Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

VP JD Vance says the conflict between India and Pakistan is "none of our business" and the US will stay out of it but instead use diplomacy to try to help de-escalate the situation. Meanwhile I haven't commented on the situation not because its not my business but because I don't have an informed position or opinion to offer... RIP former Supreme Court justice David Souter who died peacefully in his sleep at home in New Hampshire. He was 85... Science and free speech go hand in hand. One of the main reason we were always near the top in innovation. Let’s not lose that... Ukraine's Parliament unanimously signed President's Trump's mineral deal into law. Another step to a negotiated peace to end the war is accomplished... Confession: while traveling to and in Louisville for the Kentucky Derby I did not open my book once. And I don't feel bad about it at all... Our problem is that we had a sick-care system not a healthcare system. Hopefully MAHA changes that... Just saying but if a crypto coin lost as much value as our dollar has lost since we went off the gold standard - we'd probably be calling that crypto a scam coin... Excellent advice... Think if people were aware that Air Traffic control equipment still relied on computers with floppy disk drives they'd be much more upset about that than needing Real ID's (though they should be upset at both)... JD Vance has a great sense of humor... Elon Musk used the term "Kardashev scale" in relation to solar energy but I misread it as "Kardashian scale" which is a term I coined to describe my interest in them (smaller than the Planck scale even)... I'm a fan of FBI Director Kash Patel... Just saying but fencer Stephanie Turner might now make more from giving speeches for her brave stance than she ever could have made from NIL...
