Yeah … it’s best to grab what money you can now and run … because you won’t be able to later

Rich kids and their cable TV … I only ever saw maybe 10 full episodes of TNG in the 90s and about 20 partial episodes … never in sequence and most of the time only be accident on over the air public TV.

My family got satellite cable TV eventually but I had moved out by then. So I never saw all of TNG until I downloaded the entire series in the early 2000s. Once I learned about torrenting, it was the first thing I wanted to get, just to finally see the whole series.

Even if you have 30 years of life left, I don’t think the average person (including me) could survive 30 days in a deserted island. Which means you would spend the rest of your life there.

I usually hold onto the box of anything I buy brand new for about three months. After that you can get rid of it.

Electronics either work or they don’t, there is seldom anything in between.

If your device doesn’t fail or develop problems within a month or two, then it will last the warranty period and much longer if you take care of it.

I just hang onto the box for two or three months just to be sure.

The only other reason to hang onto the box is if you plan on reselling the device in a year or two. It’s a lot easier to resell for top dollar or a higher price if your device is clean, undamaged, has original manuals and the original box.

Repetition … and repetition in multiple formats

Repeat what you want to remember
Repeat inside your thoughts
Repeat it out loud (either to no one or to someone nearby)
Repeat it with action … point, touch, move or just handle the thing or object related to what you want to remember
Repeat it by writing … write it down and note it

Then do the same things again and again … eventually over time, these things will get ingrained in your thoughts and actions.

Some processes take time to remember (like playing an instrument) but others take less time (like where are my damned keys!)

I guess this is the model that governments are using these days to try to figure out how to save democracy

Figure out first how to destroy it … then you can know how to save it

But I think they’re going a little overboard in the first half of that process

is there an option for ‘All Of The Above’?

Kicks down the door with his non-vampire partner who enters first … non-vampire steps inside the building and tells his vampire friend to come in

If you run away to an island after only half an hour of work … I don’t think you’ll be spending 30 years there … you’ll be spending the rest of your life there

no problem … transport buffer … any time they run out of room for things … transport buffer … even if you run out of room … transport buffer … need a part? it’s in the transport buffer … crewman died? we got a copy in the transport buffer … need a warp drive? transport buffer … earth blew up? we got a copy in the transport buffer … sun collapsed? we got one in the transport buffer

John Deere killed this form of the beam when they held back any technology that didn’t allow the crew to fix their own tractor beam.

Eats 10,000 bread … gets Level 14 diabetes

Turns out Picard is a raging alcoholic with cognitive impairment and is only a figurehead the crew needs in place in order to manage the ship.

It also turns out that the entire crew is actually Borg which have adapted into creating perfect disguises for their physical implants and augmentations, to hide their identity and infiltrate the federation … with an entire federation ship crewed by Borg and captained by a single human who is a helpless easily manipulated alcoholic.

Someone … or a new artist should just release a new version of the song with new lyrics every year

But to your question … I’m Indigenous Canadian, so from the day I was born, I’ve always been overwhelmed by the world because most of it, especially living in northern Ontario was a government that either actively or passively just wanted us to either disappear, assimilate, go away or just die.

I’ve always seen the world as falling apart. I remind my friends when we debate this stuff that the human species has been around for about two million years, a species that looks like us was around about 100,000 years ago and the most modern ancestor that could think, act and be like us is about 50,000 years ago. We’ve only just started our technological evolution about 200 years ago. So when you think about it, we are more designed as prehistoric cavemen and cavewomen who are easily scared of shadows in the dark or what happens after we die. We have only just taken our first step out of the cave we all used to inhabit. It’s going to take us a few more thousand years to get to the point where our brains can process and live with the modern world we created … that is if we last that long. In the meantime, we’ll just fumble along trying to become temporary Masters of the Universe on our tiny speck of floating dust in the galaxy.

To put things into perspective … listen to Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot

Or watch the cartoonist Steve Cutts A Brief Disagreement

The thing that is pissing me off these days is not so much that the world is falling apart … it always has been for me … its that we are accelerating the amount of danger we are putting all of humanity … and for what? a little bit of profit and for a small group of people to say they can rule the world?
