Love and Death

2002-02-14 John Winkelman

I heard an interesting statistic today: historically, more people die on February 14 than on any other day. Apparently this is a trend which has been going on for some time across the entire world. Maybe, if I feel motivated, I will look up some statistics.

It took a few days, but I have added destructive capabilities to my tank. You can find it here . Once again, arrow keys move the thing, mouse controls aiming and firing. It weighs in at a whopping 4k.

I have not forgotten about my artificial evolution experiments; they have, of necessity, been set aside in favor of learning more about Flash. Work has been taking up a lot of my time, too.

A word about the current sidebar: Is it a construct known as a Magic Square. It reads the same in all four directions. It is an interesting pattern puzzle to come up with other phrases which work as a magic square, while making sense, linguistically and grammatically. Numerical magic squares contain number grids which, when added together in rows or columns, always result in the same number. If I feel motivated I may post a couple in a few days.

I’m just not feeling very motivated right now.

Happy freakin’ Valentines Day.

It was withdrawn after they couldn't successfully add an exemption for wealthy white families.

HA HA!

The Call is Coming from Inside the Nash@Nash076

Yup, figured this would happen.

Musk is now trying to cobble together a consortium of buyers to prevent having to take a loan on his Tesla stock.

So he's not so much buying Twitter as loading Twitter with debt that can't be repaid. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-seeks-scrap-tesla-153641078.html
