       @fribbledom  Yes. I always wonder how my unconscious brain calculates the calculus and physics to catch a baseball, but can I explain how I calculate to do it? Noooo. Weird stuff.

       @fribbledom  I think you just described how a large language model develops.  Wouldn't it just suck to find out we are all just LLMs? 🙃😅

       Just so you know about my intensely scholarly efforts this evening: I wondered what the earliest known smiley face in the world is.It is found on a 3, 700 year Hittite pot found in Turkey, with the classic two dots and curved line.You are welcome! 🙂

       I am watching a K-drama set on a farm and suddenly everybody is harvesting corn *by hand.* My inner Kansas child was in disbelief so I had to check reality. So here is the real deal: Korea has Daedong farm machines:  advanced, smart, and self-driving, intelligent, intelligent, autonomous, automatic, AI-driven, high-tech, robotic,, precision, cutting-edge, state-of-the-art, smart, self-driving,, and modern agricultural machines.

       Then there is Kubota machines, which of course everyone knows. They make small combine harvesters adapted for local, often difficult, terrain conditions.They also make the decently priced and my favoritely named  machine- The Gonghammer:  type of walk-behind, self-propelled corn harvester tailored for smaller, manual-style, manual-style, small-scale farming environments. That's what my k-drama needed.

       @yngmar  Korean popular dishes include corn cheese (!), cold corn salad, corn soup, and roasted spiced corn on the cob.  Their corn is a slightly less sweet and slightly chewier version of American corn. Their kernels in movies look huge to me!  I can attest I have watched enough K-dramas that I have seen these down-home  comfort-food dishes presented. Nom nom nom
