AI Whiskey Master
The 1440 Daily Report covered an interesting study regarding Artificial Intelligence’s ability emulate sensory perception and perform pretty darn well!.
| “A machine learning program was able to meet or outperform professional tasters in identifying whiskey notes, according to a new study. The demonstration marks a milestone in sensory perception using artificial intelligence. Data analysts tested their program on 16 whiskey samples (seven American, nine Scotch) previously categorized by 11 human experts. The program—using statistical models and neural networks—identified molecules in each whiskey and used them to predict the sample’s top five flavor notes. Researchers compared these findings against the top five flavor notes aggregated from human experts’ descriptions. This type of analysis has historically been challenging; while some chemical mixtures—like vanillin—are directly associated with a specific aroma, others—like whiskey—can rely on over 40 compounds. Notably, the program found molecules like menthol and citronellol unique to the American whiskeys and associated with “caramel-like” notes. Methyl decanoate and heptanoic acid, unique to Scotch whiskeys, were more likely to be associated with apple-like or solvent-like notes.” So is even better whiskey in our future? Will computers become alcoholics? – Jet Cannon |

Endorphins are neurotransmitters that can help seniors manage stress and pain, and improve their mood and sleep:

- Walking
- Swimming
- Yoga
- Gardening
- Weight training with dumbbells, ankle weights, resistance bands, or other equipment
- Laughter Deep, long-lasting belly laughs can boost endorphins
- Relaxation techniques Deep breathing, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided imagery can help reduce stress and improve sleep
- Social connections Regular social interaction with friends, family, and community groups can provide emotional support and a sense of belonging
- Other activities Eating chocolate, saliva-inducing foods like ice cream and French fries, or adding a little spice to meals can also release endorphins
Other ways to increase endorphins include:
- Breathing in lavender or using it as an essential oil

Fumbled Football
When your team scores a touchdown… Shot of tequila! And when the team misses that last second field goal to tie the game… Shot of something else. Spoon University suggests several beverages to soften the loss. Chamomile tea if no suitable tranquilizer is available. A Starbucks Double Chocolate Moga because why not? A Dark ‘n Stormy rum and ginger beer cocktail might feel right. Then there’s always lukewarm leftover beer. Until next week…. Cheers!
Out The Wazoo
BuzzFeed shared some Boomer phrases that we are apparently known to employ. Here are a few that we need to renew if we’ve stopped using them. They’re what make us Buzzed Boomers uniquely us.
“So, what’s the damage” when you get the check at a restaurant.
“I’m videoing this.”
Saying “Lemme ask you something” before asking a question.
The phrase “That’s the million dollar question.”
Saying “pot” instead of “weed.”
The phrase “I guess you hated it” when someone finishes their meal.
Saying you’re going to “zap” something when you microwave it.
The word “widget.”
The phrase “Out the Wazoo,”
And lastly, calling a remote control a “clicker.”

Plane Drinking
We just read an article in National Geographic about alcohol having heightened and generally worse effects when flying than when on the ground. You’ve probably heard that before. We’ll sum up what they said about flying and drinking. Don’t overdue it.
We’ll try to remember that.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E
Rest In Peace David McCallum. His acting and musical credits are impressive but we will always remember him as Illya Kuryakin whose cool demeanor, physical proficiency with any weapon, and passion for art, music and science – not to mention his wealth of blonde hair – made him an immediate favorite among female viewers, whose fan mail to the actor was the most ever received in the history of MGM, which produced the show.
