I hear it’s a big holiday in China, where they set off fireworks and burn shit on up, kind of like Guy Faux Day but in the dead of winter. They close down the smoke-bletching factories that make all the US’ junk that burns so black when you toss it on the bonfire, much to the disdain of the Google AI which apparently does a very good job synthetizing the lib tards at the Minnesota Pollution Control Board.
Okay, I should be nice to the lib tards of the world, it is my 42nd birthday 🎂 and I mean they’re the alternative to the Trumpster. If you think the Status Quo is bad with inflation, 💵 look at what the disaster we have running our country. The only good thing I can say about him, is maybe he’ll push the market into the crapster and that will mean some good deals on the stock market, though it seems like the stock market found it’s feet yesterday after the world realized what American Artificial Technology is clunky, slow and wastes a lot of electricity and the Chinese without all the latest high-tech crap are doing it better. 🖥️ Truth is I’ll be happy when I can use locally-generated AI data using open source running locally to lots of cool things without big corporate computers fired by massive coal plants running thousands of miles away. 🏭
Did the world change completely now that I’m Mr. 2A, that is how my birthday – – 0x2A – – is written in hexadecimal as the first bit represents 32 plus 10 which is 42. 🔢 As I do more and more low-level programming in Assembler I notice shit like that much. Maybe it’s actually more noteworthy that I’m now as far away from my 41st birthday as my 21st birthday was from birth. 🍼 I’ve been drinking beer legally for a long time now, 🍻 though not smoking weed legally nearly as long. Plus I like the sound of 2A not just because of Andy Arthur but you know my views on Second Admendment – I don’t own nearly enough guns and they are fun to shoot up in the wilder until you get a sore sholder from all that recoil. 🔫 As you can see, I’m having a fun time on my birthday, it’s probably those delicious carrot 🥕 pancakes 🥞 I started out my day with.
I always like the Lunar New Years lantern 🏮 globes they have hung up in the Empire Plaza Concourse this time of year and think 🤔 they would be fun to have at camp, 🏕️ especially during summer vacation. I just can imagine staring at them from the hammock as high as fuck. Of course such things are illegal in the National Forest but so is burning plastic 🔥 which is why you do it late at night not that I’ve rarely seen many government enforcers around. 👮 I also didn’t put the empty plastic milk jug in the recycling ♻️ bin this morning as it was full and it’s my birthday 🎂 and I’m sure it can be recycled into carbon dioxide just fine. While HDPE plastics on milk jugs are one of the more recyclable – they actually have a plant on Fuller Road that turns them into the plastic lumber the DEC likes to use on their construction projects, they also make excellent fire starters that don’t stink that much unlike things with styrene. Or PVC the poison ☠️ plastic.
Warm enough this morning that after the few inches of snow 🌨️ and lots of road salt the roads are just wet. I’m walking 🚶 on the Plaza for a while but I’ll probably take the earlier shuttle 🚀 over to the Enterprise as I got stuff to do. If it turns to rain ☔ later maybe I’ll be able to bike in tomorrow. 🚲 Last night I did laps in the Plaza for about a half hour and planning to do similar this morning. Beats walking out in the cold ❄️. Plus I actually kind of like how the local bus is a bit slower with fewer hard stops because it’s better for reading 📖 and I’m not chatting with other passengers as happens with the express. 👥
