Lion ponderings

  Not looking good for anyone trying to replace the goo tubes. Just tiny numbers of views despite being around for a long time. The lion kingdom was surprised that internet celebrity Jeri Ellsworth worked for Astra briefly from 2017-2018. Lions don't normally show 5 month stints like that because it means you were a bad match & no-one cares if it was a contract. She disappeared from the internet like most of generation X, after hitting 40. 3 of 5 fed to the mane. The lion kingdom used to bring back a lot more food because they used to have volume discounts. It was whatever volume discount was below $20. The next several dinners would be char siu bao. Those days are over, but the government is still solvent. The lion kingdom bought just enough for a meal when commuting to the city & the number from the old days was forgotten.

 The lion kingdom was surprised that the Manly Scott doesn't live in the Oakland hills but a sprawling mansion in Fairfax.  Normally people move east as they get older & he formerly rented in Alameda until his 40's.  He bought it for $1.8 million in 2019 & now it's $2.6 million.  It's such a large house, it's easy to find.  You'd think if he wanted to live in Marin county & had such wealth, he would have moved to Lucas Valley as a Star Wars fan. Even though George Lucas insisted the naming had no relation to his decision to live there, the lion kingdom believes it did.  The ambiance of the Lucas valley canyon is very reminiscent of the Naboo lake country. Lions couldn't imagine a life of making dumbed down vijeos, combining stock footage, telling people what they want to hear, just for money from the gootube audience, but maybe it's easier when they're making enough to afford a $2 million house.  Most of the money from rocket science is n

 Millennials were the 1st generation to be public enough online to see who they picked in their marriages.  Generation X had the same tools, but they were hard enough to use to keep them manely off the grid.  The preferences of millennials rigidly followed the same stereotypes generation X grew up with.  Women remotely fit all went for doctors, lawyers, & high profile business men.  The morbidly obese went for programmers, truck drivers, & workers.  Remotely fit women stopped working by age 35.  Morbidly obese continued working for their entire lives.  There weren't any exceptions.   Bald eagles work as pairs.  1 hunts & gathers food.  The other warms the eggs.  They don't live together.  The male drops off a fish twice a day & leaves.  You'd think it was learned behavior or a government stimulus package.

  It's a done deal.  The annexation of Crimea famously led to an end of RD-180 imports & funding of the raptor engine, which was intended to stop the western march.  Now we see the result of those sanctions, the annexation of Ukraine.  Russia is so big, sanctions don't really affect it.  There's not much a Bide can do.  There wasn't much Trump could do either.  Are they going to send troops in & convert Ukraine into a war zone?  The easiest thing to do is let Russia move in peacefully.

  Gozer was a hottie trophy wife youtube.com/watch?v=7QdDayLYazM Take your mane back to simpler times & ear tingling harmonies.

  The answer is yes, vimeo has shut down for all intents & purposes.  They originally had a weekly limit of 1GB for uploads & unlimited total storage.  Those were reduced at some point to unusable amounts for non paying customers.  Then, there was only the gootube. The only reason Encanto arrived on the hard drive was the heroine.  Obviously a capture of an analog signal, in order to circumvent DRM.   The trend has been for every job to start out on-site because no-one knows what's really going to require being on site. Over time, as discoveries are made, they become remote. That's probably how lions are going to live out their lives. Getting jobs will always require being near the location, even though they'll be doable remotely in the long term.

 Dreamed about getting chased by outlaws into Martin Sheen's mansion.  Bought a gun while being chased through a mall, which isn't possible in Calif*.  Shot some of them.  Then they gassed the entire valley. Finished Goin' South, which ends with a few more under exposed facial expressions & out of focus shots of Durango Mexico.   There's a cautionary tale about what happens to people in the middle of nowhere who have a lot of money.  Outlaws tend to show up. At least 1 of the outlaws is a hottie.  Veronica Cartwright was 29 in the movie so no, lions are no longer attracted to anyone their own age. There's sort of a reprive of Jack's role in  One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest where he casually escapes a prison.  In this case, he casually escapes a collapsed mine.  The gold mine conveniently collapses right after they collect enough gold to retire.   It seemed obvious that they should have repaired the mine & continued collecting gold, but some kind of l

  The insurrection begins The lion kingdom hatched a plan to disassemble parts of the day job desk & bring them home to adapt into a smaller desk. Standing desks are really just 2 legs with an adjustable spacer. They can attach to any horizontal surface by fabricating an adapter. The adapter would have blind nuts farstening onto the legs & bolts farstening into the desk's existing holes. It would involve throwing away the desk's previous legs, which were quite expensive & brand new. It would make 2 tables on the chopping block. Only in some wild imagination could the tables be repurposed into some kind of storage solution. 1 table could provide a 2nd level in the closet. The other table could support some storage containers.

  Typical want ad that lions get.  No telecommuting.  No benefits.  Nowhere close to the price of housing.  Relocation required.  For more remote jobs to exist doesn't mean that's where the demand is.  Seem to recall the same req 10 years ago, but it didn't say on-site.  Now they have to tell people to get their butts in that traffic jam.  It could be Intel or Nike. Hello again 34,000. Been away but now we're back. A trophy wife on the train was wearing this. There's rarely any evidence of the space program at all in the city & people know less about the space program than they did 40 years ago. The lion kingdom wouldn't know what to do with it. What a lion would do, but the Antiope replica is still the ultimate statue. Finally a good one

  Slowly working through Goin' South.  Jack Nicholson's facial expressions are obscured by a beard & costume.  Many shots are out of focus & poorly lit.  The late 70's were when he peaked.  Though billed as a marriage horror story, it's on autopilot after 50 minutes.  The heroine doesn't enslave him & doesn't become impossible to live with as implied early on, but they fall in love & it becomes his mission to save her from the evil railroad contractor by striking gold.  For the 1st 50 minutes, the big question is if she's going to dump him & have him end up back on the gallows.   The lion kingdom was reminded of a lot of single women who just want a man to remodel their real estate investments for free, then get rid of without sharing any equity.  There are some scenes with Christopher Lllloyd before he invented a time machine. The Jack Nicholson movie made lions dream mom went crazy after 50 years of marriage.  It was sad.

 The lion kingdom was actually making something from adsense, up until it was disabled.  The last payment was some $20 back in 2020.  No records are kept from before then.  A much younger lion set it up to automatically transfer to a checking account.  The lion kingdom is reluctant to chase after adsense if the corporation is so hamstrung by ethics instead of profits.  Historically, they'll eventually have to get rid of this ethics minded CEO & make as much money as they can by enabling everyone. The lion kingdom made about as much from heroically timed trades & lucky stonk picks last year as interest on savings accounts used to be, 30 years ago.  Then, 1/4 of it went back to the gubment.  It definitely didn't keep up with inflation. You're not missing out unless you're willing to go 100% into a meme stonk.

 So Microsoft bought out Blizzard for $70 billion.  The anorexic hottie on the lion commute 7 years ago is now a multi millionaire & a retiree before age 30.  It was a common theme when commuting.  Someone you saw everyday would be part of a major buyout offer & disappear.  The hottie next door's boyfriend's startup got bought out by Airbnb & she retired.  Secretaries came to town dreaming of marrying billionaires, eventually married venture capitalists & disappeared.  The lion kingdom never could get into an A corporation with serious buyout prospects.  The lion kingdom's largest stonk award was 50,000 shares at $0.02 each. So 1 week after the jawboning & the automatic buy program that was written before the jawboning, the stonk market finally sold off.  It can't be.  Oil continued its inexplicable rise as the lion kingdom sold its last positions.  They might be expecting an oil boom during the summer driving season.  Lions were more bullish about o

 So the glory days of the eevblog lab went from Nov 2018 to Oct 2020.  It seemed shorter, but it was actually 2 years.  He hardly ever showed it on camera & never showed the view out the windows, despite it being a really schmick space next to a lake.  At least that's the impression his walking tours of norwest business park gave.  Interestingly, the LED lights he installed gave it a yellow backroom lighting. He rented the underground lab to tenants in 2019, but was already planning on moving back in by Feb 2020.  One of his videos featured a plan to make enough from tentants to pay the rent on the upstairs place, but by Feb 2020, that obviously wasn't working out. The brief escapade reminds lions of times they had something glorius but couldn't afford to keep it & decades later it only reoccurs as manely forgotten fragments of memories.  

  It definitely depends on the state more than the age. The hypochondriac hottie is definitely a classic. While the Texas wonder makes you wonder how rich generation Z is to own their own RVs. Survived Ghostbusters 4. It was visually appealing, but didn't do much else besides replay Ghostbusters 1. The lion kingdom would give it the best of all 3 sequels, but only because it replayed #1. Interestingly, #3 was so bad, it was erased from the movie's timeline. #3 was so bad, it was erased from the hard drive. Even Robocop 2 stayed on the hard drive & that was bad. The high point is the generation Z heroine. Paul Rudd gave his best Dennis Miller comic relief impersonation, but he's no Dennis Miller. He's Ant Man. Millennials are all old geezers now. It's bad when the clueless adults are millennials. Gozer strikes the same poses she did in #1. This was an uncredited cast member. It could have easily been a kids movie if it wasn't for the last minute r
