@RealPlayer said: I harvested all the basil because it was getting down into the 40s and it wasn’t going to last much longer. But the parsley is lush, still going great guns (how can I use it all?) Rosemary, sage and tarragon still fine. I usually dry my parsley at the end of the season!

A dedicated music device is one of the best in ideas ever and it's a shame this protect category has been eliminated.

Who is paying her? I have no idea. /i

I read if you use an AI tool to make a banking transaction, and scam artists drain your bank account, banks have no legal liability. The theory is you authorized the AI function to be your agent, and if you are scammed by a criminal network, it's on you. I don't know.

I can't believe all the the races haven't called. An, no, the the AP is not the arbiter.

@wtg said: President Donald Trump offered UFC president and CEO Dana White the job of press secretary on Saturday. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: “I am pleased to announce that the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States.” “We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left,” Trump wrote. “Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” CNN, citing a source, reported White had declined the president’s offer. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/11/07/trump-ufc-dana-white-press-secretary-offer.html Well, she's an absolute tool. Her current job must pay more, or whatever.

The HOA raises your dues from $150 to $1,200 to $20,000 (all legal, at least in some states), over consecutive years, ruining the homeowner financially by rendering the market value of the house down to zero, while making the person(s) homeless simultaneously, scam, that was on local news in NC, I linked to in another thread, is also "something else".

That’s cool.

They had tarantula shit all over them?

This Walmart list will take days. The app is the app. You know. You have to choose the exact item. That can take an hour. Then you have to put it in your cart Then you have to put on your "save for later" list ...to have everything in one place And I shouldn't forget to add anything. And the figure = number of items- will be a lot. I hope I can start and finish before Mon. Probably by Tues or Wed evening more likely. "Multi-tasking"

My cat used to hate the neighborhood fireworks on the 4th of July. We had that in common.

Lucky to get severance period now.

It will be interesting to see how the Oxford Street initiative works out. Any number of cities, including Chicago, have tried various flavors of shutting down a major thoroughfare to vehicle traffic. They've met with varying degrees of success. https://chi.streetsblog.org/2013/03/11/why-was-the-state-street-pedestrian-mall-a-failure
