WTF-Beta

I'm going to have to face this set of decisions when I move.

For one thing, I'm replacing my 2024 Motorola Edge with a Pixel 10 Pro XL. Life is too short.

Then I have to figure out how to get internet and whether I want to have television again.

I can't know now what the options will be or how much they will cost so I'm not worrying about it.

Andy, thanks!

Bernard, I owned a 2nd Generation Accent 4-door I bought with 70k.

I loved it. It never gave me a problem.

Then, TBH, RM totaled it. I didn't have collision. This was about 10 years ago.

I haven't had a car since then after having one on the day I turned 16.

Not having a car has been terrible both psychologically and in terms 8ngof my health.

You feel stuck. You feel like the world is passing you by.

I developed a bad knee and then a bad hip after loosing my car.

I have nothing good to say about the experience.

The only thing I can do is learn from it and move on.

Congrats on the new car! I'm glad you like it. 🥳

Andy, Our Mother's Day is May 10. My mother passed several years ago of cancer 3 hours after Mother's Day ended. It's always a solemn day for me but the loss gets easier all the time. I suffered intensive grief for two years. Then that period stopped. My thought at the time was I don't have to experience that again. My cousin found my mother's large cardboard box of old pictures including many of her throughout her life and many family pictures. She's offered to send them to me after I move. I thought that was extremely thoughtful of her.

Dol, the issue of rural delivery is vital in the US as well as you probably know.

They are the bane of my existence. I cut them; I file them; I use chemical cuticle remover; I use balm and wear cotton gloves; I use liquid bandage if I bleed.

Nothing works.

Is it a vitamin deficiency?

Maybe they need collagen treatment?

Does anyone have any advice?

Believe what you want. I don't agree with a lot of what you believe. It doesn't diminish my esteem and fondness for you.

Andy, Happy Birthday!

You're doing great with your house.

I'm not mechanically inclined and have no patience for large renovations.

We've been renovating this place for eight years and we're never going to finish!

I found this while searching car sites. I'm buying a white one with give or take 20k miles.

I thought of buying many other nice used cars with even better build quality but older with more luxury.

I decided this is the car that's "me," the best value, and stealth as opposed to standing out, something I don't want at this stage of my life.

I would consider red and beige, too. I don't want black, don't like this shade of blue, and don't like this car in gray at all. Also, I'm not interested in and wouldn't buy it in silver.

These tend to have 20k- 40k and then jump to 70k- 100k. I decided the premium was worth it to have a car in like new condition.

I love the design of this car. It's definitely Korean, very harmonious, and had this Auto Union/ Audi grill for the last years it was sold in the US.

Do you think it's a good choice?

No, not random YouTubers. Israeli government.

And he just keeps saying he's alive (well, clearly it's an AI avatar).

He should move on act like a live person acts.

Maybe he's alive but they want the world to think he's dead because he's a target.

Austin today.

Austin in his prime. He was kind of a one hit wonder. This was it.

Having said that, I personally think this is a better song, better dancing, and a better video than any other I've found in this genre.

Forgive for hijacking the thread.

There's a blast from the past.

It used to be a standard bearer. Now it's only a puppet of its owner and his agenda.

@bernard Agreed.

I beg to differ.

Wasn't it always?

Four years of aging for a boy band factors into the raison d'être for boy bands in popular culture.

Having said that, they might have success. Presumably, they'll have some success.

I just tried to watch one of their videos, but I couldn't make it past about 30 seconds.

To each his own.

The "boy band" I'm into now is Austin Malone in his prime. I missed the boat for 12 years. Today, he's aged out of his former ability to entertain. He's still active but almost unrecognizable.

I'll have to disagree with you. Mail is vital. There are business and government letters that must be mailed.

FedEx isn't going to deliver the mail to everyone, meaning every one. FedEx isn't going to mail for a nominal fee. Neither will happen five or six days a week, or ever.

Privatization would screw every one. and be a detriment to the economy.

Not every part of society was meant to be nor should be profit bearing, e.g. The Social Security Act and its constituent parts.

They certainly know how to run one into the ground. If they had only left well enough alone.

It reminds me of Social Security. Why fix a looming problem with an easy solution when you can stick your head in the sand like an ostrich.

BYW, we had the best fish from the cleanest fishing grounds in Hawaii.

That's one of the very few things I miss about living there.
