    The other thing it will do is drive more young folks into the trades, which we badly need.

    I have often wished for the ability to record and playback smells, and many times felt grateful that we don't have that ability.

    Yes, much too large for us. And I'm thinking it would take several housekeepers and a bunch of gardeners to maintain to the high standard of the current owners. But fun to imagine living there!

    they say you can’t edit your photo , which is true, but you can edit the background of the photo. I found some online tool to edit the texture out of the wall behind me, but didn’t alter my face. Unfortunately.

    Ax is right, there will be more of these. A lot of that will come from the fact that thorough testing has become rather a lost art. Things get tested, but in most cases not rigorously. Back when dinosaurs did the programming, we were dedicated to trying very hard to break whatever we coded. That doesn't happen very much anymore. You see a lot of this in online systems where if you color outside the lines at all you're screwed. It doesn't recover or catch it.

    It is everywhere. Janet was in grocery wholesaling for 10 plus years. Not a good industry for nice people. The competition is fierce and the players venal.
