Dear Gemini
Levels could be built around major themes. I like the modes and worlds I designed. To built on top of that design, the question would be what what are all the themes out there. One theme might be the --min-read-rate flag. Talk to me about different strategies for the read rate because I would do a minimum of 100m for perfect mode and 30m for scan mode. I don't think 100m is literally possible but Gemini suggested it. Perhaps 100m would just push the drive to go as fast as possible. The limits for my discs and drive right now might be under 25m or at least most of my discs. Therefore, 30m might be identical to what 100m tries to do. In the past, I would have Gemini write several speeds where Bill would start with the fastest speeds like 30m for a minimum read rate and gradually go to lower speeds like 20m, 10m, 1m, and so on. That is one tactic. Another tactic might be the reverse of that. First off, perhaps not using --min-read-rate flag might do better in some cases than 30m or 100m. Beyond that, perhaps a lower rate might help if it saves overall time in trying to rescue many bytes. I don't know the math, the averages, the probability, etc. Talk me through different tactics as it relates to different --min-read-rate flags speeds, settings, the debate on when to use the flags versus NOT using the flags, whether to start at lower speeds or higher speeds, talk about the pros and cons between different approaches relating to these types of flags and themes.

Dear Gemini
Write instructions for Gemini for writing Bill to develop the Speed Switch which will also be called the Max Per Hit (MPH) as a parody of Miles Per Hour. Instead of pinning and fixing the --min-read-rate flags to specific modes, worlds, levels, or even rounds, keep the MPH gauge pinned to the Speed Switch. The challenge is writing triggers, the if this then that part of the code, I would love if the MPH could change even during rounds but I would settle for having the MPH fluctuate per round at the very least. The challenge like I said is in determining which variables might trigger the MPH to go up and down. I want the MPH to free to fluctuate between any round, level, world, or even mode. There are probably millions of ways to write code for a system as complex as this gauge. In my head, I can think of many different ways to writing MPH. There are many challenges as many things can go wrong with a MPH system like this one. Before I decide to give you all of my many ideas relating to MPH, I want to give you Gemini an opportunity to write as much as can as it relates to this. The following speeds:
30 MPH: --min-read-rate=30m
20 MPH
15 MPH
10 MPH
9 MPH
8 MPH
7 MPH
6 MPH
5 MPH
4 MPH
3 MPH
2 MPH
1 MPH
900K MPH
800K
700K
600K
500K
400K
300K
200K
100K
90K (with --timeout=5s perhaps)
80K
70K
60K
50K
40K
30K
20K
10K
5 K
1 K
500B
100B
1B
No flag null
Those are suggested speeds. And/or think about what if sometimes the MPH could be determined based minimum, maximum, and/or average speeds. So say for example if Bill is reading at 226.34567 kilobytes per second, what if the MPH Speed Switch locked onto that rate as to try to force that speed to continue for a period of time as to try to skip over slower spots.
In writing a MPH system, it can be challenges, many moving parts, many risks. One of the questions might be relating to which routes might save more time. To use an analogy, the turtle won the race because the turtle was consistent. The turtle was slow but was focused. The rabbit might be faster but might end up on roads that are thousands of times longer. What is tough is you may not know which routes the turtles and rabbits might take resulting in a hard time knowing how to do the math in guessing probabilities between different approaches. The rabbit might not only be on a longer road but might also stop and go more. Each time the rabbit stops, the rabbit might be wasting time. Perhaps a good MPH system needs a default route that takes in account all of these factors to come up with a balanced compromise that is founded on the highest probability of working, that is efficiency, effectiveness. The default MPH might be to start on off mode. However, I don't totally know as most of my discs probably have many scratches on them which sort of makes me want to focus on flying by as many scratches at the beginning as I can. But I know some might have only a few scratches. So, trying to create a universal Bill might be very challenging to do.

If a 4.7 GB DVD has 400 MB of bad sectors in 4,000 spots all over the drive. Talk about everything that might help and hurt me in this type of situation, talk the pros and cons, all of the flags, speeds, settings, the cops, the variables, etc.
Shine bright while you're shooting for the stars because you might get stuck up there. Might as well make it count.

Tim Pool - Erika Kirk CANCELS TPUSA Event With Vance Over SERIOUS THREATS
Welcome to my daily blog, my name is Oatmeal Joey Arnold, follow me on social media and on all the websites at Joeyarnoldvn or else. Wait, was that a threat? No way. I'm joking. But that's the thing about me, I'm a nerd stuck in the body of an athlete, born in 1985 in Oregon, been online since like 1995 (or longer) meaning I've been on the world wide web the past 30+ years uploading over 30K+ videos, we're talking thousands of hours of worth of content (I have millions of things online, literally), most of my content is terrible which is weird because I'm a perfectionist who would probably prefer only sharing my best stuff on the Internet. Click here for more information. Quick disclaimer, I sometimes like rant, I speak often from the top of my head opinions, feelings, random thoughts, I often don't even spell check, fact check, or look at what I've been posting on hundreds of websites and apps for decades now. But as I get older, I do try to be more careful as I try to summarize my life, my autobiography, to correct the record as I try to tell my side of the story to combat the Oatmeal Fake News that my lolcow trolls spam the Internet with as they fool people into believing the lies they tell about me. Not saying you should watch my videos. But if they can lie about me, they can lie about you. But I sometimes trolled my trolls to show the world how easy it is to fool trolls who fell for the lies I put out there. Most of what I try to do in my life probably fails big time you might say but I was at least able to scam my trolls a few times over the years. I sometimes utilize sarcasm, hyperbole, satire, comedy, absurdity, Devil's advocate, trolling, scamming, click baiting, out of context stuff, irony, etc. But I often wouldn't tell people when I was trolling or not trolling. If you studied me, you could eventually figure it out. But most of my trolls are too lazy to research beyond the tip of the iceberg which led to my trolls repeating lies they about me which would only take a second to debunk. I felt like I had more trolls at times than actual fans or friends. For more info, questions, feedback, join my Discord servers. I have more to say but I will continue writing some of this stuff other places as usual. Because I write many books worth of content all of my life. You can send your artificial intelligence or AI to give you outlines of my content and what not. But you have to always remind the AI that I've had hundreds to thousands of different accounts, channels, pages, groups, sock puppet alt accounts, personas, parodies, profiles, communities, entities, and so on and so forth, ask me about all of that if you dare. People are free to steal any of my like free content, you don't have to give me credit, do whatever you want. Timestamps generally in Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) unless otherwise noted. Welcome to my Oatmeal Daily which is generally posted & syndicated to different websites daily by me, Oatmeal Joey Arnold, feel free to mirror, edit, clip, reupload my content. For more information, see some of the links on this page or you can try to Google search or look me up using keywords like Oatmeal Joey Arnold @ joeyarnoldvn and other keywords. Try using different combinations of words in search engines for better results. Working on the DVD Gemini Bill project as usual for hours. I went to bed at like 06:30 AM. Woke up at around 12:00 PM. Worked on my Weekly Photos as usual and my Oatmeal Daily post. DVD work. Infowars. Look at Discord for a second. Furniture back into yard shed as it was raining lightly today, I was washing the shelves and stuff yesterday. Breakfast: 12:30 PM. Lunch: 02:03 PM. Dinner: 04:15 PM. Laundry. Vacuum. Dishes. Raining. Didn't spot big leaks in yard or garden sheds as it was raining, not sure why there was water on the floor in the yard shed but it was there for like months, might be many reasons why but not super wet, maybe a small spill of a water bottle kind of thing and not a super big problem. No mail. Weeding for a second. Coffee grounds dump by mom's room. Compost dump. Dig bury grounds and compost for a second. Mom watching Enterprise earlier and then Dick Van Dyke where he is arrested but the lady was a trouble maker and then Rob had a lawyer help him out of that jam and the guilty man I assume, he pretended his name was Rob, that made me laugh, mom said their sophisticated dialog and humor is captivating, I agree. Mom telling me about how she is learning how to preserve grapes, raspberries, cherries, various things, via like rum which sometimes didn't taste the best depending on how you do it or now she is talking about Brandy, she was talking about the challenges if one were to dilute the cocktail or whatever depending on how the wine is made. We talked about how oil is in cow milk in the form of fat. Food log: Breakfast: orange, 12:30 PM. Lunch: raisins on oatmeal, coffee, 02:03 PM. Strawberries, 02:26 PM. Dinner: beef roast on potatoes, 04:15 PM. Tea.
