    AI invades news writing remember Wuhan Virus is Racist

    Piano Music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church. Late breaking News 06 - 02 - (20-23) A Chinese spokesman admits that the Covid-19 virus “escaped from their lab”. I guess that puts the lid on the coffin “Wuhan Virus is racist.” In a startlingly surprising announcement wind advocates claim to be able to recycle turbine blades There's not a bit of truth in that statement It’s a hoax designed to give them environmental cover!Currently, wind turbine blades are made of wood with a fiberglass cover which is the real culprit. There’s nothing to reclaim except the wooden interior & wooden paddles would have to be re-glassed after a good cleaning so the new coating would adhere.  It was stated a chemical product would be used to dissolve the FRP, but the resulting soup would be a hazardous waste. The glass component of FRP is sand, potash & heat, and coated with a petro’-based resin. None of these ingredients are recoverable—any more than you can make a cow from hamburger.

    There’s bad advice everywhere & if you take your tech advice from News channel four/Nashville - they don’t know beans about iPhone security

    Opening piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church -- closing Banjo HangOut The Very Thought of You, used with permission. I once made a crack that with more than 2/B phones sold no one would steal an iPhone. What the thieves are now after is your “life”. Locking you out of your Apple ID to charge stuff thru Apple/Pay — it’s your identity they steal. The TV commentator suggested replacing your four-digit passcode with a six-digit code.  Yes, that might help, but here’s a better idea. Engage fingerprint ID. Since no two of us have the same fingerprint, it’s much safer than a six-digit passcode. Also, you may choose your thumb or index finger — it’s all the same to your iPhone. It’s unique to iPhone and much safer.

    Labels don't "lie" Copywriters Do

    Opening piano music courtesy of Steinway & Sons - closing courtesy of Banjo HangOut, William Tell Overture -- I omitted one thing from my tome on fuel savings & here it is now. We are moving in the warmer months of the year and it pays to shop for fuel earlier in the day when it’s coolest. Gasoline in its liquid state expands & contracts, it’s stored underground at a constant 55 degrees Fahrenheit it will expand as it’s pumped and in your tank. Use pumps on the shady side of the station, and in hot weather don’t “overfill” your tank.

    Everything I know about writing podcasts, I learned from Steve Woodruff, PodCamp 2014

    This is The PodCast Doctor Video series iii — this video is sponsored by MouseCalls of Bellevue (37-221) — the guys who beat the tech in the truck.. He didn’t mean to do it, of course, he was delivering a presentation of: The Communication Strategies involved in “Branding”, and I happened to be in the room. I am indebted to Steve for making a great presentation, and I am able to re-create his session from “holographic” notes, taken during the session. Join me on Monday Wizard Of iPhone Speaking -- we'll talk grocery shopping in Podt Covid America.

    Take Your Podcast to the next level build anticipation Tease future content — an “un-case” study

    Apple to use only recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025April 13 (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said on Thursday it would use only recycled cobalt in batteries by 2025 as a part of its efforts to make all its products carbon neutral by the end of the decade. THANK YOU Reuters News Service What's taking so long /ed note Bad advice is everywhere — Heard on News Channel Two Nashville — talking about tic removal & here I quote if the tick is embedded — use tweezers, end of quote — Wrong - use a hot match or alcohol or bleach — you want the tick to withdraw — Using tweezers may embed the tick — that makes real problems.

    Twitter Get's It Wrong Again, Tennessee

    To begin I’d like to share the results of a so-called Twitter poll on NewsChannel/17 — Nashville’s (own) CodeRed weather dunces.According to their results, the state of Tennessee looks bad as a result of the recent expulsion of two members. It’s a crock of sh…As we found out in 20-20 Twitter is a sewer (Thank You, Rush Limbaugh). It’s not representative of anything, it’s powered by BOTT postings.  We are living in the age of lowered expectations & a much coarser society, people are just not polite as demonstrated by the images accompanying this video. FYI/To Dave Ramsey -- I was at a Starbucks today -- I watched a customer pay $7.50 for his daily caffeine jolt.

    Unfortunately for US 21st century politics are motivated by revenge more than any other motive

    Music opening piano courtesy of Bellevue Presbyterian -- closing courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian -- A History Lesson from Kim Kommando "Happy Wednesday! What were you doing on this day in 1971? If you were Ray Thomlinson, you sent the first email ever from one computer to another using ARPANET (precursor to the internet). Thank you, Ray!" Thanks for this history lesson -- FYI/the message which was sent was a violation of protocol -- It was a personal message not permitted on the ARPANET established by the Defense Department.
