    Odds are you will never need the below, but just maybe............ LOL If you are expecting a phone call and running out of battery on your phone, change your voice mail message to address that person. (Or if you are somewhere (broken down car) for example and running out of battery, change your voice mail to your location, etc.)

    @Wim said in For the Biking People: Actually n°7 is 'Kinderdijk', meaning "children's levee". That's right. I did not notice the mis-spelling. (and did not know what it meant. LOL) [image: 1756428539149-8r3a4587-resized.jpg]

    Can't believe it's already been 8 months since this video. Thanks for the update! The initial press conference provided almost no details other than the pilot had declared an emergency while in the air. Link to video Link to video

    If you can ever learn anything about watching zombie movies, it's how underrated a leg injury is for survival.

    @89th said in A Trip For George - Luxury Train Travel in India: Fun fact, the name Spain actually came from the phrase, "Travel is painfully slow", true story! You're really buying into the whole dad jokes thing.

    It's kind of interesting that the main challenge is not to make the lung work and connect it properly, but to stop the body from rejecting it.

    AI is getting quite good at music composition. There was a music history teacher who asked me, decades ago, why I chose another major field study other than music. I wonder what she would say today.

    @89th said in AI and retirement savings needs: I didn't understand the conclusion either. Can robots make me rich or not? AlphaAgents aligns with established portfolio construction frameworks and discretionary investment workflows. While currently focused on stock selection, it can serve as a modular input to models like Mean-Variance Optimization or Black-Litterman, by supplying agent-driven signals for return estimation and scenario analysis. It might be simpler to rob a bank.

    Can we just appreciate the scale of the hypocrisy for a moment? Even assuming the allegations against cook are correct, just this week the judgement against trumps business in NY was thrown out for his mortgage fraud since the bank got paid back and this had never been a top line charge before in NY. Her bank got paid back and this has never been a top line charge from DoJ. Ever. Also, back to the other major lawfare-related hypocrisy of the week, a dozen people in the administration have committed the same violation in this case for which Trump fired Comey in 2017.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Store Renovation: I really wish they wouldn’t ruin my beautiful piano showroom by sending so many pianos… Yeah, it sucks when they don't send their best pianos. Consider securing the showroom perimeter and deport some pianos.

    Yeah the big issue is people don’t want the overall density in their neighborhood to increase. Parking, traffic congestion, school crowding, etc are all (often) legitimate concerns. But at some point something’s got to give. Unless we perfect teleportation or the population decreases.
