Agreed.

People have a hard time admitting animals are sentient let alone intelligent.

We have friends in Holland,MI - not far from that pileup. They said not much snow today, but crazy blowing and hard to see!

This was on ATK today. We are not big beef eaters but we may make an exception to try this. Link to video https://wskg.org/arts/2020-05-28/americas-test-kitchen-beef-top-loin-roast-with-potatoes-ep-2017

Interesting piece about how some foods we eat enhance the nutritional value of others. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260116-black-pepper-and-olive-oil-the-ingredients-that-super-charge-the-nutrients-you-get-from-food

I know what he should do! Investigate the BIS! I mean why stop now? How absurd.

Now think about how many will get AI to generate a synopsis for that MIT report so they can get the salient points quickly, and how much energy that will use.

@Big_Al said in Hunting a house in Helena: This article made me think of a forum member. Me, too. As did this BBC article about the ten most sustainable US towns and why they're worth a visit. Missoula was one of them. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20260115-10-of-the-uss-most-sustainable-small-towns Popular place, that state.

This was like two months ago. But yeah he’s foul. On the bright side, his spokesbitch walked it back. This episode netted out (so far) with the DUI hire in the pentagon going after Mark Kelly’s pension.

Mik, I forgot my best comparison-- VW and Porsche. https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/carrera -models/911-carrera/#change-model Well, the father designed the VW for Mr. You Know Who and the son designed the 911. I'd have my used Hyundai, an Audi S5, a base model 911, and a truck, probably a Ford 150. I'm good at wanting things I can't afford. I'd have hese vehicles or similar and live in the Grade 1 listed tower house Andy showed me. You think I'm kidding. I'm really not. But if I had all the money in the world I think I'd move to Switzerland. 1/4 of my family is from there. They were peasant farmers who came to America and ended up owning their own farms in Indiana. My grandfather's inheritance was a fraction of his family's farm. It was the beginning of generational wealth in my family because he kept his inheritance his whole life. The only thing he bought with it was a Ford Model T. Lol! I do have a "rich uncle" (and a rich aunt actually) but but they aren't going to leave me anything. They hate my guts because their mother dared to give me $1 instead of giving it to them. I need to start playing the lottery.

@wtg said in Thoughts on portable electric heaters: @Daniel said in Thoughts on portable electric heaters: I considered buying a small indoor propane heater Those give me headaches. I would avoid. It would seem that the words “propane” and “indoor” should not appear next to each other.

The Nobel Committee has retaliated against Trump and what's her name. Or that video was AI in which case ignore.

Usually but last night there was a first piece, not worth mentioning, that was for orchestra only. So they wheeled it out mid way through. I’m sure it was tuned right off stage before the event started.
