    Most likely the kid doesn’t know about the medical problem because they talk 1-2 times a month. If they talk more often than that, the kid probably doesn’t know about the problem because they either didn’t listen, or actively ignored the issue. Mom mentions Dad’s having trouble sleeping for months… Then his moments of weakness, then even mentions cardiologist visit and the kid chooses to ignore it…

    Might not function as well at night. I've only driven one like that, a Tesla. The problem I had with it was it reacted a split second after I would have. You have to get used to that.

    @jon-nyc said in Is it working?: @LuFins-Dad said in Is it working?: @Mik said in Is it working?: Well, it’s opinion so not sure how entirely accurate it is. Rental prices are down: Since August of 2022 nationally. City rents still rising. and wages are up: Since July of 2020. Look closer at the links. Except for NY, most metropolitan areas are down. And while wages were up, they were well below inflation until this year.

    @Mik said in Funny Pics: My daughter is all over me if I use the term. Which is a shame because one of my favorite retorts when someone does something abysmally stupid is “Are you RETARDED???” One of my favorite things to do when someone says, does, or posts something stupid is to politely ask them if that “little bus have seatbelts? Honestly curious…”

    Fortunately I keep my hair short enough that I’m at the barber every other week or so, and he shaves them off before I see them. Usually.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Good news for Mark and me: Bloody hell, Mark - Spyro Gyra's a name I haven't heard in decades. Long ago I had a 10" single of Morning Dance, at least I think it was. Smoooooooth. One of my all time favorites!

    Would prefer to see the full clip, although I cringe based on the grammar she's displayed so far. Rambling worse than Trump!

    I do this a lot, wonder about word origins, or phrase origins, and then look them up. Sometimes in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep : ‘A unicorn isn't called a "unihorn" because the word comes from Latin (unicornis) meaning "one horn," borrowing "uni-" (one) and "-cornu" (horn), and English adopted the whole word wholesale, even though "horn" is Germanic, creating a Latin prefix with a Germanic root, making "unicorn" the standard, descriptive, and ancient name. "Unihorn" is just a modern, less common variation, as the original myth adopted the Latin-derived term long ago. ‘

    We’d be hard pressed to do much about shipment to India, and their need is huge. That’s even before the lower transportation costs.

    Not so much having avoided crypto vs. avoiding a life of crime based on stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from people willing to carry out such atrocities.
