LMAO, see someone is enjoying Co-Pilot.

If it gives you lyrics, please send my way .... LMAO. I can do with new material. But am not writing a song for a thumb and or a brain........sorry. I do not do the body parts songs.

See, I'm from Tennessee, so the lyrics have to involve Billy Bob and his Truck


Co-Pilot--

🎸 Billy Bob and His Truck
Verse 1
Billy Bob was born in a rusted-out town
Where the diner served dreams and the sun beat down
He had a dog named Hank and a heart full of grit
And a Chevy that roared like it just wouldn’t quit
Verse 2
He’d drive that truck through the fields at night
Tailgate down under stars so bright
With a six-pack chillin’ and a radio loud
He was king of the road and he made his folks proud
Chorus
Billy Bob and his truck, rollin’ free and wild
Dust on the dash, but a grin like a child
From the county line to the edge of luck
There ain’t nothin’ stronger than Billy Bob and his truck
Verse 3
He met a girl named Jessie at the feed store lot
She liked his laugh and the stories he brought
They carved their names in the old oak tree
And the truck became part of their history
Bridge
Now the paint’s chipped and the tires are worn
But that engine still hums like the day he was born
And when life gets heavy, he just fires it up
‘Cause the road makes sense in that beat-up truck
Final Chorus
Billy Bob and his truck, still chasing the sky
With a heart full of fire and a gleam in his eye
Through the storms and the mud, he never got stuck
There’s a legend rollin’—Billy Bob and his truck

All of these tech companies are dripping in excessive greed and shady as Hell. And it's going to come back and bite us in an incredibly bad way because these are the clowns who are creating the biggest threats to humans since medieval plagues--AI.

We find ourselves in the morning of the day the world ends. My kids will watch it happen.

Sorry was in a Live stream about copyrights so did not see your reply.

I will work on it in my spare time and eventually post it as Zed's song. Keep watching Soundcloud....LMAO

Actually, what the whole copyright live stream was about. AI copyright.

Apparently (Going on limited knowledge here and also joined late) in USA (Going on what I learned tonight) there was a 3rd paper that came from the Copyright department which stated that AI may use intellectual property within fair use.

So what they are saying is that AI may use somethings but only t a point. The problem now is that "Artists" are saying "But where did "AI" get it from originally?

This is a court problem now. Copyright laws and AI are not seeing eye to eye. LMAO, I am on the copyright side anyway so AI can go under for all I care.

Although Co-pilot can hang around just to keep me company.

LMAO asked it today "What would be my Chord progression in C minor be if my first chords are C minor, B flat/C and G sharp / C.

After correcting me saying that it is Cm, Bb/C and G#/C, gave me 6 additional chords to try.

Actually, started an EDM with them. Just ran them through the Circle of fifths first. EDM should be done by friday....latest.

BUT Co-pilot is welcome to stay

 

[Charagma]

Just been awarded "Famed" by the forum........must be cause of all the nonsense I am speaking. LMAO.........least we keep the threads alive.

I'm off on my journey home tomorrow. Two day 7-hours a piece of driving. Not looking forward to it, if I'm honest. My Mom decided to stay longer, so I'm on my own, which is a little disappointing, as I do enjoy the travel with her.

Ahh well, I'll have podcasts and thinking about looking for an Audiobook from the library on my phone.

Rule of thumb, stop every hour and take a short break. Being alone on the road is a much harder trip.

LMAO, by the sound of things sounds as if you could have gone home right after you got there. Seeing your mom stays behind. Hopefully you had a great time and made some fond memories.

You should have gotten a Tesla. You could have played games while letting the car drive you home.

I had to do my Training course video today.
I thought, it be easier to take my old PC out and use it to run the Powerpoint...

not as easy as I thought, I had forgotten I had changed a few passwords since swapping over and was just going to ignore it.
One of them being Onedrive which is where I had the powerpoint file.

I copied the powerpoint onto a USB stick on new PC...
get to old PC, it says the USB stick doesn't work... what?
Put it in new PC, works fine... grumble (I have been thinking about buying new USB sticks, maybe I should - notices 64gb USB C Samsung drives for $20, thinks... I will have two of those)

Email it to myself
that worked once I realised it only shows in sent emails, not inbox.
open Powerpoint... windows wants me to sign into my account. Sigh... get my new logon details from new PC

Finally able to run powerpoint and access file.

The rehearsals and video were actually the easy part. Uploading to course was as well once I remembered not to put the video in the onedrive folder until after I had uploaded it to the course... last time it was uploading it to two different places at once.

I still feel it was easier to use old PC instead of taking new one out... was much easier once video was done, I just leave it there until tomorrow now. Old box easier to carry too. Needed to update windows anyway as it hadn't been turned on for 4 months.

Only part I took back from that PC was my mouse as the pointer on my Logitech mouse was too fast, so I took my steelseries out instead.

Ever considered Dropbox? I use Dropbox to work between laptop, pc and my phone. Whatever I add from either of them simply appears on the other. I got Dropbox with a laptop years ago as part of the purchase package, and pretty much saved my skin many times.

Nice part is when I am at a client, I can share a "demo" of whatever on the fly without sticks etc. If they want it, I simply allow access to the full file for them.

You should have gotten a Tesla. You could have played games while letting the car drive you home.

Believe it or not, but I was actually cross shopping Teslas at the time, but my 2004 Dodge with 200k miles came out on top because it wasn't going to set itself on fire.

Also, the salesman kept telling me I was $62,000 short, even though I kept pushing my $2000 at him. Even tried to sweeten the pot with a half eaten Twizzler, which had some pocket lint on it, but he wouldn't (literally) bite.

His loss.

I could not sleep last night (Nothing new), so ended up working on the melody.

Decided to keep it country genre so have a "slur" type melody, picked a few general instruments with a Fiddle. Rhytm, not sure yet. My head is still stuck on the trap EDM I posted last night so right now everything I start feels like it needs a drop and bass. LMAO

Will let you know afore hand when it is done. You can always get hold of me directly on soundcloud if you need to.

I should be ok. I did this once before as a solo trip, actually even further. Made it from Ann Arbor to Omaha, NE which is like 12 hours or something before I had to stop for the night. But I was also like 28 then, so.

And it has actually turned out to be a good trip this time around. In most my years I've usually been awfully bored here, but some things changed a few years ago and it's been better now, to my surprise.

Here in the US, you'd be surprised at how well "Country" and "Slur" fit together.

Do not think either of those brands are available here. Maybe the Dodge because I recall seeing a Dodge ram once but could have been while visiting a neighbouring country.

Tesla, love the EV idea etc, but a country suffering with insufficient electricity, will make the EV useless. Most of the time there is power outages so better to buy something that do not need Electricity to work.

Had a look at the Harley Davidson EV. Love it but for us here it will be useless.

 

[Charagma]

Here in the US, you'd be surprised at how well "Country" and "Slur" fit together.

When I do Country Genre in class the first thing I tell the kids is to break up the words so, everything gets broken up into syllables. Like Zed's song will have the following:

Bil(Low)-Ly(high) Bob(middle) then rinse and repeat for the rest of the line.

Also need a slow guitar with a fast fiddle. Why I do not know but any other way does not sound "Country" Well to me anyway.

And you have to have 1 octave up and one octave down somewhere in your "slurs" else it is just a normal pop song. LMAO

 

[Colif]

Ever considered Dropbox?

I have:

1. dropbox
2. Google Drive
3. Onedrive

I don't use 1 very often and tend to use the others for most transfers.

My Galaxy phone auto uploads everything I take on it to Onedrive, I just had to move it back from there onto my PC and then upload it to my course. I have tried linking direct from Onedrive before but it didn't work.

Up to date with course now, I can relax. Have 3 questions left but they all from this week, I knock them out in next few days. Almost don't have anything to do... almost. Not sure if I feel like doing any more today.

 

[Zed Clampet]

I am no longer mad at my physician, but I'm a little mad at physicians overall. I've been seeing them for cognitive decline for awhile now, and not a single one suggested a medicine change. But I understand more about why they didn't. For one thing, almost all frontline Parkinson's drugs cause cognitive decline. I don't actually have Parkinson's, but I have a mitochondrial disease (unknown) that is reacting in a similar way to Parkinson's, so they have been treating me with those drugs, which has been largely successful.

Thanks to CoPilot, I think I've now charted a way forward that doesn't involve those drugs by switching to Pramipexole and a tranquilizer like Trazadone. Pramipexole has a small chance to cause cognitive decline, but usually that goes away when you stop taking it.

I am actually stunned at the number of commonly used drugs that can cause cognitive decline; for instance, Benadryl.

My sister in law was a patient advocate for just this reason. We've had this same issue on my side of the family, in fact, like when my sister (who is also a doctor) diagnosed a urinary tract infection from four states away that my Grandpa's doctors couldn't solve.

It's embarrassing. I tell everyone that they are the #1 person responsible for their healthcare, and they need to check/research things themselves. But I think these drugs were so new when I started taking them that they didn't have long-term issues mapped out yet. But if I hadn't decided to finally do it yesterday, I never would have known.

Seems this isnt limited to the U.S. My wife had her thyroid removed this year, had a follow up call with a doctor from the local health care centre. He was insisting that she was taking too much of the thyroid replacement hormone medicine. He said she needed to start reducing the dose because someday she would need to stop taking it altogether.

The doctor somehow didnt realize that she no longer has a thyroid and needs to take that medicine for the rest of her life.

Maybe we should ask them these questions the first time we see them:

By the way, they made videos like this for Millennials, too, and they turned out okay. You only need so many smart people and a bunch of worker drones.

Theres a hell of a lot to know being a GP and these days I can imagine its an even harder job because people are self diagnosing and questioning everything you do. Still as far as health goes youd hope some of them would have a better idea sometimes.

I think it's also that there's just so many of them. Patients, I mean. Doctor's have no real time to spend with patients and get to know them, it's just rapid fire.
