FaceBook AI is over tuned

Facebook Jail it's that place where FB sends you when you've said something they now deem to be inappropriate.  Have you been there?  It's run by an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that seems to be out of control and is violating the first amendment or is it?   FB is a private company and can make it's own rules.  No shirt, No Shoes, No slightly or suggestive comments. 

Looks like the conspiracy theorists have ruined FB.  Hal!  Hal! Open Pod bay doors......  

We know you want to make a comment so go ahead and do it

Personal Protection Equipment a/k/a PPE

The process of disposing of PPE gear was always thought to be the safest, but what if the gear was re-usable?  My concept would be a suit that could be worn with a small air pack when done with a patient a hospital worker could step into a chamber that would spray them or mist them with a disinfectant and they could move on to next patient more quickly than if they had to change to another set of gear.   The chamber would have a red and green light to let people know when it's safe to step out.  Kind of like getting screened at the airport except now you get disinfected.

The air pack should circulate through the suit to keep the occupant cool or warm as needed. The air packs should be rechargeable on site.  

Each suit could be cleaned on the inside after a shift by inflating it with air containing disinfectant that dries quickly.   Suits could come in various sizes for heights and have adjustable Velcro straps to adjust for the workers size.

The head gear for these suits could come with various communications equipment and lights like space suit.   We have the technology this concept should not be that hard to fabricate.

The cost would be recovered very quickly by not having to throw out PPE outfits and dispose of them.  The time it takes for a hospital worker to change gear is worth money and more importantly lives.  Those of the patient and the hospital workers.  

I don't know what material would be good to make these suits,  I was thinking of something like a divers dry suit but a lighter weight.  

Maybe someone with more technical knowledge than me will  read this and make it work.  

Spray and Wipe at the Gym

It's a silly subject but hey it's on my little mind.  The massive waste of paper towels at the gym as everyone is constantly spraying some colored liquids on everything thinking they are making things sanitary.  I think it's a corporate hoax.  There is nothing in those bottles except maybe and it's a big maybe but I think it's windshield washer fluid.  There is no sanitizing chemicals in that stuff or it would have an odor.  Did you notice it has no odor?  Spray and Spray again.  Some folks are just plain spray crazy and you have to wait 20 minutes for the equipment to dry.  Please someone tell them to drop by my house.  They can spray and wipe all they want.  Start with the toilets, tubs and sinks.  Do some vacuuming that should get the cardio going.  When I first started going to the gym you were supposed to bring your own sweat towel which was usually you mom's dish towel.  Think about it can you imagine Dwayne Johnson running around the gym spraying everything?  People like him usually have their own personal gyms with sweat people like at a tennis match.  Zoom wipe that sweat.  Look it's really simple bring your own freakin towel,  spray one wad of paper towel and see how many times you can reuse it.  Save a tree. That pink stuff in the bottle, well the jury is still out on that since nobody really knows what it is.  Who knows maybe it's like that weed killer and we're all going to die from it.  Now give me two more reps you lazy slug.

People that hover at the #gym

Don't ya just want to smash those people that hover over you while you're doing sets on a machine.  They are not even serious work out people it's just they've got it in their little minds that your on their machine and their working a circuit so you are in their way.  They don't even ask if they can work in.  They just stand and hover and stare.  Yesterday this girl stood with her hands on her hips like OMG will you ever get off the machine.  Now if you do that do me it just motivates me to do more sets slowly at a heavier weight.  Damn my legs hurt today but she was really pissed.  And of course I left the pin at the higher weight.  And to make things worse I didn't spray and wipe.  I bring a towel and had the towel on the machine.  So next time you want to use a machine trying asking if you can work in.  Don't ask that stupid question, "Are you done?"  No I'm resting between sets you doofus.   It's time for people to learn gym etiquette.   If you are a regular you acknowledge the other regulars.  It's not an invite for a social gathering unless you actually know me.  And guys don't stare it's rude.  Bring a freaking towel they cost a dollar at Wal-Mart,  Stop wasting those paper towels.  And if you must spray don't over spray that crap is watered down so much I don't think it kills anything.  Build up your immune system take some vitamins.   And for goodness sake put the weights back when you are done.  Ladies leaving the 5lb dumb bell in the middle of the gym makes you the dumb bell.  If you have to drop the weights it's too heavy for you and no one is impressed.  Unless your a professional body builder all that yelling and grunting is totally unnecessary and just proves you don't know how to breath properly.   If you see someone on a bench don't stand in front of them so you can see yourself in the mirror.  It's not there for to pose it's there for you to check your form and make sure you are doing the exercise correctly.  

This is all very serious especially this part,  wash your damn clothes.  No they do not look better and damn they stink as do you.   Now stop talking on your phone, and if you must take it outside I'm focused on my jams and concentrating on not dropping the weights on your stupid iPhone.

Now go have a good workout.

Will the Democrates re-elect Trump?

Will the Democrates re-elect Trump?  It's an odd questions will the opposition get the resident president re-elected but the way things are going it will probably just happen.  Joe is the one of the oldest candidates with Bernie leading the age pack.  It's a strange world we live in, where a giant pervert that sits around playing with his phone all day is leading one of the most power nations on earth.  Certainly there is a sinister plot at work probably Putin to destabilized America.   Looks like it's happening to the UK also.  Instead of focusing on global warming and feeding the people the tyrants are out stealing everyone's money and driving the planet into oblivion.   If you think I'm crazy they why is that Musk guy so hell bent on getting to mars or anyplace he get off this rock.
Live while you can the future is an illusion, sorry to disappoint.  I fear we might be doomed if this guy stays in office.

Microsoft Blows Chunks

The end of the Windows 10 phone is closing in on us.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4485197/windows-10-mobile-end-of-support-faq

It's like getting punched in the throat, you spend a ton of money on a phone then they drop it after making all kinds of advertising claims.  It was even the go to phone on Hawaii Five Oh so for a while it was cool.  But then they tucked tail and ran because they couldn't or wouldn't compete with Android and those Apples in their New Balance.

I think Microsoft should reimburse everyone who bought one of their phones looking forward to all the great things they promised.  Now they want you to install a ton of their apps on your Android and Apple phones to pretend you still have a Microsoft phone.

I'm buying my next laptop without an OS and installing Ubuntu.  I'm going to punch Microsoft in the throat and see how they like it.  Lower their overinflated stock

Walmart to raise prices

Extra Extra read all the BSart

Walmart says higher tariffs on China goods will increase prices for U.S. shoppers, what it should say is Trump is trying to recover the lost income from the tax breaks he gave himself.

Walmart said the company will also try to obtain products from different countries and work with suppliers to blunt the impact of higher tariffs.  I'll bet once WalMart and many others raise their prices that even if the tariffs go back downt the prices will stay high with the excuse they bought them at higher prices.  Which would be a big lie.

The higher tariffs have barely been applied, the merchandise that will garner the higher tariffs have not even reached the shelfs, but Walmart is already chompping at the bite to raise prices.  Already publishing the punishing news that prices will go up. 

Will I pay more for only goods from China?  or will they distribute the cost increase across the board?  Can I avoid goods made in China?  I bought a TV from Samsung it says assembled in Mexico,  what tariff do I pay? It's probably filled with parts from China.   

Let's ask the big question,  when is something made in China?  when is made someplace else?  Will China try Transhipping?   I'll bet you all thought this was simple just don't buy things from China.  Who goes to jail if they are Transhipping?     Do you know why Trump's red ties are so long?  It's because his factory in China saw him and they thought making them long would be a good thing.  So Trump ended up with a ton of ties that are too long.  We call those IR's like Trump they are Irregular.

Walmart said the company will also try to obtain products fr

What's a Tariff and how will it affect you

Tariff is very simply a tax on goods being brought into a country.  The importer (receiver) pays the tax when items arrive at your country.  So a Tariff from China means that when China ships something to you and it arrives you pay the tax to Customs.  That cost gets passed on to you the consumer.   Now remember the cost of the item has gone up,  this means the sales tax you pay will go up too.  So really you are getting double taxed.
Will your things go up 25% if made in China?  The answer is NO!  Most companies will spread the cost increase out amongst all the items they sell.  This won't eliminate the cost increase but it will keep it from looking worse than it is.
If I've lost you at this point feel free to write me and I'll see if I can clarify.

But what about China's tax on US goods?  yes they will have to pay which means they will just buy from someone else as we will buy from other countries.
The joke is on Trump and the pain is on America, many of the companies in other countries are owned by China.   So China will produce more off shore too.  They are very flexible like that.
Example.  I just bought a TV assembled in Mexico from a company in Korea made with Chinese parts.  Still with me?

Why is Trump doing this?  Very simply put it's called Insider Trading.  If you know what the market will be doing before it does it that's called insider trading.  If you manipulate the stock it's called "Stock Manipulation" just another crime for Trump.  So if I cause the price of Soy Beans to drop, then run out and buy stock that's illegal.

Are we good so far?  Bottom line we pay more tax......

Blogging about Blogging

Today I got an email that wanted to tell me about things I should do in order to blog.  Okay so looking for ways to improve my blog I went, and was bombarded with ads for blogging, where to blog, what to write and how to write it.  I learned something very important especially about my blog which is a special blog.  See my blog is not about what you might think, what you might want it to be.  It's about what's on my mind at the moment.  And being tricked into going to blog that just hammers you with popups and other obnoxious forms of advertising well that's what's on my mind.

This blog may never be famous, but it lets me get off what's on my mind and what's left of it.  What you won't find here is advise on how to blog.  If you want to blog then just do it.  Someone will find it interesting,  some will find it annoying, others will just post troll messages trying to pick a fight.  I guess that's what Trolls do.  They live under bridges and poke at you from time to time just being annoying.  #sex,  I stick that in to see how many times my blog will get noticed since I mentioned #sex.  Now that I've got the blogger thing out of my system I guess I can just continue on and write about anything no matter if it's important.

I would however like to write about time travel next, and discuss if we go back in time what would I be doing instead of this?  Imagine if I don't like my story I can just start over.

Again I have no idea where this blog is going but I'm hanging on tight.

Planet insanity

Over the past few months I've been over whelmed by global insanity.  America has lost it's mind the president of the US of hey is causing all sorts of mayhem with his Twitter posts.  Sometimes I wonder if he understands that he's the leader of a country and not the host of a reality TV show.  It's pretty scary to know that man has his finger on the trigger.  My position on this is to build a bunker and hide but to what end.  How long can one live underground and do I even want to see the world again after it's destroyed by a large orange man with a tanning fetish.

Imagine if the world leaders stopped posturing for power and focused on doing their jobs for the people and not for themselves?  Utopia?  I would settle for peace.

It's been a long time since last I posted but I'm feeling the urge to write again.   Soon very soon.

Hello Today

Sorry I haven't written recently I've been busy I'll be back with something profound very soon.

I've been busy

If I posted all the time you would get used to it and expect it.  I've been busy so shoot me.

Are you feeling invisible?

Come the holiday season many people feel invisible.  It's like no one sees you.  You walk into a store and nobody asks if you would like help finding something.  You go to a family gathering and might as well not be there.   Or you just feel that way all the time?
No I'm not going to sell you a bunch of self help books.  I don't have any. 
What I do have is a very small bunch of simple things you can try to become visible.  Let the world notice you. 
Hit the barber shop, beauty salon.  You need to look good to feel good.  Invest a few bucks in your appearance.
Some nice clothes,  no not your favorite T-shirt from a concert you went to with the date that dumped you. It could be a sport shirt get a nice bright color. NO not a navy blue.  How about a nice blue?  Stay away from muted colors or colors that make you look sick and washed out.  Peach is a bad color for white people.  Slacks guys not jeans, black or navy is fine but well pressed.  They should be the proper length and your butt crack and underwear should be covered properly.  I hope those undies are clean. 
Shoes, please not your favorite pair of broken in boat shoes, or your Air Jordan's.  Get a nice pair of casual shoes not clown shoes.   
Socks, don't forget socks.  I suggest new clean socks not the ones you pulled off the pile and sniffed.  Face it your probably nose blind.
Colognes or perfumes, should be light in color so they will be light in scent.  Now spray the air and walk into it. I said spray not a shower.   Something woodsy yes I know you like that over powering vanilla stuff but trust me you want a hint of scent you don't want to gag people.

Good your almost ready for a test drive, but we've got to do something about that posture.
Stop slouching stand up like a boss. Yes I said like a boss.  Enter a room pause don't stick your nose in the air just look around like you are the master/mistress of all that you survey.   Don't spend to much time doing this and don't be cocky about it either.  Remember your in control, just the right amount of confidence to project control.  Now coast into the room,  slide across the floor with control don't bounce on you toes.  Walk with purpose but not urgency.  Greet people with a gentle smile the day is yours and you know it. 

Practice, till you get the response it will come.  You can't rush it. 

You look marvelous and you feel better about yourself already. 

Say hello this holiday season

Take the time to say "Hello", or maybe even "Thank You" to someone this holiday season.  Unplug your earbuds and smile at someone and say hello.  Guys you could actually meet someone.  Just walk up and say "Hello my name is and I just want to wish you a happy holiday" smile when you say it then walk away.  You'd be amazed at how much you just made someone's day.  Sure there will be those that yell "Get away you creep" but say have a "nice day" and move on.  
Hold the door, and if the person doesn't say thank you just say "Your Welcome" don't forget to smile. Don't run around trying to hug people that really is creepy and could end up badly.

Just be nice to everyone this holiday season, it's weird but we need it.
