Sanity Check

Good point. Some plastics degrade under UV light or thermal heat. Others like polycarbonate are resistant. I'll have to check what type of plastic sheeting I planned to use to see how UV resistant it is. Planned to cover the plastic liner with sand and pebbles. I think fish prefer a certain type of pebble to lay their eggs in. Last I checked tilapia eat mosquito larvae and algae(if I remember correctly). There are fish farm released tilapia swimming in a river nearby which I thought I might collect. From experience I know tilapia also eat bread and kitchen scraps. Its just the filter that is an issue. I would like to build some type of scaffolding to mount a solar panel to power it. In a way that I feel good about. Which isn't so easy atm.

Best fun facts on neural networks: (Check the chronology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network#History History See also: Biological neural network § History, and History of artificial neural networks The theoretical base for contemporary neural networks was independently proposed by Alexander Bain in 1873[6] and William James in 1890.[7] Both posited that human thought emerged from interactions among large numbers of neurons inside the brain. In 1949, Donald Hebb described Hebbian learning, the idea that neural networks can change and learn over time by strengthening a synapse every time a signal travels along it.[8] Artificial neural networks were originally used to model biological neural networks starting in the 1930s under the approach of connectionism. However, starting with the invention of the perceptron, a simple artificial neural network, by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943,[9] followed by the implementation of one in hardware by Frank Rosenblatt in 1957,[3] artificial neural networks became increasingly used for machine learning applications instead, and increasingly different from their biological counterparts.

Its a science experiment. Dug a big hole. Wondered if said hole was filled with leaves and weeds and covered with a thin layer of dirt. If it would be possible to grow corn that way. More than 30 x 50 gallon barrels of weeds and leaves later the hole was relatively filled. Added a layer of dirt maybe 5 inches deep on the top to plant corn in. It worked. But over time composting weeds and leaves lost significant mass leading to it being a hole once again. Long term plans. Eventually I might remove all the dirt and debris. Layer plastic sheeting. Make a fish pond. Still need to work out filtration details. Water needs to be clean for a fish pond with edible fish. Cats like lying on the rocks. They lie on things as if they were centerfold models posing on ferraris. They can watch fish (and have bonus meals). I have many projects like this, its on the backburner for now.

Good to see people sharpening their skills.

Critique his technique.

One interesting thing I randomly stumbled across was. Beelzebub. Started out as Baal ze bub. Its something like... another name for Baal. The bohemian rhapsody song by queen has a beelzebub reference in it. Wondered for a long time, "what is a beelzebub anyways"? Mind blowing to me, for whatever reason.

Its an attempt to create a conditional statement. Preventing sorcery from executing if it would result in negative karma. "Joe Bob Cooter is casting a curse on Willy Wonka." "But if Joe Bob Cooter will receive significant negative karma for casting said curse, let the curse fail, without executing." ...

Imagine there are an infinite number of cosmic frequencies being broadcast throughout the universe. Your heart and mind can receive these signals, attracting that energy into their life. Out of the millions of frequencies that are available. Some decide to tune into dark and negative frequencies of demons who hate humans and wish to destroy them. They make false promises and dangle carrots in front of people to lead them along catastrophically self destructive paths. I think it is like that. For those who read the bible, there is a list of things that factor into discussions like this. For the same reasons many celebrities claim they're "manifesting" events. (As if they were Jesus turning water into wine.) Without being able to connect the similarity.

Merchant: "Would you like to buy a charm to protect you from evil." Subotai: "I am evil." (I thought there would be more responses like this...)

I've seen that before, that poor guy. He did more to educate the public on a difference between castings and forgings of swords than anyone. At least I think it was a metal casting that broke so easily. Could also have been inferior metals.

Not yet.

10 foot x 10 foot corn growing patch. In may 2025 this was filled with 50+ stalks of corn. Last month, it was full of weeds tall enough for the rocks surrounding it to not be easily visible. Restoring to plant more corn. Pulled most of the weeds in the middle & covered with piles of leaves to prevent more weeds from growing. To the right are sweet potato vines I'll allow to continue growing to see if the corn and sweet potato can co exist.

He's a multi millionaire youtuber, he can afford $50k purse. Organizing the logistics of a completely new sport take time.

Postponed. Gives everyone more time to practice.

There was a lightsaber dueling tournament last year. $50,000 prize for 1st place. $20,000 2nd. $10,000 for 3rd. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C58Vr21LROx/ Maybe its time to put that steel sword down. And pick up a plastic one.

A good thing about plastic swords. Practice correct posture. Practice sequences and technique. No chance of accidental injury.

Martial arts are not what I'm best at. Seeing this, however. Makes me feel like getting a plastic or rubber practice sword and refining technique from zero.

Just say his name. Rasputin.
