@david_jgpeoples Why not. It is still early in AI. It is a good habit to have. Humans are habitual creature. Say it again when the captive audience can’t tell the difference. Who knows. In the father future, you might be famous for the quote.

@unusual_whales Which is what? Sixteen years from now? It is his kind of con. Don’t really mean it. But can do it to deceive the public.

.@SarahAMatthews1 on Trump grading Lindsey Graham's loyalty after his death: "Trump holds a grudge against Lindsey Graham for briefly distancing himself after Jan. 6th, but he has endless praise for the insurrectionists. That tells you everything about this man's priorities."

Ok I will try again. Because I can’t seem to delete the older version. Read or at least listen to, Camilla Pagilia’s books. Please. After all Books are organized thoughts. As to which one…

[Bureau of Reclamation @usbr]

Palisades Dam just received a major upgrade.

The original hollow jet valves from the 1950s have been replaced with modern, 90-inch, jet flow gates. These new gates are remotely operated, giving teams more precise control, improved reliability, and safer, more efficient dam operations.

The largest nuclear bomb in outer space exploded 64 yrs ago today.
Starfish Prime was a 1.4 megaton thermonuclear warhead, detonated at the altitude the Space Station now orbits. It created man-made radiation belts that wrecked many satellites & lasted 5+ years.
A year after the test the USA & USSR signed the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, leading to the global 1967 Outer Space Treaty.
