@ShiroKuro A somewhat irreverent singing "comedian". Not my cup of tea. His schtick gets old rather quickly.

Marble House, Newport Link to video Caim to fame- childhood home of Consuelo Vanderbilt, Her Grace The Dutchess of Marlborough. Doesn't do it for me at all, not the exterior, not the interior. Narrator attributes it as an homage to the Petit Trianon. https://www.chateauversailles.fr/decouvrir/domaine/domaine-trianon/petit-trianon In any case, everything the Petite Trianon is- Marble House is the opposite, imho.

I've decided I'll leave my current (sic) one plugged in when I'm at home and awake. I've rearranged what is plugged in to what power strips and extension cords also.

Daniel said: Yes, moving. Thanks, people. New skit about my alma mater. Link to video He/ they continue to find ways to fulfill their destructive mission. DeDantis called it (it that de facto is no longer extant) "Marxist" and "a Marxist commune". This isn't ignorance. It's beyond ignorance. It's venality.

I've decided to buy a Danby 1.8 Canada FTW! It's apartment sized Perfect for me Won't miss the noise the Amana made either Thought would be $500 + 15 years of inflation+ tay-tariff premium because of trade war No. $379. at Home Depot

Carlos back in the game. A legend in his lifetime at 23. .

@Steve-Miller Well, some people might do it for the sexting... https://www.wired.com/story/i-got-my-muse-ai-agent-to-sext-me-and-meta-says-thats-totally-fine/

Definitely showing my age...

I had two for a while - a Yamaha U1-Silent Piano - and a regular grand piano. I sold the Yamaha when I didn't think I needed to worry about the disturbing a roommate, but then for the same reasons, I bought a digital piano where I can use headphones.

Daniel said: It's dropped to 4.87 Oh the humanity It's risen to 4.88. I'm not making this up. I guess 5's will pull it back up. I remember only 3 problems in 10 years. 1 was the crazy driver who demanded I give him exact directions as if that weren't his job, couldn't find the drop off, demanded I get out in some strange, vast parking lot, miles from nowhere, I literally refused, he glanced up and found the location, and then started cursing at me, but that was a couple years ago. The other 2 were the gate issue. I'm hoping I get back to at least 4.9. 🤪

I've read the posts, and I'm still having trouble thinking of a "big box store" as a meeting place, but I'm glad it works for you, @wtg

Yes, that is a very odd electoral map to contemporary eyes.

I’ve avoided them too, sort of. I bought a window AC over a decade ago that you could connect to WiFi and control with an app but I never did either. I’ve inherited a couple when I bought this house - a front combo lock I can program via my phone (I can set a temporary one-time code for a tradesman, for example). And I think my thermostat has such capabilities that I’ve never configured. My car has an app that allows me to remotely start it. I like that when it’s very hot or cold out. Really more when it’s very cold out.

Thanks, Al! I have played most of the games on that list (and am familiar with all of them). Daybreak is one of our absolute favourites, and we have had Splendor for over a decade and still play it frequently!

@wtg interesting! Good luck to them! I’ve seen photos of coconut crabs. Terrifying creatures!!
