Knew that "Charlie" was short for Viet Cong but it finally came to me that it's originally short for "Victor Charlie" the phonetic way to say "VC." Problem is saying Victor Charlie has one more syllable than just saying Viet Cong, That's the Army for you though.

Stayed up (well almost) to watch the Ronda Rousey-Gina Carano card on Netflix. Watched the card up to the Nate Diaz loss but then called it quits because Netflix has some bugs to work out and it was almost midnight. By the sound of it didn't miss much by not staying up for Rousey's 17 second submission victory.

Soldiers and sailors still have to pay federal tax on their base pay (many of their benefits are tax free). Have long supported making the salary on anyone serving on active duty tax free. This would give them a slight raise in real income and all politicians like to say they support the troops - this is a chance to prove it.

Richard Feynman
Feynman was notoriously famous for working on problems like the structure of DNA and then just putting it aside in a file. His file cabinet is said to be chock full of such half-finished problems. I have long thought that a great use for AI would be to put this amazing computing power to work to solve these "files" for the benefit of mankind.
As always I recommend the book Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman in his honor. Richard Feynman was a very interesting character and I enjoyed his "autobiography". I use the words in quotations because it was really more a collection of stories. Feynman, along with two others, won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his work on quantum electrodynamics. But that's barely a blip in the book. In fact I don't think it is even mentioned until there were about 50-pages left in the book.
Feynman was a one-of-a-kind character. A man who was always curious and always learning. As a kid he was interested in how radios worked and soon became the go-to person for adults to see to get their radios fixed (back in the days before TV). While working on the Manhattan Project he became interested in becoming a safe cracker and soon became expert on that too. Drumming, Samba music, Portuguese, Japanese and painting became other interests of his. Can you see why Feynman was considered so unique?I would also recommend the essay What Impossible Meant to Feynman. Often when I learn something new I'd find myself exclaiming "Impossible!"

Carlo Rovelli on the Size of the Planck Scale
"...if we enlarged a walnut shell until it becomes as big as the whole observable universe, we would still not see the Planck length. Even after being enormously magnified thus, it would still be a million times smaller than the actual walnut shell was before magnification. At this scale, space and time change their nature. They become something different; they become 'quantum space and time,' and understanding what this means is the problem."

The Iranian war has now reached its desperate measures stage. The Iranian regime (whoever is left in charge) has ordered suicidal futile attacks on US destroyers by speedboats and is dumping oil into the sea because they have nowhere left to store it. These are signs that the war is near its end but beware of the regime - a cornered animal is often at its most dangerous.

NFL referees vote tonight on a new contract with the league. Assume they will accept the offer because truth be told NFL referees have it pretty good. Think all that talk about replacement refs was just a negotiating ploy although there's a chance it backfires because the refs may know it was a bluff. Nobody wants to see replacement refs.

Jordan Peterson on One of the Benefits to Listening
"By contrast, if you are called upon to summarize someone's position, so that the speaking person agrees with that summary, you may have to state the argument even more clearly and succinctly than the speaker has even yet managed. If you first give the devil his due, looking at his arguments from his perspective, you can (1) find value in them, and learn something in the process, or (2) hone your positions against them (if you still believe they are wrong) and strengthen your arguments further against challenge. This will make you much stronger."
