Dreamed about running east on Niles canyon at night.  It was much more difficult than real life, with rock segments & 12 miles instead of 6.  Had the truck for lighting & wondered how to get it up the rocks. 

That might have reflected a passage on the railroad tracks.  The road is slightly more accessible by lion paw, since the white bridge was demolished.  There are still trouble spots in the middle section which will never be fixed.

Young lion dreamed of traversing the canyon in a light sport aircraft using anti gravity pods, basically something vastly cheaper than anything at the time.  Lions knew they had to reduce the cost but not the technology to get there.  It could be done in an electric light sport now.  The mane problem is the sea breeze.

Feels like the "sell in May stay away" time of year.  It might be the time of year animals consistently sell to pay taxes.

Narrowed down the latest bug to repeatedly playing back while removing a file from the project in the resource window.  Mercifully just an infinite loop instead of a deadlock.

It seems Ross Guy was worth nearly $1 mil last year at age 33 & drained most of his savings to pay for his house.  Lions only heard of the perils of draining all of one's savings to buy a house from confirmed perma bear doomer Bordenaro.  It goes against the rule that thou shalt diversify.  Ross Guy made a fortune from repairing macbooks, gootube videos, & FUTO, either way.

 

He probably has the cash flow to drain his savings without feeling it, but lions believe he had to be extremely unhappy to make such a purchase.  Any normal animal could just buy any other house & retire on that amount.  A house like that would explain the girlfriend.  That's the financial domane of arabic hotties.

Home equity & income since last year definitely put him well over $1 mil by now. He claims to be on track to retire by age 48. It seems most of the big social media stars who own Teslas, big houses, & look rich really are worth well over $1 mil. Financial success tends to translate to being very public & successful in every other thing they do, like social media.

As enviable as his wealth is, he's 7.5 miles from the nearest Targ & 18 miles from the nearest Wally.  More expensive food is 5 miles away.  It's hardly the walkable paradise lions would consider worth $800k.

Retro Guy's house popped $800k in the last year, from his purchase price of $400k 10 years ago.  It's 1 mile from Targ & Lowe's, 3 miles from Wally.  Ross Guy could have lived in a walkable paradise in Calif* for the same amount of money that he burned to live in the middle of nowhere Texas.  It's insane. That's why lions think he was extremely unhappy or in a midlife crisis.

Lions would truly hate being in a marriage & owning a house with the amount of equity it now requires.  Houses are now 10% higher in a time of 7% interest than they were in a time of 3% interest. 1 misperceived gesture or phrase & massive amounts of net worth would be gone.

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
