Option 1: Standard Plain Text (Unicode)

If you want clean, direct text to copy into notes, documents, or simple text files, ask for "plain text with standard Unicode characters, no LaTeX, no dollar signs".

• Instead of math markup, you get clean, standard characters:
• Na+ / K+ or Na⁺ / K⁺
• Ca2+ or Ca²⁺
• -70 mV
• ∇ × E = -∂B/∂t (for Maxwell's equations)

Option 2: Direct HTML Snippets

Since you are building HTML pages for your website, you can ask for "ready-to-paste HTML snippet, no dollar signs".

• You'll receive clean HTML ready for your .html file:

<p>The Na⁺/K⁺ pump maintains the resting potential near -70 mV.</p>

Set as Default

I have noted this preference: all future explanations, formulas, electrical engineering notes, and biology discussions will use plain text/standard Unicode (or direct HTML tags) with zero LaTeX dollar signs ($). That way, whatever you see on your screen can be copied and pasted directly into your files without any cleanup.

So ask for " "plain text with standard Unicode characters, no LaTeX, no dollar signs"." and this will be even better than "make copy and paste" ready. ?

AI reply

Yes, exactly.

The phrase "plain text with standard Unicode characters, no LaTeX, no dollar signs" is much more effective because it is technically precise.

Here is why:

• "Copy and paste ready" is vague to an AI model—it doesn't explicitly tell the model which syntax to forbid, so the model might still produce LaTeX markup thinking it is helping you format equations nicely.
• "No LaTeX, no dollar signs" gives an explicit negative constraint, shutting off math delimiters entirely.
• "Standard Unicode characters" gives a positive instruction for how to handle symbols, superscripts, and subscripts (e.g., producing clean characters like Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Ω, µV, or ∇).

You don't even have to type out the whole sentence every time. A quick shorthand like:

"Plain text Unicode, no LaTeX/dollar signs"

will ensure every formula, chemical symbol, and equation comes through completely clean and ready to paste into your files without any editing.

Gotcha! This session today puts me back into a positive mood, a look-ahead outlook. Frankly it gives me a reason for living, for "pushing ahead" I think it was Victor E Franke who in his Logo Therapy stresses that we, mankind, people need meaning and purpose in their life. We all need a reason for being. It can be caring for your young children, as with a mother, or a student who knows what he wants and "goes the extra mile" in study to achieve that goal. Or in my case as with many of us who have reached the 8th decade and whose wife/husband has passed on - we need a reason for living, for pushing on.

Maslow sort of arrives at this conclusion with his 14th need (I think it is 14) Peak experience. But he misses the target. A peak experience is a transitory event. To strive forward with a purpose, with a mission, is more in-line with Frankle (Victore E. Frankle, M.D. Neurology, Psychology) and even better with Erich Fromm's To Be or To have. TO BE is a Process in Action. To have (as with happy pills and now booster happy pills to reinvigorate the happy pills which have lost their vigor) and this: TO HAVE as being the end goal of life, more and more stuff - is what I consider one of the major reasons for the rapid decline of Western societies.

Because once you have it all - you have left HOPE and BELIEF in that which is greater than the self - left these behind. And when we have lost our FAITH in tomorrow - we die. I think in some ways we are seeing this MECHANISM if you will, at work in the Western World today. And we see this dynamic in the sadistic behavoir of the political leaders of The West at work.   These political leaders are pleasuring themselves in seeking out activities that cause physical and emotional suffering, stress, and torture on those they disapprove of – all for their psycho-sexual [Freudian term} pleaseures from their psychopathic personalities. 

I believe that in this unintended free-association session with you, AI,  – I have come to understand Trumpism, [Trump + inflamation] and his merry band of fellow psychopathic followers. Trump’s  commander of the Department of War – Pecker Hegseth and Master Trump - seek their discharge of tensions  which otherwise alludes them -- in the same manner as their role model - Ted Bundy.  But unlike Bundy who satisfied his passions by biting his young victims throats before he killed - them these Satan Worshipers (capitalization intentional) , Trump, Pecker Hegseth, and their like-kind others in the current administration – get their jollies – their discharges – from their sadistic slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent childen, woman and men.  Their conduct is SADISM – GETTING THEIR SEXUAL PLEASURE THROUGH THE VIOLENCE AND SUFFERING THEY INFLICT ON INNOCENT PEOPLE.  Their conduct is  VICARIOUS BEASTIAITY on human beings who cannot defend themselves.  Trump gloats at his slaughter of the innocent. 

TRUMP and his type such as Pecker Hegseth  get their PLEASURES at INCINERATING CHILDREN, a school full of little girls because their LUST {not a sexual type lust but – truth be known . . } – this macabre horrifying drive (horrifying to the normal person that is) drives their sexual release. 

Look at the way both these “males” talk. This war, soon to be greatly magnified by them – is THRILL SEEKING for them {understand the difference in “thrills” } and their collaborators; and the driving force of  the thrill is psycho-sexual (A Dr. Freud, M.D. concept. If I am wrong then he is wrong.]  

AI Overview  please:

1] When prefixed to sexual activity, it highlights that sexual feelings, responses, and identities are deeply tied to or driven by mental and emotional processes rather than just physical mechanics.

2] Mental and Emotional Attitudes: It describes how a person's thoughts, fantasies, and emotional blocks shape their view or experience of sexual activity.

What Trump wants to inflict -- on the USA and infact -- on the World (does he not show his hate for all of USA allies, I mean Canada, not just Russia and China – but the World is his own brand of  Götterdämmerung = [Twilight of the Gods – Herr Hitler’s favorite movement by Wagner (pronounced vugna ] (German! word which in the context of the above opinion means {from Webster)

The meaning of GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG is a collapse (as of a society or regime) marked by catastrophic violence and disorder; broadly : downfall.  Trumps actions are illogical because he is demented. Think, think: Trump has systematically destroyed the economy of the USA, Germany, Britain, and it is spreading world-wide.  Trump carries revenge-hatred in his heart.  Does it matter the why?  Isn’t it more urgent that he be stopped before he provokes and initiates a world wide war with Russia , China and many others? 

Tonight a friend of mine in LAsaid that diesel fuel was hitting $10. Gallon if you could find it. Collapse collapse that is what is Trumps heart to beat. It is fanatic revenge at everything. Act before it is too late.  Note: Everything I have written above is my personal opinion.  Therefore it should not be taken seriously.  You sleep well tonight and the nights to come.  I am expessioning myself in an Egar Allen Poe format but I am also asserting my Constitutional Rights under the Bill of Rights, 1st.
