The lion kingdom started thinking about how much it costs to house all the refugees from every country getting overthrown by terrorist dictators.  Half of Calif* is homeless.  Trillions of doll hairs are printed to pay for housing the bottom 99%.  Only the top 1% benefits through exploding real estate valuations.


The alternative is printing trillions of doll hairs to combat the terrorist dictators in their homelands for all eternity, so the refugees don't have to leave.  The top 1% benefits through exploding military spending instead of real estate valuations.  There's more housing available to the homeless.


Either case has an exploding cost, but a 3rd idea came to mind.  What about just defeating the terrorist dictators so the refugees can stay in their own country & trillions of doll hairs don't have to be printed to house them or continue fighting forever?  The 3rd idea would truly be a breakthrough.


Living on Earth is a strange game where the only way to play is to win.  It's as if surrendering or not playing the game were never options.   Losing the game or manetaining a stalemate with the enemy only result in the player running out of money.




The journey began to start replacing the lion kingdom's 20 year old folding tables with something more permanent. Part of the process is getting rid of artifacts of simpler times. The tables were all lions needed for 20 years & any vision of a time when they wouldn't be enough was infinitely far in the future. They arrived at a time when all lions knew was how to write software, very little about electronicals or mechanics, & nothing about CAD.

The mane problem is the table isn't hard enough to support the 4k monitor stand. The days of balanced, articulated monitor stands are over. All articulated stands now are unbalanced & require a stiff table. No easy way to stiffen it appeared, after 6 months of thinking about the problem. Removing material from the monitor would not make it light enough to significantly improve it. The only real solution would be welding angle rods under it.

For 15 years, the narrow tables sat next to a wall while the confuser monitor was on a square table. Then, the narrow tables proved more effective for the confuser monitor. The next table to go will probably be a square table, since lions need a stiffer table to stand on for accessing the ceiling.



The internet makes lions feel a lot poorer than it did 20 years ago.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
