Good news for those of us dreaming of synthesizing choc in space.

 Synthesizing choc in space many never be possible because cocoa requires trees, but apparently synthetic choc exists. It seems though the palm oil & shea oil used in choc substitute still require trees. Either the smell of wood or the structure of wood is coming from a key ingredient in choc. 

 

The smell of wood is from pure Carbon benzene compounds rather than any particular element. Palm oil is the dominant form of vegetable oil in the world & it's quite difficult to produce in space.

 Another story had a choc crash. The Mane can get on top of that.

50 year old George Lucas & his powerbook duo.  Action Retro made a video about it, but the memory of Lucas's involvement is lost to history. That was a really nice monitor for its time. No ergonomic arm & standing desk in those days. Probably very very limited to no internet access from that room. When admiring the past stuff you could never dream of, never forget how much better you've got it now.

He must have spent long hours in his 50's, typing scripts on that Duo while staring at the Nicasio hills.

Imagine being that wealthy & powerful, commanding so many people at 50. He seemed so old to 23 year old lion. It was an impossibly distant age when lions were the age of gootubers.

 Last animal to discover the true diameter is now 10cm below the printed diameter, hence why the price only doubled in the last 10 years while the currency lost a lot more value.

    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 ...

 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 ...
