Lions don't believe any more population growth on Earth is possible.  The only way to sustain all the entitlement programs is higher productivity from a smaller population. The problem is most of the births aren't very high achievers.

Lions were never a good candidate for reproduction because of deformations caused by genetics & anxiety attacks.  Neither would any sperm bank accept their sperm.  Lions were excused from that standpoint, if not the fact that only 50% of men ever had relationships & the competition was extremely high net worth, polyamorous compared to somewhere like Wisconsin.

Ski lift memories:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFNOH6I4UmM


 

The chairs were all nailed into the rope by a horizontal wedge, 40 years ago. They ran as fast as possible & the empty chairs swung out as they rounded the wheel. The stations were dead simple exposed wheels with a motor. 

 

Getting on was quite the swing ride & the poor fool sitting in the middle didn't have anything to grab onto. It was quite cumbersome with your poles & skis to get into position.

If you didn't get off with exquisite timing right when the chair reached the ramp, you were going for a ride. Clumsy, 5 ft tall young lion stopped many chair lifts, but at least the ticket was only $30. By our last ski trip in 1988, decoupling lifts started to appear & they were luxurious.

Seem to recall the last one being in fall 1988.  We had dinner on the drive up, in a place with a fascinating arcade cabinet, while it rained.  It was showing intro animation for what seemed to be a street fighter variant in a castle.  They were moving so many pixels, young lion pondered if they evolved beyond the C64 programming model.

Lions never enjoyed skiing.  The cold, the full body suit, the boots, driving in the snow, the cost, the moguls were all difficult.  Eating & pissing in that full body suit were difficult.  The weather was usually snowing & that was brutal to ski in.

 It since became a very expensive sport, even more expensive than destination races.

 War, baby.  That was quite a strut for a political dignitary, but he's a TV host.  They definitely have coaching on how to walk on camera.  They also work out.

In real life, he was in the army.  The army reminds most animals of Bill Murray, always bringing up the rear.  No-one goes to the army marathon.

    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...

   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...

 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 ...
