Keenly following the adventures of the ACA subsidy cliff.  It's not being adjusted for inflation.  So prices rise 6-10% every year while incomes decline, allowing the federal poverty level to stay constant.  The government made health insurance super expensive by subsidizing it for just the very bottom incomes, as it normally does.

 So Dubya actually got daylight savings time expanded by a few weeks to deal with the then sky high $2 gas. Trump said he made it permanent & didn't do anything.

Another death in a long distance.   As usual, the AI generated text is as useful as mud.  Her results were struck from the web app, probably because it was a DNF.  There is a phone tracker showing her going out like mad & the wheels falling off at mile 15.

 


Could have been a rolled ankle.  We'll never know. 

Makes a lion wonder what was going through her mind for the next 8 miles.  The photos will be most valuable.  As usual, the event happened early in the race.  Some of them keel over by mile 3.  Something was amiss, upstairs.

 The strav showed only 1 20 mile distance on 9/20.  The lack of long distance efforts was the mane red flag.  All her efforts were below 10 miles & the same intensity.  Most animals gain lots of experience at the 20 mile & above during a marathon cycle.

Another chateau tuber.  https://www.youtube.com/@TheBeauChateau/videos 

 Noted 3 greatrooms & a big entrance.  Normally they don't have any big rooms & are really cramped.  The rest is ransacked.

 

Remember 4 years ago when thumbnails had any correlation with reality?

The pianist was a hard movie to watch, over 3 days.  The lion kingdom isn't sure if it's more or less depressing than Schindler's List.  Many scenes in the movie were staged exactly like photos in kiwipedia.  WWII movies are generally easy to make, since there's an abundance of real, dire material. The period from 1990-2010 saw a shift from the rhetorical speeches of John Wayne, George C Scott, Charlton Heston to intimate views of desperate suffering & hunger.  Lions aren't sure whether movies lightened back up for millennials or if they stopped being made to keep millennials happy. It's not possible to know what's going on without realizing it's a true story & having prior knowledge of the fall of Warsaw, the ghetto, the uprising, the planned destruction, & the Warsaw robinsons.  Thus, it requires already knowing the ending. The lion kingdom was surprised he was outed by an attainable woman while the trophy wife helped him survive.  Most of ...

   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...
