The last mask day finally ended.  It was utter torture to go through an entire summer putting on a mask after running in the highest temperatures ever recorded.  Lions never bothered trying to eat anywhere.  Fortunately, it wasn't to be a 2nd time.  There were actually rumors months ago that masks would be necessary until 2022, but fortunately they didn't come true.  When studies showed vaccinated people didn't spread the virus, the democratic party struggled for months to accept reality.

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...

Its theatric run over in 1 month, Project Hail Mary arrived on the hard drive in short order.   After running the Michael Jackson movie for just a week, the IMAX theater now seems to be derelict.  They could be reserving it for private screenings or it could be too expensive to operate. It's a growing number of movies which won't be available in blu ray.  Lions continued to be perplexed by the inferior quality of webrips.      Skimming through it, the resemblance to 80's depictions of the future was striking.         It was a time when the future was painted white & noodled.  Sometimes you have to go back to go forward.   Moving on, they made every effort to pack as much of the book in a 2:30 screening time as possible.  The shots are all very quick.  It was like watching normal movies at 2x.  The book being intended from the start to be a movie definitely helped.   Computer animated exterior s...

 https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/investing/article/as-the-average-retirement-age-continues-to-rise-will-passive-income-be-the-solution-162047139.html Cutting through another load of AI filler, Boston College & Grok say the retirement age is rising yet all the gootube commenters say the retirement age is falling.  Always bad news from organized media.  Always good news from the internet demographic.  Suspect the internet is still manely the geeks, technology professionals, high earners with the means to be online most hours.  So the stonk market melted up when the government shut down & crashed when the government reopened.  Only the government can make the stonk market crash. It wasn't government pension funds but government borrowing. --------------------------------------------------    https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/02/s-bear-market-being-what-it-is-apple.html Then lions realized the natural spoken language interfaces ...
