I’m Jimi.

I quietly contemplate these days. I enjoy reading about and infrequently discussing #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Horror, #Science, #USPolitics and #Noir. I’ve been #TentCamping over half my life.

Wow, just saw this—

It looks like Florida is planning on doing its own economic thing (to some extent) apart from the rest of the #USA.

The law, which becomes effective 1 July 2026, seeks to provide #Florida residents w/ "financial sovereignty," as gold & silver acts as a hedge against the dollar’s declining value and rising inflation.

From what I’ve read it appears internal communications are being fed into AI as a loyalty test for federal employees. That includes the NSA and FBI. Where else?
I’ve got a bose full of noogers and I’m not happy. Seriously.

Looks like cranking a wheel hard to the left will turn that off? Probably? At least if it’s not like a warp core containment failure.

Astounding vol. 24, no. 5 (January 1940)

Not familiar enough with factories/foundries/engineering plants to know if this is even science fiction, frankly. Beamy thing is sploding, good luck with that.
