    Finally. On Tuesday, a Lake Tahoe-based non-profit called Bear League stepped in to help Johnson by shooting at the bear with paintball guns, which drove it from under the house. “I couldn’t believe it was so fast,” Johnson told KTLA. “These guys went in, they crawled in behind him and, boom, he was out.” The bear tried to come back two days later but was met with a deterrent – an electrified mat that covered the crawl space’s entrance, according to KTLA. Johnson added that since the bear’s removal, he’s been able to assess the damage it left, which includes a ruptured gas line. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/09/bear-under-california-home-evicted

    I have a couple email addresses, but I don’t use them with their interface. They come to my Outlook or iOS mailboxes. But I suppose I have to go in and tell them I don’t want them to use AI to “assist” me?

    @Axtremus said in What’s more weird?: I wonder what the American Enterprise Institute or the Heritage Foundation or the Chamber of Commerce think of this. Heritage would say "Gee your ass is yummy, Mr President". AEI and CoC would pan it politely.

    The Calphalon will probably be my choice. I like stainless steel and it's not coated with non-stick chemicals. There’s also the safety factor. Just have to mention it because this silly argument appears in almost every article about induction stove tops. Over millenia, human kind has learned to cook with open fire and has learned that it's hot and therefore one doesn't reach across an open flame or place one's hands on a hot stove top. Of the burns I've ever experienced while cooking, they were all the result of a hot pan, not a hot stove. Sure, induction stove tops don't get hot therefore they are safer in that regard, but it's not that big a deal.

    @CHAS Ha! I have never seen the movie, but that clip came up as I was perusing other movie dance scenes. Glad you posted it. What a delight!

    In addition to the idiot real estate agent, I’m surprised NYT chose this unit, and included this photo. I didn’t read through all the comments but a lot of people are commenting on it in the comments as well. At the very least NYT could have mentioned it in the “pros and cons” part, instead of just this: CONS Only the garden-level unit has access to the backyard. Pretty sure “bed bugs” is a more noteworthy-worthy con…
