Finally hit the 26.5 mark without cramping, for the 1st time in a while.  Marathon day is going to top out in the mid 4 hours.  It's going to take a downhill course to attempt 4 hours.  1 clif block piece every mile seems to do the trick.  Went through 12.  Skipped the 1st 2 water stops.  Temperature started in the mid 70's & finished in the mid 60's.  Walking every other day & eccentric stride break through the barrier.

 

Power usage was really high on that one.  306mAh/mile for the 1st 15.6 miles. 360mAh/mile for the last  11.4 miles

Gootubers got busted.  Good idea: vote liberal.  Bad idea: actually pay the taxes you vote for.  Maybe they just plowed everything into their next build videos.  Someone else leaked their address.  That's so common for high profile gootubers, it's not a reason for them to move out as much as the taxes.

A store & aerial footage of a road gave their address to lions.  It's such a large piece of cleared forest, it's hard to miss.

A high profile tuber like that, making a lot of videos outside, is going to get discovered.  What anyone can do with the address is a mystery, since it's too remote for anyone to go there.

Since buying that place for $50k, their neighbors are now selling for $1/2 mil.  Anything less remote in Nova Scotia is over $1M.  Imagine burning $1/2 mil to live somewhere so remote.  They wouldn't have a place to go after selling it though.

Looks like a lot of digital nomads are getting out of there because of RTO mandates.

Shocking that any dialup service still existed & someone was using it.  40 years ago, investigative reporters would have shown us who they were, but now we'll have to imagine.   Even the old man converted to DSL in the last 15 years.

 The copilot key is definitely another sign of a product being force fed against everyone's will.  At least it's not as bad as the early 2000's multimedia keys, when multimedia PC's were the big thing.  We never got a bitcoin key though.

    It was time to take on the lion kingdom's 1st 1 star movie. It honestly wasn't as bad as the Dictator, Bedazzled, Monty Python.  Most of the hate was from comparing it to the classic.  Visuals were good for animals who are into castles.  Wonder Heroine as the villain was a good twist.  It was bat shit boring.  Tedious jobs like dialog writing are all automated now & that's definitely not as bad as other movies.  Automated 3D model generation has made modern visuals very lavish.  If only that level of detail could be done in realtime for VR goggles.    Zegler was back from her previous engagement in district 12.   The mane redeeming factor for lions was evil Wonder Heroine.     & finally the Joan of Arc scene everyone hated.    & the ending just fizzled.  It seems they're trying to depart from the physicality of past heroine warriors & make them more like housewives.  It's h...

 Finally tracked down the Sun bootloader font from many decades ago & put it in Cinelerra as gallant12x22.  Put Sun Gallant Demi into the goog to get useful results. https://github.com/dim13/gallant/tree/master/ttf   It's a fixed point font in an archaic format.  Some guy converted it into a TTF with a lot of antialiasing.  He has a PNG image showing no antialiasing.  It has to be set to size 22 & requires a threshold to get rid of the antialiasing.  Freetype might be shifting it 1/2 pixel vertically. It had a kind of curiosity value, but lions have had no need for any fixed point fonts besides the 24pt Sony of CAEDM fame. Another hit said it was 1 of the fonts available in kernel framebuffer mode.  Lions haven't used kernel framebuffer mode in decades.  It could possibly replace 24pt Sony if lions wrote a fixed point converter. As for the other Sun lore, there's some potato cam footage of the Sun flight simulator, Aviator.  You ...

  The lunar eclipse situation. Diced tomato spagetti 2.  Plain noodles shining through the diced tomatos, meatballs, oregano, pepper, & cheese still has what it takes.  It's better than watered down sauces with tiny bits of meat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once again pondered if the S & P is another Nikkei 225. The nikkei is back where it last collapsed, 40 years ago, with a similar rate of increase in the last 25% but slower in the preceding years.  Maybe the index fund play has worn out or maybe it hasn't. Both the S&P & the Nikkei doubled in the last 5 years.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
