  Episode 12: Siri strikes again the protocoll was okay, it was the technicians that failed

  Oct 2, 20268 minS15

  Closing Banjo music courtesy of Banjo HangOut -- Blue Skies used with permission. Join me next week for Trash Your Kureg -- Mother Earth will thank you. Here’s another little bit of weather nonsense — “California is already taking steps now to protect communities from a potentially historic El Niño because we know how serious these weather extremes driven by climate change can be,” California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot said in the statement. Published by AccuWeather Sept 22 (20-26) This online post was accompanied by a chart of Pacific Ocean temperatures. Since El Niño is always a warm onshore flow, it can’t intensify because it’s always warm. The uniqueness of El Niño is being an "onshore" flow(close to the coast) when the norm is an offshore flow

  Episode 3: Everybody has got their hand out, and it stinks

  Opening piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church. Closing banjo music courtesy of Banjo HangOut -- "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee..." used with permission. Waffle House plays it smart Since the start of the so-called penny crisis, Casa Waffle has even-numbered pricing and engaged tax-included pricing. Only to-go orders trigger a decimal dilemma: WH charges 10% on to-go orders. So if you visit your favorite breakfast place and use your debit card . Tip the server with cash and save your host 02.5%. They earned it! On a personal note — I visited my dentist's office this morning and noticed they charge 03.5% “convenience fee.” I used my American Express Card (Dave Ramsey hates that part).

  Episode 3: Siri/AI going rogue is another 21st-century myth! “She” only knows what has been loaded into her memory.

  Sep 23, 202612 minS3

  Opening piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church; closing Alabama Jubilee courtesy of BanjoHangOut -- It's a matter of technical rule one -- "If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong & at the worst possible moment..." Somehow I had been signed out, and the files were not loading. I apologize for the screw-up. Next time, the third in our series The freshness clock goes into overdrive when the beans are roasted, not when they are ground…

  Episode 3: Siri/AI going rogue is another 21st-century myth! “She” only knows what has been loaded into her memory.

  Opening piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church. Closing Banjo Music courtesy of BanjoHangOut --- Alabama Jubilee -- used with permission “Perishable goods such as seafood and dairy are particularly vulnerable because refrigerated transport is more fuel-intensive, said David Ortega, an economist at Michi-“ WSJ 09 - 12 (Diesel Prices Are Rising…. There is a workaround — I worked at Kroger part-time evenings, and the frozen food truck arrived before 10 PM; I would transport the pallets to temporary storage in the dairy cooler. The driver could now turn off the trailer compressor because, while there might be a backhaul, it would never involve frozen product. This practice requires some effort combined with thought. Next time, the third in our series: The freshness clock goes into overdrive when the beans are roasted, not when they are ground…

  Episode 11: In this podcast, we will begin a five-part series about America’s favorite morning beverage.

  Closing music courtesy of Stevens Valley Church. When I was growing up, the preferred method of brewing coffee at home was by the percolator. More losing Control of the language — Is Clay & Buck radio the new source of misinformation? Perhaps when you consider a caller’s statement 09 - 14 - (20-26) Here’s what he said: “I’m an analyst, and I used AI to write my latest post, and I did it in record time.” Here’s the problem: computers (including Siri) don’t analyze anything — that’s a human function. What computers do is “sort data” so the user can analyze it. Don’t believe me… Try it for yourself; a sort of data is what you will get. Your laptop is a binary device, just like your smartphone, and it only recognizes up and down or right and left, over and under, but fails when comparing something quantitative, like good or bad.
