Bad hearing, bad sight, scattered brain.
Full of PFAS, but a true believer in radiation hormesis.
Why isn't rutile rutilant?
I like valence electrons (but K shell too) & deep time.

But, like, if I'm gonna search my DB every time something claiming to "assimilate and summarise gazillions of documents" I might as well just automatically run sphinxsearch with it.

This is an ancient trick to get Unix help. I remember it well. You'd just say "[unix tool x] sucks, it can't do [y]" and the rest just fell into place.

Just listened to a biochemist discuss seed oils and atherosclerosis for like 3 hours, and at the end the guy and host were like "2 people are gonna listen to our in-depth context and 50k are gonna watch and share a 2-minute tiktok saying 'seed oils bad' lol"

See, I was just gonna keep going with "that's the kind of Jakob's Staff I want when wandering the desert." Measure distant rock elevations *and* fend off evil wizard kings in 1 handy dandy instrument
