@george-k said in Picard Season 2: But, this weekend....THE EXPANSE! I haven't mentioned The Expanse reappearance to the Mrs. though she is a big fan of it. I'm not sure if we start with the new season, pull back to part of last season or even start from the beginning and go all the way through. As for the Treks, I thought the one with Mulgrew wasn't bad - probably better than next gen - but Discovery quickly went off the rails and Picard was a disappointment as well.

Mrs. K is an Apple fan - spent some time deciding between the 13 vs 14" pro - and opted for 13" for reasons that are no all that clear to me. Chip shortages and demand are such that she won't see it for a few weeks.

@lufins-dad said in We have to turn back the : I would tend to think that the “great exodus” from the cities will alleviate the problem, as will the “great resignation”. If that doesn't take care of it, the much-predicted civil war and/or Muslim takeover and/or Communist autocracy will take your mind off things. I'm beginning to think that the Douglas Adams solution might be a good idea. We tell everybody the world is ending and we need to evacuate into space, and then we put all the 'influencers', reality-TV stars, politicians, media pundits, life-style consultants, etc. on one ship, and tell them the rest of the population is going to be on the second ship. Of course, there's no second ship.

@axtremus said in AWS went crashing down yesterday: Among the TNCR regulars, is anyone’s job or day-to-day activities affected by this AWS outage? (Apart from reading about it, have you noticed it?) When driving with Finley, I like to stream an age appropriate book on Audible for him to listen to. That wasn’t working, so I switched over to Amazon Music for him… That didn’t work either…

The $79k finish out? If you did the work yourself, and made some changes on a few things, I think you could come in well below 50...

@klaus said in French or Latin?: Yes, of course. It's her choice. She'll likely choose French. Of course, her choice is mainly based on what her best friends are choosing and not much else... Perhaps not a bad thing for learning a new language … she gets to practice with her friends.

@jolly I've been using my cast iron for this forever, but it wasn't until yesterday that I noticed the "sheen" kind of gone. It'll take nothing to throw some oil in and reheat it. Just found it interesting.

@bachophile said in Trump to quarantine awaiting Covid test: @george-k cant think of any book i hated more in medical school then this little rag from hell I (obviously) enjoyed respiratory physiology. Struck me as being almost as simply as cardiovascular. Now, if you want to get Obscure - nephrology OCD - endocrinology More obscure - neurology (I loved that too)

Outta my league, but I think it's a stapler.

We are so lucky to live at a time when trillionaires may soon roam the earth.
