    Mik - impressive. I do almost all of that but break it out over multiple days. For the past decade or so, I've avoided a 1 rep max lift. Torso twists come as part of my Pilates workouts - but that and deadlifts I have to be careful with - dangerous for me given my back issues. I did pick up a new piece of equipment - a pec fly machine. I've been using dumbbells for flys- but the machine provides tension over the full range of motion. Here's most of the equipment we have in our gym. Missing photos include a spin bike, preacher curl bench, and rower. [image: 1765341252809-745a22bf-678d-4c7b-8e1b-ea59367162be-image.png]

    I keep getting notices to attend an AI training session, in the meantime the IT people have blocked ChatGPT in the hospital computer system as unsafe software.

    Yeah, when we bought our 2006 Odyssey I pooh-poohed Janet for wanting the heated seats. Now on our Murano I LOVE the heated seats and steering wheel.

    Me too. Though there is a minor caveat that he’s repeating what another person outlined. Still he must find it to be at least an intriguing possibility to forward it.

    That reminds me of Steve Forbes (remember him?). He of course was the son of Malcom Forbes, the founder of the then-empire. He recognized the nepotism involved and once said in a debate something like ‘let’s just say I came to management’s attention rather early’.

    Odd. I fly Delta all the time and have a nearly flawless experience with them. Reliability, the app, cleanliness, service... I say odd because my friend flew Delta this weekend to come watch the Redskins lose to the Vikings, his flight here was delayed 6.5 hours (two deplane events, two mechanical issues) and then last night on his way home it was delayed 1.5 hours, although admittedly it was somewhat related to de-icing.

    Instacart's business model has been to gouge the customer since day one. I won't use them. There was talk about Kroger using variable pricing, but I see no evidence they ever actually did it.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Retro by Sec. Trans.: A bunch of mf's who always fly first class or in private jets have decided they're going to improve our experience. What about free alcohol, shit-for-brains? I don't think that is the solution.
