Random and important thoughts (ROTD's) mixed together.

I'm playing this game (Fallout) where the outcasts (that's their name) are super mean.
And the scientists are snotty.
"Stay away from me, mutt"| "Keep your hands to yourself" while demanding help.
""Emailed-receipts are fine"
Fucket, you wouldn't unnerstand. "Get out of my country" says the lady on TV.
But the game has nice people too. One guy sits there for the whole gargantuan game, asking for water. The tied-up people like it when you kill their captors and release them (No supply-offerings necessary, ma'am) And a lady keeps bringing me gifts next to my hovel in the metal-ghetto (I fixed her bomb)
I don't know the underlying message here....99.9% mean, with nice.And after napping through a hot afternoon, dreaming of game-puzzles, I looked outside to see leaves moving very slightly on the plants. "Someone must know why air can be so gentle at low speed, so destructive at high speed," I thought.
Not a philosophical discussion, not showing off at mathematics, just a plain reason.
No.
Air is a "gas" and it can be transparent just sitting there, but blow down houses when it really moves.
Why?
This subject brings up topics that are probably related but too annoying to learn about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao_-OjDQwfk&t=85s Apparently (before I completely forget) "pressure" and "Heat" (andthesunandthewaterandgradients)
yeahbutt
what makes the leaves move so gently or topples trees?
You can stop reading now; I'm note-taking.
Yeah, well, I tried. It must be "God"
You can talk around and around with computers, but the exact answer is not forthcoming.
At this point (right this second), I do not CARE about the weather and air pressure and the sun and water.
A guy needs a atmosphere-dictionary to get through to these people. The word "resistance" looks promising, if you can avoid all the math.
Speed and resistance must be related. I'm afraid to ask.
"vortices," whutever
A molecule or three of air are weak and hit up against a leaf and are turned away.
But many thousands of molecules travelling in gangs (armies?) hitting the poor leaf
would blow the leaf away and possibly even damage the tree. There.
Can you explain it like that?
Unfortunately they start bombasting about Bernoulli and airplanes. Air gets denser (more dense?) when pushed (doesn't it?) (gawd)
It's a news thing, a tiny blurb on google's front page, that makes me think they want to get you to dump your TV finally, and buy a new US MAGA TV. Or something. The original Link disappeared.
"Creatine," a product they're pushing in fitness stores. "Creatinine" is a sign you'll need dialysis soon (The kidney bell tolls for thee)
If it's a new product, why did they choose that particular name?
I wonder why they're bringing it up anyway. Fitness gurus would already know about it. Renal-failure victims too. The filters in a person's body get tested a lot, and you can find details on google, But if your Stool has fat and your pee is toxic, And your blood has OMG-chemicals THEN your diet kind of sucks or you're dying like some old car whose oil filter needs changing.
Ever wonder (just wonder) if the meds you take to cure something, cause problems somewhere else? Blood thinner. Acid indigestion meds. Blood pressure meds. Vitamins (with soy).
♪Nobody knows....the trouble I've seen♪
Note to self: Buy B12 with no soy. Vitamins piss off my stomach but maybe I can sneak some in.
It's sure got enough labels. I mean, "Fine, soy free" but I didn't need the ones Handpicked by God's children in southern France (the little chicken-huggers)
What have we learned? That no part of Paris is "seamy" and if it was, it's a secret. That there are no hucksters of Vitamins and cure-alls. The ones that were, settled out of court.
Disappointing but that's what I found (didn't find,) writing this. It affects me (sort of) because the vitamins I'm supposed to take, come in Gargantuan doses, or reputedly do nothing, or melt in sunlight, etc.
But you gotta skip down to the bottom-third. Alcohol is good for you! Ignore all naysayers.
More to the point, for me anyway, is how seemingly expensive USB cables are, especially if you have a particular requirement. A 480mbps cable is sooo last-decade, but it's thin and has the required teeny tiny (delicate) Connectors I need. "Frequently returned item," Amazon says. Well , my current cable is taped up with medical tape, so anything is an improvement.
This was no random senile rant, its a record (for me) of when I purchased this fine underrated (or brittle POS, IDK)
Clam, oyster, they taste the same to me, "Death on the Beach"-flavor. Vulnificus (the roman emperor, or star of a superhero movie?) Yeah but you could self righteously claim that Vegetables (in salad) can make you real sick, as well.
When I can afford lettuce, I buy romaine. IDK
Cooking shows push seafood, I don't know why. Maybe it's lots less popular now. Plus they cook the stuff. (whatever. Ew)
"Iceberg vs romaine" coming up. (Lettuce is outrageously expensive anyway; I need a new food to fixate on)
Dairy-free, Onion-Garlic-soy free soup? (a guy can dream)
Lard, fine (I've got a pill for lard) Meat, great (Love meat) So don't hand me your pretentious upper-crust soup, you with the wire-rims and the snarky attitude "Save the whales! Buy our $7 soup"
...Nothing?
It's another month of salads. I don't mind so much, except mayonnaise is made by snarky millionaires
Eat oysters, die. Eat Bananas and milk, die (eventually, and get reported on)
Eexcuuse me all to hell for not buying steak smothered in EVOO.
"carbs" make a tummy happy.
Arugula and liver, don't. (real simple)
Leave my doughnuts alone! And my KFC.
(Reality-check, there are no decent doughnuts, and KFC sort of avoids this town, like we had measles)
Bring back Lard!! (for doughnuts, tortillas, chicken!!)
wire-rim bespectacled vegans ruined doughnuts.
Well anyway, Google claims there are shops using lard, but none are near here.
Consider soy, the silent deadly killer:
Hydrogenated anti-foam, don't you feel healthy now??
Mutant outcasts pay zillions more for soy-free food... but that's a different manifesto...
Somewhere (I don't remember where) there's this little machine in a fast-food-chain making fries from powder. https://www.google.com/search?q=fries+made+from+powder&oq=fries+made+from+powder (Warning: Google AI can change its answers in seconds.) Gone are the hollow, sad fries-comments. It brightened up and tried to tell me it had many interesting ingredients. I'm of the opinion that, after reading about them, fried in Soy as they are, they're nearly as bad for you as raw oysters.
Anyway, stop eating so much soy, see what happens!
I would not want to cast aspersions on a local family-restaurant. Neighbors work there.
Fine, but we (my wife and I) had to leave pretty quick while she tried in vain to hide her little brown stain. Something in their very bland family food shocked her system. (She never ate much of anything)
The guy advertising on Fox News' site not to eat Blueberries, doesn't say why (until the ad gets clicked, I guess) But Google seems to think they're healthy, unless you eat massive quantities, and then you might get the runs.
Wash off the insecticide, or get a chicken-hugging kid to pick them (in France)
friendly fruits: BANANAS, Blueberries. I won't know what exactly happens when you overeat Blueberries, stay tuned.
Pblltt..I wanna freeze them for a week at most. Well, we'll see. (frozen bananas? but when they are thawed, are they OK?) Frozen-then-thawed is a very mushy banana, nevermind.
Apparently, Romaine is the "It" lettuce, the influencer. Iceberg stays at home alone and hides inside hamburgers. F*cket, I'll buy "iceberg" (if it really is cheaper)
Typical veggies, cheap and dirty, get hosed off and an "Organic" label gets stuck on them. More labels, more money! But I only know "Organic."
(Vine ripened, hand-picked, free range, from France?)
Point being, there's always a company making google's front page, selling this or forbidding That.
Apparently, you can get legionnaire's disease gathering together to eat raw oysters and contaminated lettuce, But I'm blending all the stories, and I'm sure they'd be pissed about that.
vs the radio station I haven't tuned into yet, "Galaxy news" something, Enclave is bombastic (garrulous?) and cannot be avoided, it's everywhere. My little transistorized tv/radio could tune into it, and a couple others (I think there is a radio for aliens)
M-5, Landru, and a few AI-others I forget the names of. John Henry Eden is Landru except he talks a lot better.
Player pretends to be Captain Kirk and points out that the computer needs to destroy itself. Yeahbutt this being a game, it goes on and on past the nice ending. Should only US Americans get water, and should we poison the aliens? The failed experiments to build stronger armies? Colonel Autumn, a real asshole. Unless you believe Reddit, he was a real stand-up kinda guy.
Authoritarian-nationalist, prioritizing power over freedom (walk, talk, quack, ergo est)
Modifications to this game are called "mods," and that's great,
but mods that depend upon other mods and a special-installer,
are a pain in the butt and not worth the hassle.
A guy might get lucky with the standalone mod
of a powerful gun or with standalone indestructible armor,
but *usually* it's high effort for little reward,
and the game already does that.
"fawkes" is a guy talking like a mental hospital escapee. His massive meds have distorted his lips into a permanent grimace.
He was so damn popular, they made an action-figure of him. (He's so damn ugly, the action figure is pretty cheap)
I'm the "Lone Wanderer", and war never changes, how depressing.
But
It saves $50 or so on a new game, which is sort of the point. I'm afraid to even peek at this month's rent, which changes on a whim. Whose fault is it that the pipe broke and flooded my bedroom? Huh?
All my laundry is now mold food (think of the slime)
And my USB cable mysteriously *melted* (The part touching the floor?)
I don't really know WHY the plastic mount of the little connector looks like melted ice-cream on a hot day;
I must've been having a very bad week.
Speaking of cables...
The game requires me to *unplug* the cable in order to enter a console command. Either the keyboard Or the xbox-controller may work, not both. I worry that all the unplugging and replugging will kill my $50 controller! I wonder if they make a switch that I just don't know about yet.
Disabling "Xinput" is onerous, I need a shortcut, but (for now) that is my method.
It isn't available on Amazon anymore (otg) so I wanted to try this. Unfortunately there is no data anywhere blaming this on static electricity or how long this fix works.
The enormous amount of Useless generic info on google could fill a large book (probably does) but whatever the reason, it worked (for now)
I don't know if this is related, but I'm bringing it up anyway. I found the latest bluetooth driver and installed it here.
I still needed a way to test it, and I decided to play it on my phone.
BIGgie mistake. I had to sell my soul to satan and turn on internet access (access to what???)
And I still don't know if bluetooth really works; They'd rather use internet. I spent a few annoying minutes connecting/disconnecting/connecting again. Do you all go through this? I swear I've got some moldy headphones around that use bluetooth, I just can't remember where.
Stuff worked, but using the internet is cheating and an invasion of privacy. They just can't stand you doing anything "offline"
I'm writing this still wondering if Bluetooth works correctly
(what is with all the "Connect-disconnects?")
I noticed that the headphones didn't require any special tricks and connected instantly. A really nice person has a free equalizer for them too! "Peter Verbeek," it says.
If I want a picture from my phone, I plug in a USB cable and copy it over,
not give permission to make calls and read contacts and send it out over the internet... Something is way wrong with their logic. But then again, for the convenience of not using that usb cable, I should also be able to copy files using bluetooth (I've given up on streaming sound to a phone.)
I am pretty sure the bluetooth-part of my phone is willing, but people say I need an "App" which seems wasteful. If the app needs wifi as well, and internet access, it seems pointless.
I'd need more context. Like, OK, we read sometimes, that the stock market went up /down because some rich guy said something ominous, as if ALL stockholders make their decisions based on the summary in news articles? Anyway, I figured it was related; maybe not.
I've fired the word "prorogue." Eliminated a link to polls. And something else, I forgot (half the reason I write stuff down is to remember it better) "Bombastic / garrulous." The Plague (Dark Ages) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5BH8y7Pmq-g "https://www.songofthesouth.net/"
