Wow! Talk about taking "pay it forward" to heart!!

@wtg said in Biocomputers: The computers that run on human brain cells It's just a matter of time before we're all connected into the Matrix, I guess.

Very interesting. In Hawaii, part of Maui (a large piece of land, actually) is a sanctuary for native plants and animals. There are experts who have catalogued every type of bird to the point they know when there are only a few of one type left and when a type (species?-- I'm not sure) goes extinct. It's very intense.

Maybe they still call it “beer” merely for marketing; something like this may not “stand out” at all if it’s marketed as mere “hard liquor.”

@Steve-Miller said in US missing people with 'certain talents': Seems to me Melania came over on an H1B visa. Not sure what her skills might be. Melanie came over to the U.S. first with a tourist visa, then later she obtained an H1-B visa, then later an E1-B visa before she became a U.S. citizen. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-43256318

Like this one. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/kitchen-sink-cookies/ Or maybe just salt like this one: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019152-salted-chocolate-chunk-shortbread-cookies?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share Or this one https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/salty-sweet-butter-pecan-cookies-recipe

I keep mine in my small sling/ belly bag but I need something else too. I've lost three phones in six months. It's hell when it happens.

@Steve-Miller That is a Grand Grill (not an upright)

I thought the child of the UK upper class would need (I'm using the word loosely) a nanny. Tutor? Impossible. I didn't read the article but it seems these people are grasping.

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

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/

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.

@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.

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.

The golden age of internet platforms has been over for a long time.
