    If we standardized #EV batteries and installed a "Battery Swap" kiosk at every gas station, EV drivers could get a "fill up" in 90 seconds, gas stations continue to make money as drivers move from gasoline to electric, and states continue to collect "gas" taxes. 🤔

  6. Today I got to #improvise to sort gravel and stones apart. Figured out our garden table had a nicely sized metal grid. Did it work? Yes, but not super fast.

    The answer is simple:

    Standardize #EV batteries, install "Battery Swap" kiosks at every "gas" station, and tax the "refill" the same way you tax gasoline.

  16. Ooopsies! I figured out a similar move in chess. Does that mean I'm #AI? Am I one of those "sleeper Cylons"? Yikes!

    The first glimmer of our AI future revealed itself a decade ago in the form of a single black stone.

    by Ben Cohen, 8/7/2026

    "It happened during a historic match between one of the world’s best Go players and AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Google’s DeepMind lab to conquer this ancient board game. The artificial-intelligence system stunned everyone by winning their opening showdown. In their next encounter, with millions of people watching online all over the world, Lee Sedol took a midgame smoke break to calm his nerves.

    "When he came back, he looked at the 37th move. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

    "Go, like chess, is a strategy game with black and white pieces that unfolds one move at a time. As he stared at the black stone that AlphaGo dropped on the board, Lee saw a move that no professional Go player would have made. In fact, the DeepMind team calculated the chances of a human playing it at one in 10,000.

    "The novel move was so unconventional and counterintuitive that nobody could be sure what to make of it. At first, commentators believed it was a strategic blunder. They soon realized it was a masterstroke.

    " 'This move,' Lee said, 'made me think about Go in a new light.'

    "Ten years after that illuminating Move 37, the entire world is suddenly beginning to feel like one massive Go board."

  21. RE: bovi.social/@daniel/1169883526

    Either way I digress. The CxU has a lot of experience with Zombies as their main voters and Vampires as their main candidate options. So there is a potential synergy here. #thinkOutsideTheBox

  23. A LOT OF TALK THIS MORNING about calls to "reform" #SCotUS.

    Both Rep. Ro Khanna on #FnS and Sen. Corey Booker on #MtP called for "expanding the court" & "term limits" (Khanna went even further, limiting every prez to "2 appointments"… leaving a vacancy to the next prez if they already got their two.) 🤦‍♂️ 😒

    NO NO NO NO.

    There IS a way to reform the court w/o resorting to likely unconstitutional modifications sure to be challenged by the #GOP:

    All the links just have session ID in them. It. Just. Works.

    "The government can tax you for breathing if they want to."

    There are ways to accommodate such practices.

    "Target practice" can be restricted to licensed shooting ranges that provide ammunition for free as part of your paid membership, and all unspent ammunition is turned over before you leave.

    Is it worth one child's life to dismiss a practical solution w/o searching for ways to impliment it? 🤔 #ThinkOutsideTheBox #TaxGunpowder #TaxCordite #Minneapolis #Minnesota
