Major KNBR shakeup ends nightly sports call-in show after 51 years

 

 Maybe they'll go back to Gunsmoke reruns.  Lions remember a miserable day when the evening lineup switched from radio show reruns & music to sports talk shows in the early 80's, but no evening talk shows dating back to 1972.  The mane antenna was in Redwood city, so of course, 1 of the 2 stations which didn't require amplification.

 Lions also remember being bored.  Those were the days.

 KNBR last made the news in 2019 when they took over KFOG.  Now KNBR is the one getting shut down.

Welcome to New Yoak

Hotel prices suddenly jumped on the monday after the lottery, so it was time.  Lions are now twice the age of most of the other athletes, so that puts into perspective how much money generation Z has.  They're not rich old guys yet they still spend like no tomorrow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Lions were intrigued by the use of a more wheel-like yoke yet the wheel no longer turning more than 180deg.  Cars with the original yoke turn more than 180 deg.

Then to get around the challenges of stainless steel fabrication, it has no door handles.  It's going to crush a lot of fingernails.

It has no motor for the tailgate, yet has a motorized frunk.

No mention of the headlight.

Back seats fold up instead of down. 

Gear shift on the roof now.  Can't wait for the gear shift in the lumbar.

Then there's the usual bling.  Lions suspect the bling is very cheap, yet allows them to artificially increase the price.  There's nothing novel in the act of hauling things in a truck.  The novelty is all features which could just have easily gone in a car.

Lions can't afford an F-150 or Rivian that he compares it to.

Despite all the fanboys on the internets, the neighbors all buy the cheapest teslas they can.  It feels like they just put in the least effort required to impress others but don't give 3 shits of a fuck about Tesla in real life.  Lions still doubt they're trying to save on gas, since it's customary to replace a car every 3 years.

As for whether all the fanboys really do as they say, well everyone who said they supported Elon's removal of the blocking feature still has the lion kingdom blocked.

As a lion who keeps the same car until it dies, a bottom end Tesla might make sense for a return to super commuting.

Interesting collection of analog circuits for synthesizing natural sounds with high fidelity.  Lions actually weren't aware that accurately synthesizing natural sounds with analog circuits was something animals did.  They synthesized gross approximations of pianos, strings, & drums 50 years ago with analog circuits.  Even after the digital age, synthesizers stayed pretty bad & focused on synthetic sounds.

Lions never made a synthetic instrument & used it in music.  They tweeked the default string sounds on a K3 & made basic square waves on the SID.  There's an entire art form in creating synthetic instruments & replicating natural sounds.  It's surprising how much pure synthesis of the 80's has given way to just playing samples. 

Creating synthetic instruments & original music are completely separate tasks from what lions have done. It seems they would have to be done simultaneously with the usual practice routine, rather than replacing it. 

Creating synthetic ASMR sounds continues to be a vision.

   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 ...
