My Tacoma is a doctrinaire prick. Or it’s being maliciously complaint because it harbors a grudge for some reason.
On our drive to Elyria, I wanted to switch to a different audiobook. The audiobook app on my phone responded with:
“The library function cannot be accessed while…”
I didn’t try to display the rest of that sentence because some attention should be given to driving, but it probably ended with “driving”.
I went out to Polen Implement in Elyria to get a new spindle for my John Deere lawn tractor. Sparky wanted me to know that he was really enjoying the car ride.
I was looking for new TV shows, and Ride or Die came up. I do some research on IMDB before trying a new show.
Here’s the premise:
Debbie discovers that her friend of 20 years, Judith, is secretly an assassin.
That seems awfully unlikely. If the premise is too outlandish, it’s difficult to suspend disbelief.
This afternoon, Sparky startled a rabbit that was grazing outside the safety of the dense brush. Rather than engage in a futile chase, Sparky decided to shit where it eats.
Sparky says that amongst beagles and other woodland animals, that is a humiliating insult.
New York school deploys AI teaching robot from company linked to sex bots
The first potential steps toward another profession being wiped out by AI are being taken in New York. When students in the Salamanca City Central School District in Western New York return to school in the fall, they will find a new teaching assistant: a robotic one powered by artificial intelligence.
People who don’t understand technology or learning, have always predicted that the new technology will make teachers obsolete.
This is stupid. The National Weather Service predicts ‘patchy smoke’ for the rest of the day. Remember when the weather report only had to forecast how hot and wet it was going to be?
Stupid Canada.
Please read the platform for the Democratic Socialists of America, and see if you an find anything more than fantasies and conspiracies.
Socialism is greed and envy for people with no skills.
Two historical facts.
The Soviet Union was the USSR. That stands for the United Soviet Socialist Republic. They were international socialists.
Nazi is the abbreviation for the German name “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”, in English, that is the National Socialist German Workers Party. They were national socialists.
There are almost a thousand billionaires in the US, but only one seems to be doing anything fun.
While Sparky and I were groveling in place to avoid getting emphysema from the Great Canadian Dumpster Fire, somebody mowed my field.
Sparky doesn’t need to catch a rabbit, he just likes being in the game.
