "shuffle off this mortal coil" soon enough...buildings are the least of the problems in this country....some useful Youtube presentations (with hopeful ideas) are as follows..."Why doctors say "OpenEvidence" is a game changer"...this presentation illuminates how effective AI will be in reviewing massive amounts of information to make better and faster medical decisions...."the operation was a success but the patient died" is not a good thing..."What is Biocomputing" (BBC news) 6:41 is about using living cells for computational purposes....PsycHacks "Weed is more dangerous than you think" is concerned with the psychological reasons people get high...some true some not...Lex Fridman interviews Julia Shaw about her specialty which is "criminal psychology of murder"...she also speaks eloquently about sex and sexual preferences etc...well worth the time (2hours 42min)..." How Chinese cartels took over Maine with no law enforcement response" ...this is pretty scary stuff...."How English Archers Made Knights obsolete in one afternoon"...ouch! this intriguing historical documentary gives one much food for thought about the future of all warfare...(22 minutes)

got to go now..."miles to go before I sleep"
