coffee without all the jitters. I need that today.

All right, what have we got going on? Are there crazy things happening in the world? Yeah, there are. At the top of my list is a new tropical storm and the name of the tropical storm is Tropical Storm Beta. That's right. The simulation is serving up a beta storm at the same time beta males are rioting all over the country.

So what did I tell you about code reuse? I have this theory that one of the ways that you can tell if you are in a simulation is if there's something happening somewhere in the world that would take a great deal of processing power, that there might be other things that slow down or they have to reuse code to compensate for the fact that all the energy is going into one part of the program.

Does it seem to you like there's a tremendous amount of activity and complexity going on just because of politics, but at the same time we have these weird coincidences going on where it seems like the same names are getting reused for stuff and we're seeing these familiar patterns? It's like, haven't we seen this before? It just seems like there's a lot of repeats going on.

I noticed this the other day. I told you the story about I went to the emergency room the other day and what was really interesting about it is that it wasn't busy. And I kept saying to them, is this weird? I'm at the emergency room of a major emergency room and there are only two other people here.
