@wtg said: Bad news. A raven seems to have breached the nest and cracked both of the eggs. ... I'm reminded of the Melody Gardot song-- The Bad News has Arrived for some reason. Check out this video, "melody gardot the bad news has arrived https://share.google/IxHIPGR6dCMiiY39c

️ The stamps were my favorite.

Technology has also revolutionized baseball pitching. Pitchers today are much better than in the past, and harder to hit.

Well I'm not eating candy again. I'm going to watch the whole video because a woman breaks down all the test results and gives alternatives to various products.

The anti-hooning candidate!

Happy Birthday!

That's wonderful!

Btw, this is my latest real estate find. It's been for sale for 3 days. I've saved the listing. My sister-in-law and I are making a spreadsheet. Well, actually, she's making a spreadsheet. I'm only giving her data. Of course, it's too early to tell if this will be a viable possibility. I especially like the floors. They are all either stone or hardwood. Laundry hook-ups. 3rd floor. Elevator. Concrete block on concrete slab, c. 1972. 2205 Belleair Rd Apt A35, Clearwater, FL 33764 [Updated 4/23] https://share.google/WoavJjXFVHkC2lWez I could easily live here. I doubt it will happen but we'll see.

Florida migration boom fades as rising costs push residents out - Axios Tampa Bay https://share.google/nYXcRq7rCyLT5tyts Real estate prices here according to one source (don't remember where I heard it), are projected to change 0.0% in 2006, after years of climbing prices. This isn't what I'm observing in my area. I'm seeing prices decline in real time. Moreover, buyers are getting discounts off of asking. The renovated place I wanted in my area of the city was listed for 99k. It sold for 89k. People aren't buying. The economy is getting worse for various reasons. Energy when factored into inflation will make it still worse. People don't have the income. They don't have the savings. They aren't optimistic about the economy. Everyone seems to agree that many people will lose their homes, and unlike in 2008, this time it will be institutional investors and cash buyers who will be able to afford to buy. I mean I think the situation in general is a mess.

It's all Greek to me.

@Daniel Actually, I don't think it's all dumb. I think calling it intelligence is dumb, and insulting to mankind. But the problem is the way AI is being developed and enveloping society by a handful of tech corporations, some of whom are showing clear signs of fascism. Congress should do its duty and put the brakes on AI until a clear understanding of its damaging effects is better understood. What negative side effects will AI bring? What danger will it pose to the safety of citizens? How can it be controlled by other than the profit seeking sector? The power in this country belongs to the people, not corporations who will do anything for power and money.

Ron, I don't, actually. I used to have Spectrum in my name. My roommate paid the account, ran up the bill, and they shut it off (and sent a bill in my name to a collection agency). That was a long time ago. I'll make a note of your suggestion. Thanks. Mik, I had no idea. Thanks.

Good article!

It is a great photo!

How can anyone do that at 91?!

Well, assuming they made no scientific mistake, and a living thing lived for 24,000 years, or came back to life after being frozen for 24,000 year... is this meant to be about the idea that deceased human beings might be frozen (they are being frozen) and brought back to life in the future? I've always thought this idea was macabre, and I do not believe it is possible or will ever be possible. Imo, these matters or only decided by God (or by the Universe, if you like).

Interesting. I don't think we've been told the full truth about Fukushima, btw. I don't think we ever will be told the full truth about it.
