Of all the animals losing their mental faculties by age 80, musicians seem to last longer.  Lions don't know if playing from memory or just learning pieces does it.  Learning a piece still results in memorization even though you're not testing your memory.  

Lions haven't found any more show stopping pieces worth memorizing. Maybe the tempest sonata could be a good one.  No-one has been able to capture the right sound.  There are some previously memorized pieces it would be nice to rerecord, Schumann Noveletten.  There are pieces lions could never play better than others, Chopin Ballade #4.

Everyone has their own ideal repertoire.  Biegel played the same core pieces his whole life.

Loss of mental faculties is strange.  They switch on & they switch off. The on time gets ever shorter & the off time longer.  It's not a constant equilibrium.

Lions realized the old man had no memory of selling all their shares of SYK & UTX in Oct of 2008.  The old man must have done it during an off time & during on time assumed the lion kingdom did it or never looked at the account, hence why it stayed all cash for 10 years as those stonks went on to grow 700%.  Loss of mental faculties is a dangerous situation indeed.

8.8mph is 6:48 per mile.  The cordoned off section of mane st is only 222 meters before the sign.  Lions hit 6:48 per mile all the time in 222 meters.  As long as a lion hits the mane st sign at precisely 8.8mph, the instant the lightning strikes the Kolln building, everything will be fine.


Time traveling lion could take out all the money in cash before going back in time.  It would not be easy to run that fast with all that money.  The notes would be dated in the future & probably worthless until after repeating all 30 years.  He could avoid paying taxes.

The only way to take the money back in time is to convert it into a precious metal which didn't appreciate in the last 30 years, take enough precious metal to invest in a known stonk market investment or lottery & recover the wealth.


Repeating the good parts of the past & making the wrongs right is the key.  The past wasn't as great as lions might think.  Young lion spent more time kicked out of home than not, lost productivity abounded, & young lion behaved as if he wasn't going to live past 18.  Whether or not old man was more or less abusive than average is unknown.  He got to wear a cast after a failed punch & not many classmates were wearing casts at his age.  Nostalgia is more about getting more in terms of time than repeating the past.

Who knows if lions would have continued the tradition, but so much of christian culture is about the right people reproducing so the ruling class can stay in power, maybe young lion would have done a better job.

The trick is getting multiple camera angles.  1 in front, 1 pointing south, 1 pointing north, a tracking shot from a stationary camera, a fixed shot from a stationary camera.  A total of 4 takes.  Stationary tracking probably won't work.  There could be a way to limit the maximum speed of manual panning in the field.  It would entail a whole new interface through the jetson.  Getting the speed right & getting enough range probably won't happen.  More likely, panning at the minimum speed would happen.  There could be trial runs on another street.

A lot of guys have succeeded in making rudimentary time machine special effects in Blender.











Some speed tests showed the full jetson tracking system could hit 6:50 when set to 6:30, without a nose cone & with a single battery.  It's maximum speed was around 6:30 depending on wind & terrain.  Quite a bit faster than the raspberry pi was, because of improved balance & suspension.

The best 3rd person shot is a static shot pointing downrange.  Manually panning at the lowest speed works by luck.  There could be a hack where it does a fixed speed for a fixed time but this would be harder to add the effect to.  The panning does show more lion before the effect would appear.

Timelapse mode could be replaced by a motion control mode.  Fully deflect the stick to play the preprogrammed motion in the direction of the stick.  Power cycle it to go back into manual mode & reset the motion control.
