Innovative, but not something I would want.

Happy belated birthday, @jon-nyc ! I hope you can relax and do something fun after all your traveling is finished! [image: 61Lvy-X0I6L.jpg]

Bobs red mill (had never heard of them, thanks) has interesting products, and looks like a company worth supporting. My coeliac sister will be getting some I'm sure. I think their steel cut oats will be similar to the jumbo oats I buy

I was a PC user. I then got heavily involved with Apple education with iPad so eventually got a Mac. It took some time to figure out how to do things on my Mac that I already knew how to do on PC. But once I learned those things, I found I far preferred Mac. Now I have to use Windows at work and I HATE IT. I find it is not as intuitive but also that there are so many things that Mac comes with that it just does better than Windows. For example, Mac’s “preview” program has elements of Adobe Acrobat built in. Stuff that you have to buy Acrobat to access on PC. I fell in love with using Mac by taking a class through Apple to become a trainer on MacBook. But similar courses are available at Apple Stores, and they also have online courses you can take. But until I had direct instruction in my Mac I didn’t realize how many cool things I was missing out on. I was just using it as an Internet machine (as well as using Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, which are included rather than being a separate purchase). Once I actually had someone teach me I became a huge fan.

Apple News drives me a little bonkers in their headlines for this news story. Any time this happens the headline is “French government collapses”. I live in a place where this exact same thing can and has happened and it is a FEATURE of our how government works. It’s actually a good thing that means folks have to cross the aisle to get things done. It’s not a “collapse” of government. Obviously the government in France is currently unstable - but the system is working as it was designed to work. /rant

Not so fast . . . https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-12207811 Astrologers say this shift in where the stars appear to be has no bearing on the "tropical zodiac" system. This is what is typically used for horoscopes in the West, and is based on segments of the sky calculated using the equinoxes on Earth.

@Axtremus aaaAAAAACCCCKKKK!

@Rontuner that second link worked, thank you. Shock and awe by the government on Americans...

Yep. Exactly what I said about ten posts up ...

Whoever tells me there is no genocide happening in Gaza and the West Bank is who I believe. * Rolls eyes *

I know who the three people here who are my age. I almost feel guilty about knowing that much. Age doesn't necessarily matter. You're aging gracefully. I'm trying!

I wish the hawks here would go after the rats I keep seeing on the bird cam. We've stopped feeding, and the dogs aggressively chase them down. We will not be using rat poison.
