Agree with Ford comments. Have had too many issues with several of them, but kept getting them because we could walk to the dealer. But, other people have not had (apparently) the 'Fixed Or Repaired Daily' experience. At this point, we won't consider anything except a new hybrid.

I can't tell if this is a remake or not (from the ads). DW and I really like the Saga and have seen it twice. We'll try it, but it seems that a lot of the newer period pieces are overly dramatic and soapier than most of the older series, IMHO. You just can't beat the actors in the original.

Dangerous to me and most older people. Aging eyes can't deal with them for several reasons.

It's really difficult, if not impossible, to monitor these sites. TIt would take thousands of individuals working by reading every posting that comes onto the site (and there are thousands coming in by the second). Some 'intelligence' (AI) could be bujild it, but you can't monitor someone...

Yup. Wife and I were both sociology majors because in the 60's and 70's, sociology was a 'relevant' subject and we had to be 'relevant'. Yeah, we thought we were going to accomplish something for the social good. Triedbut didn't work out. So, back to school at night to change careers.

Maybe Starmer could make U.S. part of the U.K.

Me too. But I ended up going into IT (known as Data Processing at the time) and went to night school to get a 2-year degree in accounting. Lib arts were good for the mind, not so good for the wallet. Wife did something similar.

But the 'real issue' is that your antivirus software should catch this. You should never start a session on your device without updating your antivirus software if you don't have automatic updates. One article I read, for what it's worth, states 1/3rd of computer users browse without an antivirus.

Thank the Americans for that. :mad:

Respectfully disagree. I'd rather be broke in Switzerland or Norway, or Cayman Islands or Bermuda..

If we have 'full automation', the jobs go away. How does he see this as the 'only way out'? There have been many warnings, and in fact, it is happening right now, that AI and automation is taking away jobs. Having been in IT, I'm aware the alarm went out decades ago that computers would...

My understanding is that most countries in the world are 'insolvent'. They just keep on printing money that has no 'backing'. As long as everyone keeps printing money and no one calls in the debt, the system keeps on going. If the country 'over prints' money, then of course, hyperinflation is...

Maybe placebo effect? So many people seem to get relief. I've not taken med pot or even been in a dispensary so don't have first hand experience.

Birthdays are just another day for me. Wife doesn't try to 'push' anything special on bday, so just another day as others. I'm totally fine with that. My mother used to call every bday and tell me, once again, how I was born at high noon. Once she got dementia and that stopped, bdays didn't mean...

(y)(y)(y)(y) Indian curry is our fave!
