So I created my own party. It’s called the Sloth and Indolence Party, and I’m running as an anarchist candidate in the best sense of that word.  I’ve studied the presidency carefully. I have seen that our best presidents were the do-nothing presidents: Millard Fillmore, Warren G. Harding. When you have a president who does things, we are all in serious trouble.  If he does anything at all, if he gets up at night to go the bathroom, somehow, mystically, trouble will ensue.

I guarantee, that if I am elected, I will take over the White House, hang out, shoot pool, scratch my ass, and not do a damn thing.  Which is to say, if you want something done, don’t come to me to do it for you; you got to get together and figure out how to do it yourselves.  Is that a deal?

There’s no reason for food prices to change. The food industry is already subsidized to handle fluctuations. This is one more excuse at price gouging to boost corporate profits.

Results. We find that the predicted fate of the Earth is highly sensitive to the tidal model and the assumed mass-loss rate. Based on updated tidal dissipation prescriptions, Earth survives the RGB and AGB phases of the Sun. In contrast, the use of earlier prescriptions of tidal dissipation prescriptions leads to engulfment during the AGB phase. Furthermore, low AGB mass-loss rates result in engulfment, and vice versa. Using the observed mass-loss rates of the AGB star L2 Pup as a proxy for the Sun’s future AGB mass-loss rate results in the survival of the Earth during the AGB phase when combined with our tidal dissipation evaluation.

Conclusions. Currently, the survival of the Earth and the inner Solar System is not robustly determined and critically depends on the treatment of tidal dissipation and stellar mass loss. Given the current observational uncertainties in AGB mass-loss rates, the ultimate fate of the Earth remains uncertain, highlighting the need for improved constraints on the late-stages of stellar evolution. However, considering observational proxies for the Sun during the AGB phase, it is likely that the Earth will survive the Sun’s red giant phase.

Having watched it three times, I’m happy to keep this gem to myself. I don’t need to share this masterpiece with anyone. I’m keeping secret what treasures it holds.

Immich is very popular, but there are more options there to check out.

Immich is a Google Photos alternative to manage and share your photos and videos. Comes with its own mobile app, as well as AI and search features.

PikaPods is a managed hosting solution for open source server apps. Their homepage explains a lot, and if you do some web searches, you can see they’ve got a good reputation.

Authors could sign their work digitally. PGP wouldn’t prevent them from lying about using AI, but they could build up a reputation for not using AI, and people could verify it was the author’s creation.

So maybe not great, just good.

This would be a great use of PGP

Yeah, this is why it makes me irate that my oven automatically turns off the light when I open the door. If the oven is on, let me turn off the light if I want it off. The light and the “waste” heat from the light are both useful.

In space, you’re weightless.

I knew it. I’m surrounded by assholes!
