Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

First year NFL coaches Zac Taylor (Bengals), Cliff Kingsbury (Cardinals), Vic Fangio (Broncos), and Brian Flores (Dolphins) are a combined 0-15-1 though four weeks. At most only two of those four coaches will lose this weekend though (because the Cardinals play the Bengals and the Dolphins have a bye-week)... Holy crap! I don't consider myself to have a fear of heights but this looks insane... Remember that Russian face aging app everyone went crazy for a few months back? Now there's a Russian company making life-like humanoid robots. Now if a Russian company buys 23andMe then Putin would have all the ingredients needed for a really scary episode of Black Mirror... "Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim." - George Santayana... Given what we now know about the gut microbiome - I wonder if mankind would have been better off if we still ate with our fingers instead of utensils... Only humans believe that life may actually have a purpose. All other animals believe there is no purpose just survival...
