I’ve added Christmas music, from USA, France, Japan, South Korea, and Dutch on recent JETLAG RADIO podcasts. Be sure to enjoy.

Don’t worry, I will work on LAMBDA RADIO and QUANTUM RADIO soon. It has been tough because I am trying to explain and fix a problem, and I cannot without a brand-new #GermanEngineering or #JDM vehicle in my possession. Next week is Christmas, I have no income, no money for gifts, nor is it likely that I receive a new car. I need a Christmas Miracle. I did not win the DreamGiveAway car, nor the SpeedSociety and the 80Eighty contests. All that’s left is the 2 TUNERCULT contests. I gotta win either the Lambo or the GTR. Let’s hope so.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Tuesday, December 17th, 2024. This is the week before the week of Christmas Eve/Day. Everybody is running around the Company trying to save it, as Intel Corp has two new Interim CEOs until a new CEO is announced. I can’t wait to be part of the plan, if only I am allowed to. As a Project Manager, with a Company car, a coffee card, and a credit card. Let’s save those former-co-workers and while those jobs are now useless, let’s train them on new jobs that involve AI and ML. This tactic has been very successful with SAP. Instead of firing 10,000 people, they retrained them to work in conjunction with AI. The clock is ticking. We have until next week. Let’s save the Company, also, someone please get a hold of Jean-Marc Mensah, he’s busy at NASA, and if he does not answer his phone soon, I’m gonna tell Christopher Nolan to film the INTERSTELLAR TRILOGY before the TENET TRILOGY since we might lose the planet due to the TRUMP TRILOGY (Dictatorship).
