I bloody love me a cup of coffee in the morning. I got a discount brand that a lot of people look down on recently (not to be named). I had in the past absolutely hated this brand. I however saw how much a friend was liking it, and tried it again. The risk was high as there is a massive amount of it for the price, and if I hate it, I'm stuck drinking crappy coffee for 2 months or tossing it out. Good thing is, I loved it. It's a breakfast blend and it's bloody delicious. I don't know what has changed since I had the brand years ago, but man it is good. It's smooth and rich. All the things it was not in the day. Before it was bitter and horrible. Now it's up there with any of the larger brands of coffee. With about 2lbs of, it's enough to last a while. I've been into it 3 weeks now and it's only 1/4 of the way gone. Being that I use rather a lot of coffee in the Moka pot to make a single cup, this is amazing to me for sure. If you are doing a 10 or 12...

I have it at about 85F in my apartment the last week. This does not keep me from feeling like I'm freezing. So here I am wrapped up trying to keep warm. The entire time I'm literally sweating, but I feel so very cold. It's caused by a medication I am on that messes up my body knowing what temperature I'm at. 444 is the Angel number. It represents that fact that when you see the number or it comes up in sacred math, there is an Angel near you taking care of you and protecting you. 11:11 Represents either an Angel watching over you, or a loved one who has passed trying to give you a message. Often when I see this time on the clock, I smell Moms perfume and I know she is telling me she loves me.

Heredity by Rational Youth was put out in 1985 and had the following songs. A side: Heredity, No More and No Less, Call Me, In Your Eyes, I've Got a Sister in the Navy. B side: Bang On, Freeze, Burn the Night Away, Holiday in Bangkok, Sorry The first album by them I had was Cold War Night Life from 1982. This was so very different from any of the other bands of their kind that I fell in love with the band. Heredity took me to the next level and it was such a divergence from anything else I had listened to, that I found it inspiring and it in fact altered how I saw art, music and many other things. It gave me the desire to do art, and that lasted my entire life. I as a side note got big into poetry because of this album. No More and No Less was my absolute favorite song on the album. I have to say, to this day, this is my favorite album of all time. The list of albums of theirs I owned on LP where: Cold War Night Life, Rational Youth (both versions), Heredity. Later on digital or CD...

AI generated images are NOT able to be copyrighted. The primary processing of the image is done by a non-human. Thus not copyrighted. I've seen people get all kinds of upset over others using an AI image as a visual prompt for another AI image. Well, too bad, it's allowed by law. As for actual human generated images, it's a toss up. If the AI is "significantly altered" then copyright is not violated. It's the same with human generated images copied after another work of art. It's nice to credit origins however most of the time people forget. Fan art is a fine line. It can't be sold in some countries but is allowed. In other countries it's not at all allowed. There has been all manner of people trying to sell fan art or have it as subscription viewing. Not allowed. How about AI fan art? Well if the character looks enough like the original that it's in violation. If it only has a slight resemblance, then no violation. Images used as a base in AI ...

If I could have 5 things from Sci-Fi to use in my real life, what would they be? Now we have to assume they would work in real life as they do in the movies and/or on TV. So here are my choices: 1. Replicator. This should be obvious. To be able to make anything I need, including food, clothing, personal items, and so on. No more needing to wash clothing for example - just recycle the old, dirty clothing into the replicator and poof new clean clothing. 2. Porthole generator. To be able to move anywhere on earth I wanted when I wanted. Yes, you could get up to no good with this in short order and it would be a hell of a security risk. But being able to go see the great wonders of the world, all on the same day, would be incredible. 3. Holo emitters. For personal fun and for practical use. With a solid hologram like in Star Trek, you could have them clean your home and dance for you, or even act out entire books or movies in hyper realistic ways. 4. Tractor beam that can be reversed to re...
