Auld Dick - an OK BOOMER

Long time Sci/Tech lover and practitioner, socially tolerant, fiscally conservative, apolitical, unremarkably ordinary, admitted pedant, long suffering cynic.

Don't follow me. I don't know where I am going.

Fiscally conservative means cheap.

Apolitical means I am unaffiliated with any party but I vote and reserve the right to express opinions on governmental administration and persons involved in governing.

@Morning_Joe A new role for the Secret Service (SS?).

@RonBrownstein @MollyJongFast I recognize this as dementia. It is the same behavior, i.e. misremembering current and past events. Rambling speech and aggravated temperament are also telling. Although, he has always rambled, it is always an attempt to obfuscate his knowledge.

@MarkHamill @joncoopertweets The punishment is the catastrophic demolition of democracy that accompanies the election of this megalomaniac. Should he be re-elected he will see it as the greenlight for his autocratic rule.

@GeorgeTakei She's not wrong.

@todhale @MichaelEMann @AlyssaW667 @ruthbenghiat @RadioFreeTom @jonathanstea @PeterHotez @davidwengrow Agreed, Sagan was trusted and his statements were accessible by everyone. He brought the issues into the public consciousness. Experts can publish all the facts they want but nothing happens until there is enough awareness (Sagan) and fear of the consequences of doing nothing.

@todhale @MichaelEMann @AlyssaW667 @ruthbenghiat @RadioFreeTom @jonathanstea @PeterHotez @davidwengrow Let's not forget the prophesies of Carl Sagan.

@SethAbramson The fact that it looks like a Mad Max road machine that gets destroyed seconds into the chase sequence.

@LakotaMan1 Truly, a shameful moment in history for all mankind.
In the name of Christian dogma.

@realKyleKeegan @OleanderNectar Why do folks equate celebrity with intelligence?

@MeetThePress Just because a thing is difficult doesn't mean that it cannot or should not be done.

@JessicaUSAF Right on Calvin 👍🏻

[Auld Dick - an OK BOOMER @dwinx49r]

This sounds right.

I even tried requesting that the crossword be printable. Same/similar image in a pdf document. The numbers in the grid were readable.
Not sure how to get the questions to be viewable. They come out like they have been obscured on purpose.

My wife is addicted to crossword puzzles. The harder the better.
Out of curiosity, I tried to get GPT-4 to generate a 20x20 cell crossword using answers related to American history. The result was less than stellar. I couldn't read the questions on the produced image...

@jodikyman Soft in the head maybe...

@TeaPainUSA Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

@robreiner Ranked Choice Voting can alleviate some of the dilution with multiple candidates.
