@wtg said in Japan's Demographic Problems: I don't have an iPhone or Apple Watch, but my understanding is that the Apple Watch has a decent fall detection function. If it thinks you've fallen, it will call emergency services and up to five people you've designated. I got my mother an Apple Watch (maybe last year?) specifically for this reason. We also recently set up location sharing so I can see where her phone is as well. I like the idea of having a system with neighbors or friends. Eventually we’ll need that. First we need to make some more friends in our new town. Steve, that apartment complex sounds wonderful! My mother is planning to move to our town next year, I wish I could find a place like that for her.

Done.

Thanks, guys.

When I Googled the Riemann hypothesis, among other things I found this reponse to the question "Who solved the Riemann hypothesis?" Has anyone solved the Riemann hypothesis? - Quora A person named Vladimir Blinovsky claimed he proved the Riemann hypothesis. Feb 16, 2023 I wonder if this is an example of an AI hallucination or just an example of the untrustworthy nature of Interntet information. Big Al

I hit the thrift stores at least once a week - more if I can - looking for board games. I have found some amazing deals, and lots and lots of copies of Trivial Pursuit and Scattergories

@wtg no, after all our discussions here! I decided that he's in business for himself, he sets his rates... I hope that's ok. (Let's see if he comes back... I did give him some cherry ginger ale after he finished. @Rontuner thanks for all your PMS and support!! Now that I'm done yelling, I wrote a longer report, here: https://wtf.coffee-room.com/topic/209/piano-tuning-report

@AdagioM said in SCOTUS 2024: Is it immunity on all levels, or only for federal crimes? The payoff was made while he was in office; the arrangements were made before, I think. Was signing those checks an official act? Cohen got reimbursed in 2017, but I think the transfer of the money to Cohen's Essential Consultants LLC in October is part of the conspiracy, so that was pre-presidency. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-hush-money-trial-case-evidence-michael-cohen-payment-2024-5?op=1

Ax!!

Went under contract a couple of days after it went on the market. I'm not surprised.

We should have a thread about the nastiest, most heart-attack-inducing weird regional food from your area. I thought nothing could out-nasty a Rochester NY garbage plate, but I was clearly wrong LOL!

She gave me a bunch of forget-me-nots that blooms every other year, and it's going strong again this year!

Funny - just drove back from The Lou today. (I guess they call it that. Cardinals have it on their uniforms).
