I didn't get any programming done today, but I did a search online for the laws regarding emails. I already knew that I would need some sort of "unsubscribe" feature, but I didn't know that I would have to include a physical address. According to what I read, a P.O. box is sufficient, so I rented a post office box. I'd rather not put my home address on every email, although it is publicly available to anyone who does a Whois search for any of my domains.
I also set up a separate community on Locals called Friend of Learning. I sent an email to the support folks at Locals to see if there were any prohibitions against a person starting more than one community, and I was informed that there weren't. I would just have to create separate logins for each one.
I had already created the email address of [email protected], so I used that to establish the community. I was also able to set up a separate Stripe account associated with my original one. The same login gets me access to both Stripe accounts, but on Locals I have to use two separate usernames.
The minimum support level for Friend of Learning will be $5. I think the program is easily worth that much to the subset of people for whom it will be useful. I also wanted to establish a separate community because I like having this one as a place I can express thoughts that might not be appropriate for a group dedicated to homeschooling.
I'm also going to offer the first month's membership free at Friend of Learning so anyone interested can try the program out with no obligation.
However, anyone who is a supporter of this group today has only to send me an email at [email protected], and I'll register them at friendoflearning.com. To access the free worksheets today, it's necessary to go to friendoflearning.com/index.php . I'll take down the "under construction" page once I get the email issues worked out, which I hope to do this week.
Dr. Drew interviewed Scott Adams recently, and Scott Adams mentioned the absurdity that Republicans went to overthrow the government on Jan 6, but they neglected to bring their guns. On the first or second anniversary of the event, that alleged oversight made the narrative appear absurd to me, so I made a "video" that was supposed to be audio from January 6, captured on a video camera from which the lens cap had not been removed. I'm posting it again just because.
While I was waiting on hold to talk with a human at the IRS, I decided to put some food out for the dogs. I set the full bag of dog food on a chair, and walked away to get the bowls. When I turned around I saw the bag slowly tipping over, spilling much of its contents onto the floor. Fortunately I had help cleaning it up.
The main task for today is to begin revising McGuffey's Fourth Eclectic Reader. It may take a couple of weeks, possibly more. I still have to work at Publix, and next week I start a new job in the memory care unit of a rehab/nursing home facility, and I'll also be working at Publix at least one night.
After that I'll take a look at the double-slit experiment, and see if there is an interpretation that is consistent with my theory of wave physics.
Also, I came across the attached meme, which I had created two or three years (or so) ago. I thought I'd include it because I still like it.
I recently proposed a theory of matter and energy called Wave Physics. In this theory, the only things in the universe are energy and the universal membrane, which is the medium through which all energy is transfered and stored.
Tonight I realized that according to this theory, everyone and everything in the universe are connected to each other at all times. Things that would be impossible according to the standard model of particle physics, are very possible in the universe of wave physics. Psychic transmissions and the power of prayer are physically possible and make sense if the universe works in any way like the theory I proposed.
If you've ever heard the phone ring and felt sure who it was before answering it, and were proven correct, this makes sense in wave physics, but not with particle physics. If you've ever looked intently at someone, and had that person quickly turn and look directly at you (I have), that phenomenon makes sense if all of us are parts of the same vast, ...
I was only scheduled to work three days this week, so I decided to work on a theory I'd been playing around with for fun over the last few years. I'd never been a big fan of the standard model of particle physics, so a few years ago, just for fun, I thought about exploring some alternate ideas, with zero training and zero experiments.
This week I wrapped up a few loose ends, and posted it to a community I created called Wave Physics. Originally I had called it Alternative Physics, but I changed my mind, so the link still has alternativephysics in it, but the community name is Wave Physics. I'd love for people to pay $5.00 a month to tell me how wrong I am.

I also posted it on my personal website:
