I've been watching trains and the traffic jam from the concert that let out nearly an hour ago.

Deepfakes...

"Meanwhile, on the individual level, there seems to be little people can do short of not posting anything online."

I've been questioned many times why I don't want my image online. Well... This is one of the issues I could foresee decades ago. I knew technology. I'd seen it advance from discrete components through VLSI etc. Another issue, and even bigger issue is facial recognition.

Which asylum do I throw them in?

One in five milk samples has bird flu virus fragments, suggesting cow Infections are far more widespread than originally thought.

Pasteurization kills the virus so you are safe if you consume pasteurized milk products. Raw milk products are not safe. You can get sick from them.

Another thing dad mentioned is bird flu outbreak farms had many dead cats. Looks like bird flu may be killing cats.

2 engines up front, box car, followed by tank cars, a box car, and an engine at the rear.

I see this layout often. I wonder if the box cars are crush cans in case of accidents.

"Woman Stunned After She's Turned Down For Job Because She Didn't Wear Makeup For Interview"

What about chemical sensitivities? Do people realize how many chemicals are in makeup?

I found some of my old clothes neatly folded and stored in an old suitcase. Mostly t-shirts, dress shirts, and shorts I painted in. There also were a couple silk wrap dresses. Among them were a few silk 24A lace bras, some camisoles, and some silk tap pants. I don't know when I first fit 24A,. Obviously while I was still in HS. I was almost 19 when I first fit a 24B. Also there was the hat, veil, and outfit I wore home after burying my partner.

Yet another trip down fragmented memory lane triggered by seeing an old name from my youth. He was my 2nd crush/love. I've wondered how things would have been different if he hadn't been murdered. I let him use my studio to meet with divorce lawyers. ...

I end up with #Hyperacusis when I get tired.The ear has a bone and an muscle that tighten down to dampen loud sounds. When #MECFS makes me tired, it no longer has the energy to dampen down sounds.

This is extremely important for those with Long COVID and ME/CFS. ""Experts warn that exercise can "harm" and other approaches are needed"" Spread everywhere! You may help save lives.

I noticed this issue in myself long before I was diagnosed with ME/CFS. Nobody would listen. I kept getting told I need to exercise more. As a former farmer who was raising bull breed stock, getting enough exercise wasn't the problem. Too much was.

It was the day before my b-day. We were at the apartment I had quickly made in the building I'd recently bought and was doing major restorations on. I had enough sitting space for all of us but one. This was despite a couple comfy chairs having couples in each of them, a love seat with 3, and a 4 person sofa with 5 on it. /1

#Tesla #Cybertruck boat mode is totally possible, but don't think it will be great for saltwater. Saltwater + stainless steel + crevice + micro current = crevice corrosion that can go through stainless steel fast. From yesterday's video by Sandy Munro tells me crevices are built in at the weld between the door inner and door skin. I likely could find others around the body.

Technology disruption in energy, food, and transportation will help save us. We must keep the economy going to be able to afford paying for these changes that will help us attack #ClimateChange. Less is not a solution. It is a dead end. The first thing that goes out the door when stressful times is anything that costs money. As an example #solar is now cheaper to install than it costs to buy the gas to run a gas fired power plant. Add batteries, and one has a solution.

Every few years the percentage of income "thought" to be OK to spend on housing and transportation is increased. Eventually there will be none left for food, heat, and electricity.

"Lifting a 15 story building onto a 24 story building" in under an hour. If all goes well, #Starship will make a test flight launch at or soon after 7am Saturday, November 18th, Central US timezone. This is the most powerful rocket launched by over 2X of SLS and Saturn V. The planned trajectory is just short of full orbital velocity so if any issues happen, it comes down in a known area. I worry about the Raptor engines because they are still early versions.
