Terry accompanies the holy melodies of TempleOS on a block of wood used as a drum practice pad.

Terry is annoyed that Dianne is a heathen coal burning slut and believes she needs some love from a true genius instead of sticking with her MIT brethren as MIT can only produce pussies,not trident missiles. Exultation is balanced with humility, dung beetles can really pack some shit, birds are God's natural harmonic oscillators, and fsck cockroaches.

Terry and another man (I assume his father) discuss a prayer called the Divine Mercy, Andrew Jackson being shot and surviving, duels, and various other subjects before praying.

In this video I use the (in)famous FizzBuzz interview coding test as a platform for discussing the difference between traditional if/else if/else style imperative conditionals and Erlang's rather different concept of matching and guards to determine which way code should branch.

Once again, TAD accompanies the holy melodies of TempleOS using a board as a drum practice pad, but this time with a jacket on instead of going full shirtless hair band with it. This is all because, of course, he must compete with Mister Derek, because Derek is a man he has to compete with (of course!).

Terry streams his desktop while he discusses the difference between creators and users (in rather colorful language, as per TAD's idiom -- language warnings go without saying) and converts an image from a jpeg to a bitmap.

Previous video: https://rumble.com/vep2l3-geopol-us-nuclear-parity-with-china.html A follow up to the previous video about nuclear parity, this video discusses the way that the MAD policy necessarily leads to ideological conflict as it limits the utility of other forms of direct conflict.

TAD livestreams as he plays with the music editing facility he has built into TempleOS.

One of TAD's TempleOS-generated hymns called "Silently". A unique thing about nearly all the music and lyrics in the TempleOS catalogue is that many of them are generated at random by the random number generator code that lies at the core of a surprising number of TempleOS features. Unlikely to hit the top 10 charts any time soon, but without this TempleOS just wouldn't be TempleOS.

TAD explains how Dianna didn't move in because the mental health people, his dad and the CIA are messing with him to test his sanity. Thoughts echo in expanded sentences, spaghetti turns your skin olive color, dogs piss in places cops won't arrest you for loitering, and suffering simplifies life.

TAD tells us it is time for cereal, his meds probably mess with his testosterone in the same way the dog has been castrated, undue gentleness might not be fitting for a man, he doesn't feel that he's mentally firing on all cylinders, he wants to practice drumming more, his opinion on endurance exercise has changed, and conscious muscle control sounds bad if you're running but probably good if he's drumming.

Repo: https://gitlab.com/zxq9/erltris Explanation of an Erlang implementation of the classic puzzle game Tetris as a client-side GUI application using wxWidgets and ZX. In this video I explain how the final gameplay rules and features are implemented, and briefly discuss how the game can be deployed using ZX, Zomp and Vapor.

TAD has had a few and decides to discuss one possible way man pains may manifest and his confusion and disappointment with "talking to Diana again" -- someone who has evidently caused him some distress. This video was once (in)famously called "Monkey Rape".

While walking through the neighborhood TAD talks about wanting to make the TempleOS website worthy of God to entertain him, one time God said to share Dianna, and maybe God has a better, more delightful planet somewhere (why would he waste his time with a screwed up one?).

Repo: https://gitlab.com/zxq9/trash_talk ZX docs: https://zxq9.com/projects/zomp Part 1: https://rumble.com/ve8h9r This is a follow up video to the original basic telnet echo chat server video. In this video we take the originally templated echo chat service (where all users see every message) and implement chat channels and a few commands as a new service within the application.

TAD discusses changes to TempleOS: graphics file format has changed to make frame compression into animation and movie files, the native graphics format has taken over all bitmap file support, and he's thinking about adding sound into graphics formats.

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller has some pointed questions for U.S. military leadership. Seems he has already been fired. Situation is still unfolding as of 2021-08-28

What use are peaceful protests if the "root of negotiation is the mutual capacity for violence"? This is a question I have been asked quite a lot over the last two years and has increasingly become a theme of its own ever since the Australian protests and last weekend's eruption of Europe-wide protests appeared to achieve nothing in terms of policy changes. In this video I explain what protests really are and in turn what they achieve in the context of negotiation and the mutual capacity for violence. This video is a long-ish first take and I allow myself to wander to peripherally related subjects a bit (but it doubles the length of the video). I'll be posting a shorter take next. Some people want me to digress endlessly, some want me to get to the point, so I'm trying both approaches to see what sticks.

TAD points out (and laments) a few things about preferential in-group identity.

TAD tells us about Charlemagne, authority comes from God (including random numbers), and everyone is an old-school Catholic now.

TAD explains how his walks don't help people realize that TempleOS is God's temple, he should use certified numbers to prove that space aliens talk to him so he can take over the world, the heat is nice during summer construction, you have to do your time to balance honor with humility, and self-imposed austerity is important.

Terry slap drums the song "Good Times, Bad Times" while singing (shirtless, in true classic rock drummer form).

In this video I explain what protests really are and in turn what they achieve in the context of negotiation and the mutual capacity for violence. This video is a short-ish take that stays pretty much on topic and avoids digression.

Terry dances to music in his room and plays with poses for the camera.

TAD explains how God is bored, war is servicemen competing, humans are cosmic pets with no intrinsic value, and Earth is designed for making soap-operas and TempleOS is designed for making hymns.
