There's probably billions of planets with life on them. They're just so far away we'll never know.

Human technology, it's advancing, seems so far away

I think the universe is alive, it doesn't eat like we do or ever sleeps... I've got pics of cigar shaped objects flying right beside jets, 2030, that's the date a lot of experts predict we'll know more than we should

AI can identify plants, rocks, insects from photos and considers the location. I don't know how accurate it is but that's actually an application that I find value in.

I have no memory of what was going on back in the mid-90's except to say I was making a shitload of money, smoking, drinking, getting arrested, etc. But somewhere in there, I bought a couple of really nice telescopes and a really nice microscope...and then forgot about them for 30 years. Now I'm glad I have them and glad I didn't sell them for pennies on the dollar like I did with so many things I wish I had back.....my framed portrait of William Tecumseh Sherman, my sword, my genuine souvenir whaling harpoon from Mystic Seaport, my GD Lincoln tombstone welder! I'm great at buying shit but I suck at selling it.

I have this weird little camera from China that I bought for 40 bucks. It fits over the eyepieces of telescopes and microscopes and takes high resolution photos and videos. It's probably better than whatever NASA had when I was a kid.

You around primordial Jurassic Park type areas? Do you need Internet ability when using the app?

I took this through a microscope. This is a drop of pond water. It's a whole different universe.



I guess that thing's looking for food. It has a life...whatever it is.

No...keep saving. Believe me. You'll have more options later when you're too old to work much.

I'm glad I bought a house 30 years ago because there's no way in hell I could afford one now, even a small one like this. Same with cars. It's going to be a lot harder for our kids to get ahead. If you live in the city, there's way more chances to make more money but it's not worth having your life suck.

I suppose you need internet. I never really tried it away from home.

STILL AMAZES ME BUT ALMOST NOBODY ALIVE TODAY KNOWS WHAT A ROTARY PHONE IS. OR HAVING A KITCHEN PHONE ON THE WALL. OR RABBIT EARS WITH ALUMINUM ON THEM ON TOP OF YOUR TV THAT YOU HAD TO GET UP AND WALK OVER TO CHANGE CHANNELS AND YOU ONLY HAD ABOUT FOUR CHANNELS TO CHANGE. OR DOING MATHEMATICS IN YOUR HEAD....

More if you invest into a UHF box and play it on channel 13.

ONE BIT THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

Something living under the seat in one of those army out house shitters bit my ass. I can't say it was a spider, but they live in places like that.
