It's gonna make you hard to want to do anything this afternoon, so the chicken coop's probably out till tomorrow. I did start the chicken coop this morning, like I said, I was gonna work on it throughout the night. Uh, no, I started, I've been working on it, but I've worked some more on it. However, I got it, I got all the tools uncovered, uh, you know, I keep a top of them out there, so it's, it's just about the four weeks or so. Um, anyhow, I got everything uncovered, made a couple of cuts, got a couple of studs put in, and it started to rain. And it's been really raining pretty much, also not in ever since. So that's, that's nice. Uh, the rain this time of the year, at any time of the day, uh, is really a blessing. Uh, so, uh, yeah, gotta stay inside hot and humid is not my friend. Uh, great nap today. Great, I thought the questions were on point. Uh, food, I like food, so we can talk about food at any time. Uh, with that, I do hope you all have a great Monday. Uh, and if it's a hard Monday, just remember, it will come to an end, and tomorrow we'll, uh, bring a new day. With that, KJ5-IOQ sends it back to neck control. 70 degrees. How about you, KZ? You graded my last get through. Yeah, um, wait a second, KJ5-IOQ, this is KC2PKG, uh, thanks for joining us this morning, Josh, we hope to hear you more throughout the week. Uh, Del, yes, most of yours got in and just cut out at the very end. Wished it's all 73s and then it went silent. Um, do you want, do you have other things to say? Take your chance right now. Uh, no, that's probably it, man, just wish Josh a happy birthday there toward the end, and, uh, told everyone to stick around for the worldwide friendship net. As long as you got all of that stuff, my transmission pretty much got through. Uh, VL1-UKZ, have a great day. Alright, VL1-UKZ, this is KC2PKG talking to you again tomorrow. Um, Ron, AA4-HO, it's the 73 round, do you have any final thoughts for us? Over to you, Ron, AA4-HO, this is KC2PKG. Yeah, I agree that, uh, what I've repaired or restored, that was, uh, an interesting question, because that's basically, uh, one of the strengths I have and what I like to do. And I, I have some stuff here, I gotta put a little tiny, uh, RC motor in to get that working again. But it doesn't do what, uh, the others to buy a brand new one do. It does, uh, cause I looked, even though I only pay for it with the price of this motor going in. But it's kind of a laser light and it shoots a star burst out of five little stars and then it comes back to the star and then it re- does the cycle. Uh, but none of the other newer ones do that. They'll just, uh, flicker a little. So, uh, maybe it's worth, you know, spending the extra money. I already had it apart and I know, uh, I could have it, uh, working the way it did when it was due. So I'm looking at that, uh, on, uh, uh, like real soon. I might order the parts today. It'll come, it'll be here in a couple of days. And I do like the wealth and I enjoyed sharing all of the, uh, different ways that I make it. Uh, explaining what common sense means. That, you're right, it could be used as an insult grade. So I tried to be a little careful there. Uh, though, uh, people, you know, tend to get, uh, you know, real sensitive. But I think I bled out that, um, in order to have common sense, you know, you really do need to know the material. Uh, that, uh, you're gonna make a decision with if you're gonna, uh, make the right choice or the right decision when you're doing something. And it's not good always to just rely on common sense. And, uh, we had fun with that game too today. So, uh, all around it was a great next up with a lot of different activities. I look forward to seeing everybody tomorrow. Great. You have a nice day. This is Ron AA-4-HO near Muff, Florida back to you, net control. Ron, you have a great day too. This is KC-2-PKG and that was AA-4-HO. And now we're gonna go to Chuck, AA-4-HI. Like share, explanation or lie on common sense. That was good. Um, any final thoughts? 73 round Chuck, take it away. Hey, Clay. Enjoy it. And, um, yeah. That's true. I guess, uh, sometimes people use that remark to tear down other people instead of working on themselves, you know. Uh, if we do something all the time, we're good at that thing, aren't we? But, uh, some people really are good at almost everything they do. They can figure things out. And, uh, those are amazing people. Well, you enjoyed the net. Nice to be in here again. And, um, hope you have a great day, everybody else. And, um, enjoy the cold weather while it lasts down here. And it loves humidity. Uh, 73 AA-4-HI. AA-4-HI. We're gonna have a nice, uh, a nicer, cooler, drier, uh, week this week. We've had quite a while. So, I'm looking forward to that as we get started here. Gary, MM-0-RKN. Um, I also like your, your, uh, mom's comment about common sense in the milk in the refrigerator. That was interesting. Uh, it's a 73 round. Do you have any final thoughts for us, Gary? MM-0-RKN. Yeah, Gary, it was my grandmother. In said, what, she's no longer with us? But, um, two of your questions, the Meatworlf one and the Coronavirus M1. Made me think back to those days when I used to have her every day just after school and, uh, they were happy to. But, um, she was just from the hip. I should tell you how it was, you know there was no, you know, coating it in ice or anything like that. She used to tell it as it was, so there we go. And yeah, I really enjoyed the net today as well. They're great, it's been great and blessing everybody's answers too. And I look forward to hearing again next week in exchange, even though politics questions. Anyway, have a good day everyone, 73 and hopefully catch you all again tomorrow. M-M-0-R-K-N, Black Connect Control, oh and happy birthday Josh! ...perceptions of foods and kinds of food and I think that is very central to being human I believe.

I heard AA-4-H-O, that'd be one, that'd be Florida. The NUTI, Georgia, KC-2, PKG, that'd be Gray up in Maine. They're going to run our KN-4, L-V-F, and that's D-N-D. I'm doing this off memory, so I'm trying to remember, I think you're in Florida. I could be wrong. Anyone AI who's in and out, thank you for checking in this morning. And WZO-G-L, Alan, who's also in and out, thank you for checking in this morning. So, yeah, I figured we'd get started, and I'm going to use this first program as a recap for everybody who's waking up to get on the net. That'll give Larrin, Gray, and Dee a chance to tell me about their morning so far and what they have planned for the day. This and that, I've been doing a lot of thinking about, and I think it's going to change over the next few months as I start implementing new things. We'll talk more about that as we go. But it is a beautiful Friday morning, so no sort of Mondays or Fridays. You made it to Friday so you can get back, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy the weekend. So with that, we're going to move to AA-4-H-O, and let's hear what Larrin has to tell us this morning. Good morning. Yeah, good morning, Josh. Good morning to everybody participating in the call upon getting on the G-drop. Yeah, I got a big dinner tomorrow. Thank God it's Friday. Looking forward to this weekend and that big dinner tomorrow night. I got a pipe, and it was actually too small for it to work. Well, it wasn't really, you know, the size didn't matter, forgive the pun. It was the connector. It didn't fit in there, and it's a stepper motor. And the stepper motor I got had four wires, and the plug was five. So I reordered it, and this morning I'm going to get that, and I think that's going to solve the problem to fix this device. I'm trying to get working again. Pretty much I was on for an hour this morning with Dan and Columbia, and I talked for about an hour. I'm going to keep this short, give other people a chance to talk more. If you weren't able to catch the conversation with Dan this morning, we covered several really neat topics in the pre-med. It was interesting. I think you missed out if you did. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 64, Quebec November. Gold star note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. AA-4-8-0, KJ-5, IOQ. Well, you were coming in pretty choppy there at the end. I don't know if it was just me, or if it was everybody. I'll pause and let Gray or somebody else chime in to make sure it wasn't just me. But you were pretty choppy, and I didn't catch the end of that. I don't know if it was me or D, because I know you two are on the net. Did y'all hear the same thing? Yeah, I heard him cutting out from time to time, especially towards the end. Thank you very much, Gray. So there's our confirmation run. So it isn't just me. So no big deal. I could make out most of what you were saying. It was just popping out of the way, kind of like me just hitting the C-T button. So I thought that might let you know, and maybe you could work on that between now and next door. With that, I'm going to send it over to AA. I'm sorry, I'm going to send it over to KC-2-PKG. And let Gray tell us about his beautiful morning, I'm sure, up in Maine. The mic is yours, sir. AJ-5-IRQ, this is KC-2-PKG. Good morning. I'm wishing you well on your first Friday. First of many, I hope. It is a very pretty morning here. It's a little warmer than I like. It's going up to 78 degrees. But other than that, it's going to be clear and sunny. The only fly in the ointment is that we are only four in right now. Only four cats in. One stayed out. Lizzie stayed out all night and has not shown up for breakfast yet this morning. So not time to worry yet. I mean, she's been gone as long as four and five days. But we like to have them in. We did not get them all in last night. So that is a big problem. Anyway, I will pass it back to you, PG-5-IRQ. This is KC-2-PKG. Well, my wife and I both said, oh no, we hope the end of the cat comes in. I'm sure it will. You have mentioned before though that the main words, eat the cats. I think that was your wording. So that's concerning. But it's our honor to have a few cats over ourselves. We have a pair of white cats. Charlie and Alfred is what they ended up getting called. In fact, I need to snatch them up and get them down to the vet and get them snipped. They are right up to that age for that now. But they are the neighborhood Bruiser Brothers. They tend to stay together and they pretty much run the neighborhood now. So you know, these young teenage cats, about the only cat they don't necessarily know is our old cat, Knox. We've had that cat for many, many years. He is a big old cat. I don't think there's a cat in town that will miss that old fella. But anyhow, I really hope the cat is tired. Thanks for joining us this morning. It sounds a bit warm up there for you. I'll figure it out right here shortly. With that, we're going to go over to KN4LDF. We're going to give Dee a chance at the mic. Good morning, Josh. This is KN4LDF. This is Dee. I, of course, every day wake up and I'm grateful that I was allowed to wake up. It's beautiful outside. I'm going to tell you a story about my cat. I had a cat and I first named him Puss in Boots. He wouldn't answer to it. So I went and called him Pussy. He answered to that. So one time he ran out the house and I went screaming his name all over the place. And everybody in the neighborhood, it's a small town, came out the door to see why I'm screaming Pussy. So it's a funny story, but it is the dark gone truth. I named him. He was registered as Pussy. And when I went to the doctor, they went in. When they called me in, they say, OK, we're here for Pussy. So, hey, that's a funny story. But he lives to be 14 years. So back to you, Josh. KN4LDF. KN4LDF? I might get a little speechless at the moment. That's unheard of. That word you can get away with saying on ham radio without getting in trouble in a proper context. I wonder if I can work out some of my other colorful words. Probably not. But that is a hilarious story. Thank you for sharing that this morning. So, man, I'll tell you what. Getting going this morning is rough on me. I guess I need to put my thoughts together, which is OK. How much better is it I said? But I ate a few things I thought I probably shouldn't have. Not with my digestive stomach issues that kill me. Anyhow, I had some dog talk last night. I probably ate a few pieces too many. I don't eat it often, so when I do eat it, I eat it well. They're not herky nuggets. I don't want to go buy those. But they're just perfect little mouth-sized bites of perfectly sweet dark chocolate. I don't care if I let milk chocolate or some of the other stuff they got. Just a plain, solid milk chocolate. Man, I don't know if I'm talking about dark chocolate. It tastes so good. It's cheap chocolate. Herky's is not extravagantly rich chocolate. But, man, it's the spot maneuver you're in the mood for. Anyhow, the chocolate doesn't work well with my acid reflux and all that other stuff I'm dealing with. So, what I've learned is when I do that to myself, it doesn't just make my belly feel bad the next morning. It really makes you foggy. It's funny. I'm learning that when my stomach is in great shape, my brain is in great shape. That's why I'm not interested. I thought I'd share that. Alright, we've come to the bottom of the first grow out. We're going to do another round of check-ins before we actually get going. One of the things I think I'm going to do is bring that. It's been the first 15, 30 minutes just getting check-ins. See, everybody's doing their thing. Grady kind of does something similar. And then we'll kind of get started right around the 7 o'clock hour. I feel like we'll have more of a good lineup of people who want to talk. And today's topic is all about the cow bungenet. So, to let you know in advance before we get going, and nobody needs to answer it yet. And I meant to post this and I just don't have a habit down yet. So, I have hard ends when I post something early. But really, the question of the day is this. What brings you to the cow bungenet? Let me hear why you come to this net every morning. We'll come here a couple of times over the EECO just once a month. Here we go, I would like to know what brings you here. What are you enjoying? What are you not enjoying? We're going to do some follow-ups with that."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-11T05:39:51+00:00","id":16078,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":16077,"text":" I think he is gone, but he may be back. So we'll start with Darrell. OK, Darrell, there it goes. Your question is, Democratic lawmakers in Texas left the state to prevent the legislature from taking a vote on what? Was it a bill defunding public libraries, a bill outlawing medical marijuana, looser gun laws, a ban on transgender athletes in girls' sports, or a new congressional map? Over to you, Darrell. Definitely the new congressional map, man. They want to rezone everything, so they basically get five extra seats. Nice. Nice, that's exactly right. The new congressional map. All right, we'll move right along here. And this is going to George. President Trump fired Erica McIntarper. McIntarper? Yeah. Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after her agency released a jobs report, what did he say was his reason? Did he say she accidentally sent the report to King Jong-un? She said, or he said, she didn't wear a MAGA hat at the news conference. He said she failed to get White House approval first. He said she refused to delay the release of the report. And he said, or did he say she reaped the data? This is going to you, George. No, that was rigged data, constantly, he claimed. And there happened to be no six people at any time. And now, did you hear on Friday, last Friday, he got this report from, I forgot the organization, but the guy that was giving it was out of the black. From what I understand, standing in danger, much, much better than we thought they were. You know, that kind of thing. Hey, Al, that's my answer. It's a silly orange man. All right, we'll break in there, that's OK. And if you stick around and check in, if you like. Yeah, he said she reaped the data. OK, number three, here we go. This is for Josh. Law enforcement officers spent the week searching a rugged forest for a man suspected of killing four people in a bar in which state? Was it Montana? Was it New Jersey? Was it Oregon? Was it Texas? Or was it Virginia? Over to you, Josh. KJ, 5-I-O-Q, returning. That was Montana, by the way. I should tell you, just on a suspected view from Texas about the lawmakers, the Democratic ones that left, depending on where you're at in Texas, and most of Texas, are ready to see them thrown out of office. That's not because of what's standing up for, and not because, you know, that they don't want to be there. It's because they're not doing the job, what they were elected for. And there's actually mechanisms in place to kick them out. So I'm interested to see how that works. I would call for the same thing if it was Republicans that are in that tower. If you're elected to vote, and you get called into a session, go to the dang session and flesh it out. But if you lose, you lose. That's politics. I decided to give you all Texas view on that. It doesn't matter to me if it's Republican or Democrat. That's good to know. It's good enough. I can't skip out of work. Neither can y'all if you didn't agree with something. So what makes it OK for them? Ask the nine people in the world, I tell you. All right, back to you. KJ, 5-I-R-Q, this is KJ, 2-P-P-G. Montana is the correct answer. All right, we move on to AA4-HO. And health secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., this week canceled $500 million in contracts and grants to research which medical technology? Was it CRISPR? Was it dialysis? Was it mRNA vaccines? Was it prosthetics or telemedicine? Which one do you say, Ron? This is KC, 2-P-H-E. Over to you. All right, let's see. I think it was the mRNA vaccinations. Believe it, I'm not sure. But that's my best guess. What seems to be the big thing going on right now is jury-mandering. That's something that legislatures, the legislators should do. And the legislators in Texas are exercising, I guess, their right to civil disobedience. So it's doubtful any serious consequences over it. But the Democrats have always exercised that to the point where they couldn't get any more legislative seats in the House of Representatives because they've already taken it as far as it will. Yeah, I'm going to go with RNA as the answer, Craig. You are absolutely correct. You guys are killing this thing. This is great. This is great. I'm very impressed. All right, Steve, N0BF, I got a question for you. Apple's executive announced that the company would invest $100 billion in the US after he presented Trump a 24-karat gold gift. What's the chief executive's name? Is it Tim Apple? Is it Ted Baker? Is it Tim Cook? Is it TJ Red? Or is it Tom Wright? Over to you, N0BF.

You know, great Mike, thank you Russell. The limitations of my generator has always been, you know, a thorn in my side to say. Now my neighbor, they hooked up in our real professional one and there's a lady down the block that has one. It's hooked to the LP system, gas system. But they only have local tanks and they could run out too if it's overly used. I used to have the meter on the side of my house, but I didn't have any really gas appliances. And it stayed there for so many years that Canon took the meter away. And whether you use it or not, there's still a minimum monthly charge. And at the time, back then, I was only using a gas generator. And I didn't get a really big one. It's enough to run a refrigerator. So what I would have to do, like when a power was down for an extended period of time, like weeks, I would run the refrigerator just on the generator for a couple of hours to bring the temperature down for the food that was in there and make some ice. And then I would take it off of that and then use it for the lights and, you know, some luxuries like the TV and stuff. And what I didn't have a problem with, that you might be surprised, is hot water. I have the attachment to go from my 110 generator to a 220 water heater. Of course, it would take twice as long to heat the water. But in Florida, the hot water stayed so hot. And I have an extra large tank, so it would go almost two weeks if you were conservative using the hot water. So there was always plenty of hot water, and I never used the attachment to run the generator. And the reason why I kept the generator small is so I don't use as much fuel. You know, so I got, and then I got the batteries too. So while I'm using the generator, the batteries can be charging up from the solar panel. And then I can go back on the batteries and stay powered. I'm only good for two weeks though. You know, I would have to spend thousands more like the neighbor did. Because since the neighbor has it, you know, and I know the guy really well, you know, maybe I could get 110 over there and give him a couple of bucks for it because I don't... Is that like... Yeah. I feel one of the main needs too, you wouldn't think it would go out that it has before, but I have one of the means that comes through here that's directly connected to Turkey Point power plant, nuclear power plant. Trees still fall on them and even though they're all concrete poles, you know, the tree lays across the height. Power line on the very top, it's going to pop, you know, the circuit breakers. And then, you know, the power company, you know, they're not going to get out there right away, right after a hurricane. So, you know, I'm on emergency power and so that until then, but I wouldn't think it would go more than two weeks. You know, I got to stay within budget year two. 84-H-O on near Montmoren and open to rush, only net control. KJ5, I-O-Q, return. I want to go ahead and see Deputy Police for the day.

You know, our summer, the summer in the area I'm in, lasts almost all the way through September. And some of the hottest days of the year oftentimes we experience that because it's just, you know, not over. The water from the whole summer, the ocean, you know, supposed to temper the land, it's still very warm so it's actually at that time of the year it's still keeping everything hot, especially if the air is coming from over the east coast. How did I get off on that? Well, it'll be hot to go out and do a lot of stuff for Labor Day. But I'm sure there'll be some barbecues. I've been getting out once a week to a couple of different lodges and I'll take that as it comes. I'm only just up to what I'm doing this Saturday because it almost looked like it was going to be an open week. But there's pork chop dinner Saturday night that I normally wouldn't have attended that unless it was, you know, they were serving something better than that. But since it's kind of like an open week, I'm going to go ahead and do that. Because the following week, which I think might be Labor Day weekend, that's the big barbecue in Tamarack. So that's what I'll be doing. AA-4HO, run Miramar, Florida, back to Josh in net control. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. AA-4HO, KJ5, IOQ. Man, that sounds like pretty good plans. I'll be honest with you. Yeah, it's going to, like I said, meteorologically you and I are not past summer at all. At least you've got a good month and a half, two months to go, I bet you. However, Labor Day is coming and, you know, traditionally that's the end of summer. So those are good plans, I think. You know, I went to the Elks up in upstate New York where my wife's from. Her family were real big into the Elks Club. It's right after I got out of the military. I never joined it or anything, but it was pretty cool to see how that operated. I guess we have stuff like that down here in Texas to an extent, but not here, not rather that. I mean, there's no Elks Club or I forget all the rest of the names. There's other ones, too. We do have a few, like, things like Nat's Pitius. I'm not sure what that is, but we have that.

But we'll come back to that next round. You really do have fascinating stories and the way you tell them is this, you're a great storyteller and so you already know this I'm sure but as I am really good at what I do, I like to be told that I'm good at it and you are really good at what you do. I like to tell people what they're good at. Gray, thank you man. We'll come back to you next round. And yeah, I want to know more about your stories, your adventures. They're just, they seem fine. They really do. All right, well that's going to move us to reading three FBX. Bentley, the mic is yours. I'm going to repeat the questions. We were talking about Mars, briefly, and if it was colonized, who would govern it? I'm kind of in agreement with Gray. Real quick, I'll go ahead and give a brief thought of what I think. Yeah, I think it's going to be corporate. It's going to be a joint venture between corporate and government. Probably China, United States, probably the other two countries that could do it. Anyhow, it would be a joint venture and you're right. I think for the first 50 to 100 years, it would be joint Iran from Earth managed and communicated. But humanity don't do well whenever they're drifted off like that. Look at our countries here on the same Earth. I mean, shoot, we all share the same round marble in space and we can't get along on it. What makes you think we're going to get along on two separate planetary bodies? But I do think that in 30, you know, 50 to 100 years after that, there would be some kind of a war because that's what humanity is good at. And yeah, it's just, I don't think it would end well. Anything we touch tends to weather and die when it comes to nature and things like that. So I don't have high hopes for it. Although it is really cool being a star track fanatic, I would love to experience it. So yeah, if humanity was colonized, if we were able to colonize Mars, who should run it? That's kind of the question. So the mic is yours, KJ5IOQ. This is VE3FBX. Thanks. I don't think we should, not until we get our act together down here. I don't think we have any rights or should be running out anywhere else. You know, like you said, we tend to wreck everything we touch. I think until we get our crap together here and can get along and keep things running properly, I don't think we should be moving out anywhere. If we do, I could definitely see it being corporate. I don't know some of the corporations the way they are now and the people trying. I don't think government would be involved. And I think that might make it even a little worse.

No, this weekend is supposed to be pretty nice. This ain't low 80s. It's going to be humid. Today is supposed to be like 83. Tomorrow is 84. And if Kylie would get out of the way on my TV, I would tell you what Monday is. Kylie is our Fox 4 weather girl. I watch weather because of her. Anyhow, she never did move, so that's okay. Anyhow, it's going to be in the 80s, so I am finishing up, trying to finish up this damned chicken coop. You know the one I've been talking about forever it seems like? Yeah, in Texas, I don't do crap in the summertime. It's too hot. But once it gets below 85 degrees, I like to get outside. So, we worked on it quite a bit yesterday. Got a lot done. I need to paint, but it's misty out here because it's humid. Very humid. 97% humid, I think is what they said, humidity. Anyhow, I don't think painting is getting done, at least not in the morning. So, I'll have to figure out what the next game plan is. I want to stretch chicken wire around it. I made it easier myself. It cost me an arm and a leg. But I got, oh gosh, what is it? 60 inches tall chicken wire. Instead of the two or three foot sections. So, that will make it easier and stable. And we were going to spray paint it all black. Apparently, when you paint like wire mesh or chicken wire, and when you paint it black, it becomes translucent. You know, sort of. And so, that's kind of what we're thinking about doing, but I'm kind of done with this project. I don't think I'm going to spray paint it. So, anyhow, no, I'm not cooking anything special that I know of. I'm still staying on my weight loss journey, lifestyle change, whatever people call it. Got down to 199 the other day. So, I finally got below 200. It was actually 199.8 pounds, and I'll take it. I am not below 200 pounds this morning. And we won't see how many pounds I've gained back in the last few days because I've kind of took a detour and had a sweet tooth and ate some stuff I shouldn't have. So, anyhow, I'm getting back on track today. Bland food, prison rations. Yep, yep, that's my plan. Good way to lose weight. I'd like to get down to about 185. And I started, I thought I started in the 120s, I mean the 220s, but my doctor reminded me when I went to my last appointment. I was 233. So, that's a fair amount of weight to lose, I guess, in six or eight months. All right, well that's probably all that's going on here this morning. Kylie's still on TV, so I'm still watching the news. With that, KJ5 IRQ, back to neck control."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-24T06:39:10+00:00","id":23279,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":23278,"text":" Yeah, I got a few more like that. I have with Dale because I know I want to send him. And I thought about you, but I wasn't 100% sure if you were into the same stuff Dale has sent through. I only know Dale because he sends me crap all the time. Just like you do. Because his are on a different level than yours. But I got a few more fun things like that that I've been playing with. Like I said, the only reason why I'm making music, making videos, or making images at all is because I'm looking on prompting. I'm learning how to prompt in different styles. And using those three mediums like images, music, or videos, you get an almost instant feedback of what you made changes on that prompt about. Let's say you make a prompt that says, create me a black cat. Well, it will create an image of a black cat. Okay, so the next prompt, make me a black cat with green eyes. Well, then when you run that, you instantly get to see what adding green eyes to the prompt does to the image. And you can do that over and over and over until you refine an image the way that you want it to be. Again, I consider it all skill building. I think everybody should understand the basics of prompting these days because at least for the next few years, that seems like how a lot of the public facing AI stuff is going to operate. But yeah, that's why I did that. I actually have a few more, Bill. I'll send them to you. I made, I dare off his sleeping ass. Hadn't taken me back yet, but I made him a special one I'll send to you. It's all about New Foundman. I actually did a real quick history search on New Foundman, and then I took what I found and I turned it into a song. Just, I don't know why. It's because I was bored yesterday. Anyway, I'll send that to you too. It's also not PG, so that's why I'm going to put him on Facebook or Discord.

Oh, I'll tell you what, this world is a mess, isn't it? No matter how you look at it. When you look at it from one perspective or the other, or somewhere in between, it's just a mess. But, at least we are out here discussing it, and not yelling at each other, and, you know, doing worse things. You know, that is something we should all be proud of, I think. I think. I did hear, Gray brought it up in a message, and I looked it up, that the parent company, or the one who started this with Jimmy Kimmel, not the FCC, Nextar, they're the ones who actually decided, hey, we're not going to carry a show anymore, we're going out with a letter. Now, it may have been because they are scared of the FCC, which they should be, considering they're getting ready to do a $6 billion merger with another company, and the FCC has to sign off on it. I thought that was odd. I did not know that. So, that adds just another little twist in the case there. Again, from my perspective, I just think it's hilarious that, you know, for years, it seemed like the rat was getting cancelled, and then all of a sudden, somebody flipped the switch, and now it's the left getting cancelled. From my perspective, that's hilarious. It's like they stole their playbook. And, of course, I think they're both different, cheeks on the same ass. I think they both are retarded, and don't have this country's, and we the people's, best interests at heart. I think the left and the right parties, both parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, I'll be clear, I think they both have the same angle. That's power. And however they got to get there, they're going to. And the best way to do that is to divide. And that's what they're doing. They're doing a really good job of it, by the way. I don't know if you all have noticed that, but I think they are doing a very good job of dividing us. Because if you don't think Hakeem Jeffries and Jim Jordan, one's a big Democrat, one's a big Republican, if you don't think they get together every so often and play cards and laugh at us, I think you're fooling yourself. I think, I think that's what they do. And here we are, still discussing all the things that they're both doing to all of us. Just make one think. I'll send it back. It is interesting to see how the American people get played, both sides. I mean, it doesn't matter what you really believe in, you still get played every day. With that, I'm sending it back.

I think the entire purpose of keeping tick-tock is to continue the government's propaganda machine. No matter which side. I mean both sides use social media as a propaganda tool. Which really is what both political positions are expressed. I'm trying to say this tactfully. I think the biggest reason why we kept tick-tock is because that's where most of the young people are these days. I don't know much about tick-tock at all. I have it. Sometimes I'll get on there and usually it's because my kids or my wife have sent me something to look on there. Or I think $20 or something. There's a couple of y'all are starting to do that now too. But I don't get on there and look for my news or anything. Mainly because it's just not my style. But it is. I mean it is a juggernaut when it comes to social media. Right? Especially with the younger folks. So it behooves this country, no matter who's in power, to have some semblance of control over that. I did read a little bit about it yesterday. I know that there are, I just remembered, seven seats on the board. Babe or is it nine seats? Seven seats on the board. And six of those are going to be filled with Americans. However that looks, I don't know the particulars. I know that Oracle's involved, which can be a very worrisome thing. Oracle is, or if you don't know who Oracle is, you should look them up. They're like the DuPont of software. The software I run, NetSuite, is actually owned by Oracle. So I know a great deal about them. Another thing that's bad, it can be, depending on how Oracle takes it, how much controlling interest, or who has the controlling interest actually. So I don't know. A good thing? Yeah possibly. A bad thing? Yeah possibly. I mean we've already seen that the government can't control itself on trying to subjugate free speech. We've just seen that with Jimmy Kimmel. And I think we'll see more of that, which I'm completely against. Whether I like the person or not, whether they're Democrat, Republican, Socialist, Communist, whatever they are, they have the right to free speech. As long as it's not one of the four big things that we talked about in my net. We can't incite violence, and we can't direct threaten people.

You know, I'm not a big fan of the Trumpster. However, he is the president and I want the best for my country, so I'm going to support him the best I can. That doesn't mean I agree with his speech.
