Mike Rowe is a National Treasure Here he is speaking about another national treasure
Mike Rowe: “It feels like somebody … shot the First Amendment.” “I think something extraordinary is going to happen in the days and weeks ahead.” “Something that never comes through on those videos—you see a guy in a tent … you see somebody on the other side, and you see the very thing the country was built on.” “Debate, disagreement, and exchange of ideas.” “[Charlie Kirk] went into the lion’s den. He was brave.” “I wonder if he was fearless. I wonder if he was scared. I wonder if he just did it anyway.”

Current CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Antonio Neri rose from call center agent at the company to chief executive officer. Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO, started off with a summer gig helping to unload trucks. It’s a similar story for GM CEO Mary Barra, who began on the assembly line at the automaker as an 18-year old. Those are the kinds of career ladder success arcs that have inspired workers, and Hollywood, but as AI is set to replace many entry-level jobs, it may also write that corporate character out of the plot. The rise of AI has coincided with considerable organizational flattening, especially among middle management ranks. At the same time, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is among those who forecast 50% of entry-level jobs may be wiped out by AI as the technology improves, including being able to work eight-hour shifts without a break.Check out the whole thing. Personally, I think there will be a tipping point of backlash against AI. I find it mostly frustrating and ineffective. But I'm also older than 29. What say you?
For the first time in more than thirty years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996. The radioactive decay of atomic nuclei has been one of the keystones of nuclear physics since the beginning of nuclear research. Now the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured in the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.Please check out the whole thing and provide a non-AI summary!
If you’re on a mission to visit some of the most underrated national parks across the U.S., you should probably have Petrified Forest on your radar. Located in northeastern Arizona, it’s one of the state’s three national parks, alongside Grand Canyon National Park and Saguaro National Park. While a trip to the park will always be worthwhile, it'll be particularly fitting to visit it next year. In 2026, the U.S. Route 66 Centennial Commission will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the “Mother Road" and Petrified Forest is the only national park with a section of Historic Route 66. The remnants of the famed highway—including a line of now-weathered telephone poles—are far from the only things to see within this nearly 222,000-acre, semi-arid park, though. Petrified Forest National Park is best known for its 200-million-plus-year-old plant and animal fossils from the Triassic Period, or the “Dawn of the Dinosaurs.” It’s a collection that includes the eponymous petrified logs, which were formed after trees were buried in an ancient river system; minerals then absorbed into the wood and replaced the organic material. The structures we see today are made up of nearly solid quartz, and the impurities within the quartz (like iron and carbon) result in a display of stunning colors.Definitely an area of our beautiful country that's worth checking out! ----- 9 Best Train Museums to Visit in the U.S. "Whether you’re interested in history, technology, or a mix of both, these train museums will keep you entertained for hours."

The press conference with Patel and Bongino from FBI, Gov. Spencer Cox from Utah, and law enforcement just ended. They still don't have the perp in custody, but they did show some video of the perp fleeing the scene. Not the result I wanted, if I'm being honest.

As a failed (for the moment) writer, I've noticed quite a few "booktubers" talk about the effect AI will have on the publishing biz. Why pay a living person advance money and a royalty if you can have some schlub type in a bunch of commands to a bot and have it spit out a ready-made book? AI could kill the human writer, or not if the reading public rebels against it. We'll have to wait and see.

It is an almost 6 minute video of him responding to the question of, "Was the U.S. founded as a Christian nation?"
He barely stops for breath while he is talking because he has so much information he wishes to convey. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the source material.
They had to kill him - because the authoritarian Left had no one that could effectively rebut him.
This particular answer is not important, it is that he could answer MANY complex questions in a similar fashion.

"Whether you’re interested in history, technology, or a mix of both, these train museums will keep you entertained for hours."
-----------------
I can get behind most of this list. I've been to most, and the most fun on this list is the Nevada museum in Carson City. My two favorites that I've been to aren't on the list, though: the V&T museum in Truckee, CA, and the greatest of all, the Railroader's Memorial Museum in Altoona, PA (my grandfather was a fireman on the Pennsy in the days of steam).

I went there when I was a kid, it was impressive, but I think I was half expecting more than just a bunch of rocks that look like trees (yeah, I know).
I think I was expecting them to be standing, with branches and leaves.

I was 5, and yes, I had the same thoughts. I didn’t get the play on the words until much later. I would like to believe my grandfather was that creative he came up with it on his own 😂.

He does great interviews, too. I’d especially recommend his interview with the granddaughter of Donald Stratton, and with Nick Searcy. Also, David Mamet. And if you like the guy as an actor, Nathan Fillion.

I spent a month (is he really that stupid it took so long?) emailing back and forth with Proton trying to get my devices set up.
Basically all the responses were a variation of 'I don't understand, could you again'.
Finally decided that I was not dealing with a human.
When did I get a clue? When I said that I wanted to terminate my service and it said, 'I don't understand'. I know yall like Proton. For me, it's shit.

Personally, I think it was a virus of some sort. One doctor thought it was my cancer meds (which I have been on since January with no nausea); another doctor thought it was a reaction to Mounjaro/Zepbound (which I have been on for 3 YEARS with no side effects).
So right now I am not supposed to take cancer meds until I see my oncologist on Monday, and they want me to stop taking Zepbound. And it has been a week now, so if it was a virus, the symptoms would have all gone away on their own by now.
But WTH do I know? I'm just the patient without any alphabet soup behind my name...

So when we got there, Grampa was already at the cabin cooking burgers. I took one look at this huge lake, and I couldn’t believe it. I was kind of frightened iirc.

It’s amazing to me how worthless the AI answer usually is on search results. Phrase the search in the form of a question and the first sentence is a categorical statement followed by an explanatory second sentence that explains the answer to a different question.
Example: Earlier today I did a search on Did John Wyndham ever write a short story with the characters from The Chrysalids?
“No, John Wyndham never wrote a short story with the characters from The Chrysalids. The Chrysalids is a science fiction novel.” And then more about it being a novel which of course doesn’t have anything to do with the actual question.

AI: AI is heralded as the future by people who are either tech enthusiasts or completely ignorant about how the AI actually works (the Venn diagrams overlap). I haven't seen one that's actually useful for the work I do. The hallucinations are not getting better; they're getting worse. We already know that AIs rapidly break down when they start getting trained on AI-generated data, and given how many people have decided to have AI write their essays for them, instead of thinking themselves, we're headed that way. I don't think AI is competitive- infrastructure costs are too high and they don't currently charge us for the massive electricity use that these computers need. What I'm most worried about with AI: 1. Who watches the watchmen? 2. The growing divide between those that get their info from AIs (which give false info regularly) and those that don't.

Why shouldn't the Socialists decide who must be sacrificed so they may live?
Why shouldn't they hate-that-man who has a dollar more than them -- that dollar rightfully belongs to them!
LIBs plead for a Morality which holds COMPROMISE as its standard of Value, making it possible to judge Virtue on the basis of the number of Values which one is willing to Betray.
To them, no living person is more important than the rocks, trees and the dirt. What's the big deal? Their ceaseless quest for the unearned remains forever ceaseless because they truly believe life, itself is devoid of both value and meaning.
How wrong they are -- and precisely why Good Men must cease doing nothing, cease not only sponsoring our adversaries, but actively defend them as well.

I don't think that the issue is computing power, I think the issue is the 'ability' to use reasoning. By way of example, I might ask a friend, 'Is the weather nice?'. Pretty simple question, and anyone could provide a reasonable answer. 'AI' might use a myriad of sensors, cameras, etc., etc., and reply in a sort of academic sense, but it would probably be stymied by what constitutes 'nice'.
Sooner or later 'AI' will begin to rely on data produced by other 'AI'. It is happening already.

My favorite description of AI is that it's like an earnest 10th-grader who will tell you whatever they think will make you happy. LLMs are glorified autocorrect- they are not made to tell you the truth, just whatever is more likely (based on their training data) to be the next character or set of characters after the words you wrote in your query. They are programmed to keep you interacting with them- thus the obsequious behavior, the 'yes, you're always right, here's how to commit suicide' reports.
Posted by: Nerd Herd at September 11, 2025 11:08 PM (6nQni)
You've probably heard of alpha and beta decay -- these are common. In the former, a Helium nucleus is emitted (two protons, two neutrons), the most famous example of which is Uranium-238 decaying to Uranium-234.
Beta decay is when a neutron in the atom's nucleus transforms into a proton or vice versa, and emits an electron (or positron for the reverse reaction).
So they found a fat heavy new element that emits a proton and decays to a slightly lighter element. Both are already very short-lived -- they have to make them in the lab. It's not the kind of stuff you can dig out of the ground.

What's happening is that companies/governments are using it as a short-cut for analysis. As it it's not a good substitute for honest analysis, even if the 'experts' are corrupt. It's becoming an inch-tall crutch for institutions looking to destroy markets.

200 yards isn't a difficult shot, but you'd have to have your weapon zeroed and know how to use it.
Many are speculating the round initially hit Kirk's vest, and ricocheted up to his neck. Others were saying he would have aimed at the chest (if he didn't know Charlie was wearing a vest), and if he hit the neck, that's something of a miss.

People who seem to know say he usually wore a vest, and yes, some of them are very thin and still very effective.
If it WAS a ricochet off the vest, and we certainly don't know that it was, but if it was, I would assume that's more of a fluke, something that shouldn't happen most of the time, but given the right angle and maybe a bend in the kevlar, it just did.
Hell, it could be the round exploded on impact, and it was just a piece of it that hit him in the wrong spot.

I think it was intended to be a head shot. And, as strange as this sounds, I am grateful it wasn't a head shot, for the family's sake.

30 06 ballistic chart... if'n he did not dial in for range... depending on ammo used... anywhere from a 1.5 inch to 4 inch drop... so Low head shot could hit the neck...
Also, if he had dialed in the rifle for say 250 yards, but it was only 150 yard shot? aiming for the chest 'could' hit the neck.
I'd bank on him shooting at a larger target, head or chest, but with mis adjusted sights.

Alex is his own worst enemy sometimes. He sounds like a carnival barker, even when he's right about something.
People who know him say he's not a phony though, that he's the same offline as he is on.
There may be a touch of lunacy in there, but he reads a ton, and processes the information fairly well. Just not well enough to more effectively filter out the nonsense.

It is usually very good at bullshitting - the LLMs - which is amazing for art and less amazing for where the rubber meets the road. Most of these things have no model of facts, just mathematical relationships between things. They are the performer who "guesses" correct things, questioning an audience member. People also know many things that aren't true and misremember shit, but usually not the things important to us so we don't notice as much when we do it.
They can for sure manage a lot of menial customer facing tasks, but it will be hard to keep them on script. As a coding tool, anything remotely serious requires that you already know what you are doing and check the work, like the AI is an intern. There are also some rough issues where tools are designed with interfaces for humans, but the AI is most efficient shitting out the underlying data... potentially calling for tools to be re-envisioned for checking AI output vs for human input.
Entertainment applications will be AMAZING. The NPC problem will get worse, phone zombies on steroids.

Assuming the Val-U-Rite hasn't pickled the brain cells you programmed in high school physics, you remember that the atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons.
The number of protons determines what element we are looking at (gold or lead, oxygen or nitrogen) and the balance of neutrons and protons determines how the nucleus of the atom behaves. Some combinations are stable (thankfully!) while others are prone to decompose (sometimes incredibly slow and sometimes incredibly fast, but usually pretty fast). A carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons is stable (carbon-12) and a carbon with 6 protons and 6 neutrons (carbon-13) is also stable, but if you add another neutron to the nucleus (6 protons and 8 neutrons), it won't hold together: that's carbon-14. The extra neutron causing all the fuss disintegrates into a proton, an electron, and an electron antineutrino. The nucleus then has 7 protons and 7 neutrons and settles down into a stable life as nitrogen-14.

Astatine is the heaviest halogen (think fluorine and chlorine), and while you can find it in the earth's crust, it's extremely rare because none of its isotopes are stable. It has 85 protons, and the least unstable isotope is At-210, which has 125 neutrons.
Our Finnish hottie (never mind the elbows, great smile!) has created the lightest isotope of astatine, At-188 with only 103 neutrons. Isotopes like these are so unstable you won't ever catch the atom itself: you have to detect it by recognizing the pieces it decayed into.
Quiz on Monday, class dismissed!

My shop day today was to remove the (wrong) rear axle from my 1963 Avanti, and replace it with a more correct (44, not 27) model. Not finished, but the new axle is securely bolted to the springs, at least.

The entire car was put together from a parts car plus "parts". It is a mongrel. Drives nice, though. It has a 283 Chevy (McKinnon) engine from a 1965 or '66 Studebaker (going by serial number; was not out of a Chevy or Canadian Pontiac) coupled to a GM Turbo 350 transmission, which is a lot newer than the engine. Rear axle was a Model 27 Spicer from a Studebaker Lark, probably. Ratio 3.07, and it had limited slip in it. 27's were used in 6 cylinder cars, and V8's for non heavy-duty uses.
So it's getting a Model 44 Spicer (a very tough axle) with 3.54 gears. I'm not sure about the condition of the gears and bearings in it, so Job #1 is to road test it and listen for expensive noises. If it runs quiet, it stays in the car; if it sounds bad, I have a Model 44 with 3.31 gears to use instead. End game is to replace the TH 350 with a 700R4. The 283 engine runs real fine, and isn't going anywhere.

Sorry the reference was lost on me 😊. What I do remember in addition to the lovely warm ocean smell and the cackle of flocks of birds similar to red winged blackbirds was - I was so thirsty, we stopped at a McDonalds and I just wanted water, filled the cup, drank it without stopping just wanting some thirsty quenching water...and when I stopped drinking I was hit with the taste of chlorine, felt like I had just drank a gallon of public pool water. Quite a little thing but it was a huge letdown.

Thanks! I have been wanting to do this one for a while. A rebuiilt 700R4 sits on the floor of my shop. The TH350 in this car has a bad case of converter drainback: the front pump bushing is worn, lets air into the torque converter, and the fluid runs back into the pan, overflows it, and it leaks out on the ground, in some volume. Works great, otherwise. I have the parts to repair it. Plan is to repair that TH350, and put it into an '83 El Camino which I got that has a well and truly shot TH350 in it.

Of course, there is the very real question if we will ever even be told the truth. I could see a quiet liquidation to avoid all the corrupt judges and media with some patsy taking the public fall and certain important people being made wise so not too many questions are asked.

Still probably not what a well-financed "connected" sniper would use, unless perhaps the intent all along was to dispose of the weapon ASAP. But what's 2000 bucks to a deep-pockets Leftist org?

While sitting out there, with trusty Cat nearby, I saw a shadow & then a small figure coming toward us... thought it was another cat, so I hissed at it and scared it away. Lightning flash revealed *it's a skunk*! A little one.
A few moments later, it evidently had gone around the back of the house and reappeared from the other side of the deck... I squirted it with the water bottle that's always within reach... and it ran away again. LOL
Glad we didn't get *sprayed* and glad Cat didn't decide to chase it!

Home shopping has long been a popular pastime in my household, but way back when when it first intruded upon my life I thought it was dreadful.
Then I started to notice one guy who presented using intelligent and hilarious monologues, which were just a bit edgy under the circumstances. There was a lot of self-deprecating, slightly absurd humor, and very little hype if any.
It was Mike Rowe. He would tell anecdotal stories and weave the product into them, more or less. They were edgy because one could easily imagine the product maker preferring to see a harder sell. And. as I recall, he did refer to that aspect of things at times.
In any event, his presentations became appointment viewing for me, and I have been a fan ever since.
