What's for dinner ?

I put together a two day soup for dinner. Mixed veggie which include sliced okra, tomato sauce, hamburger, and spices. I fixed a pan of cornbread. I'm probably the only guy around that prefers cornbread with chili, beans, soup, and for desert.

I plan to add some diced jalapenos to my soup. The wife.. no way.

Disappearing photos

He's really bad with tech. I do know that I helped him change his password some time ago, but they keep giving him crap about it. They should let people keep their old passwords instead of forcing them to switch and then they can't remember the new one, or maybe any. I think all the old photos are not there, only pretty recent. I had helped to put them in albums years back and would certainly recognize them. How can goo even be contacted? I'm sure they go to A LOT of trouble to prevent that...

Caturday

Our cat has taken to sleeping or just keeping watch at night in our bedroom window. Late last week and again last night she has either slipped off or fell asleep and fallen off the window sill. I suspect she was asleep because she is landing with such a crash that I doubt she landed on her feet. She is starting to show her age. :(
Or cats like the window too. But they sit and go crazy when the Jays (scrub Jays) land on the platform outside the window to pick-up the peanuts we leave out for them.

Yeah, we like to mess with the cats.

Really nasty

There are things AI can't, or won't, do: I uploaded a couple of videos of AI being stupid and not being able to shut up... even Alexa (aka "Bimbo in a Bowling Ball") likes to tell me things like, "I have a suggestion for (whatever we're doing). Would you like to hear it?" If I tell Alexa to stop sending me suggestions, it shuts up; doesn't even acknowledge my statement; and continues to suggest thin

if i find out a friend has alexa or similar i love asking it inappropriate questions about current events

six million cookies, immigration, etc.

i get off on making absurd and/or unkind searches with it, fully relishing the fact that i am skewing results for future searches long after i am gone

like an immortal irritant to those who use AI

imagine someone you do or dont know is speaking to their phone or whatever to make a search and you sneak up and say 'Yulin Dog Meat Festival!' or 'truth about the U.S.S Liberty' or the equivalent

good times!

Interesting Articles.. post some interesting articles that other might enjoy.

I never gave too much thought to the word "parsec" when I heard it in a sci-fi show; I just thought it sounded cool.

With apologies for the FB link, here's Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining the term very well (and simultaneously explaining why he doesn't like it).


Any Time is Grillin Time

My meatloaf was almost excellent. I had my meat probe in center mass of my loaf and it registered 162° before I removed it from the smoker. The taste was very good. The mix, if it could be duplicated, would be my go to loaf. However, the top inch or so of the loaf wasn't quite done. I am satisfied it was plenty safe to consume and I did just that. When we were finished eating, I baked it for an additional fifteen minutes in a 350° oven. My guess is the 20 mph wind that we had this afternoon was pulling the heat off the top of the smoker. I've never had this happen before. I'll do a bit or random instant read probs my next loaf to insure it is done from top to bottom. I'm looking forward to my meatloaf sandwiches tomorrow.
