So I called customer service. Their hold music was the first 30 seconds of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik", repeated endlessly. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Yeah, that's the result of the Republicans controlling the Senate. Even if every Democrats screams "NO, NEVER!" on the floor it can still pass. The Democrats have to find ways to convince 3 Republicans to vote against and that requires the kinds of slimy statements Republicans want to hear. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Check out my new collection: npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Episode 44 of my retro modded Hardcore #minecraft journal is out: "Glorious Goodie Gathering" https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/3228271-old-familiar-friends-a-retro-hardcore-journal?comment=199 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Are you sure? My understanding is that pigeons are not one of the birds that can live that long (like some parrots). Here's a scientific paper claiming maximum pigeon lifespan is 35 years: https://dro.deakin.edu.au/ndownloader/files/37299709/1 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Episode 42:of my retro modded Hardcore #minecraft journal is out: "Plans Revealed.

This year is off the charts bad from a year which itself was off the charts bad from anything before. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Episode 38 of my retro Hardcore #minecraft journal is out: "Wall Work Wisdom" https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/3228271-old-familiar-friends-a-retro-hardcore-journal?comment=173 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Episode 37 of my retro Hardcore #minecraft journal is out: "Visions and Visitations" https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/3228271-old-familiar-friends-a-retro-hardcore-journal?comment=166 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams So sorry for your loss but Jack had a great life. 14 is a fantastic age for a rabbit. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams That's the story of the past ten years - the California legislature passes serious bills to address housing problems, but municipalities kneecap them. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I have used Ublock on Vivaldi and seen no ads on YouTube for 2 years. Glad DuckDuckGo is providing the feature too. On those occasions I see a YouTube vid by another system I don't understand how people can stand it. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams La Muerte says: Fight back against the surveillance society! #rabbit @npub15we…82cx npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Ray Bradbury was distressingly prescient. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams There are some studies showing certain measures of inflammation increase from seed oils (but remember it's a very complicated process) but the epidemiological studies show strong longevity benefits from high consumption of polyunsaturated oils (=seed oils, mostly). The monosaturated oils often recommeded as "healthier" were actually less good, although they were still better than saturated fats. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-03570-5 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I think La Muerte and Xibalba, like many residents of Greater Los Angeles, want to get into the movies because they are *super* camera aware. #rabbits npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Bryan Johnson has been running around doing dozens of different things he hopes will improve his lifespan. Some probably will, like calorie restriction. Most won't. But when you try as many untested things as he does it's basically guaranteed one of them will be bad for you - probably lots - and that will probably undo all the good of such things that help. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams One solution to this trust issue is public key cryptography. This allows proving a message comes from a particular sender without revealing the sender's identity. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams So inspiring to see all the love in your family. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Not opaque enough. Add some yeast out something. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Xibabla and La Muerte in "Breakout Attempts": npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I love the other photographers sensibly behind the fence eagerly taking pics of the idiot getting tossed. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Wow, it's been 2 years since Sitara got her assistant professorship?

Here are La Muerte and Xibalba (I know, not common rabbit names), recently adopted from @npub15we…82cx They're a brother/sister bonded pair. La Murte is the black-white mix and a lionhead. She is the brave one and constantly eating. Xibalba, her brother, all black except one cute white paw, is much more skittish and spends most of his time hiding in their tunnel area. But even so, my husband has managed to pet him a little. Looking forward to getting to know them better. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Carville has never been in the Democratic political party. He's married to a Republican political operative. He's in it for the money, and I'd be happy if he stopped pretending to be a Democrat. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Episode 29 of my retro modded Hardcore #minecraft journal is out: "Marble Moon Window Musings" https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/survival-mode/3228271-old-familiar-friends-a-retro-hardcore-journal?comment=131 npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams That would be totally helpful.

I'm 60 now and my interest has faded. There are a lot of things I miss from my youth but I don't feel much benefit from looking at or reading about them. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I treat most recipes as guidelines, except for baking, where you need to know how a recipe works pretty well before you piddle with it. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I played 3 Ring Circus once and would be interested in your take. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams If you drink every time somebody in the admin "2 weeks" their Iran mess, you're going to give yourself liver damage. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Supposedly Anthropic is using its own coding tools for much of its programming, so no surprise that its security is shit. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams What about Ivory Coast? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivory_(color) npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I am pleasantly astonished that a MSM outlet is actually calling Trump out on spewing nonsense. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams The Onion promises Infowars will be filled with ads and scams to the rafters. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Happy Birthday, Cenobyte! npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I really like Tasha Suri's writing. The Burning Kingdoms trilogy is even better than Empire of Sand and its sequel. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Is this a joke? npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Yeah, Becky Chambers is great. It's great to see sci fi with healthy interpersonal relations (and after reading Chambers, I realize how depressingly rare it it.) npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I've had the example of ungrounded AI claims. I was looking to see if allulose (a nonnutritive sweeter) would be toxic to my rabbit (like xylitol) and couldn't find anything. The annoying AI "summary" that popped up claimed it wasn't (reasonable, that's what I suspected). But I skeptically checked its sources, and none actually said anything about allulose. All just make up. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I can hardly wait for the first air traffic controller ragequit. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I enjoyed the Golem and the Jinni as well. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I suspect it would be an advantage for Tesla if Musk, the mastermind behind the Cybertruck, wasn't involved or interested in a new Tesla design. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams When I saw Oxbow had been sold I was very disappointed, as they had seemed to be a fairly good and scientific company. Disappointed but not surprised they are cutting corners and endangering out smol friends. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams There's all kinds of stuff on Mastodon. Lots of disagreement on politics and AI, two of the issues cited. I don't follow stuff I don't want to see, which pretty much means I don't see it. Occasionally I block when necessary. This isn't "echo chamber", it's quality of life. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I am not foreseeing smashing success for the likely forthcoming ground assault. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Reusing cups totally works for keeping your desk tidy! And if you put in something hot, like tea or coffee, at least once a day, nothing grows. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I would say you'd want a culture to find out what bacteria it is (or are) and what it's sensitive to. Just chucking antibiotics and hoping something works doesn't seem to be working. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams That many nuclear plants, at current construction costs, would be 500 billion dollars. California is wealthy, but not *that* wealthy. We'll continue with much cheaper solar, wind, and battery power. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Looks like real shortages should be already affecting Eastern and Southern Africa. Any reporting? I know the US press loves to ignore Africa. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Just got back from my local #nokings protest. I counted 1626 attendees, about the same as last time. But the driver response was very different! CONSTANT honking, constant waving; just tremendous support. Last time there was a lot, but not continuous like last time. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I did calorie restriction for several years and I found I felt much nore satisfied when I made sure my daily food meet all my nutritional requirements. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams From Ed Zitron's latest: npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams 1 billion an hour for AI compute? The entire industry is only getting 25 billion or so a year. According to this guy, you could run one server one day and then turn off every AI server on the planet for a year. I don't think he's very good at business. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I suspect in the end the bizarre gyrations of oil prices now will be similar to the repeated electricity blackouts in 90's California: corporate manipulation. The only question is who. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Billionaire conservative who sponsored all sorts of nasty causes dies in freak pickleball accident. Maybe there is a good force in the universe? npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Baby, It's Cold Outside. 1000 pieces. New York Puzzles. Untimed (done irregularly with my husband) npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams ICE "helping" at airports: npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Race "science" is bad science because the whole concept of race turned out to have no biological basis. "Science" is a term implying there is evidence and functional analysis, and using it gives race "science" credibility it doesn't deserve, and that influence laypeople in a bad way. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Is there a better term than "race science"? 'Cause it sure ain't science. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Beautiful setting for a beautiful bunny's pics. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I must say Galbor has a deep booming voice in my mind's ear. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Meh on that negative study. It shows the Dunning-Kruger effect can be created with random data. But this would only apply if the results of the knowledge tests were random, and they're not. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Never mind Palm Springs. It was 99 today in Orange (near the coast in Southern California for those not familiar with detailed California geography). npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams If Elio had been coded as "possibly queer" I'd have gone to see it. I skipped it as I'm getting tired of 'young protagonist saves the world stories'. But I'd have made an exception if they'd tackled some new themes as well. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Next stop the bunny Olympics! npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Also ignoring there's an entire ocean of alternatives to the Straits of Malacca - somewhat longer, but quite viable, unlike the Persian Gulf with only one way out. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I went on a fancy National Geographic tours with my mother 20 years ago as kind of "bucket list" thing for her. They *still* send me catalogs multiple times per year, even though I never would take them on my own dime. This includes catalogs for round-the-world jet trips at jawdropping prices that would have been out of my mother's price range as well. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams I figure some fancy furniture business needs to get its catalog numbers up to get a loan or some such. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams Video of a wild octopus interacting with a mirror. The octopus quickly figured out it's not dealing with a real octopus in the mirror, but I'm not so convinced it understood it as a reflection. npub1kh3yzszd3hq830tu5q5msafupzhqelu08lqdpwax84f7h2yhyrfq0nrzfe CurtAdams AI usage requirements + mandatory senior reviews of AI code = one hell of a bottleneck.
