 Madame Figaro has an odd offering: a review article on 'hard romance', the

current fad among young women who read romance fiction. 

The girls, here, survive abusive partners, and all ends well...

I am somewhat pre-occupied by recurrent articles on how President Joe Biden

is showing his age, and many are arguing he may not be an appropriate candidate

for 2024.

                                                   

Let us review what the notion of life expectancy is: a statistical construct

of health statistics for the year. Should our 80 year old encounter all the conditions

that prevailed in that year for those older than he is, he would live to 87.7.

Thus, not really a prediction but still interesting.

 American elders tend to have an easier time of it than many in other parts of the

world. And one can still benefit from their direct experience of historical events

and government response!!

Two Cents

 Canada’s woke nightmare is a vision of Britain’s future (msn.com)

                                                          *     *     *

To read about it in the UK conservative Telegraph, Canada - under

the Liberals - has embarked on the woke path. And it's all so embarassingly

wrong, wrong... How do I feel about that.

First, we are alone being faced with a number of identity issues. What

I think is actually happening is that population growth is creating powerful 

and visible minorities. The percentage of homosexual and non-conforming

individuals in the population could well be the same as ever, but the numbers

are much greater. And if they want to parade downtown Monreal on a Saturday 

afternoon, the numbers are there to do it. 

Is that a problem I think overall more of a phase. No, June need not be Pride

Month forever; it is actually the nicest month of the year in chilly old Canada, and

all lovers should be able to claim it, get married, whatever. As I said, a phase.

And people should be able to celebrate their love lives without grotesque parodies

of the other side of the fence, from both sides.

Should Jordan Peterson be silenced. His professional order seems to think he

should take it easy. Maybe he should...

Should drugs be widely available. Meth started as cough syrup. Darn good product,

took a lot of it as a kid. The internet is a continous advertising feed, and creates a lot

superlative-laden blah blah. About everything. Everyone needs to become aware of

that, and reclaim their autonomy, as people. Sartre once remarked that language

was talking HIM; that's what is happening to us on a large scale.

The Indigenous population: the one thing they cannot have is a different history

with a different outcome. Here we all are. Some of us  aspiring to live larger; others

looking to live smaller...and going to Mars.

Voilà; my two-cents' worth.

 Been playing with Audacity. And doing some violence to Florian

Haack's Plok in the process, I know. Slowed it down and brouhgt out

the higher pitch sounds. 

Not studio perfect; one is working from a recording already mixed...

To disengage, to two monos.

Select one, with the Select command. This one will be altered.

                                                                             

To one's taste...

Select both tracks with Ctrl, go to tracks to mix.

Export.

Tritium

How much tritium in seawater is still safe. That would seem to be

the issue between Japan and China as the former releases Fukushima

waters into the ocean.

Tritium is formed naturally in the atmosphere, but in minute amounts. 

And - measured twenty years ago - natural levels in oceans remained higher 

in the Northern atmosphere from bomb testing in the 1950s and 60s.

The normal from that time is the TU.

Reviewing the notions of set and subset: a set is a collection of similar objects

with no doubles.

A sub-set is just some of these objects.

Sub-sets need not add to the full set, and can re-use elements.

A set might be all the spice bottles in one's kitchen, no doubles. A sub-set

could be the three, 'oregano, 'garlic salt', 'onion salt', that will be used for a pizza...
