Blazing fast 9 miler today will be the last run of the week.  That's long enough to complete 1/2 of the Allo Palto run.  The rest would be walked.  The flexor digitorum longus seems to have maxed out at 1 run every 2 days & the metronome is offering a fixed improvement. 

 Lions have pondered the plan for next year's marathon.  It's going to be done with the metronome at 12-10 minute pace.  There's going to be a 2 week taper without any running.  There will be much walking near the end.

The mane goal in deferring it is going to be discovering new workarounds.  It's become clear the tendon is not going to recover but each workaround provides a fixed improvement to a constant baseline.

 Whenever pudgy Russguy shows up in the feed, lions are reminded that he became richer than god by plugging away for the next 10 years.

 
 
Rant Videos became his niche.  Making the same video 4 days a week, collecting $2k per video produces $400k/year on top of his day job salary & his macbook repair income.  With his $800k house paid off, it's all free cash flow.  Trying 1 thing after another led to the gootubes.  There were times when his cash cow channel was dead as he tried different content strategies.  Board repair videos failed.  Bike ride videos failed.  Right to repair videos failed.  Cat videos failed.  What hit paydirt were rants about tech oligopolies. 

That wouldn't have worked, 20 years ago.  It seems to be all about timing.  Goog was everyone's favorite company in 2006.  There was a love affair with FAANG all the way through 2015.  Now, the FAANG is producing less value & feeding them is getting expensive.

   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 ...
