LLM "AI" is an expert joule thief. It also gets paid to read Reddit and whatever 4chan is.

The sulfur in that should make beautiful golden pyrite.

From a recent TV ad for Miele dishwashers: "I like German screws."

It's not just alcohol. Long ago, my family's house had a Brazilian pepper tree in the landscaping. When the berries got ripe, birds would arrive, eat the berries, then stumble and flap around on the ground and make strange noises for a while before sobering up enough to fly.

The BAe 146 more often than not, released a generous cloud of oil smoke into the cabin at startup. PSA would advise passengers of this and of the impending somewhat scary noise reduction maneuver that would occur just after takeoff.

There has been varying guidance on prophylactic prescription of an antibiotic around dental procedures. I have sometimes had, from at least age 19, a sound variously described as a bruit or a mid-systolic click. For several years, dentists had me take amoxicillin around dental procedures. Guidance apparently changed, recommending antibiotics only in cases with more specific signs.

Postum has been resurrected. It is made from wheat and molasses. It was popular with Mormons and others who shun caffeine. It was in my family because my mom and grandmother reacted to coffee, so alternated between tea and Postum, and it was drinkable by kids.

What gets marketed as Kona coffee does not necessarily have much Kona in it. A limited amount of good quality coffee is grown on Maui. There were fairly large new plantings on Kauai some years ago, but that product at the time was insipid. I don't know if the growing conditions, the cultivars, or the newness of the plantings were responsible, but it was not worth buying except as a curiosity.

This does not work well with Shqipëria.

BMW's headquarters building is a 4-cyl. They can't help it.

Around age 14, in the no prescription public ads era, I was in the doctor's waiting room. He had copies of JAMA and some other journals on the waiting room table. I was leafing through one of these, when I spotted an eye-catching full page ad. There was a dramatic drawing of some large predator cat jumping out of the page, with the tag line "Morning Cats". I don't recall exactly which drug this was for, but the reference likely was to a morning spike in catecholamines, so it was probably for a beta blocker.

Now we have Wegopee, brand name for generic flimflamflubmab.

I have seen similar behavioral changes with cocaine. LLM: the 70s disco era of claimed artificial intelligence.

My eyes have had slightly different color perception from at least age 19 or so when I first noticed. My bed had a wooden headboard with sliding doors for storage, all stained brown. One morning when I awakened, I looked at the headboard with one eye, then the other, and noticed the difference. Later, with color darkroom experience, I found that one eye saw about CC 05-10 more green than the other. Decades later, everything began having a warmer color gamut: cataract. Since intraocular lens replacement, I'm back to the original perceptual difference (and vastly better resolution and peripheral vision). My dad was said to have been somewhat blue/green color blind.

I had a coworker who was fully red/green color blind. I would copilot him when using certain test equipment with indicators that would go from green to red.
