The Bicentennial, in 1976, was a big deal. The National Park Service, probably at Yellowstone, named a bison, “Tennial”. That seemed awfully clever.

I’m out of anything new to watch, so I went to a Korean TV series I’ve been sitting on for a while.
It’s your standard zombie outbreak centered on the situation at the high school, but man, Koreans go hard. When the zombie horde finally breaks into a classroom, they go charging in like a bunch of hornets. Some keep going, and crash through the window and plummet to the ground.
It’s different. But it’s dubbed in English, so not too different.
My sister used ChatGPT to portray Sparky as a samurai. Sparky thinks that’s a good idea, but I’m not so sure.
Gayle’s career and notoriety are based on her being Black and being a woman. Both of those attributes led her to befriend Oprah Winfrey, and that probably did more for her career than anything else. She is dumb, and doesn’t know it.
Gayle’s show, CBS Mornings, averages a million viewers. There are 41,000 Youtube channels with over a million subscribers, with videos getting two or three times that many views. Gayle isn’t special.
The Blue Origin all-women flight was a trivial exercise that I addressed in a post about a month ago. Now that the flight is over, the behavior of some of the participants is shockingly offensive.
When I was a grad student at Clemson in 1985, I bought a 1974 Yamaha RD200 for $400. That’s $1200 in real money. My intention was to save money on gas.
A weather front came in, so we got a short downpour. Storms make Sparky squirrelly, so he suggested that we open up the birthday vodka from my sister. Sparky said when traveling abroad, he had some and really liked it, but that was a long time ago.
Sparkidemus makes an appearance for Good Friday.
After watching a few episodes of The Chosen, Sparky decided that the pharisees were dicks, but Nicodemus seemed like a decent guy.
Drug to Extend Dogs’ Lives May Be Approved by FDA
The drug aims to extend the lifespan of senior dogs and maintain their quality of life as they age, building on the company’s previous RXE acceptance for a longevity drug specifically targeting the short lifespan of large breed dogs.
I don’t get how this works. I assume that dogs and people have similar physiologies, and two years living with Sparky hasn’t changed my mind. I have a developed prefrontal cortex and Sparky can poop whenever he wants, otherwise, our bodies work pretty much the same way.
Australia unveils jam-proof quantum tech that’s 50 times more accurate than GPS
Instead of relying on satellites, Q-CTRL’s system can read the Earth’s magnetic field, which varies slightly depending on location (like a magnetic fingerprint or map). The system can determine where you are by measuring these variations using magnetometers.
GPS is one of those “living in the future” technologies that we rely on, but don’t think about much because it works seamlessly. An extensive array of satellites are required to keep it working. It would be great to have an accurate backup system.
