Paradox

I was to bed last evening ahead of 10 p.m., but I am unsure by just how much. I had my cellphone alarm set for 1:30 a.m. to get me up for my planned five-mile+ walk.

When that time arrived, I found the house in darkness. My wife had come home at some point from her full day of work at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.

When I was set to leave, my fully clothed weight without my jacket was 186 pounds. I was outside and on my way under overcast sky at 2:15 a.m.

Despite some trepidation about my ability for exercising at the elementary school playground three or so blocks from here, after taking off my jacket I just barely managed an opening set of seven pull-ups ─ I cannot remember if I managed that many in a year's time.

Other than that, my other sets were the usual: two in the second set, followed by three and then two chin-ups in the next two sets. And the usual two pull-ups between a pair of gymnastics-style rings in the final two sets. It was all I could do to hold the final pull-up for a possible 25-count.

And then I finished with a dozen slow, full-range decline push-ups on a cement ramp.

I recall nothing unusual about the walk, except that the lower left leg and foot lameness did threaten during the final ¾ of a mile stretch while walking back home. It was 4:18 a.m. once I was back, so my time was not egregiously bad.

It was around 6 a.m. when I got back to bed.

My morning may have begun in the neighbourhood of 8:50 a.m. when I rose; my younger brother was already watching T.V.

After joining him around 9:10 a.m. and soon enough getting the okay to put our Android TV Box to work, I led us off with a 12-minute video published earlier today at Rumble's AKStraightSpeaks channel: Trudeau is on the Ropes!

I wish the video title was accurate.

Next was a 1¼-hour (1:17:34) video published June 15 at Rumble's mariazeee channel: Dr. Rima Laibow - UN to Launch 'Pact for the Future': ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT NIGHTMARE! 

Dr. Rima Laibow joins Maria Zeee to describe the one-world government nightmare the UN is planning this September through their 'Pact for the Future,' and what must be done to stop it!

The relevant website is PreventGenocide2030.org.

Thereafter came a 13-minute (13:32) video published earlier today at Rumble's The People's Voice channel: Bill Gates' Chef Says Billionaire 'Refused To Feed His Family Fake Meat'.

Bill Gates’ long-term personal chef has blown the whistle on what his former employer put on the table for his own family and guess what – there was not a plant-based fake meat burger or synthetic lab-grown steak in sight.

Nor was there a cricket, insect, mealworm anywhere near the Gates family dinner table at his Medina, Washington palace dubbed Xanadu 2.

While Gates was pushing his toxic lab-grown and plant-based ultra-processed products on consumers, his own family was strictly banned from chowing down on these Frankenfoods and his own dinner table was laden with organic and grass-fed lean beef, salmon, and other natural products which Gates has vowed to price out of reach for ordinary consumers in favor of insects, bugs and lab-grown beef.

The shameless hypocrisy is enough to make you choke on your WEF-approved crickets but it gets even worse when you learn what the latest studies say about Gates’ products and exactly how evil are.

We finished with a 22-minute (22:31) video uploaded on October 5, 2020, to YouTube's The Why Files channel: 15 Mind Blowing Math Facts | Insane but True.

Did you know there are more ways to shuffle a deck of cards than there are atoms in the universe? Seems crazy, but it's true. Today The Why Files covers amazing math facts (and tricks) that will convince your friends you have super powers.

Math is everywhere. It’s the source code of the universe. Most of the time math makes perfect sense. But sometimes math just gets…. weird.

These math facts that will blow your mind. You'll learn about the Birthday Paradox, secrets of Pi, how to create numeric palindromes with your mind, and our favorite: the mysteries of the number nine.

How many people do you need to get together before you find two that have the same birthday? Here's a hint: not that many.

How quickly can you calculate 1,111,111 squared? We'll show you how to solve this in 5 seconds. You won't believe the answer when you see it.

And nines? Nines have a whole thing going on. Multiplying by nines = magic. Squaring nines = pure sorcery!

I don't have a mind for math, so this video did not much impress me. And despite seeming to be curious, the so-called "Birthday Paradox" explanation was utterly meaningless nonsense to me.

My brother had his bed rest after that video, but my day's first meal still had me sitting here at my computer when he emerged from his bedroom and left for the day.

Note that my wife was scheduled with another full day of work today at the restaurant, so she left here around 10:15 a.m.

The afternoon became sunning worthy, but I left myself no time. Following my nap, there were two blog posts to make. And I plan an evening walk; because my nap was not as restorative as desired, I feel myself in need of a possible further nap. The sunny afternoon has not helped my weary eyes.

And so it was.

I don't know if I napped, but I may have been down as much as an hour.

Then I resolved on an episode of Batwoman with a can each of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol) and Old Milwaukee (4.5 % alcohol) ─ it was season three's episode two ("Loose Tooth"). 'Twas better than many episodes, although I was disappointed in Alice abandoning the teen girl to the monster in the sewer.

I had indulged in some supper ere the episode; and then during it, my youngest stepson ordered a pizza of which I was granted two substantial pieces.

It is now 9:20 p.m. ─ I must ready and be gone on some manner of walk.
