They were so concerned about whether or not they could…
This is my review of Karl Strauss Brewery Peanut Butter Cup Porter:
In a world where AI allows us to create terrifying things like AI horror movies featuring oddly realistic but totally fake juggy victims floating in a space station. Where it truly turns into a dystopian reality is when they decide to figure out how the natural world works. The natural world being the war on mosquitoes:
Up until now, we had used only experiments with Styrofoam spheres to train our model. The true test was whether it could predict mosquito flights around a human. Chris returned to the chamber, this time wearing all white clothes and a black hat, turning himself into a bull’s-eye. Our model successfully predicted the distribution of mosquitoes around him. We identified zones of danger, where there was a high chance of a mosquito circling around him.
Predicting mosquito behavior is a first step toward outsmarting them. In mosquito-prone areas, people design houses with features to prevent mosquitoes from following human cues and entering. Similarly, mosquito traps suck in mosquitoes when they get too close but still allow between 50% and 90% of mosquitoes to escape. Many of these designs are based on trial and error. We hope that our study provides a more precise toolfor designing methods for mosquito capture or deterrence.
Sure, we’re just interested in how they move to keep people from getting Malaria or something. Not to you know, give them Malaria or whatever the hell the AP is assuring me Bill Gates is NOT doing when he’s not on Epstein’s Island. All of this brings reminds me of the actual lesson in Jurassic Park: Chaos Theory.
In ecology, predator-prey relationships can also demonstrate chaotic behavior. A slight change in the number of prey can lead to significant changes in the predator population, which in turn affects the prey in unpredictable ways. These dynamics make managing ecosystems a delicate and often counterintuitive task.
Even in the brain, chaotic patterns are at play. Neural activity, while not entirely random, exhibits complex fluctuations that defy simple patterns. Some theories suggest that the brain uses chaotic dynamics to allow for flexibility, creativity, and responsiveness to changing environments. Seizures, by contrast, may represent a breakdown of this complex order into simpler, pathological rhythms.
From the flapping of bird wings to the swirl of a hurricane, chaos is the engine behind nature’s variability and creativity.
There is no reasonable way you can predict what will happen, but you probably map out what did happen and use the data for later decision making. This sounds like hogwash from the learned caste to sound smart by admitting they have no idea what they’re doing. So I’ll just leave it with this: quit fucking with mosquitoes.
Another day, another completely predictable peanut butter stout….or is it? Actually, yes its like all the other ones. We have a porter here that is sold year round this reminds me of, but is a bit more drinkable when you are suddenly hit with an unexpected bout of summer weather in early March. Thankfully, I had this one in February when we were experiencing an unexpected bout of summer weather. It can’t always be what you have in mind. Karl Strauss Brewery Peanut Butter Cup Porter: 3.1/5
“Peanut Butter Cup Porter”
No.
Agreed. Sharpshooter, thank you for doing the Lord’s work and testing these things.
“mosquito traps suck in mosquitoes when they get too close but still allow between 50% and 90% of mosquitoes to escape”
That does suck.
They never should have banned DDT.
No mention of the idea of sending sterile male mosquitoes into the world to reduce the surplus population? I guess that idea failed miserably.
That’s just what we do with boys during wartime. Worked well for the Boomers! Or parents of Boomers!
Was it actually attempted?
Rachel Carlson, greatest mass murderer ever.

Go on.

I think it needs chocolate.
These dynamics make managing ecosystems a delicate and often counterintuitive task.
The preposterous conceit of “managing ecosystems” notwithstanding…
That’s one beer I will not be looking for.
“Seizures, by contrast, may represent a breakdown of this complex order into simpler, pathological rhythms.”
Yuh-huh. I wouldn’t call a forced reset of your OS “simple,” considering the dynamics up to that point.
Time for my last day of a ‘full’ week at the station. Next two Saturdays are in, but nothing else. This has been an interesting detour along the way, but I’m not excited about those next two shifts. “They pull me back in…”
But, hey. It’ll keep me somewhat busy. Be merry and well, all.
that’s not beer.
So I’ll just leave it with this: quit fucking with mosquitoes.
counterpoint: fuck mosquitoes. they ruin many a nice summer day
So i grilled a steak spanish beef ribeye and it had a pretty largr chunk of fat in it so i want to ask a glibs how much of the fat would you it? None, eat around. Some, get bits of it with the meat next to it. Most of it, slice in the way to get most.

I eat all the fat.
Never felt better.
Sprinkle some sea salt on it.
Delicious.
I’m not going to eat that much fat.
Me neither.
I would eat some of it with the adjacent meat, but probably not that much.
I don’t like ribeye – too fatty for me.
