Leibniz Clockwork

I want to be Skeletor jacked.

Aim a phone camera at a mountain, and from GPS/triangulation it tells you what mountain that is.

The best way to learn whatever is to do it. Certain things are probably unwise to attempt in this fashion: piloting and mountaineering spring to mind. Drawing and writing can’t really hurt you if you do them poorly, though, so party on and draw and write away.

Has passed on, age 81. My favorite song of his was ‘Ain’t No Sunshine.’

Nothing else. I just liked the music.

I really like Rufus.

I’ve been flirting with an idea for a little bit, and I’m going to put it into practice. There will be no complaining on LC.

What brought this on was yesterday’s comment about the stimulus checks. To be clear, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with disagreeing with the checks from an economic standpoint. Both Bush stimuli and the later Obama one did little to support the economy. Debts got paid off, but there wasn’t much of a bump in employment or wage gains. I personally don’t think they’re a wise choice.

But I’m not mad about it. People are.

I was put off by that attitude, and I don’t know how much of it I’m doing too. It’s invisible to me when I’m doing it. So I’m going to draw a line in the sand, no complaining, for a month and see if I can make the habit stick. I’m not saying forever because those goals are often unreachable. But if I can do a month, April, I’ll see about pushing out another month.

I live in Denver, CO (USA). The federal govt. just passed a stimulus that is sending many adults a stimulus check for $1200.

People are mad about this.

That’s why I’m not in politics.

The goblin uprising is upon us.

You can tell a lot about the biases of news media by watching who they spotlight. Compare the WSJ and Bloomberg. The WSJ, rightwing, did a big thing on Wines, Republican governor of Ohio and his coronavirus response. Bloomberg, leftwing, did one on Cuomo, Democratic governor of New York. Both have comparable successes in their response.

I’ve reinstalled Matlab.
