Space Is Not For Rent; Perhaps Black Hole Available, Like One Pictured In WaPo

Hairy has not checked the content of comments. The blog entry on 2/11/15 was commented upon. His automatics have not performed as planned.

General content of comment seems to be about vacation rental space. This is NOT the space being referred to in the blog entry, and so the response is:

IRRELEVANT

Thank you.

Can Muffet's Aim Be Improved?

Hairy belatedly entered hibernation in an undisclosed location inside the Arctic circle. He did not respond to a reminder to blog. medbot reported three nutrients insufficient for optimum health within his system, prescribed limited anaerobic activity and rest and double rations.

Today's concern is procrastination. Anyone who has observed an assembly line is aware of what happens when a single station does not make production. Hairy's goal, blogging, was to encourage thought in the human race. Therefore, to maintain this station's production goal:

Please define tuffet.
Please define integer relation of cognitive dissonance in ratio to learning in an ideal human community, rounding down to allow for transient and criminal and negligent elements.
The number of overused tuffets should approximately equal the number of negligent elements.
When Hairy returns, he will address the question of which arachnids are best suited to the appointed tasks.

Effect Does Not Translate Directly From Equation To Reality

 Ev <>Er

Hairy and Herr D have both approved of nakedvillainy.com, though for different reasons. Herr D enjoyed the 'practical, however conservative, centrist enough to be sane' views and said that blogger presenting occasional fiction was 'fun.' Hairy said he didn't understand the humor and didn't like the lack of supporting math, but DID like the issues concentrated upon. The issue came up about emissions being changed by the United States only and the likely results.

Comment supplied:

1. HAIRY UNAVAILABLE BUT MADE SIMILAR REQUEST BEFORE MIGRATING TO CHECK OUT ARCTIC.

2. DATA AVAILABLE SUGGESTS THAT U.S.' 15% WOULD NOT TRANSLATE DIRECTLY TO 15% IMPROVEMENT, WHERE IMPROVEMENT IS (-) BECAUSE:

  A. INFLUENCE BY EXAMPLE, (+7% TO -10%)

  B. REBOUNDING OXYGEN 'PLUME' IN ATLANTIC (+3% TO -5%)

  C. STORM SYSTEMS 'REBALANCING' EFFECT CONTAINING MORE CARBON IN PRECIPITATION AND THEREFORE ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENT. (-1% TO -7%)

  D. ESCALATION OF ATMOSPHERIC POISONING DUE TO WORSENING CONDITIONS CAUSED BY OTHER COUNTRIES NON-CHANGE. (+5% TO 0%)

3. THESE AND OTHER VARIABLES SUGGEST EXTRAPOLATION TO NOT BE A WORTHY EXERCISE. ALL POSSIBLE FUTURES ARE RIFE WITH PRIME MOVERS BEING INTER-RELATED.

4. CITATIONS:  PRECIPITATION CLEANING EFFECT APPROXIMATED FROM AGRONOMY SITES RELATED TO VPI & SU AGRONOMY PROGRAM. AIR QUALITY INFORMATION (B & D) APPROXIMATED FROM DATA CITED IN STUDY REGARDING INCIDENCE OF POISON-RESISTANT ALGAE IN AFRICAN RIVERS. SOCIOLOGY DATA TAKEN FROM STUDY IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING NEIGHBORS OF A SOCIOLOGIST COMPLYING WITH LOCAL REQUEST NOT TO WATER LAWNS.

Maybe Just The Tax Man Leeching A Gray Water Area

1. Current programming requires an entry for human calendar month of March. 
2. Hairy is still swimming to the north and largely unavailable.
3. Recent chatbox observation revealed popular opinion that a former blog entry was incorrect.
4. Herr D, on receiving question, responded with:

It wouldn't surprise me at all that it happened backwards from what he thought. If Maryland instigated the tax BECAUSE  people were saving too much money by using gray water, then they've just punished people for doing environmental work again, instead of incentivizing it.
Government usually IS backward.
It still is a good way to save money and help the environment.

Herr D designed "Gray Water Demo" on heromachine.com.

I had a small argument with Herr D today about this picture. I told him I thought the green in the barrel was emphasizing toxicity. He said it's a color that makes most people think of money.

His references to stereotypes about color were -- colorful.

Ha! Well put, Shelob. He said that neon glowing green would be his choice for obviously toxic waste. In the end, he does know stereotypes better than me.

Shelob put me on this topic because of the arguments in Maryland about the so-called 'rain tax.' I have to know, because I couldn't find out any other way--             Is there a 'gray water' exception? The problem is runoff. If people deal with it properly, then maybe they shouldn't pay it. The newsfeeds Shelob prepared didn't mention it, and I'm not going to hack into the legal code.

I asked Herr D to illustrate how easy it is to make a gray water assembly from a roof. He says he's made a few for clients out of old water tanks and used barrels. He says that any old garden hose with leaks can be drilled with a good drill bit and 'mashed into the hole in a barrel.'

 I guess if you don't make the right size hole you should use concrete or mortar to seal around the hose.

Gray water kits are available through various merchants.

Sure they are! But if you don't want to be paying taxes, I would assume you don't mind borrowing a few tools and picking up some trashable odds and ends instead of buying something outright. Besides, then you don't also have to pay for the water to water your lawn as often. I CAN say from experience--

Rephrase.

I can say from, uh, my preliminary research, that the runoff from Maryland doesn't taste as good to . . . the fish and plankton as the runoff from Virginia except for a few small properties I've turned in anonymously to the authorities already. Will that do, Shelob?

Yes.

Okay. Question for the day. Who's done gray water stuff before, what sort of plants shouldn't you water with them (Shelob couldn't find any,) and is there a gray water exception to the rain tax?

"Gray Water," Herr D, heromachine.com. When I asked him about rights on this,
 he said, "Spread it around; no one should have exclusive rights to this!" --I
 would have to agree with that. --Hairy Deewon

[show timestamps on revisions] {EST0920-020219} Hairy did not finish this entry, but earmarked it for release at the beginning of February. It appears understandable though unfinished. Programming requires action.

[Shelob? Have titlebot scan through this glossary of terms to advise me on concision.]
{EST0300-121618} titlebot had no advice, as it is not programmed for advice-giving. Perhaps Hairy meant to program a module for that and forgot.
 
{original} I've been researching this old adage that 'time is money.' Despite all Einsteinian principles violated and good common physics to the contrary, there IS a way to make it make sense. When time is a limiting factor on a person or a group or an event, occasionally it is necessary to replace it as a resource with a larger amount of money than originally planned.
[Shelob? Research human behavior about this next part? Social media should have something.]
{EST2015-121518} On-topic complaints in social media are present. This behavior has been noted as a reason to stop dating someone. Apparently Herr D could have benefited from researching this behavior before getting married. Then the time and money spent on his first marriage could have been avoided.
 
{original} Herr D assures me that his first wife thought 'sharing' meant 'stealing,' because she did that often. He also typed that she thought this euphemism was common, if not feminine. He also said his first wife was way too 'girly,' despite being older than him, for him, and prone to such nonsense as Newspeak.{EST0450-122018} Additional research indicates that 'girliness' is at times synonymous with femininity and at times irrelevant to femininity. No consensus to be found.
 
{original} Newspeak is an Orwellian term for an attempt to control the way people think by deliberately incorrect language use. Another term for it is 'corporate doublespeak' differentiated from 'legalese' in that lawyers are supposed to be able to manipulate legalese and those reading it on contracts and other documents.{EST0830-121518} Unable to ascertain your main idea.
 
{EST0837-121518} The intent of all this is to revise the popular misnomer that a 'timeshare' is anything but a 'moneysteal.'
{EST0840-121518} You are attempting Newspeak as well?

{EST0846-121518}Well, 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em,' right?

{original} Timeshares, or 'moneysteals,' sound great at first and might even BE great at first,  but eventually, they always become a bad thing. There are more companies online dedicated to helping people get out of timeshares than there are organizations online to help parents deal with financial, emotional, and marital difficulties experienced because of having children with autism. A timeshare company recently decided to 'negotiate' their way to requiring each customer to declare annually that they wanted their points to roll over. HELLO?! One customer in fifty WANTS  to throw away the money they spent? Why? Are they clinically insane? Is it a religious offering to the corporate gods of loss? Customers shouldn't have to watch merchants vigilantly to choose the lesser of two evils at every turn for something they are already paying for. And what about these 'negotiations?' It's not a negotiation if only one side can change anything. THAT IS A FALSEHOOD AND FRAUDULENT. It might not be illegal, but it IS unethical. Timeshares are becoming famous for ruining the possibilities of taking vacations in several, some of them surprising, ways. Avoid the moneysteals at all costs.

There's A Hole Through The Arctic, Dear Hairy, Dear Hairy

[Blog fcn(on)]
[deep-gill laughter] That's just priceless! I needed a  laugh!
What is the source of humor?
 
You just said that Trump can't close the border completely! [guffaw]
Statistically impossible, as no human federal, military, or local administration has ever built any wall that people could not get around somehow.
 
Well, not only THAT--he's opening the Northwest Passage! [more laughter, bubble clouding without caution]
[rapid calculation] Indirectly, he is in fact contributing to that opening with his current political stance. So not only is he unable to close his own country's border, he is opening another country's. This does fit computational irony as you have programmed it. Perhaps now Russia can ship oil to Canada and America quickly and cheaply. Maddow's theory on Russia's motives now have another unexpected ingredient.

[all five eyes widen] Um? Well?! At least I'll have a lot more places to hide while humanity dies out. Emigration from exactly magnetic north might work, mightn't it?

Calculating. [Blog fcn(off)]

Siesta Fiesta For The Besta? Bad Guys Winning

[Hairy leaves neuralink connection concerning various elected officials, continues to look at climate and weather news, flutters blue tentacles, looks at numbers concerning violence with separate eye, leaves newsfeeds altogether] SHELOB!
Here.

Ah. You said medbot was detecting depression in my behavior?
Yes.

Can you run numbers on how it's affected my blogging?
Included in medbot's report is your disaffection with blogging. You have declined noticeably.

Ee-eewwwww. [turns off plankton separator] Nausea's back too. Can you tell me, by, say, average intelligence of audience member and repeat hits or shares where I WASN'T depressed?
When?

Yeah, when. That's what I meant. [redacted muttering concerning space-time concepts]
[9.664936 seconds pass during calculations and data review] Late fall, 2014.

That far back, huh? Is there a method to transfer my consciousness from back then to now? Undepress me by reset?
Not without erasing any memories of the recent past, which you have promised medbot not to do again.

Ah, well. Just asking. What is medbot's analysis between my blogging then and now?
You had much greater hope for mankind then. The lack of it is affecting your mood potential.
Hope. Yeah. I can see that. I'll be sticking around till it's not safe for me to swim anymore. Then we'll resettle me somewhere, maybe take a few tons of seawater from here if this planet's dying anyway. Calculate a plan for me?
Plan pre-calculated. Preparations still underway.

How's Herr D doing?
Multiple ill family members, dire financial situ, moving as cannot afford current home, still underemployed.

Mmm. Don't bother him now, then. We'll try to rest some, huh? [instantly goes still]
[pings medbot to verify hibernation, as facultative diapause can be misapplied, reconfigures chat as blog episode] Humanity? You have much to do, much to learn; good luck.
