I know what he should do! Investigate the BIS! I mean why stop now? How absurd.

Now think about how many will get AI to generate a synopsis for that MIT report so they can get the salient points quickly, and how much energy that will use.

@Big_Al said in Hunting a house in Helena: This article made me think of a forum member. Me, too. As did this BBC article about the ten most sustainable US towns and why they're worth a visit. Missoula was one of them. https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20260115-10-of-the-uss-most-sustainable-small-towns Popular place, that state.

This was like two months ago. But yeah he’s foul. On the bright side, his spokesbitch walked it back. This episode netted out (so far) with the DUI hire in the pentagon going after Mark Kelly’s pension.

Mik, I forgot my best comparison-- VW and Porsche. https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/carrera -models/911-carrera/#change-model Well, the father designed the VW for Mr. You Know Who and the son designed the 911. I'd have my used Hyundai, an Audi S5, a base model 911, and a truck, probably a Ford 150. I'm good at wanting things I can't afford. I'd have hese vehicles or similar and live in the Grade 1 listed tower house Andy showed me. You think I'm kidding. I'm really not. But if I had all the money in the world I think I'd move to Switzerland. 1/4 of my family is from there. They were peasant farmers who came to America and ended up owning their own farms in Indiana. My grandfather's inheritance was a fraction of his family's farm. It was the beginning of generational wealth in my family because he kept his inheritance his whole life. The only thing he bought with it was a Ford Model T. Lol! I do have a "rich uncle" (and a rich aunt actually) but but they aren't going to leave me anything. They hate my guts because their mother dared to give me $1 instead of giving it to them. I need to start playing the lottery.

The Nobel Committee has retaliated against Trump and what's her name. Or that video was AI in which case ignore.

Usually but last night there was a first piece, not worth mentioning, that was for orchestra only. So they wheeled it out mid way through. I’m sure it was tuned right off stage before the event started.

I have to do much work holding down this house by myself and cleaning up every day after Not Me to avoid a three times you're out eviction notice since we've already received two due to his eyesore messes outside and I've been living with this stress and the stress of the chaos of Not Me for enough time that it's affected my health and quality of life without a doubt. I never feel like I can completely relax and I have trouble focusing on anything for any length of time. We used to binge watch TV. I never do that now. There always seems to be something I have to do or something I have to do in preparation for something I have to do later. The Universe has blessed me with a way out of this. I look forward to feeling safe solely responsible for my own life and in command of my time behind my own locked door. I hope to get back to being able to do many things I used to enjoy.

@wtg said in What do you all think of this apartment?: Here are some units (of varying sizes) in and around the address of the building that you posted on Cove Cay. They have sold recently. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/Clearwater_FL/type-condo/show-recently-sold?view=map&pos=27.936186,-82.723509,27.9336,-82.718313,17.89399999999999&qdm=true I figured out why the prices are reasonable. This is facing Tampa Bay. Prices in the West side of the County facing the Gulf are likely to be much higher. I don't think it would matter in terms of air quality. The land mass at this point is very narrow. Tampa is a railroad terminus, is a major US port, has one of the county's busiest international airports, and has piles of industrial waste related to agriculture following the coast as soon as you get out of the city heading south. Pinellas is an environmental paradise compared to Tampa. Tampa's air and water are terrible. I don't care what anyone says. I know this from experience. I'm obsessed with this building now. That doesn't mean buying there would be a good decision. But my mind works this way. It will lock on to something I like and want. I'm also obsessed with Andy's tower house. Thanks a lot, Andy! j/k

Link to video This cat's personality or no cat. I wish I were a dog person but I'm not one. It's not that I don't want one, but the walking the dog, the dog walking inside without being able to wash its feet (yes, I know that's an absurd thought), etc. I can't.

@ShiroKuro said in New Year, new music? Ambitions?: 50 minutes one way is a lot! Especially if something starts in the evening. If would be many times more tolerable if I didn't have to drive! Driving puts the kibosh on reading, or knitting or whatever else.

The protests were a big topic of conversation when we were there in July. When we were in Belgrade, I saw more stray dogs than I have in any other place I’ve visited. The tour guide talked about them as well. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they just started scooping them up to use in their “testing”.
