Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.

Back in the days that home solar systems still mostly used lead-acid batteries - which in some cases of degradation could be repaired, at least partially, if you had some good strong and reasonably pure sulfuric acid - I viewed a YouTube video on how to make it. (From epsom salts by electrolysis using a flowerpot and some carbon rods from old large dry cells).

For months afterward YouTube "suggested" I'd be interested in videos from a bunch of Islamic religious leaders . (This while people were wondering how Islamic Terrorists were using the Internet to recruit among high-school out-group nerds.)

Software - AI and otherwise - often creates unintended consequences. B-)

Journal Journal: Pope Leo XIV's first challenge: Justice

https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pillarcatholic.com%2Fp%2Fwhats-going-on-in-cardinal-prevosts

Pope Leo XIV has a unique chance to stand with victims, and flip the script by flying to Peru soon to testify against Fr. Eleuterio Vasquez Gonzales

Doing so will let him purge the sodomites. Doing so will send a message to all, that Cardinals will no longer be given the red hat to escape justice.

I trust Weather Underground instead- it's private citizens, not government propaganda, and it's far more accurate.

Post-COVID, I don't trust governments or corporations to do science. I saw too much statistical abuse, p-hacking, politics, and outright lying about the scientific method to trust federal funding OR corporate funding of science.

Science is best done by private citizens funding their own experiments with outside jobs, not academic peer-review cancel culture bubbles.

We had a lab known to be unsafe. A lab known to be performing gain of function on the specific type of virus that emerged in public. We have a lab in close proximity to the market where the outbreak was traced back to.

We also had rumors that low-paid lab techs supplemented their income by selling test animals they'd been ordered to destroy to the nearby wet market.

Journal Journal: Social Media Reach Research

Social Media Audiences Experiment
$1.00 USD
As many of you know, I have not had steady work for a while. Needless to say, with my wife's rotator cuff surgery, open heart surgery, and upcoming cataract surgery; finding post intel employment has been hard.

I am wondering if I can leverage social media to any significant amount. Thus an experiment is in order. Do not click on the below link unless you can afford a $1 donation.

There's also the "Detox" exercise of leaving your phone at home. and only taking it with you when it's absolutely necessary for example to work if you have to use a third factor authentication application to get into your computer)

Just switch on "airplane mode". No incoming calls, message notifications, or app push crud. (If you've got any apps, other than alarm/calendar notices for your schedule reminders which YOU set up, that poke brain-derailng messages at you, disable (or delete) them.)

Then get into the habit of not going to it for anything non-essential while in this mode.

Now you can use it for a key, or wallet, or whatever, if you must, without it constantly killing your attention span with interruptions. Yet you can always turn it back on to make a call, or in the timeslot you reserved for handling this trivia.

No incoming calls, though. (What a relief: No phone spammers!)
