 Finally upgrading the resource window, it became clear that young lion once envisioned storing assets & clips in different bins, which the user could create.  It was to be a complete filesystem of assets, clips & bins inside the EDL.  A lot of dead code handles folders.  Over 30 years, lions never had a need for such a feature & forgot it was ever started.  The most convenient way to create clips & bins ended up being to create nested EDL files in the native filesystem.  Lions use that all the time.  It would have to be a pretty big project to subdivide the assets into different folders in the current EDL.  There was also a complicated mechanism of referencing all the EDL objects from fixed listbox tables & then further referencing a subset of items in the fixed tables from the current listbox.  There was a lot of room for dangling pointers, race conditions, & memory leaks. It was intended for fast navigation between ...

    Who knew SC had higher income tax below $40k than Calif* & SC has higher sales tax than Calif* did 30 years ago.  Lions are dropping to 8% before they leave Calif*.  They already dropped into lower social security tax brackets.  A lion would be better off renting in Palm Springs than a great many other states.  Also, if there were no parents, the entire country was on the table & finances weren't as tight, lions still ponder if they would move to FL.  Influencers seem happy in the rainy northwest, but lions aren't convinced it's real.  Dave Plummer is an indoor guy with 12000 sq ft.  Ray Delahanty travels more often than he's in Portland.  Happy on Monday &  Ms Gen Xodus are definitely indoor women.  Lions were indoor animals 40 years ago. The rainy northwest might have worked for 10 year old lions & created a lot of warm fuzzy memories, but there's no going back.  Lions have to bring back food & ex...

     Pondered uploading the complete, uncut run down nihilistic canyon, since they're not going to open it anymore.  It has joined the bay bridge crossing in valhalla.   It seems there was a peak in bike path engagement, 20 years ago.  It was brought on by generation X's burnout after 2001.  That generation is now gone.  The Elon era has brought in a generation of workaholics.  They're pushing for office space, factories.  All they post are photos of  factories & offices.   Of course, Tesla becoming the largest employer in the last 20 years has changed things. One does not mention closing a road to cars or building any more bike paths.  It's kind of like Detroit without any music.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4cxP__LuVQ    More lost 80's.  Late 80's c...

 Watching Hollow Man, manely at 2x, lions constantly pondered why they didn't always use their goggles & surveillance cameras to get the guy.  It was a leap in 3D animation for the time.  Back then, it was all about hitting a record in polygon count.  Now, polygon count isn't a factor anymore & it's all about labor. Jay Leno on TV at night while our man is sitting at his PC, big CRT TV's, Porsche 911's, the biotech revolution, the lack of cell phones, the go fever of startup employees, really brought back that era.       Generation X was shown at its peak.  Lions like others have started to notice generation X looking a lot younger in those days than generation Z at the same age. Have definitely noticed how much generation Z women resembled daddy at a young age, while generation X didn't resemble their parents until their 40's.   Lions found the bitchy red head the hottest, though they're now all too young to turn lions on.  She ...

 Being back at 2g of vitamin C every morning, as well as slowing down the cadence made a slight improvement.  It became possible to run every day at 11min/mile & slower without cumulative tendinitis.  It wasn't a slam dunk.  9 minute miles & 180 steps/minute seem to be permanently out of reach.  The pungent smell of soy beans returned.  Spring valley tablets are made in China, probably from soy beans.  Fortunately, the summer heat makes higher speeds impractical regardless of age.   The philosophy was to try to get supercompensation from speed work, but after 6 months of various speeds & number of intervals, every combination only reduced speeds in the long term.  Lions may have run their last 6 minute pace.  There definitely needs to be an extended time before the next race in which no intervals will be run. Effects of aging were most unexpected.  Instead of muscle atrophy, heart attacks, or arthritis, the problem ...

 The lion kingdom embarked on a study of kayaking around KSC.  The off limits bodies of water seem rather poorly documented.  Goog hit an old fashioned personal website with limited maps & random text descriptions.  https://www.kayakingksc.com/ that guy is a badged KSC employee which allows him more access.  For the rest of us, the Banana river north of the NASA causeway is off limits.  It has motion sensors which go off if anyone goes under that bridge.  https://www.kayakingksc.com/No-Motor-Zone.html     Motorized boats are not allowed on the Banana river north of the 528.  The shores north of the 528 seem to be off limits.  KARS park has a $5 fee.  An extended area of water on the east side is marked off limits with buoys. Banana river is closed north of the 528 during rocket launches.  That covers the Banana river.   The Banana river would be a good place to see starship barges, but not the contents. -----...
