    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.

    To experience singing at its highest level, with the edgiest, most sophisticated new music and sexiest and coolest singers, the place to be is the ukulele group at the Reno adult education center… unless you’ve sat around with a bunch of 70-year-olds, singing Gene Autry and Beatles songs have you really experienced music?

    @AdagioM I did! This is after I'd cut it up the front and knit one of the button bands and new collar, but had not yet sewn the buttons on. They were just placed here to see how they'd look. (It turns out I'm going to re-do the button hole band and use bigger buttons.) This poor sweater! It's been through so much. I wasn't pleased with the drape as a pull-over, I love the drape as a cardigan but the button bands need re-working. It's had attacks from moths which I've patched. And I wish I hadn't made it quite so roomy. No matter, it's basically an "at home" cardigan. I do love the pattern and it's very warm. [image: 1763006619596-9201.jpg]

    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.

    @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.

    Don’t you have to approve tap to pay? Mine won’t pay unless I either unlock with face id, or type in my lock code.

    He went and was photographed kissing the ring of the son of George Soros. Publicly available photograph. Any time I have invested emotion in a politician it has been a fool's errand. Never got on this train. Never going to have to get off. Marginally better than most but billionaires and status quo forces aligned against change point to gridlock. My 2 cents. At least he understands many of his voters were in fact Jewish and he presumably understands the difference between Judaism and Zionism.
