    Not sure I should be surprised. I thought it's well established that sleep duration is not the same as sleep quality. There has got to be better comparisons than to sleep duration.

    In New York harbor it’s about more than shells. Oyster farming has come back in a big way. . It’s partly a method of having oysters clean the water, but oysters were a significant food source here decades ago.

    @CHAS said: Hope you have a great time and that you post pictures on your return. We were going there until Bob has some trouble. I’m sorry to hear that. I hope at some point you can revisit that plan. And you remind me I need to write up an Italy post with photos. I’ll try to get that done this week!

    @Jodi said: Klaus has done some housekeeping on the other forum because of that. Yea, they've had hundreds and hundreds of bogus accounts for years. When this was just the backup site the registration didn't require admin approval and we had a zillion spam accounts, too. I deleted them when we moved over here as the permanent WTF, and @axtremus changed registration to require approval. The only hiccup that I'm aware of is that I rejected @marchant twice, not realizing that it was Ballyhoo with a new name.

    @wtg wow!! That’s a lot of drama, and a lot of noise, to then still be able to have that morning coffee. I’m not confident we would have the same positive experience here!

    It’s shocking how many people (and seemingly those who can least afford it) already behave this way. I’ve heard many people talk about how with their plan plan they “get to upgrade in one more year” or whatever. The implication being as soon as they’ve paid off one phone they “get to” buy another one. Having said that the component cost increase is quite real. Strange though because we generally expect consumer electronics to be relentlessly driven down in cost over time. I buy my phones outright from the Apple Store. Hopefully memory gets cheaper by the time I need to replace Mayla’s, she’s a bit of an instagram queen and needs the max memory on hers.

    I see even Speed Queen is going to electronic controls on some models, but they still have some with mechanical dials. Like this one: https://www.abt.com/Speed-Queen-Top-Load-Washer-3.2-Cu.-Ft.-in-White-AWN632SP116TW02/p/158384.html

    AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees Oracle laid off ~13% of its staff to fund a $300B computing deal with OpenAI. Now, a credit downgrade and $7B in required power grid guarantees put the massive project in jeopardy. https://www.jpost.com/business-and-innovation/tech-and-start-ups/article-903442 On, Wisconsin!
