Just using the verb 'storm' in relation to tractors made it sound unlikely -- I've driven a tractor (and been behind them many times on the roads in Nebraska), and I can't see a tractor getting fast enough to 'storm'.

I like AI when it is on my side doing things I want it to do. But probably it will be weaponized against us instead.

I wish they wouldn't use emotionally laden terms like 'gobbled up'. The older boomers have more of the wealth than the youngest boomers. The Great Recession had a bad impact on the youngest boomers (job loss during the peak earning years, depressed salaries for years more, then being 'too...

I joined a senior hiking club that hikes every Friday. The club I joined is part of the 55+ community I moved to after I retired, but the county parks org here also sponsors a 55+ hiking club, and I think there is a national organization of local clubs too (I'm not very familiar with them, but...

OMG this comment on this thread cost me $120 -- made me think to look on Amazon for wish lists of relatives with little kids! I ignored all the wishes for clothes and coats, the toys are so much more fun.

Depends a lot on his budget, if he is rich you could ask for a trip to <fill in your ideal destination>. If he has a budget like my daughter...I told her I could use a couple new bathroom hand towels. In previous years I told her I'd like fuzzy bedtime socks (then I got too many and had to...

I had just an ordinary popular name for the era, when I lived overseas I had a coworker who called me the first+last name of a famous actress whose first name matched mine. I didn't like my name and had already for years been accustomed to use a false last name when ordering pizza, because my...

I like them when they are heavy enough to only make noise when a strong breeze blows. There is a house with them on my route walking home from the grocery store and I always love it when they ring when I go by.

You aren't alone, when I lived in Nebraska I remember peering behind the latch while I turned it to try to figure out which way was closing vs opening. I can't tell from your picture whether your window still has the receptacle portion of the lock, it won't really lock without that portion...

Good thing there isn't a tree on that side of the house (or if there is, you should go hang an award on it for standing up to that wind).

As an introvert and a night owl (and as a person who gets up multiple times during the night to pee), I would much prefer to live on my own, even if I had to live in a teensy tiny studio. I was a lot more accustomed to sharing spaces when I was young, I really wonder now how 5 girls sharing a...

on this video from second 20 to approx 42, it shows how to use your checking account to buy on Amazon Amazon has a variety of tilt latches, tho not sure how to know which would be appropriate

The only cursive I still do is my signature. But, at some point, probably decades ago, I switched to printing some (most) capital letters even if I use cursive for the rest of the word.

I avoid taking paper receipts whenever I can (I wish the grocery self-checkout would have an email receipt option, I find paper receipts useful if I use regular checkout because I get silly suspicions that they rang up the items more than once, grocery totals instill a sense of disbelief in me...
