Episode 2: 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.

Episode 22: 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.

Episode 18: 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.
