I don't trust new accounts who follow thousands but never say a word of their own. If that's you, don't follow please cuz you'll be blocked.
Thanks Gayle. The feeling up here is becoming if Ukraine can resist so can we and most of the terrain is inhospitable in all seasons for the unprepared.
BRAVO TO CANADA ‼️✨💫

Unfortunately, when you turn off Smart Features, Google also turns off a whole bunch of other features that worked for over a decade without AI, including
* package tracking
* nudges
* sorting email by tabs
* smart reply

They want to force you to turn it on to get the conveniences you already had
By now, it should be clear that all popular software and services are using your data to train their own AI ambitions.
Including Bluesky.

It should not be a surprise that Google is reading your emails.

Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

russia is genociding Ukrainians again right now but again the world sleeps and looks for ways to sell Ukrainians to russia.
Every year on the last Saturday of November, Ukraine honors victims of the Holodomor.

The Holodomor refers to 3 artificial famines orchestrated by the Soviet regime in 1921–1923, 1932–1933, and 1946–1947.

Something that keeps happening @ various degrees, from banter to hostile is Science vs Science Infighting.

The reductionism of Physics & Chemistry "the simplest repeatable answer is always the truth"
Versus:
The complexity of Biology, Psychology, Social Psychology & Sociology.
"Add Truth to Truth".

How Trump's dirty deal w/Putin unfolded at a meeting in Kyiv:
- US army secretary Daniel Driscoll showed up late and laced his comments with profanities: “We need to get this shit done"
- One senior European official described the tone of the meeting as “nauseating”

So the Turning test has been passed.
When will whole political bodies, designed to manipulate nations via social media, tv images and video, email, be created and run by AI?
If you haven’t physically seen IRL and verified people as human and making autonomous decisions, are they even real anymore?
3/7 Since 1950, the Turing test was the gold standard.

Yet, when OpenAI’s GPT-4.5 decisively passed it in 2025, the news barely made a ripple.

When models crushed the bar exam or solved Ph.D.-level math, we didn’t arm the resistance. We just shrugged and raised the bar.

90% of our congress would not even be able to pronounce half of this...
Every 50 years, based on census, we should redraw state boundaries to “redistrict” for equal representation in the senate and electoral college. That would solve so much.

Just so. A university that surrenders to this belligerent, anti-intellectual nonsense has lost much of its claim to be a university at all.
Admin at UC have claimed various reasons why they aren’t fighting in court, but they simply are afraid to take on the Feds, believing antagonism will somehow make a terrible situation worse. Thing is, it can’t be much worse, and you can’t placate a bully.

After the last 10 mos. I freely admit that I've become more than a little paranoid but I'm glad to hear you haven't. Lately I've been experimenting with living w/o a cellphone in case Trump decides to invade Canada where 85% of us live w/i 45 mins of the border. Many have contingency plans.
I’m hesitant myself to follow someone who has few posts & follows thousands… I feel a need to find out how they think & in some cases a bio is missing… I agree but since it’s BlueSky & not Twitter I do feel better & not too paranoid about it- I figure they’re shy & wait then follow later💙💫

Thanks Mr Gus; I like learning how things work but I love learning why they work. Wish I'd had a science teacher who taught that way.

The hot water melts grease that thickened when it cooled in the trap. The mix clears light sludge and keeps new film from sticking.

Let it sit for 10 minutes, then run hot tap water for 30 seconds to rinse.

Why does salt work:
Salt crystals provide mechanical cleaning. They scrape thin layers of slime without harming the pipe.
As they dissolve, brine disrupts bacterial biofilm that clings to the inner wall.

The half-glass method
Reach for ordinary table salt, not vinegar, not baking soda. Then add heat. The combo scrubs, loosens fat, and freshens the trap.

Step-by-step in two minutes
Pour half a cup (about half a glass) of fine table salt straight into the drain.

No vinegar and no baking soda : pour half a glass and the drain cleans itself
That daily mess grows into sludge, then smells, then a clog. A tiny, regular ritual clears it before trouble starts. Why quick clogs happen Kitchen grease
