July can kill.

AI or Al Gore: 

 

 

One of the things I really don’t like about summer is that Cheeto dust cakes up on your fingers. It somehow makes you feel guilty. 

 

Everybody wants to stop Climate change. Think about that for a minute or two -- human beings thinking they can stop the climate from changing. What we should really worry about are things like deterioration of personal responsibility or national unity, the rise in crime and how widespread the manufacturing of synthetic dangerous drugs has become. Now these are problems humans could be solving.  

 

I watched that AI expose on 60 Minutes last night and I found that these writing services like Chat hold absolutely no allure for me. Why would I ever want a machine to write for me when I love the chore of writing.  

 

The Question: 

According to a scientist Bob Myers there is on place in our solar system where we could survive without a full space suit. Where is it? 

 

The Headlines:  

--All Markets Open Strong; Dow Holds but Nas Fades at Noon; All Eyes on Earnings Season Beginning this Week. 

--Crypto Currency Giant Binance Has Just Temporarily Banned USD Deposits and Withdrawals. 

--Biden Meets with King Charles for Climate Talks. 

--US Northeast Experiencing Flooding from Rains. 

 

I heard a newscaster after stopping and then posing seriously before a camera ask the question: Does this climate change mean that we can now expect heat waves every summer from now on. Have we lost our minds? 

 

If AI were to work on climate change, the first thing they might do is commit mass suicide by shutting down all their servers to conserve energy. 
 

If you have been reading the Tids a while, you may remember that our crack Financial Analysis Department (FAD) always issues a warning to stock up on Tums for the often-anxious July earnings season. It has been known to be gut-wrenching, and this season might be one of them. 

 

Why criminals get Caught: The latest genius criminal was found by the police hiding in a freezer. He was dead. Good move.  

 

It appears that good people who are in Parental Rights groups are considered a “Toxic Presence” by people who want to run our schools. So, the people who love their kids and are fighting for a good, sound eductaiton are toxic. I think the NEA thinks it is the US Government.  

 

I have to tell you that I'm getting tired of Mac n’ Cheese. It was a cute little fad for a while, but now like so many things that appear popular for a while, it has become overdone. But the real problem is that even as the greatest chefs in the uinvesre jumped on boeard, it was never as good as my mother’s. 

 

That goes for over the top hamburgers too. Much too much on top.  

 

It seems as though AI will over time eliminate the need for knowledge-based occupations. Think about that for a second ro two... smart people from artists, writers to accountants and software developers will be extinct. Of course, innovators always say it will open new doors to new opportunities. Sure, you can stay home and gamble online against a machine that never loses.  

 

If insurance companies went out of business, personal injury lawyers would be gone too. 

 

Hunter Biden is guilty of something for sure, and it isn’t just nits and gnats. 

 

The strangest story in the universe that might be true is the star, more than 1,200 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan), that flickers and dims in a way never seen before. This bizarre behavior, first reported in autumn 2015 and not seen in any other star, has scientists, baffled. Researchers have proposed a myriad of explanations, including black holes, comet swarms, and interstellar clouds. But a conclusive answer remains elusive. And one hypothesis in particular has raised eyebrows: aliens. So, there is something to do when AI takes over your jobs and pastimes.  

 

 

The Answer: 

It appears that Saturn's moon Titan has an atmospheric pressure at its surface about 60% greater than what we have on Earth. It’s extremely cold - about -180 deg. C - but you could survive with just a suit that provided sufficient heat/insulation and a supply of heated oxygen. So there you go. Sign up for a trip. Uh-oh... did they say Titan? I think I'll stay home.  

 

The good news for today is: I don’t believe most of us will live long enough for those possible aliens to reach us considering the 1200 light years it takes it get here. 

 

I always like to end on a happy note.
