WTF-Beta

Thinking about this more, it like the rule you clean from top to bottom. The dust, dirt, etc. naturally is stirred up into the air and then sinks to the bottom. The last thing you do is clean the floor.

I told this story but I had a five hour routine for cleaning my bedroom when I was six. It was like clockwork. It involved tasks like removing window screens, vacuuming them, washing the windows inside and out, polishing the furniture, and so on. It always ended after five house with me brushing the fringe on each side of the wool rug.

I think it's a blessing and a curse to have this OCD and almost a need for minimalist organization and maximum cleanliness. I think it's a curse because it takes a lot of energy but I see it as more of a blessing far and away.

It has given me and will continue to give me the ability to create the minimalism I like and use minimalism to design functional and beautiful, if I do say so myself, interiors (for instance, an audiophile's music listening room combined with a private college dorm room, something I have done, or to design a study from my imagination, my next project.

And as unusual as this might sound or be, I've known actual hoarders, and I wouldn't trade places with one for love or money.

I love the rain. I'm glad the rainy season in here. We're in the worst draught since before I moved home to Florida almost 10 years ago.

Thank you for your posts. I don't always agree with what you post but I almost always find it thought provoking.

Well, "science" is a interesting topic but like any sub-branch of any epistemological system, science is not an exact science (pun intended).

Questions like these aren't "solved" and then set in stone or displayed in a glass case.

"Measurements suggested the giant planet's rotation rate was changing over time, as if Saturn were somehow speeding up or slowing down. That puzzling result left scientists searching for answers."

I'd venture to say it appeared to be "changing" in fact because it was and is always changing. This isn't so much a mystery as it is the nature of the universe.

I just posted about this topic in my Chronos and Kairos thread.

We human beings have to be vigilant continuously about what Karl Marx (the writer whose work is canonical among intellectuals, not the "communist" we all love to hate) called reification. Reification involves setting up a continual feedback loop where we "play back" what we think we know in a way that the only outcome is our belief, whatever it was when we started believing it, can only end up being fallaciously reinforced.

The planets, the galaxy, the universe-- are never static and if a human being truly wanted to map their machinations, he or she would die trying...

Highd up to 89, scattered showers. Lows around 80, but for some reason the lows are are going to drop to low to mid 70s for several days.

That will be nice.

Not worried about hurricane season. I'm actually more worried about tornadoes after experiencing one.

I'm a layperson and even I can tell you the applicable law is as plain as day.

The fog rolls in here off of the Gulf. It's thick and reaches much higher than a human being stands. If happens at night and at dawn before the sun's heat inversion lifts it away. It doesn't happen often. It's very beautiful.

Speaking of dawn and dusk, our sunrises are more beautiful than anything I saw in Hawaii. The sky is a mixture of blue, white, purple, and pink. A lot of the natural beauty of rural Hawaii was beyond comparison but not the rising or setting sun as far as I remember.

He took the Commissioner of Social Security (or Acting... I should know this) and gave him a second job sinultaniously with a new (never existed before) title-- "CEO of the IRS."

He was going to dispuse the monies through SSA payments.

Did you say something? 🤪

Thanks for explaining that, jon.

Chronos beats his time drum and I'll let you in on an arcane fact few people know. Time can't be measured. There's no begining where it could "start" and so there's likewise no "stop" point, either. It's always changing based on the solar system, also, so even if you hypothetically found a stating point, it would be wrong in an instant.

Kairos was apparently the Greeks' answer to this problem. He makes time definite by choosing his timing.

It's not an easy thing to do and I imagine it's become even more difficult as kind of "analysis paralysis" can develop as society becomes an instrument of distraction in itself.

I love classics. I never put much time in it but I do intend to learn Latin (not spoken) and to study classical literature and mythology.

My digital Casio got "touched" when I was moving it and started to chime on the hour. I don't argue with it.

Since they're a buch of con artists who don't believe in their own "conservative ideas" and a bunch of psychopaths (along with plenty of Democrats) who when you say "war crimes," they hear, "It's Sunday," I guess they have no choice (especially being authoritarian and/or Christian nationalist maniacs by nature) except to act as if Trump's cult of personality is the glue holding them together.

I should probably edit this into several sentences but you get my meaning.

@axtremus No worries. It's relatively alive for something that's dead.

I'm sorry to hear that.

He introduced me to WTF and I will always be grateful.

@mary-anna As you know, I don't play and am not really equipped to discuss such arcane details, but I'm going to bet based on intuition that the answer is definitely yes. I reckon this is true for the same reason that as a bass line (no pun intended) the absence of touch is silence. My 2 cents.

In comparison to Chronos.

Time is my favorite topic full stop.

I thought this was interesting and this is my first time hearing about it.

My self taught classics education needs remedial attention! I at least know Latin is a dead language. Lol!

I hope everyone is having a pleasant Sunday.

I only wish that human beings could bring themselves to admit to themselves and others that they have been and are watching a live streamed genocide in Gaza and other places in Palestine.

We were taught to, "never forget." We were taught to believe in international law. We taught ourself that, "holocaust" is a word that no group of human beings owns.

The new owner of CBS is a Zionist billionaire that has given more money to the IDF than anyone in history.

CBS does not, as no media conglomerate does, operate under the FCC framework that we remember because the framework has been demolished.

CBS is now the definition of propaganda.

No true journalist can work for it as a reporter. The people who work at CBS now are stenographers.

This young person is promising because he hasn't agreed to betray journalism by being a stenographer.

I agree completely that everyone must make their way in the world.

I understand on the other hand that this is entirely possible to do without supporting a holocaust.

Wait till he sells his soul to the devil in a manner of speaking?

Good, independent minded people must exist in the world, or the sun and earth might as well collide into each other tomorrow.

Besides, there is independent media. If I repeat it 1,000 times, will I be believed?

Genocide. I said it.

Because, as Aristotle famously said-- A is A.

Anyone can say it, and mean it.

Or are we supposed to believe saying a self-evident truth is beyond the pale?

It so, why in hell?

If he "offended" CBS, too damn bad.

June 1 marks the start of hurricane season.

It looks like in the middle to late next week a storm will hit Florida on the Gulf coast somewhere and move east and north before exiting the state. I can't tell that there's any reason as of now to believe that it will be a named storm. It will probably be a lot of rain but with no real chance of flooding my neighborhood.

No. Not my sport. BTW, Motorola has a flip phone in license with them. Like the green color but don't want a flip phone.

@mik It's a strange thing. There was one at the house across the street. She was blocking the driveway. She said, "Can I help you?!" I said, "Yes, you can get out of my way so I can pass." She jumped out of the way and I turned my back on her. I haven't and won't speak to her again. We stayed there for 3 months in 2018. She knew who I was on the day I moved in. These people are impossible.
