I got 20 lbs of tomatoes at the farmers market and made and canned some enchilada sauce. Yum!

I’ve recently noticed….. AT&T forced retirements this month. Verizon forced retirements last several months. Apple layoffs last month. Cisco, and BlueCross layoffs this week. Fed lowers rate .50% yesterday. #bitcoin is recovering from a slump and is at $63k (from a recent low of $52k). What’s next? What do you guys think? Soft landing? Depression? More of the same choppy waters and inflation? #economy #financialnews #labormarket #tsp #grownostr

“Great value“ is Walmart’s brand. “C&H” is known as a long-time premium brand. Take a look at the review scores on both products. Who thinks the fox is guarding the henhouse when it comes to product reviews? 😂

I made another batch of dehydrated apple chips because the family ate the entire batch yesterday. I got a nice little process going: Wash Peel and put them in a bowl of water with lemon juice to keep from browning. The core and slice. Put each one back into the water and juice again. When I have a batch, transfer the apple slices to a large bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (brown or white). Place on the dehydrater trays and run it for 14 hours. Dump the juices into the bowl of apple peels and core and make jelly. Nothing goes to waste. It’s easy. You can do it too. #tsp #grownostr #foodpreservation

This thought just popped into my head. We are all taught to have an open and curious mind. But as soon as we reach our junior and senior years of college, the message is flipped. At that point, we are told, “This is the science you must believe.”

Here’s a sick prediction regarding AI. AI will become so realistic that it will be difficult to distinguish what’s real and what’s generated by AI. Politicians will use this as an excuse to require a government-issued ID to get online using biometrics. Your social credit score will restrict your access. The message will be that this is to protect critical systems such as banks and infrastructure from cyber attacks and the general public because things like product reviews, social media posts and news articles should be written by real people. I think there will be a DESIGNED cyber attack that will be the catalyst for this. As soon as we see a large attack, a group of politicians will have a bill ready to submit to require government ID to get online and a private company ready to implement the technology. Here’s a picture of @jackspirko generated by #AI (thesurvivalpodcast.com) that pretty good. It won’t be long and AI will be indistinguishable from reality.

I feel like we are living in “The Upside Down”. Wrong is right and right is wrong. Murderers and rapists are released. Evil is praised. Mental illness is encouraged. Good samaritans are sued - and lose. Definitions are changed. How does this make sense?

What’s the name of the bitcoin-expert-council guy that @Jack Spirko had on #thesurvivalpodcast. He was on sometime earlier this year on a trial basis.

Tip of the day Set up medical ID on the iPhone. I must be the last person on earth to learn about this, but in case I’m not, check this out. The iPhone has a feature called “Medical ID”. If you fill it out on your phone it offers two things: 1. Without unlocking your phone, information to first responders can be accessed if you are unable to speak (allergies, medications, etc). 2. Access to your emergency contact An additional benefit is if you lose your phone, it allows the person who finds your phone to contact your emergency contact(s). 1. Open the health app 2. Click your profile icon in the top right 3. Click “Medical ID” 4. Click “Edit” 5. Fill in “Emergency Contacts” 6. Enable “Show When Locked” 7. Fill in your medical information and click done. Because I am a “trust-but-verify” kind of guy, I did some additional testing myself just to make sure that critical information is not accessible should I lose my phone. My date of birth is not accessible (only my age) My other contacts are not accessible (only my emergency contact, such as my wife). I hope this is never needed but, how did I miss this? #telephony #voice #telecom #voiceservices #voip #leadership #IT #InformationTechnology
