Confirmed the lion kingdom has been on a hospital circuit for the last 22 years, hence why there have been no rolling blackouts.  The luck ran out with a 4 hour super outage.

Tried getting in some cat naps, since sleeping after running 9 miles is impossible without a shower.  In the total darkness, with no electronics running, it gets surprisingly lonely in the dumpy apartment.  It's like a lion brain interprets electronicals as other animals.  


Concepts that keep lions up night: If the lion kingdom retired 10 years ago, it would have run out of money by now.  It's been over $1/4 million in rent since then, enough to build several houses in Texas in pre Bide money.   Rent goes to $2500 next year & $3000 in 2024.  It's not counted in the CPI because it's averaged against rent in Detroit which is 0.

Interest might be a legit way to make money in the short term, maybe.  If that pans out, a lot of animals could pull out of the stonk market to chase short term interest.  Debt isn't the factor it was 20 years ago.  No-one borrows money for housing anymore.  It's the opportunity cost of interest approaching stonk yields.

    It was time to take on the lion kingdom's 1st 1 star movie. It honestly wasn't as bad as the Dictator, Bedazzled, Monty Python.  Most of the hate was from comparing it to the classic.  Visuals were good for animals who are into castles.  Wonder Heroine as the villain was a good twist.  It was bat shit boring.  Tedious jobs like dialog writing are all automated now & that's definitely not as bad as other movies.  Automated 3D model generation has made modern visuals very lavish.  If only that level of detail could be done in realtime for VR goggles.    Zegler was back from her previous engagement in district 12.   The mane redeeming factor for lions was evil Wonder Heroine.     & finally the Joan of Arc scene everyone hated.    & the ending just fizzled.  It seems they're trying to depart from the physicality of past heroine warriors & make them more like housewives.  It's h...

  The lunar eclipse situation. Diced tomato spagetti 2.  Plain noodles shining through the diced tomatos, meatballs, oregano, pepper, & cheese still has what it takes.  It's better than watered down sauces with tiny bits of meat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again pondered if the S & P is another Nikkei 225. The nikkei is back where it last collapsed, 40 years ago, with a similar rate of increase in the last 25% but slower in the preceding years.  Maybe the index fund play has worn out or maybe it hasn't. Both the S&P & the Nikkei doubled in the last 5 years.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Finally tracked down the Sun bootloader font from many decades ago & put it in Cinelerra as gallant12x22.  Put Sun Gallant Demi into the goog to get useful results. https://github.com/dim13/gallant/tree/master/ttf   It's a fixed point font in an archaic format.  Some guy converted it into a TTF with a lot of antialiasing.  He has a PNG image showing no antialiasing.  It has to be set to size 22 & requires a threshold to get rid of the antialiasing.  Freetype might be shifting it 1/2 pixel vertically. It had a kind of curiosity value, but lions have had no need for any fixed point fonts besides the 24pt Sony of CAEDM fame. Another hit said it was 1 of the fonts available in kernel framebuffer mode.  Lions haven't used kernel framebuffer mode in decades.  It could possibly replace 24pt Sony if lions wrote a fixed point converter. As for the other Sun lore, there's some potato cam footage of the Sun flight simulator, Aviator.  You ...
