Not "retirement fund", not State sponsored "savings". That's why original age limit. People were expected to plan their retirement funds THEMSELVES and for the tail of longevity curve State would help as those people lived more than they should have rationally planned for. All paying in, groving population, FEW receiving any proceeds

Our fire company and all neighbouring towns fire engines came and stopped the spread though, they expect to be there all night keeping it under control. Enormous amount of cattle feed went to smoke. Weather was hot but calm, no winds no storms,... Cause of fire unknown so far.

Interesting pattern on dissapering fat kids elementary->high school, all who I knew turned extremely athletic (pro rugby player, national basketball team player, national athletic team javelin thrower, national rowing team member,...)

It is (and was in OR) real law and regulatory for "safety" but really for employment, you were not allowed to pump yourself just as you are not allowed to set a fire in a gas station with similar legal consequences. Positive was that every station typically had multiple attendants and process was very efficient and comfy

Nobody is entitled to know your vaxx status nor to deny services due to your refusal. If denied, that is the point for lawsuit. (Well, nobody except if they are paying for your HC as in insurance...just wait 'till vaxxers find that loophole)

Latter is total energy from Sun that hits the Earth and can change both with orbit and amount of energy Sun sends. Counterintuitively, Earth is weakly dependent on it because of feedback loops of oceans and atmosphere. Solar activity is related to presence of high energy particles in that incoming energy, due to clouds when that is high,temperature quickly rises,when low-cut drops quickly

NASA ERBS, CERN Cloud Experiment, Beryllium concentration as tracer of Solar activity in long term ice core data, temperature record from long term ice core data - crucial precisely documented experimental data that points to Solar activity as the main driver of Earth temperature/climate.Orders of magnitude more than even orbital changes, the main&overwhelming driver.

And it is not poverty either, where I came from cultural assumption is that poor are more likely to be honest and law abiding, that best students come from poverty as they have most drive to better themselves. It is culture, predominant culture in given segment of the population. Solvable for free from inside, only will needed.

So,things that we CAN'T do is real advance not what we can

nostr:npub1a73wyr3s8ffagwsnlfd548d0nsaqcwdnn6550akehaxglw3kzc8qce7y6q Example from my current work - functional MRI providing real time record of chemistry happening in the brain. At the current stage we have it in form of 8 dimensional "movie". Humans know what to look for in that complexity but we are not designed for studying details of 8 dimensional movies. AI need not be general or generative, just as our cerebellum it needs to learn from slow conscious meatbags and than execute. So revolution is - human ideas that CAN'T be done by us now doable.

However, I believe from the evidence that other AI uses will actually dominate and be the actual IR: AI that does tasks humans can envision and invent but are extremely hard and slow to execute by humans even with current computing tech. That end will lead to actual life advances, not generative one. (1/2) examples to follow

When my current Win 7&Mac machines are not usable any more, I am not getting another WinPC or Mac, they are going Sun way to obsolescence. Linux will remain
