Neuralink's Brain Implants
Hacking my brain implant wouldn't do much, Noland Arbaugh asserted, adding, "You might be able to see like some of the brain signals.
Neuralink's first recipient Noland Arbaugh has seen promising results since he received the brain chip by Elon Musk's company in January. But can the chip be hacked?

The Month of July
School boards extended the school year so they could justify giving teachers a higher salary. And even though their salary increased, the quality of their instructional teaching did not. If anything, it decreased.
Not only is July an indication of mid-summer, it is also an indication when backyard gardens start bearing fruit. So far, we have been eating cucumbers, yellow squash, and zucchini out of our garden. Cucumbers in salads, yellow squash in soups and casseroles, and Zucchini chopped up and friend with onion and olive oil.
In fact, we have gotten so much yellow squash and zucchini that we have been able to freeze several bags for the fall/winter.
July also brings with it, in three days, the annual celebration for our independence from Great Britain. When we celebrate the 4th, we seldom think about the sacrifice our ancestors made in order for us to have the freedoms we enjoy.
Traditionally, the meal is composed of hamburgers, hotdogs, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, apple pie, watermelon, and homemade ice cream. Most of those items will be served at our house this year.
While inflation has taken a hold upon many households, it will not stop Americans from spending the money to enjoy the 4th and pay off the debt later. We need this kind of celebration in our lives right now, especially when many of us are concerned about our future.
Most of the time, the rest of July is devoted to family vacations either at a beach, in the mountains, or visiting some tourist attraction with family and friends. It is a time to relax and enjoy being alive.
For those of us who do not take vacation during the month of July, like my wife and I, we spend time enjoying the comforts of being outside most of the day. While the yard may need mowing, the house pressure washed, or the deck stained, we will still spend most of our days outside.
Many of us enjoy the warmth of the summer and for those who do, the month of July is considered one of the best months of the year.
Joe Biden's America
His performance was another confirmation of the Special Counsel Hur Report that stated Biden was an old man with a bad memory...
Since the Democrats DO NOT have a reliable substitute for Biden, they are now saying that Biden performed better than Trump at the debate. This is after several LIBERAL MEDIA OUTLETS called for him to drop out of the race.
WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO FOOL?
Unfortunately, Biden is no longer capable of making tough decisions that impact our domestic as well as global policies. It is no longer about the Democrats and their power, it is about what is best for the USA.
Donald Trump, believe it or not, is the lesser of the two evils.
Let that comment sink in for a minute... once you do, you will realize the importance of that statement.
Trump is not an ideal President. He created a strong economy and full employment, but some economists say his policies would have hurt us in the long run. Maybe so... maybe not... but that is still better, if it were to happen again, that Biden's mental incompetence.
Biden's mental incompetence will be manipulated by our global enemies to their advantage. We also know, by default, that Biden is not the one who is making the decisions. And finally, if something were to seriously happen to him, that would leave us with KAMALA HARRIS... she was the first candidate to drop out of the Democratic Primary Race.
What does that tell you about the SAFETY OF AMWERICA???
Reminiscing
Perhaps I am just too sentimental for my age, but I am extremely sad that the USA is turning into a country that I do not recognize, nor do I like anymore.
My America is the America of the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. It was a country of innocence and wonder, of trust and respect, of hard work and loyalty, of an appreciation for authority, and it was a time where most of us had very little but made the most of what we had.
Perhaps, I am just too naive, too romantic, too sensitive to make the transformations that I need to make in order to live and survive in a world that has literally GROWN UP before my eyes. Sometimes, I think it has aged faster than me, becoming more bitter and hateful each day.
- There is no respect for authority
- There is no respect for personal property
- There is no trust to be given to friends and family
- There is no desire to understand anyone
- There is only what's in it for me
Our government tries to undermine the governments of foreign countries in the hopes they will be more like us.
Our companies manufacture products with a built in obsolescence of 3-5 years to guarantee repeat business.
Our law enforcement typically breaks the law in order to catch and prosecute criminals.
Our Politicians make all these promises with the intentions of never fulfilling them, spending more time on re-election that doing what is right for the people.
Our companies care more about profits than they care about employees or building quality products.
AND YET, we want the rest of the world to be like us and accept our democratic republic lifestyle.
This is simply not the America that I grew up 76 years ago, and it is not that I am ashamed as to what she has become, it is more like disappointed and sad that such a once great country has now lost its way.
Faster than the Speed of Light
Researchers have confirmed that quantum entanglement persists between top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles.
Physicists have demonstrated quantum entanglement in top quarks and their antimatter partners, a discovery made at CERN. This finding extends the behavior of entangled particles to distances beyond the reach of light-speed communication and opens new avenues for exploring quantum mechanics at high energies.
An experiment by a group of physicists led by University of Rochester physics professor Regina Demina has produced a significant result related to quantum entanglement—an effect that Albert Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.”
Entanglement concerns the coordinated behavior of minuscule particles that have interacted but then moved apart. Measuring properties—like position or momentum or spin—of one of the separated pair of particles instantaneously changes the results of the other particle, no matter how far the second particle has drifted from its twin. In effect, the state of one entangled particle, or qubit, is inseparable from the other. READ MORE...
