I have been hearing a radio notice asking folks to promote this area...dates are cheaper here than anywhere else in the USA...actually I think this is from a date farm out in a rural area...but 2 bucks a pound for fresh dates is a damn good price...it is worth the ride...also the temps are worth mentioning since I had to put on my air conditioner in the truck yesterday...maybe 74 degrees...it seems to me that since there are a couple of airports here a person could fly into Yumertonville and get a room for a month and thaw out...if you are a spy or something like that (there are a lot of spies here since there is a marine corp air station) you maybe can get special spy discount...but the bus service is almost non-existent so you might want to rent a car...there are a lot of activities for the so called snow-birds so don't be a stranger to the desert...enough of that..
I have been waiting for the news to bust loose with the earth shattering news about VL-JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture) which I was alerted to by a post by Julia McCoy...her alter ego is Dr. McCoy and she wears a star trek shirt...but don't be alarmed...maybe a little alarmed...anyhow Yann LeCun who was Metas chief of AI has begun to promote this innovation in computation...I am not well versed enough to understand all of the intricacies of this change in computer architecture but there are several good presentations on YouTube which indicate a much improved method ....uses less energy too
one of the most common advertisements on the YouTube presentations is the promotion of bath soaps, deodorants and other scent related products....it seems that we are being told that people stink....this is a fiction....people smell like any other mammal might smell....Animalogic posted a piece about maned wolves recently and we had this species in a zoo I worked in...they have a strong smell which is normal for them....also the binturongs have a strong smell...and the tamanduas have a strong smell...and many others also...I think people are so used to perfumes that when they smell a person without artificial scents they think the person is dirty or un-cleaned or flawed...not so....also all people do not smell the same...I imagine back before there were a lot of perfumed people a person could differentiate between different peoples aroma....
as usual the clash of "security" with "citizens" has led to fatalities....I repeat...DO NOT CONFRONT...you may think you are going to change things but you are mistaken...many if not most of the people in uniforms have PTSD ok...they are as fearful of being damaged as the protestors...they are law enforcement...what are they doing?... they are enforcing the law....please do not inflame the situation more than it is already inflamed...yes mistakes have been made...only a live person can point this out...stay alive
some good YouTube presentations I watched recently are "jungle wildlife rescue/the junglekeeper podcast" (30min) this guy seems to be doing good work and I may send him $5...he is wearing a tamandua t-shirt...the lesser anteater...he is right about elephants...they have more going on with intelligence than most people who have never walked next them and felt their "vibrations" will ever know..."Before Electricity;Inside a water powered sawmill that still works today"-RaW machines(32min)..."Nutmeg. mace and the four small islands that changed the world" (1hr 51min) OTR food and history...this is a fascinating account of how much society will pay for spices....back then nutmeg was worth as much as gold..."The most terrifying man in the Vietnam war"(13min) @DarkDocs...this is about a fellow nick-named "MAD-DOG"...for a good reason...he was an effective killer...
I am watching a short piece on the news about some kid who is sueing various online businesses which he claimed cause him discomfort? because he paid more attention to a screen than to nature...nature is the cure for screen damaged brains...wake up people! the internet (social media) is not the problem...the problem is "balance" in ones sensory input...
watched some good music also...I might as well confess...I just watched the grammy nominations and I did not recognize one single person nominated...anyhow to offset the extreme bass of "crash test dummies' I would like to recommend "The Froobsons" "the running kind"(the French family band...they are actually from Australia I think)..this kid has a great voice...the song I think is from M. Haggard...also "Why are you following me" By Emanuella Hutter from Hillbillie Moon Explosion is quite creative...this woman has a lot of talent...and some mystery!...
