The 'tube is now paying $6000 per million views, quite an uptick from the $4000 of years ago.  Undoubtedly it's from tightening the qualifications to get monetized.  More higher paying advertisers go to fewer vijeos.

Unpopular opinion of the day: could global warming make the midwest the Calif* of the future?  Lions doubt global warming will be that extreme.  Based on the change in Calif* between today & 40 years ago, midwest winter could become more like Utah winter.  It won't be snow free but the days of double digit negative temperatures & lake effect snow drifts are probably over.  The snow will melt more quickly.  It might become an option for animals who can stand Utah in winter.

So basically, if a lion tail gets injured, they cut off the tail near the injury & hope the lion doesn't scratch the rest of the tail off.  This lion had the injury below most of her tail.

Decided to watch a live NYE stream for the 1st time.  It seems all the news channels were streaming the same source, overlaying ads & news.  Times Square NYC showed an unmonetized stream with no overlays.  Most animals seemed to be watching ABC news.  It's never been the same without Casey Kasem.  If they got Casey Neistat, it would revive the magic.

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
