Gail Combs is off tonight due to the tragic death of her neighbor, as well as the insurance company coming after her home, and other assorted trials and evils. Please join me in praying for Gail, her husband, and their neighbors. May they be strengthened in their hour of need by the Almighty.

We must endeavor to persevere with this placeholder.

This is a placeholder.

Most of this post is boilerplate, but with sprinkles of minor mirth.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Wolfian Wednesday Persnickety Placeholder and Open Topic, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Wolfie’s WOO-WOO Wednesday, due to the author’s expected rambling about his most WOO-WOO opinions. Please bear with us!

We are living in an episode of The Outer Limits.

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s WEDNESDAY…again.

So are we halfway through the week? Is this really HUMP DAY?

Let’s try that again.

OK – maybe Wheatie’s rules need to be posted on Wednesday, too.

• No food fights.
• No running with scissors.
• If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a pure placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday Wednesday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

How did Q put it? Ah, yes.

“Enjoy the show!”

W

OK – y’all got a real placeholder on the Monday upon which this post was saved. We’re gonna try to give you some actual fresh content today.

(1) Beware Charybdis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charybdis

Pot may not kill you, but it has friends like jet engines who are willing to do the job. Stay safe out there, mellow tokers!

(2) The Far Out Dude Prophesies

How did the 1970s get the future so right by warning us about what we shouldn’t do wrong, and then somehow failing to stop it?

(3) Pick a Number – Any Number!

Not so easy, when you think too much about it! Welcome to the “axiom of choice” – which fixes everything and breaks it, too.

(4) Dark Energy Is A Placeholder!

No, I did NOT say that Placing Holder Under Arrest is a Dark MAGA Energy. Nor did this lady. But she did say that “Dark energy is a placeholder for a lack of knowledge of what leads to the expansion of the universe.”

Actually, she said a whole lot more. If you want a good general explanation of the state of modern physics in words and no numbers, this gal can provide, during the first half hour.

After that, you enter the arena of physicists fighting each other. Grab some popcorn!

(PS – as you can see by the image on the video, these new AI anti-wrinkle creams and age-reversing formulas for men and women really work!)

(5) Does This Research Smell Sweet or Stink?

“Scent of a woman’s tears brings calm to men”

Remember – the Weizmann Institute had some researchers who straight-up lied about some covidian stuff, IIRC. This would mean that there are simple volatile chemicals that pacify human aggression. Are they putting those in everyday products? And if not, why not?

This was brought here a long time ago by somebody – and sat in my tabs forever.

LINK 2: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002442

So – we got some massive tab-clearing done. But there is still more to do! See you next time!
