A small victory in a very big war.

I don’t want to click on the answer and find out maybe something bad about my Sudanese ancestry.

@Steve-Miller
Wish that were surprising.

Got a letter from a company offering to lease farmland to solar panel use.
The letter's wording reeked of fraud and the $$ offered what cheap.
Tossed it.

The first salvo in the long-running series of battles we can expect to overturn regulations based on the Loper Bright decision. Striking down the FCC regulations on net neutrality is only a glimpse of what we are in for. Expect challenges in almost every area of life where federal agencies promulgate detailed regulations.

I have a couple of bottles of olive oil from Costco too. I should try that!

I appreciate that they state the harvest date on the label. They should all do that.

Another gpod religion gone bad. :}

@Axtremus that makes a lot of sense!

I rarely have earbuds in when I’m somewhere that I might also want to hear environmental sounds, but the bone conduction ones sound like a smart option for that.

You wanna take lots of risk, just buy Bitcoin.

Yup. I do. It's pretty much the only brand that Costco sells.

Don't think I'll ditch it right now, but when I do go to replace it, do you have any recommendations, @Axtremus ? I'm in the low use category, internet speeds of less than 400 Mbps, streaming maybe one or two devices at a time, no gaming or other heavy use...and even though the router is in the basement I get an excellent signal on both the first and second floors of our house.

I think I had Netgear before and have generally been much happier with the TP-Link.

@ShiroKuro so true.

A couple weeks ago we went to a holiday champagne tasting at my favorite wine merchant. A nice event, date-worthy. There was a couple at the next table. The woman looked very alone. The guy with her was looking at this phone the whole time. i don't think he said three words to her in three hours. I damn near asked her to join us, but I figured that would start a fight and ruin our outing.

Cool! Brilliant minds.

He's the man

A version of capsule hotels in Japan, except people live in the sleeping pod arrangement all the time.

I couldn't do it.

Interesting. Those names don't "break" CoPilot though. I was curious, so I checked. 😅

(For those not familiar, CoPilot is MS's chat bot/gen AI)
