Great article, well worth reading. Thanks!

It’s good to have pets you could eat in a pinch.

@Piano-Dad said in Happy birthday, jon-nyc!!: Happy belated, Jon. My wife's birthday is today. THE 9/11 was her 40th. What a downer. Birthdays are random, but geez. My college girlfriend had that birthday (she was a day younger than me). I remember about a week after 9/11 thinking ‘this kinda sucks for her).

Interesting. I tried to get Janet to stop at a Sheetz Sunday when we wanted a bite, but she declined, and we went to an Arby's with an overwhelming sewer smell and a young lady ralphing in the bathroom.

Oh yeah!

Yep. It's why I decided to skip the State Farm deal for ADT security. Free basic system and installation and a reduced rate for monitoring. But you have to allow ADT to share your data with State Farm. I was like....wtf? We did do the State Farm Ting deal for the gizmo that monitors your home electrical system, but as I recall, the privacy notice said Ting does not share any data with other parties, not even State Farm.

I worked right by there in Old Brooklyn but never made it.

I feel like this is what the Internet was invented for.

Ha! Finally a no-paywall version: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/1904-waddy-b-wood-house-on-the-market-for-nearly-4-million/ar-AA1pHFRJ Eta: oops...I see I already posted that free link.....

I find that once you start volunteering the opportunities to volunteer more just pour in. I’m the board chair of our Foundation with lots of volunteer roles under that, I’m on the Public Advisory Roundtable of the American Thoracic Society, I’m co-director of a public-private partnership between Industry and the FDA advancing drug development tools in my rare disease, and I sit on the data safety monitoring boards of two different NIH studies. All this five years after first getting involved. But I wouldn’t call myself a ‘supercitizen’. Those seem like more local community star volunteers. When we moved to my suburb a decade ago I had thoughts of getting involved locally. That doesn’t seem likely anymore. In my particular case my experience is better focused on beating this disease.

@wtg said in Neuroarchitecture: So many restaurants seem to be total noise machines. Tall ceilings, hard floor and wall materials, and loud music. I've had trouble talking to people at the same table. Most unpleasant. Yep, I dislike that immensely. I really don’t get the appeal. And it seems like restaurants with this problem are increasingly common too. There are restaurants we’ve gone to and they were so loud, we just never go back, regardless of how good the food is.

I saw that. He was such an icon. RIP

Excellent!
