Last Notes npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Drunken Pete and his goons systematically destroy the military and weaken the US. "Drones? No need to learn, they are probably woke. We want traditional infantry..." npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Watch your purchasing managers... They can kill your company. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke So in my home state in Germany there is a forest on fire, the largest wildfire in the history of North Rhine-Westfalia. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Plan for tomorrow: build a little rocket with a 12 year old... Machined the parts, he will have to finish them and put it together... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke awesome! And the goal is not to have a huge harvest under grow lights, just a few tomatoes with seeds will suffice npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Just canceled my old web store, which was one of these all in one solutions (think Shopify but not Shopify). And it cost $3600 per year. Now running the same store on an open source store software that is better than the paid shop. On a small VPS with 1 core and 8 GB Ram, at a cost of $200 per year. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I scored a leftover very sad yellow pear tomato plant at the local Home Depot.... I have two places that still may have Brandywine... Or could ask friends to steal a few blossoms from their Brandywine plant. Project can be marked as started 🙂 npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke You are inspirational... This favorite tomato problem has been in my mind for about 15 years. I needed someone as geeky about it for a starting point. This will be fun! npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke and I was thinking Brandywine as the male parent, pear as the female. The Sungold seeds are small, like the seeds in the pear. Brandywine seeds are large. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I have the feeling I might be starting some Brandywine and some pear tomatoes right now in pots... I have enough led lights to finish them in the basement... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke yellow pear? npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I have successfully grown Brandywine... Now we need a complete collection of yellow tomatoes that were available in Japan in the 1990s... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I am not sure how complex the genetics are... I should work on a few simple traits like in peas, but the size and flavor might be way more complex. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I did not know that, they are eaten before that state 🙂 npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke once the stepsons are out of the house I should pick up tomato breeding ... Summers in Minnesota, winters in New Zealand, to speed things up. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke found this... The parents are secret npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke if I remember my genetics right, in F2 it should split parent1/F1/F1/parent2. So you would have a 50 % chance to have the correct Sungold. Let me dig in a bit more, I have a friend at the university who is a tomato expert. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke project for next year! Buy Sungold and Sunsugar and grow them next to each other, then taste test and compare 🙂 npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke if I remember correct the Sungold is a F1 hybrid, so they all should be hand pollinated from the different parent plants. But in nature there is beautiful variety, so it might just be a quirk. As long as you have a steady supply of the little flavor bombs... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke they are about as sweet as Sungold, a tad more a yellow hue and a bit bigger. But not the typical Sungold flavor. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I did not mean to purposefully mislabel them, thought more of an accidental mixup of seeds or plants, since the name is so similar. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Sungold are my all time favorite tomatoes! Could it be that the farm stand had the Sunsugar variety and mislabeled them? I grew them last year, they are a bit bigger but don't have the flavor. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke In other #gardening news, I have 2 giant pumpkins started in the backyard pumpkin patch. One has decided to live right next to the fence, not ideal... The other one has sufficient space... They are about 20 to 30 lbs, but starting to grow fast. Without any attention I got them to 110 lbs in past years, goal this year, with a bit more attention, is 200 lbs ... We will see .. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Good morning from smokey Saint Paul! The fires in northern Minnesota and Canada are sending heavy smoke down here, and even a couple of hours after sunrise the sky is an eerie orange. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Small protest remembering the 52 people that died in ICE custody. Organizations zed by the Sunrise Movement. We only learned about it because stepson is a medic at the event, hard to find online, seems they only posted it on Instagram. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke We turned the lawn in our front yard into a little patch of prairie. Now we have monarchs and a wide range of other insects. And something is always blooming. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I bet that will work in any Home Depot npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke @npub1vc3…axsh quick question, have you heard about a DDoS attack on Clubexpress? They provide webpages and club management for thousands of clubs and senior living communities in the US. Websites have slowed to a crawl since last Friday. They say it is no breach but DDoS, fighting it themselves. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I was thinking more about the design of the actual experiment. If I come up with a sequence of 15 steps to get to a chemical, and that sequence is not known, and not obvious to an expert, I can patent that sequence of steps. But what if that sequence was derived and suggested by the AI system? In that case the inventive step by a human is missing, I would suspect you can not file a patent for the sequence of 15 steps and the sequence would be in the public domain. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke one interesting detail they did not address is the intellectual property aspect of this. It was recently rules that you can not have copyright on text (and code?) or images generated with "AI" systems. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Minnesota is prosecuting ICE agents for their crimes. Sadly too slow. But these are State charges, so the president can not pardon them. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke so we used about half of our tomahawks and 60 to 70% of our and Israel's air defense missiles to destroy 30% of Iran missiles?! Sounds less than ideal.. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I think the first tomatoes will be ripe when the plants can be planted outdoors in mid May.... I always start them a bit too early, and it seems this year I got the light levels perfect... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke very smart move! See, ai agents soon will have access to the owner's bank account, so they can spend money. Therefore it makes perfect sense to advertise to them. So if you own the platform you can sell ads. To bots. Just like Facebook. Huge business potential. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke you may share that a day early ... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke we need to file lawsuits for every single of these cases, demand outrageously high damages... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Shit, #ice shot and killed a woman in #Minneapolis #Minnesota npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke we do have 240V 3 phase, been around since the 30s. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke if we assume a US outlet at 110V and limited to 10A, that capacitor would take about 10 million hours to charge. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Hey #minnesota friends... I think it is time to start a massive effort to get our politicians, the #press and institutions off "x" and the other toxic platforms. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Oh shit, I missed that namecheap was taken over by private equity in September 2025. That means the enshitification will soon begin. I just parked a few domains over there, because they were less expensive npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke yes, we need special permission to use the air space and are in constant contact with the FAA during a launch. The rockets are loaded with electronics that measure speed and altitude and deploy parachutes. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke very nice high power rockets. We have an annual student competition at our rocket club launch site here in Minnesota. They will fly to 5000 to 15000 ft. And the students really enjoy the engineering challenge. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Pollinating the indoor lemon tree this morning.... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke unfortunately I have not been able to go to the ice protests, but my younger stepson attended several as a medic. All very upsetting, my direct neighbors are from East Africa and very afraid, even though they have citizenship. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke they look great! I fail every year at growing them here in Minnesota. I think the time between frozen ground and summer heat is just too short. We gave maybe 4 weeks of cool weather. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke These LLMs are really smart and soon will take over their world... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke all the money in the trump account will be invested in a trump casino npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Ok, I have the turkey... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke hmm, since I did not grow up with thanksgiving turkey I may not have preconceived opinions on how it must be prepared. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke #Aurora is significantly weakening at 10.25 central time, compared to the deep red at about 7.00 pm npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke The solar storm is starting to hit and a strong #aurora is starting to develop npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke we Minnesotans know this one... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Good news in #portland npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Last time we needed the Canadians to burn down the White House... This time we are doing it ourselves... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke and if you have a small business, start your own Mastodon (or Fediverse) server. A small managed instance can be as little as $6 per month. Gets you away from all the corporate social media... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke The #nyt is getting scared of the numbers, so they are not reporting them.

Police looks low key, securing the wider area in normal outfits (no riot police). npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke We are in Chicago right now and will be there tomorrow npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Here some quick info... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Hey Minnesota friends, npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Bloom County always has these neat little details... Like the new American flag design... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke The enshitification of Amazon has progressed so much that I stopped buying there, but also started winding my sales down. I have had an Amazon store for almost 15 years, and initially it was good. But now the fees are almost 25% of sales and products disappear behind piles of advertising for loosely related products. And all the automation prevents real interaction with customers, they would rather have returns than let me help customers. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke the Escher head shape fettuccini npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke the last I saw was that the shrimp and the spice facility were about 500 km apart? Don't quote me on the distance... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke having lived through a little Cs137 event I wonder where this is coming from. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke and an AI CEO and board could solve one of the biggest problems in companies: filtered information. These days, CEOs get information filtered through many layers of management. An AI CEO could read every email, see every order, hear every phone call and attend every meeting in a company. With all that information the AI CEO(TM) could make much, much better decisions than any human CEO. At a fraction of the cost (plans starting at $10,000 per month).

Mostly historical stuff. We should start a fundraiser to add a RFK jr and MAGA section... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke When you make an AI slop website, make sure to remove the AI answer lines ... npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke I had seen this mid May, but can not find an updated version npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke We went to the summer outing organized by #minnesota State Rep Dave Pinto. Many State Reps, our Major Melvin Carter and Governor Tim Walz attended. All still traumatized by the murders of Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and the shooting of Sen John Hoffman and his wife. But there were no calls for revenge, no hate. The tenor of the speeches: we are better than that. npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke More Opus... Turns out he did not only overstay his tourist visa, by 43 years, but now comes out as trans waterfowl ... (And to my #trans friends... In the Opus comic world this is meant supportive. Sometimes his character is a bit hard to grasp... He is an a bit naive penguin confronting conservative idiots...) npub1qz4qvgdcpf3fz5n8nknrperezr5j8cevzd3j8r4wr2pp5em8p48sl7fz6y Carsten Franke Hey, does anybody in the medical profession have contacts in the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, area? There is a strange spike in Covid wastewater data. About 70x the surrounding areas and national average. Could be a data error. Or something interesting going on.
