Lord of the Flies
Recent news has been quite sad. For one, the blatant racial murder of Iryna Zarutska. And secondly, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I'll touch on both topics in this post. Read more

Wendy's Nightmare
Blog and Journal Thoughts and Politics
We all hear stories of fast food places, and horrible things that happen with people's food. Well, it finally happened to me. Today I purchased a meal from a local-ish Wendy's because my son said he wanted a wendy's burger. Now, fast food isn't a normal diet for my son, but sometimes as a 'treat' or if we are rushed, it will be allowed. The drive thru line today was long, so my wife went inside to pick out a meal. After almost half an hour, she came back with 2 burgers, a chili, and a kids burger and fries. Read more
America vs Globalism
It really is awe inspiring to examine North America's defensive position and ponder how in the world could a foreign nation ever invade and attack the United States, or even Canada or Mexico for that matter. These three nations, together encompass the worlds best defended trinity of nations. And while indeed, Canada, Mexico and the United States do indeed have their differences - especially lately with trade tariff's being imposed - they are still for all intents and purposes, allies.

Protect the Criminals
I was inspired to write this from a recent experience in my daily activities and duties. Sadly in New York state it seems to be the norm where violent crimes go unpunished. YouTubers like Peter Santenello and Cash Jordan have helpped bring to light various issues in the state at times. However I think the vast majority of people generally do not really understand what happens out there. Even a local District Attourney I spoke with seemed baffled that I needed to wear a body camera for my own protection. I myself have been verbally assaulted, and also have been spit at by irrational and violent minded individuals who were attempting to intimidate me because they knew they could get away with it. And they can. Read more
Democrats Ruining the World
Biden's approval for Ukraine to use US supplied long range missile systems to attack deep into Russian territory was a surprise move to me. Essentially Biden just opened the doors to World War III, as Putin now prepares to defend his own country from attacks by weapons authorized by the US and NATO alliance. This is essentially a declaration of war on Russia, just after Russia has expressed an interest in peace talks with Trump when he comes into office. Read more
Deep Stuff
I'll start out this post by saying that two weeks ago, I had long abandoned any interest in speculative metaphysics or esoteric philosophy. My first encounter with speculative metaphysics regarding an anomalous object, occured around 1990 in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. I detailed the experience in an old post on this blog. I was still a kid then, and didn't really have the capacity to really consider all of the implications or thoughts that occured to me at the time. Read more
Trump's Victory for America
Well I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Somehow the 15,000,000 votes that magically appeared for Biden last time, didn't get the chance to appear this time for Kamala. Trump finally got his second term in office after winning a third election. And boy did he ever win. Just like last election, New York was looking almost completely red, just as in 2020. But this time when I woke up the next day, the map was still mostly red! An 11 point margin for Kamala's win in Democrat heavy NY is stunning to be honest. This is a state where the Democrat's are usually winning by 30+ points. It seems the silent majority has spoken. Those lefties who are outspoken whiney bitches will surely complain, but it seems there were too many eyes on this one for them to attempt to rig it and get away with it again. Read more
Pre 2024 Election Thoughts
Blog and Journal Thoughts and Politics
Much of the year, I have heard people stressing out about the election. Me, I kept my involvement as mostly passive, with a dismal view of how the election would go. I figured there would be election manipulation no matter what, and the deeper powers would get the outcome they desire. To some extent I still believe this, but I am hopeful based on encouraging polls that the country will swing back to a red leader. Read more
AI Comments on The Matrix
AI is indeed a powerful tool, and I have watched it develop over the last few years. In it's beginning, it was obviously silly. But now that it has matured, it's ability to provide reasonable explainations, rationalize and hypothisize, have impressed me. I'll admit to using AI to assist me with my coding. It is often so much easier than trying to search through coding forums, or manuals to try to figure out the correct syntax or standard to use for various pieces of code. It is like having a buddy sitting beside you, who is an expert coder, who can walk you through most things. So long as you understand some basics, AI can help you move forward. It can also frustrate you as well, especially if it gets stuck in a troubleshooting loop, and you aren't providing it with the information it needs to fully understand the problem.
In any case, I decided one day to ask about The Matrix. A great film from 1999, where humanity is unknowingly enslaved by AI, and a group of hackers who have freed themselves, fight to save humanity. I asked AI first, what the 'meanings' are behind the storyline: Read more
Railroad Realizations: Part 1 - Phosphates
Blog and Journal Hobbies Thoughts and Politics
I have been having a lot of fun and doing a great deal of research related to, what is essentially, my virtual model railroad. My RailOps project is pretty much at Alpha testing stage now, and I will happily provide a link for interested parties to apply for an account. My SVNO rail line, runs from Northern Ontario through New York and is headed down the East side of the Mississippi River. Currently the Southern terminus is near Columbus, Ohio.
The current rail network is made up of four rail companies. And it seems that railcars and goods are interchanging betweem them just fine. Currently I have over 300 industries, trading over 400 different products. There are supply chains and for sure a need to link suppliers up with consumers.
As I expand my rail network, and also develop and define the industries to handle realistic material and create a realistic supply chain, I am learning more and more about our world. I will say that I am utterly shocked about just how many different products and chemicals are made from just Natural Gas, Air and Water. It is bewildering. Another thing I stumbled across was this gem below. What kind of mine or operation was this? This is located just along my SVNO mainline coming into Ohio from West of Pittsburgh. At first very little information could be found about it. Read more
