Mostly to make use of an animation I made for a different blog post that hasn't materialised, let me take a moment to explain to you the fundamental technical difference between 'streaming' and 'downloading'. Which won't take long...
Ideally, ditch that hostile dumpster fire of an operating system by the people helping Israel carry out the genocide of the Palestinian people. If you can’t, at least use Signal.
"During times of demcracry, the private sector is where opression comes from, but during times of authoritarianism, the private sector is where resistance is found."
Not sure where that quote comes from, but it works right now...
A defense of individualism (rational/conceptual self-interest, or rational selfishness) from the standpoint of Jungian analytic psychology (to be added to the more common economic, political, and ethical defenses). --
"[T]he basis of almost all psychological problems is an unsatisfactory relation to one's urge to individuality. And the healing process often involves an acceptance of what is commonly called selfish...The majority of patients in psychotherapy need to learn how to be more effectively selfish and more effective in the use of their own personal power; they need to accept responsibility for the fact of being centers of power and effectiveness. So-called selfish or egocentric behavior which expresses itself in the demands made on others [that is, other *selves*] is not effective conscious self-centeredness or conscious individuality. We demand from others only what we fail to give ourselves. If we have insufficient self-love or self-prestige, our need expresses itself unconsciously by coercive acts toward others. And often the coercion occurs under the guides of virtue, love, or altruism. Such unconscious selfishness [i.e. *irrational* selfishness] is ineffectual and destructive to oneself and others. It fails to achieve its purpose because it is blind, without awareness of itself. What is required is not the extirpation of selfishness, which is impossible but rather that to be wedded to consciousness and thus becomes effective." - Edward F. Edinger, "Ego and Archetype." Shambala Publications, Inc.: Boulder, Colorado. 1972. Page 161. Print. With a handful of very minor quibbles with the way a couple words are used here -- too minor to bother mentioning in this post -- this strikes at the heart of what's wrong with the nearly universally held belief that self-interest is a bad thing, rather than the standard and source of all virtue --
Man's inhumanity to man is not the result of "selfishness." The reason such villanies as rape, murder, slavery, statism, military aggression, socialism, theft, etc, are immoral is *not* that they are self-interested acts but because they *violate* the self-interest of the victims.
Conversely, if I give aid to a man in suffering -- not because I'm forced to do so or shamed and pressured into doing so but out of sincere compassion -- this is does not prove "selflessness" is the basis of virtue, for four identifiably distinct reasons --
(1) I am *promoting* the self-interest of the recipient of my aid -- the promotion of self-interest is still the goal.
(2) Assuming it comes from my own conviction, then it feels *good* to me to do it -- the increase in oxytocin I get from the act is a self-interested act.
(3) Adopting a habit of authentic kindness in the long term is also a good policy to adopt in life, because while every particular act may not yield long-term benefits for me, the habit of doing so *in general* increases the likelihood that I will receive the same over longer periods.
(4) Most importantly, I am *not* self-sacrificing because I'm not giving up something I more for something I value less. I prefer the outcome that the recipient of my aid is better off over the time, energy, money, or whatever, I give up for that outcome.
A major part of the hostility toward self-interest stems from a confusion of terminology (yet another example of why I have recently coined the term "the fallacy of definitional neglect"). In a social, psychological, and ethical context, "the self" is just another name for consciousness or the mind. Voluntarily helping someone in need helps enhance the conscious experience of reality -- the *selves* -- of both myself and the recipient.
Rational self-interest is the basis and end goal of all morality and virtue.

It sounds like those tech companies were anticipating so much easy money obtained by stealing someone else's intellectual work in the name of 'progress'. There's just that little inconvenience that their business model is based on literal criminal activities. We saw what happened with the porn industry and the claim of 'freedom of expression' that quickly led to a surge in violence and criminality. I hope we learnt from our previous mistakes.
to summarise: The UK AI industry must steal everything, because everyone else is stealing everything, and if we don't steal everything, we won't be among the top thieves .......

Wie jede Blüte welkt und jede Jugend Dem Alter weicht, blüht jede Lebensstufe, Blüht jede Weisheit auch und jede Tugend Zu ihrer Zeit und darf nicht ewig dauern. Es muß das Herz bei jedem Lebensrufe Bereit zum Abschied sein und Neubeginne, Um sich in Tapferkeit und ohne Trauern In andre, neue Bindungen zu geben. Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne, Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.
Wir sollen heiter Raum um Raum durchschreiten, An keinem wie an einer Heimat hängen, Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen, Er will uns Stuf‘ um Stufe heben, weiten. Kaum sind wir heimisch einem Lebenskreise Und traulich eingewohnt, so droht Erschlaffen, Nur wer bereit zu Aufbruch ist und Reise, Mag lähmender Gewöhnung sich entraffen.
Es wird vielleicht auch noch die Todesstunde Uns neuen Räumen jung entgegen senden, Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden… Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde! (4. Mai 1941)

Aerosmith's "Janie's Got A Gun" is a powerful rock ballad that addresses serious themes of abuse and revenge. Released in the late 1980s, the song showcases the band's signature sound, combining emotive lyrics with a compelling melody. Its impactful message and memorable chorus have made it a staple in Aerosmith's discography.
Lyrics: Lyric: Dum, dum, dum, honey, what have you done? Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun Dum, dum, dum, honey, what have you done? Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Her whole world's come undone From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do? What did he put you through? They said when Janie was arrested They found him underneath a train But man, he had it comin', now that Janie's got a gun She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue, what did her daddy do? He jacked a little bitty baby, the man has got to be insane They say the spell that he was under the lightning and The thunder knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do? It's Janie's last I.O.U She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain She said, "'Cause nobody believes me, the man was such a sleaze" He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away from the pain, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Janie's got a gun Everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run Because Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun Her dog day's just begun Now everybody is on the run Janie's got a gun

And now we wait. I am doing these ribs a lot differently than I usually grill ribs, I am setting up the grill as a smoker, cooking at around 270F, and not wrapping and saucing them until the final third of the cooking time.
Hopefully this will work well.
The mesquite chips I'm using in the smoke box smell AMAZING by the way. This grill makes for a remarkably good smoker.
Starting to get a really well defined bark on the ribs, the edges are starting to show some of the bone. They've been going for a little over 2 hours now and we're at 147F internally. I think I may have timed this perfectly to be ready for dinner
Ok, 3-ish hours in I have begun the wrap phase. I only had an IPA to use for liquid in the foil so hopefully this will work out. The smoke is way thicker now too, but I'm probably going to start a new bed of chips when I unwrap for the final cooking phase to get some really solid smoke into the sauce
