wait, just wait,
for *all* the property insurance underwriters to go to congress for bailouts.
they are all way over-exposed.
that's -imo- the Oct Surprise
I've wondered *for decades* when the ins biz was going to throw their hands up over global warming.
after all,
they have the most financial skin in the money game.
The Fed Gov is the insurer of last resort
&
we've seen it already
but it's just beginning.

just a fwiw
post 1976 (which I remember)
and pre-1980 (which I also remember)
was a phase which I don't (remember) very well
was a local stagehand & krewe chief for a regional c&w act out of baton rouge, la.us
drove a total beater porsche 912, leaking bondo, pioneer kp292 taped under the dash, homemade jensen 6x9 speakers
picked up a lot of hitchhikers;
al dimeola, mahavishu orch, jeff beck, etc, the cassette box
kept my sabbath in the door pocket

it's bugging me.
really
All those long decades ago,
my 1st job where I really used this tech;
the nascient structure was already built, & when we'd 'su' to root, the font changed to 'scrawl' so the the ops *knew* they were working as root.
I've never known how that was done,
Nor, have found that font! lol!
I liked it a lot.

did you ever figure out how to set the terminal font?

2024-08-09 20:52:20

watched a thing
you know the type of action entertainment
where 'robot dogs' were the scary monsters.
&
yeah
they are scary
me, being me,
wondered how well monster robot fido would faire against an opponent armed with water balloons loaded with cheap paint blended with carpet glue, sand, & thinned with an appropriate solvent

I don't know how to say this
feeling vry discouraged today.
changed a lot of aspects of my walk thru this life long yrs ago. All added up to fuck-all.
I'll get over it
always have before
so will again
but now?
feels stupid and pointless

Oh!
Fwiw
this concoction would have been *fine* without nuts.
I like nuts, a lot.
but not everyone can eat them.
Could just (well, ok, not 'just') as easily 'sauted' (pan-fried) some cubes of tofu in place of the chicken & nuts.
&
will probably try that in the future

indeed.
I know the grief side of things.
many of us do
and that's a type of buffer.
I've also now pretty much lived past my use-by date
&
that is also a buffer of sorts
&
I've got things to do today
&
taking care of today sometimes is what I've got.
So, I try to work with that.

110f in the hoophouse this afternoon
soil temp, 90f
Plants can't run for the shade.
temp goes up,
sun shines,
they *must* grow!
the most effective herbicides stimulate growth beyond resouces.
*Moar*
*Water*
*Plz!*
No
not plz
*Naow!*
Right Now!
They are mostly unable to regulate co2, heat stress, sunlight, etc
they migrate by casting their fate in seeds, and we screw with even that. & that takes a long time.
Take Care of them!
because -at the very least- they take care of us.
Life!

for fun:
bc i was (for my age) kind of late to the game, my orig nic handle was cpm42
i was cool with it tho. you know, reasons
then internic went insane.
so, when we got signal handles (finally!) Again, I was late:
cpm.46
which, as a buddy explained, is actually better! it's The Wrong Answer!
