wordpress blog.ckms.ca - need to fix the template the the Press This javasscript & plugin do use as a template? thye image link should be right just, and sized ~250x250, and the ere is an extra newline before the pullquote. to much clicky to get it sized ("convert to blocks" > click pic - justify > right > drag to ~275 then try to select before 1st char of pullquote (the line the jajvascript thinks is the first few lines) the backspace x2 to pull up the text and erase the blank line
also, the youtbue embed leaves a huge vertical space after.

the solution for the differing volumes at the tv room projector/roku/5.1 sony recr is NOT SOLVABLE BY THE RECIEVER!!! the major complaint i have is the youtube must be ~18-22, whereas plex on roku ultra wired is ~32. not sure what netflix or amazon prime need adjusting. likely thay are pretty staandardized acorss their content. but youtube is just too varioable.
should check at the server siide plex? no find anything
so might need to wirte to roku on adding such a feature, since it has all these apps (and now the bell app)

On the re-using calendars, the problem it's not exactly 325.25 days/year (aka 1 extra day every 4 years). The "year" is not and cannot be a rational number. That's why there's the finer rules like "not when divisible by 100" and "but then yes if disvisble by 400". And there's rules after that, and after that, and...

without r=laws, capiltaists WILL reuce their hman labour costs AS THEY MUSY (fiscal responsibility to owners) when it makes sense. so the arguement "jobs will upscale (see bank tellers became sales asscoiates and lower-level fund manangers and moved up in value to bank and positive for them (not all! some failed. some disklied the new trype of jobs, some actually enjoyed the customer service aspect of bank tellers), robots needing programmers, installers, etc, detc, will hold for a while, but at some point, too many people are not working and we're not prepared for it. i have no idea what level of joblessness we'd need to hit before this start to go sidew2ays, perhaps this is is know value... have there been economies or countries that have had severe unemployment and have resulted in much strife, is it 20%? 50%? 80?

so if we assume we know the where the ford is now, what can it protect or attack?

instead i want to invoke paste, and by button? slider? multi-seelct by ctrl or shif-click, and allow redorder so correct when pasted (almost always reverse for me, so stay with my last choise.

the venz stole our oil has some truth to it; the 1976 nationaiszaytion was a relatively chill afffair, with companies given some iperhaps adequate compensation? and implemtned in smoe/most/all cases as nnot renewing contract, whihc is why contracts should be properly timed limited to provent locking in bad situations (or very uneven deal). but the ~2007? by chavez was more a stole than a chill end of a relationship sort of thing, with relatively few gripes.
so the argemeunt is partially true.
i'm really wondering if there is sudden increase in oil from venz (struglling to pump ~1Mbbl or less per day), but what if 3 years from now venz is pumping 10mbbl, glut, price crash, etc, dog sleepoing with cats, that ssott of thing. of course opec and usa could slow down, but profits must go up!!
i wonder what the capacitu for opec and others to back off piumping if sign ificatn venz flows quickly.

you know what would be cool? if everytime you report some metric like ##bblpd , you also include, perhaps in a hovertext *so as not to obscure and litter the screen, common in from that metric. for oil, total$$ @ current$$pbbl, and in metric tonnes (useful for shippiing and logistics), and in #oil train tankers, and in # of 20' shipping containers
kinda like the win11 calc shows verarios other units, some funny (equiv to ## of elephts, or ## or swimming pools,
even better, i can have as many or a little other equivees as i want, and as i use it, the ones i use should automatically be the displayed units would be fiif when reading a busineess sesdction article s, but metric grams for recipes so i can use by weight with a scale, so much better than measuring each , just bowl, tare, add everythingb by weight, then mix.
the extension should be called equivs
i'm thinking this could be a time saver and a frustration reducer. how foolish that many people reach for a desktop calculatr or =mrre likely their phone to conver us$ to cdn$ (or just do a quick x1.5 to get a good apprimation in their head) while reading an article, hover over the $us value and a popup would appear with the equivs in C$ or $ch, or whateves I like. the mru of the top 5 (adjustable?) conversions. don't even need to take eyes off screen>
could also allow for very specific user-defind uunits. eg, $us > $c > eu$ > #hrs-i-have-to-work-to-pay-for-this
for someone in the oil or eneryy field, bbl/day could have equives for $$/day @ current price, mass in kg or tonnes or whevs, # tankers, #trucks, # hours to pump in pipele, cost to do any of these, etc, etc. whatver the person needs, they get.

also, show me my "default" or "native" uints; if the text has $us, do the conversion and show the $C in the text, with the us$ and other i nthe hoveertext

this tool should be a browser extention, or ideally an avail everywhere os tool. buit since everything should be a web page, just need it as an extension.

apparently oldcold war agreement places no limits on what the usa can do with bases, so usa could theorectically expand over the hwole island? if no language in the agreement, and an asshole is in charge in the usa, what's to stop tfg? this is the old "we trust only proper gentlemen will run for office, so no need for limits since gentlmen can be trusted to act rationally"
a similar thing is in chess, where a rogue move can lead to upsets, or a defense against a higlhy skilled knows all the openingsa and fdefences and etc, but can'rt find the right response to a "stupid" move.

getting my s.o.c file for 2025-12 into nbml...

seelect from that line to the bottom, cut
note the last datestamp for use in filenames
create a new rtf file , open in wordpad, paste, save using good filenamw.

Andora: since you are paid up for 1 room until the end of the month, and the nasty weather, etc. you have until the end of the month to vacate.

Since you are renting by the month, we have no obiligation to return any money to you if you leave before the end of the month. Especially given you are using 2 rooms and paying for one.

HOWEVER, since we I are eager to have gone, we will refund a pro-rated amount once you are 100% vacant the rooms. Less any damages we mutully agree on.

The formula is: [31 - day-you-vacate] / 31 x 1000 = $refund

I have attached the refund schedule .

Be aware you must account for any damages we come to an agreement on. If your refund is insufficient to cover this damage, we expect prompt payment from you. Failure to pay for any damages will result in legal action on our part.

Please acknowlege that you understand and/or agree with these conditions.

Questions are welcome in this chat.

--- 2026-01-05 - Monday

Adora: please do not treat our property as you did with the package you threw on the back stairs at ~2:35am this morn.

FYI, I sit ~5 feet from those stairs and know exaclty what you did.

If basic human decency is beyond you, it would be best if you touch Adora's stuff and leave everything else alone.

Just to be clear: please advise us in writing of the date you plan to be vacant the house so we can post the rooms 1 minute afterwards. And understand once you submit same, we will hold you to it, since we will be listing the rooms based on your written statement.

In other words, 1 minute after your statement, if you are not gone the police will be called to remove you for trespassing.

If you feel you are being threatened or treated unfairly, you should contact a lawyer. We have long ago consulted ours and are well aware of our and your rights.

For the record, of the ~7 people we've had live here, you are by far the loudest and most inconsiderate yet.

Finally, if you had spent more time during our discussion listening to what I was saying instead of loudly interrupting me, you might have understood better.

i don't think running venezuala will be as simple as tfg thinks. i wonder how the split is in venz
so immaculately planned capture, or madura, how much planning doe for "running" venz
how many, if any, civies venz were killed inthe strikes that distracted from the raid to capture maduro (heard 40 total, not sure how military/civ splits), also heard 80+ many civ)
if "naro terrorism" even a thing?
i have no insigight into
did tfg use the phrase "special military operation"?
what will price of oil on monday? if tfg can pull off getting oil flowing at significant rates befoore end f term, will be big boost.
if oil drops too low, fracking stops and us might fall out of largest exporter? to what end?
no one should ever questino what the usa can do militarily. the same thing could happen to canada, green;and (ex nato art 5), or mixico (ex much bigger)..
also, regardlless of the arming by russia, venz couldnt do shit to stop. this is further proff that russia is much weaker than we expcted, but then ouf course, nukes. so the fear of 1 (minimum) getting off the groudn out of the silo and explode over its target it siuffucuent fear from the rest of the world.
so we're stuck, grinfind away in ukraine.
and this changes nothing about the murger of alleged venz drug traffickers, 100+ by now.
the consent of the venz opposition, if if recognized by the us government does not legitamize this capture
contrast proseuting maduro for narco related chargesa after pardonnng honduras prez a us? convicted drug trafficker awhile back...
blowing up boats didn't work, proce of cocaine is dow ~25% over 2025, much of whch actually comes from venz (as contrarted to the allegede nearly non-exisitant fentynal coming from there)
what is est. cost of te operation?
how could tfg do this after receinv gthe fifa peace prize? such disrespect to that honorable institution
what do china (taiwan), russia, north korea do about this?
so what is the coherent rationale for this? drugs, nope. regime change? noe - if so, would be supporting opposition, who tfg simply dimessed as not having much support; it's to install usa viceroys rubio and ?? to run the place, dicatagint to whoever gets the agreement with tfg. what iwll venz people think of this?
getting the poil back? anti-dictoatoct - tfg loves dude from el salvadore, a self-procmlaimed dictoator (also putin? kim jong ? xi?)
pretty sure the potus has the right to start a war but has some small time (30 days? 90?) to get congressional support.??
interesting that the "chase" of the bella oil tanker, was obviously a ruse, since why the fuck couldn't the us nazy catch a 300ktonne oil tanker?
venz exports ~1Mbbl/day at best. 1% of world use.
so tfg gave notice toil companies before the capture of maduro
has tfg said anything about supporting the opposition leader who's in exile? perhaps be cause she didn't turn down peace prize (per tfg?) it's not about democracy, it's wholly about the oil.
so now tfg is threatening mexico, greenland, columbia, cuba, etc.
tfg: rubio & hicseth asked for pardon of honduras prez; rubio: tfg has the pwoer of pardons, not my gig;
so usa goes in to protect the oil from the bad guys (ru, ch), so we can take the oil and sell it to... bad guys (ru, ch). when you sell the oil to the bad guys, arent you a bad guy?

i want to dim the ligths in the tv room and marlow? so less annoying even a 1%. lutron casetta dimmer is too bright at 1%.
the led lights have a sorto of ring egdes that willshpuld be able to grip a round translcuentct disk.,
so if needed thety should be removable, perhaps by adding a pull tab of clear plastic to allow pulling out if need the full light

even better, add electrically dimmable film??

as much as i dislike the idea self-driving cars on public roads, beta testing with the rest of us without of consent, or for that matter, 95% of folks don't even know it's hapening. this is also a sibng that it is doing well... but it's likely not possible without such testing. if testing limited to the lab or the racetrack, it will never get to where it is now.
still, we didn't consent.

balrog-add-32gb-ram-2025-12-28.rtf
task - can my pc balrog use some of r32gb ram as a cache for the ssd drives? or is it better to let windows figure this out? if windows, then is there ways to increase what i can use to a larger value (say 8GB, leave 24GB for regular ram needs)?
my c: drive, where wiindowss puts the swap file, is an m.2 drive in the motherboard's only m.2 slot. that slow is a ??? . crystaldiskmark 8. sez
read: seq1m-Q8T1= 3354MB/s, seq1MQ1T1=3302MB/s, RND4KQ32T1=346MB/s, RND4KQ1T1=44MB/s

would it better to add 32GB ram to balrog at ~$250 for DDR4) or arethere other ways to improve the performance? i might consider upgrading to an RTX40x0-series card (currently have an RTX3060 installed. i hope to continue useing this pc for another 23 years.

trying to get a single newvoicxe transcript to google drive, no working. try to notebooklm, no working
correction, google drive works, just took a few mins (was seconds lasst time i did this.)
so when it gets to google drive, it has the filename "Dec 28 at 7:17 PM", whic is name the voice recorder gave it. i should habve changed it?
did the correcththing and gave that voice transscript a meaningful name in the voicec recordeer app, then upped it again via share to notebooklm, which is a bit unobvious that once you select the "voice recordings button, it uploads? in nblm that notebook source count is now 188 (186 before, 2 uplaods of same file, ) but can't see the file in the list of sources.
and of course, as i'm rowsing the liust of poorly named voice tranassrips, i:
a) lost track of whtf i'm going and started reading and f8ixing the filenames and
b) neeed to add a note about haveing some ai go over these gfiles and name them with the main ideas and the datetime recorded. this ties to my everything gets a tag idea.
log out, log in, no better. try on phone nblm app, no better, cannot find the 2 files, not be name "Dec " (original from voice recorder) or "Plex " (after I renamed in voice recorder).
try a 3rd upload today, short deleteably, as soon as I hit the button "voice reording", then go to either app or web notebook source now 189, so it got accepted.

neeed to add a note about haveing some ai go over these gfiles and name them with the main ideas and the datetime recorded. this ties to my everything gets a tag idea.
so my notebooklm source for voice recordings looks a little simple, from the voice recor i can share transcript with one or 2 taps (hb menu, share, to nblm > press "google voice recordings" still too fucking much, since i already have it syncing to gooel docs or drive?),
the problem is the "filenames" opf these voice transcripts are various forms, mostly crap. i want a method to have the rename automagically oncce they hit nblm. i want the ai to process the files as they come in, decide on a bunch of "tags" that are the main idea(s) in the transcript, and rename them in nblm as "tag1-tag2-tag#-datetime-stamp, where "datetime-stamp" is in the format yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss"
might be be better to keep on google drive? if i make a google dive dir a "source" to an nblm notebook, soes nblm see the new files?
ideally i want to keep the files in a common place, not as specific as uploaded to nblm, since nblm might go away, but my google drive should stay?
how do?

All this discussion about TFG misstating the promised drug price decreases is pointless. We know he's an idiot. He can't math well. When he says "reduced by 600%, he means "reduced to 1/6th of current". I'm not sure if he knows it's wrong; certainly someone has told him. I think there's a good chance he's just trolling. And getting bites. Meanwhile, murders/war crimes, rapist, grifting, heavily redacted Epstein files...

pex can now see/play files on shared/music.
mediamokey "all files" = 19415
plex is saying 22518
probs due to plex doing all the dirs under ../music, whereas mediamonkey doesn't inclde the "work" or "temp" dirs under there... need-work, new rips, etc.
if would be nice if i could tell the plex scaanner to NOT scan these.. and easy way would be to respct a file named .plex-no-scan or .no-scan (the latter is for any scanning, and the plex_ prefix would be ignored by every scanner except plex.
this is also an idea i had for scanning tv and moves dirs... sometimes i want to ignore certain media dirs, and a .no-scan file method is hand af.

so i carefule mark 60 files, tap tap , then scroll list upwarss, tap tap, then scroll downwards, tap, get them all?review by swipe up, swipe up, all good, BUT if i accidently scroll to tje top and then swipe down again, refresh AND ALL THE CAREFULLY selected files are unmarked. yes, i should not do that! but... pro[se if at screen top then swipe down, before refresh,if there are any marked files, pop a "of to refresh?" or maybe refresh by don't uncheck? ask in same dialog (Refresh & clear? or "Refresh and keep marked?"

BUT!!! some time later (like after lock screen or go to sleep and obsv over power cycle, the balance is set to 100% both soides. so i am visiting the sound devices setting a lot.

I HereByDelace that all ride-sharing & task-rabbit-gig apps MUST have a setting for desired interaction; radio buttons for "don't talk at all" or "minimal interaction please :)" (must have the smiley to signal no offense). Or maybe a slider, left="no talk" right="AMA!". I've never used ride sharing app so maybe already exists?

why not just have a source be the continuous sync or my email server on imap?
all my wirings to my s.o.c file
all my blog poosts, or just a connection to the approp databaseas or apis or whevs
all my chats with gemini+&&
all my collected files in ~\docs, ~\notes ~\Mydocuments, etc dirs?

my vomputer collnection of musioc or just aa connection to my musc server/strm
my playlists and music playig servies
my reddit, fark, boingboing, etc posts
my complete facebook postings and etc?

all of the above things cna be done, but some are very teedious (8 steps per tasncript from google voice reocorder on pixel9. likely same with ithe voice transcriots, like my efforts to use aws, which i actually had to the point i could start writing an automation, then i discovered gvr on pixel9 and thet immediately came my primary.
or i can do a google takeout for the youtubve hisory, then find the last known, read forward to neest for each watched video.
or facebook or twitter or all can be done same tedious error prowne way. this is where i should be able to do via some high-level low code thing like n8n or nodered or whevs.

the "magic bullet" shot in the ckirk assasination is a red herring? we do not know ehre the shooter was aiming; he could have been aiming center of mass and pulled it up?, bad technique, bad sighting didn't adjust for diff from sighting (if we kno w the bulet and the rifle, should be easy to know dropat 150m? .
this always leads the beleiver to ignore and assume a lot: that the shooter is a expert/cia/kgb/mossad etc, since how else could it hit right where his artery is (similar to tfg;s ear shot),

is potash 93% imported by usa our most strategic resosurce? more than steel, alumimun? what cost to export? what cost to ell to usa vs sell to world market

one thing about the "world market"... take a commodity like potash, fungible, doesn't matter where you get it from, it's the same, by contract where it is trader. potash on the world market is bouthg & sold with no regard for where it came from; therefore, when canada sells to world market, say 1m tones, the buyer doesn;''t know or care where the actual potash comes from,; as long as the stuff that shows up on the date the contract sez it does, it could be from canada, but mor elikely it is from a less arduaos expensive route.
this seems like a masive improvement in efficiency over direct sdaslve from canada to long shipping costly to other side of the world (austrailia, say). canada delivers 1m tones into the market, so 1m tones if available from new zealand 9in this case, right next door to aus, so most efficent source.
when we sell potash to usa, is it at market price? or does usa get a special deal since physiocally next door, in th case of some commodities (ng? oil for sure), we contruct pipeline networks to deliver right to the processors. is the "discoutn" that oilsand oil gets? usa is physically easiest, and is only place that can proicess heavy crude? what other refineries can take this stuff? how captive are we to the usa refineries?

i here by delcare all performace graphs should have a button for "Auto scale" button, OFF by default. The max value of the data being graphed is at the max of the Y axis. 100% performance = top of graph. This allows a quick glance at the graph to know the relative use of the resource being graphed. The Autoscale option
as a ui element, a selectable button as a slider on the Y axis ; unselected=locked, select and it can be dragged to the scale max desired. if too diff to make a slectable butoon on a vertical s lider, make a button at top of slider and enable / lock slider per button set.

xyplorer docx problem, found a formum post with the same problem but wioth .xls files. per a sugggestion, i have displaved preview for *.docx.

"C:\Users\csilvest\Documents\_____notes\xyplorer-loses-file-ops-after-cant-preview-docx.rtf"
xywplorer - ctrl-t makes a new tab of the current, but the sort is wrong (not similar>) i almost alwsy sort newest at top, but the newley created tab is oldest at top.
seems liimmited to when there are files selected in the tab on which is focused when ctrl-T is pressed. the resulting tab will have the sort order oldest at top, and one of the files that were selected in the originating tab is selected in this new tab
further: if NO file is selected in the originating tab, but there is a search dynamic thing (in my case I wanted to focuse on the issues and my mom's new appartment, so i have a dyn filer "mom", so only file with "mom" in tham are listed.; with no file selected, ctrl-t make a tab with sort=oldest at top, no file selected.; if I select a file (of the filtered ones), cvtrl-t make a tab with sort===oldest at top and the file that was selected in the originating tab is selectrred, which could be a ways down the list. with no filert or selected file?; so turns out the behiour is the same, but i want to say "on ctrl-t, always create a tab sorted newest at top. maybe exists in the massive # of options?
i tried setting .\Downloads in my preferre order as DFV, but doesn't fix the pproblems
so the issue is due to how i workd with the files. i just want a setttingthat sez "open in my preferred view and order sort.
found an old thread (2017) that talks about the same problem with .xlsx (ecel files0. this is where i got the suggetgioon to just take the .docx out of preview; easily done, but not what i really want.

The Default Folder View
By using the command Define this Folder View as Default you can define a Default Folder View (DFV) for all folders with no associated specific folder view.
Note that even if you do not define a DFV, an internal default folder view is always applied if no specific folder view is active! The advantage of saving an explicit DFV is that you can configure it using Edit Folder View dialog, i.e. you can determine which settings are applied and whether Auto-Save Changes is enabled. The internal default folder view always restores all settings and auto-saves all changes.

xyplorer - i want to diasable the left-right scrolling by my mousewheel when a tab is selcted.
searched the setting for "scroll", got these:
Y "Shift-Wheel" scrolls horiz
N Ctrl-Wheel scrolls through the list views
with these settings, horizontal scrolling of sliders works
; if i have cursor of list of files, wheel makes list up/down; if cursor over a horizontaol slider (on thumb or on embypt sspace, wheel makes horiz slider move left/right as wheel scrolls. perfect! and this is wihtout a modifoer like ctrl or shift as the is menu suggest.,.

so the eaer of declaring a snow day... perhaps now that we know how tto do remote learning (perhaps not as well as we can, is the learning as good?), calling snow days is good practice to keep the remote learning capability working, so the next time something equiv to c19 pndemic (regarledlees of wheat you think if it), being prepared is worth the 3 or 4 times a year the extra snow day occur.
matter of fact, if you're a large organization, of business of ny significance, a hospital, etc, you whousl be doing ser=ius occaission tests of your systesm.
many will argue from back inmy day... but back in yoiur dsay, peo ple needlessly died from or were harmed by things we can eaily prevent nowadays (hello measles?)
like how many small to mid sized busineses know that can continue operating when the ligts go out, the water stops, or the internaet is gone. got a fax maxchune? got a printer? pens & forms? exitensial threats can be mitigated, prepared for. yes, cost. but like insurance, seems necessary to me. or maybe there is insurance that covers this risk?

ok, this is weird... this is the 3rd time i've seen a awfully nice to canada analysis of the current usa<>can trade problems ,all due to the tfg. the other 2 are by George Will and ???? , both of wwho i find very trustworthy. but of course i do, since this is the algorithm suggestingthings i like.
i should get the transcripts from these the and ask for a comparisions and how similar and is sthis a greenwashing (ocket puppets?, a common message from a larger group?

won't surprise me to see a similar one from Bill Crystal or others...

Hey! @c long time reader, first time poster, yadaya... I just got fooled by videos algo-recommended to me lately... one by George Will, one by George Conway. Check the channel description for confirms. Is this well known? Do these Georges know this goes on? Cheers!

ok, i am going to spend an hour copying my latest transcripts:
look at google drive \ google-voice-recordings
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cmxyP_8lmVs0zcR_H4mJ50cPCYo3HbD9
figure last dated upload (here: 2025-10-31)
go to voice recorder, scroll down to 2025-10-31, start uploading the transripys
recorder transcriber needs a timestamp, start and finished, in sio8601 as won does.
so it's really anything newer than oct31, since i di 18 uploads on 2025-10-31
so in 20mins (less 5 for getting the prcoess down), i was able to upload 17 files (15 transcripts, 2 of [REDACTED] snoring). while tedious, and needs automating, i was able to see the files fishish uploading, and now that i have them uploaded, i will delete from phone. all all> yes! if i haven't thought about a rambinlg i might have donew, it's gone./ let it go let it go!
should record the latest? might as well; create a gdoc title last-uploads-2025-12-13
delete onat a time is 4 presses v... menu, delete,
luckily theres is a select all, but not obs, have to press and hold a recording, the that one is selected and there are seelection buttons on each... and a select all in the vdot menu.
so over to nblm...open my "Voice Recordings" notebook, +Add sources, choose the Gdrive, My Drive > Google-Voice-Recordings
can't drag & drop fromgdrive
so download them to my pc, drag&drop?
yes, can d&d, but: files show up at the bottom of the list of sourcces, and then appear to sort by alpha as the come in. lucki;ly can multi-drop (did 1, did 2, then did 12 remaining, all uploaded.
the key is to rename them as .docx or whtevs gdocs call them'

google aps scroll wheel issua is chrome, suince works buetiufully in firefox (note onmaintinaing 2 pbrowsers, one fully customized, one fully stoick. in my case, chrome is the fully mod, firefox is the stock with minor)
seem to be smoohscroll enabled for chrome = bad, but disabled for crhome is better. very course, but the nonsene of the zooming while panning is not there...
verified: set the same setting as per firefox -- problem persists in chhrome.
does this happen in earth? or other progs? edraw?
edrawmax - pan smooth, but very large steps zooming; tried radical single var changes in smoorthscroll, no obvious effect.
everything smooth in google earth pro; it uses smoothscroll defaults, which i have edrawmax

Why Trump Hates Canada
Perhaps Trump's fascination with Venezuela is about access to their oil?, to alleviate possible reductions from Canada? Venezuela oils is more or less the same stuff as comes from the oilsands, and is a bigger reserve. Might take some time to get their production to 5Mbbl/day, but that's lots of work for American companies, esp. friends of Trump.

here's my configuration for context menu search;


-
here's how to import context menu search settings from one pc or there other (or mmaybe to other browser using the sam,e extension. i worte this on the email weherwe i att4mp to share my menus with yer.

save this file; change name to say "[REDACTED]"?
open this fiule in notepad (rclick > edit should do so)
do a select all, copy to put it on clipboard
in chrome, extensions, find the "context menu search" , 🍔 menu, options
in the other settings there is a "Export/Import search options" text block;
in that block of text, rclick > seelct all (or CTRL-A)
delete all
paste in the stuff on your clipboard (CTRL-V)
save

this should make your menu same as mine. if there are places you wabnt to search that arent on my menu, please add or ask me. it's kinda tricky. but you can't vreak it, so go

thern you have to force yourself to use it. practivce a few times. AND, whenevs you start doing it the wrong way (like you want to search for something on amazon.ca , you start a new tab or window or find one to use for searching, the rememaber this newer better way, force yourselft to stop asnd do it over the new way. you have to make this the default way to searh, and it will take some time.

so i want to add 'saveitforparts' to my blog post on my fave youtube channels. youtubers as the kids say. puit i am in the middle of a huge ida on how to get may email ionto a notebookml nblm notebook or note as a source; so i am trying to get some news postcast podcast so don't have to wathc, but doesn't seem to interfere witth my ideas generating ability. matter of fact i need sometrhing in the sound as i try to think this stuff. music works, but with the state of the world and events ; ran out of quuied up vids, so nee d=d a new list, so go to yote, recommened and subscriptions, clcik the ones i want to wathc, get one playuing to fill the ears, until i geet enoiugh or get all the news; move thaty window to upper right and maybe focius on the playing video
so i rclick the savitforparts channel anbd open iun new window? this comes up in front, but i simple minimize it; now its in my history or tabexpert so i can find it again, assuming it comes uo.
then back to the idea on emails > source in notebooklm

for my list of watched video, perhaps there is a way to use n8n to go down the list of my histry, gab the new ones, until it hits one it's already seens; or maybe create a playlist called "scanned-nblm", working down the history, is it on this playlist? no: get info to list, set the playlist ?yes: ignore, got to next
first run might be long, want to limit to keep it friendly, but once the complete history is done, just needs to process ~100 day?
do periodlically, randomlly?
does n8n have a "youtube histry browser?
jfc, i think it can be done!

the line will be 'high level said "if they're a trheat to the us in any way, even if improbable, you may eliminate. so admiral said 'i can say they apeared to be getting back on the boat and continuaing there mission', so i consider them a threat, and therefore, i gave the lawful order to kill the 2 survivcors
scott free

it would be cool if irfanview defaulted to "batch conversion" on starting a batch process; occassionally i use the rename

i want a windows profgram that displays the date & tme in the upper (configurable, bottom, sides, etc) window bar. maybe need to hold a key (shift?), maybe run cursor to the edge and display slides out. the way the miscrost pc manager does it.
-
i want a local docker replacement for notion. my notion use is mostly a couple of simple databases with some interrelations. nothing too complex. i assume whatever i replace it with locally, will be able to ingest or import my notion tables and such?

thinkng aobut the requiement for precision is misleading or wrong; if the platic bag was always exacly in some place, then micon level position will hwlp. but in this case it is the adjusting in real time to find the edge of the plastic, which way it';s point, then runs the axes to be inthe right positiobes to minimize the error in the pointing vs the bag edsge; this argument that you jsut need higher resolution is as mistaken as the 'jjust need more cpu, more flops, more parametersm, more layers, and at someo point agi will emerge. there is something more.?

i should add the file fixer filename fixer (alt-2), (alt-3?) and greenshot- removal (alt-4?) to the script that does the script that does the fixeup of everything to.jpg, etc.

in xyplorer, in the group rename dialog shoudl do an imcremental search on the selected filenames. extra good would do a substring incremental, not starting* method
-
in irfanview, thumbnails, would be nice to have a "touch" toset the modified datestamp to now. this would halp my workflow, as i browes doen a long list of pics, i see ones i want to work on. since it sort file exploere date newest at top, this pushes things i wont to work on now to the top. doesn't garuntee thaty'll get working on tright now, but this really helps.
might be able to do with a "open with external editor?" simle .cmd to run 'touch' or a powershell script that does the date setting. but will irfanview send all the elescted as a sliust of filenames, what is max#?
could be fanciued up with a datestampe slector twith "now" and cal/time picker to set something specific in the past or futyre?

Damn straight! Would need to be ~15 seconds, no more. Ain't nobody got time for a 59-second PSA. Should be in the TikToks. Or the Instas.

Thanks to @Retrontario for this. I was 90% sure you'd have it! Keep up the great work! My request: full-length Electric Circus episodes.

the ability to contain the url of an image in the jopg comments proptry can be used when an image posted elsewhere will automatically use thelink when clicked on? no diff than eadding a link in the html composer editor, but just less steps.

so did the admiral decide himself to kill the shipwrecked dues? if so, he's guilty of murder/war crime. only IF he had orders (specific rules of engagment, specific verbal command from ?who?), then they are guilty.
there is no getting away from a war crome or a murder was committed (regardless of the rest of the boat strikes).
why the fuck is no one asking "how do you know there were drugs?" show the evidence fuckers
"they were trying to flip the boat back over"
did they have any offesnive weapons that might have proposed a threat to the immediate forces in the area?
identify the fucking trheat. mean i the water trying to frlip a caro boat even if full of big barels labell DRUGS .
no radiio. no weapons. justification was drugs might still be going to usa. but boat was goinbg in diff direction , possibly to meet another boat from ???
boat was "blown in half", no motors
admiral sez he called some usa lawyer for opinion.
no usa pers under threat, since used drones & etc, there was no threat to the usa pers, so how claim self defense?

so let's take everything in my soc file from <2025-11-01. this will leave the last month in the soc, if it ages out to the nblm notebook don;t need it here.
done!
"C:\Users\csilvest\Documents\_____notes\cedrics-stream-of-conciousness-2025-08-03-to-2025-10-31.txt/rtf"
droipped this into my nlbm notebook "cedrics stream of conciousness" nblm.
so the steps:
in soc file, find entries <1month ago; search 2025-10-31, finds
seelect from that line to the bottom, cut
note the last datestamp for use in filenames
create a new rtf file , open in wordpad, paste, save using good filenamw.
to creat asomehting nblm will digest (rtl not supported, nor the graphics i think), save as , Text .txt, save
insert this new soc snippet to the notebook nblm "cedrics stream of conciousness"
-
the above is kinda tedious. error prone. needs to be automated. at this pain in the tits, i'll be hardpressed to do this once a month.

tfg losing everythying, maduro not caving?, double-tap
is there some higer level "authorization", levitt stressed that it was an "authorized"act, not a "legal" act when reading from the very legalese statement. is it possible tfg gave the order?
the "kill them all, leave no survivors, give no quarter" is itselef an illegal order. someone is going to burn for this, my guess the admiral alreay named.

is germany doing the bollands and other heavy physical protsction around their christmas markets not an exmple of fighting the last war? another tactic will appear that makes these reenfforcements worthless, or at least ineffectibve. but you got to do something or risk know attacks. maybe banning vehckes at all in a 1+ block perieter? push the defence out a bit sso it doesn't have to be so heavy and intrusive 9the manually opened heavy gate to leat the tram in is not a great system,

somebody said "kill them all". the admiril bradley would not have deccided that he knew somoen above him wanted no survivors. that person (hegseth? trump??) is guilty of war crime and/or
