@taiwan_girl said in The last book?: @George-K you would be proud of me. I am reading the Harry Bosch books in order, and recently I ended with "The Narrows" I liked that one. The setting comes back in another story. And yeah, reading them in order is good.

Yes, it is wonderful. Google neuroplasticity, you'll find all kinds of ideas for an old man to help deal with being old. If you are in AARP you have already seen a lot of related headlines.

There's an ICD-10 Code for that! V97.33 Actually three codes for it happening initially and subsequentencounters. [image: 1672607085391-screenshot_20230101-150324_chrome.jpg]

I'm thinking it's a thing you have to download to do, and it does the alternating for you. I can't imagine most people would stand still for having to peck it out letter by letter.

My theory is that this was a quadruple homicide by the true crime community, for the true crime community.

Some folks are better off in pastoral settings, making baskets for the community.

@Horace said in Another thing that didn't age well last year - the market.: Speaking of Democrat marketing, they sure have convinced the masses that the stock market is of no relevance to Main Street. It’s chilling listening to smart leftists discuss the market. “Nobody in their social circle owns stocks.” The level of ignorance regarding that vehicle of wealth and financial security for anyone with a middle class career, could never survive a culture that wasn’t completely dominated by leftist messaging. Easy to market when you control most of the megaphones.

Me too! Of course, in my case it was because the fireworks neighbors set off at 11:30 got the dogs going and it woke me up. Now I can’t go back to sleep…

@George-K said in Photoshopping the Virgin: @Doctor-Phibes they blurred infant Jesus's junk in another paintng. They did the same thing to Mitt Romney.

@Mik said in Tonight's Dinner - Chicken: Easy peasy. McCormick Hollandaise mix I've used that in the past with good results. But, you, being the gastronome that I know you are...I expected something from scratch. I'm liking the thought of tarragon and onion powder. Wait...are we talking bernaise or hollandaise?

@Aqua-Letifer said in Oops, hate it when that happens...: I blame the indoctrination they receive in medical school. I must've missed those days in class. Oh well. Total social bubble + everyone acting like you're God's gift = problems. Heh. An encounter with an experienced ICU/OR/ER nurse will quickly eliminate that tendency. That went away a LONG time ago, though YMMV. "WHat's all this 'sir' shit when you pass me an instrument?" "I don't know you well enough to call you stupid." I was there when that convo occurred.

@LuFins-Dad said in Going after Cumberbatch for reparations: That’s Strange. Nah, it's elementary.

If Trump doesn't kill people like that, you can bet that ambulances in bike lanes will.

Ha - these were from 3 years ago, he’s claiming victory for AI. (He runs OpenAI)

@George-K said in "Have a drink and be social": as they consumed their vodka cranberry drinks, their expressions changed. They not only smiled more, You sure they weren't grimacing? [image: 1672509811994-37734900-59cc-465e-8966-c2de7ce2b59a-image.png]
