    I remember Chun King, HiHo, and French's Worcestershire. And I loved Uneeda Biscuits.

    Lots of fake reviews on Amazon now. So many that pretty much anything gets a 4.5 star rating. If it gets less than that it’s likely trash. My workaround is to read only 3, 2, and 1 star ratings - the ones that bring the rating down to 4.5 stars. If the reasons for low ratings don’t matter to me (you can’t please everyone) then I’ll probably buy it. If they do matter (generally reasons/photos involving smoke, fire, or rapid disintegration), I’ll pass. I suppose it’s possible that competitors hire out for negative reviews but that doesn’t seem real common. Another workaround is to scroll down some 20 pages before comparing what’s on offer. The product mix changes completely and the number of reviews drops considerably.

    #3 is interesting to me as a daughter plans to live in Hokkaido. Lots of snow, but a very beautiful island.

    At this point in my life, I think it’s what’s holding my brain together. I can sense SO much of what’s going on! Analysis, problem solving, spatial reckoning, emotional content, small muscle coordination, etc. So glad it’s a daily resource

    Link to video Yes, of course. Why wouldn't they? Ok, some kind of music by someone sometime soon. I need to get back on track.

    Data entry error showed incorrect results in race for Florida's 26th Congressional District, AP says - CBS Miami https://share.google/2LStdkuXcvKA6obXo She "saw some numbers pop up". And the election is reversed, in favor of the Republican, in Florida. I don't know how many people are stupid and how stupid they are that CBS and Bari Weiss can get away with this S. But pretty damn stupid.
  • Good reason not to have wifi on your refrigerator

    I've decided not to have WIFI period. I don't want the police to be easily and without a warrant be able to see holographic images of me in my home in real time. That's creepy AF. I closed my account. My phone records my location and listens to me 24/7, but at least I can make sure the camera is not pointed at me if I want. Cold comfort but at least it's something.

    @RealPlayer said: The Fluxus Artist/Composer Dick Higgins died while performing one of his own pieces whose instructions are: “Scream as loud as you can for as long as you can.” My Fluxus piece was a compact disc hanging in a bird cage. There were no instructions.

    @RealPlayer said: Thanks, Ron. I was aware of the push for bigger sound (cross-stringing, bigger soundboards) but never heard of key flare. Is that the “bend” in the key stick like what you see in clavichords? Correct!

    Link to video Is Beatrice a robot? Does Beatrice have a robot double? Signs point to No (that's a bridge too far) but she is certainly a strange person. Don't come at me with She has a medical condition. I don't care. She's very strange. Talk is she and her sister will be stripped of their titles. The sooner the better. They're grifters like their mother. Eugenie is the one who set up Harry with Meghan. She's got no judgement whatsoever. She's extremely stupid.
