All that pressure for your kid to not be like you. Jesus. The kid may end up rebelling and the last thing he will want to be is a British gentleman.

I've had a sale ring up and put my card close to the screen. That's all it took. It seems like cards are broadcasting data?

I'm a Congregationalist so I don't qualify. I will say one thing. "Lament" was a good word choice.

I just started reading “The Satanic Verses” by Salmon Rushdie. I’m finding it hard to read. I’m going to take a pause from it and get a Cliff’s Notes Study Guide booklet for this book before going back to reading it.

@AdagioM My first steek was secured with a sewing machine. Slow and easy, wide foot. It went OK.

How many are young girls? <run away>

Yeah, no thanks. I do have a wrist strap on mine so I don’t drop it while using it. I also have a long cross-body lanyard ($10) for when I have no pockets or purse. That’s plenty.

I know a few that have joined the SoundsGood choirs. It appears to be just in the Chicago area. All levels welcome and they even have a group for memory-care singers. It is getting lots of seniors to sing again! https://soundsgoodchoir.org/about/

Nice find. I'll give that cleaner a try.

@wtg said in It's either time to stock up...: @jon-nyc said in It's either time to stock up...: Apparently it's only some brands. Yea, but it's basically all the big ones. @jon-nyc said in It's either time to stock up...: (We could all do with less pasta anyway.) Speak for yourself. I'm among the exceptions. I'm constantly battling to put weight on and I burn crazy calories exercising.

Over the legality or lack thereof is more to the point.

AI is seriously flawed and seriously dangerous if they cannot control it. Some FB influencers posted fake news about the UPS crash, concerning people who were supposedly on board. The guy over at Pilot Debrief decided to see if it was true and AI said it was true citing the fake posts on FB as proof. That is totally unacceptable. And I've encountered sheer stupidity coming from AI. It will only ever be a benefit if it is licensed out for use with strict controls on who can be licensed and how it is used.

“The door opens outwards”

@Piano-Dad That's what I've heard too.

@Amanda Wow that’s super interesting! I remember, a few years after I started playing piano, I was trying to get a score for happy birthday and that’s when I learned about the copyright. I remember something about it struck me as odd… maybe this was it. ??

Lol. My mobile home doesn't have insulation (some do-- installed after manufacturing). It gets up to 120.
