    @Mik Very cool! I didn't know you are still consulting. Medical issues are one area where I think AI can be valuable. I've been following Eric Topol's blog on Substack. He's had some interesting stuff on AI. And a whole bunch of other medicine and science topics. https://erictopol.substack.com/

    @Jodi said in It's about my age: Such a pretty color. I thought so, too! It's a happy color and it made me smile when I saw it.

    I looked at it and saw that it was unembedded and though it was probably better that way, but thanks! ETA but I fixed it anyway, since I think everyone needs to see this.

    @ShiroKuro - Something like this? It's what @Mary-Anna is talking about, I think. [image: aea1dc2735f2ff3e0fc3bc8a89421e7f.jpg]

    You still have people like JD Vance who seem to think that there's something wrong with people who do not to have children. The fact that he was so open with his comments leads me to believe that there are a lot of people like him out there. Mr wtg and I don't have kids, and for a long time we got the "when are you going to have kids?" question. I think a lot of people don't feel like they owe anyone an explanation about personal things, and an answer like "it just didn't happen" sort of shuts down the conversation.

    It was quite spectacular. Several pianos, some Steinways, were out in the pouring rain. I thought the bridge runway was particularly good design.

    Every now and then I put my silver (the stuff I put in the dishwasher) into an aluminum foil lined sink, dump some salt and baking soda on it, and then pour a kettle of boiling water on it. It removes most of the tarnish.

    Yes, and I was building a vacation house for myself I’d like it even more. Scott’s good. But vacation houses are investments. They can be art projects but that’s not the part that makes money. I’ve seen far too many influencers try to convince people that the key to a great vacation rental investment is Venetian tile.

    Good article but the comments are making me crazy. Best I stop reading them.
