Renegade: A ROO!
Me: I rest my case.

Haricots blancs cuits au four avec pain de campagne au mélasse. Here in New England that is a favorite traditional Sunday meal but we call it Boston baked beans with brown bread. Or how about haricots blancs et saucisses (beanie-wienies).

And any videos of people petting kangaroos or lions or bears and leading them around on leashes in grocery stores are AI as well. And I know YOU do not wear a leash!

When data is stored on a CD-ROM, the entire file system is put into one audio track. You can play this track with a CD player. It sounds like random noise.

Compact Discs weren't exactly designed for generalized data storage. The main part of a CD's storage consists of audio tracks. But an audio track is made of bits (conveniently, 16 bit samples) so arbitrary bits can be put in there.

Here's how to tell a furry from an animation fan: Ask them about Disney's Robin Hood (1973). If they say it's the worst movie Disney made in the entire 20th century, they're an animation fan. If they say it's the best movie Disney ever made in the entire 20th century, they're a furry.

Eight thousand years of refinements. The oldest flutes archeologists have found are eight thousand years old and are animal bones with holes in them. Ancient Greece had the aulos which had a double reed like the oboe. Little refinements come maybe ten years apart but they sure add up.

In Elizabethan England you had Shakespeare, music by William Byrd and John Dowland, the Scientific Revolution, Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Francis Drake, exploration of the New World -- and London was so dangerous you had to carry a sword all the time.

Currently (January 18 2025, two days before inauguration) the price of gasoline is down to $2.959 / gallon. Trump will say it's because of him. Later when prices go up, as they always do, Trump will say it's Biden's fault.

3kWHrs/day is meaningful because it tells you how much the electricity will cost. Watts alone is not helpful if you do not know the duty cycle. Your refrigerator spends some time running and some time idle.
