Assuming society doesn't collapse or we don't become slaves to our AI overlords I wonder where we will be in 1,000 years?

Yikes! - 25 days ago

I feel bad for people like delivery drives and others that can't take the day off. Stay hydrated and make sure your pets have lots of water.

Can't pick just one... - 25 days ago

as my favorite movie but Robert Redford is my all-time favorite actor. Saw an interview with Sydney Pollack once talking about how even the greatest actors would show signs of being nervous when you yelled action. He said the only actor he ever worked with that didn't was Redford.

So my state is becoming one of the first states to use cell phone data to determine what sections of road has the most speeders and people driving while texting to increase enforcement in those areas.

I marvel at all art. I can't draw a good stick figure. Speaking of art on a train have you ever watched any of Devon Rodriguez vids? That guy is amazing, also quite the life story. He went from dirt poor to now having over 12 million subs on his youtube channel.

Because of AI I'll never be able to watch one of these again and know if its real or not. It's like those rain micro burst vids, they look fake but I have no idea.

Re: Here's how my day is going.... large bottle of soy sauce.... - 28 days ago

Reminds me of the time I put a two litter bottle of diet coke in the freezer to cool off faster and forgot about it. It was completely frozen when I took it out and placed it on the counter to thaw. About ten minutes later it sounded like a bomb went off in my kitchen. There literally wasn't a piece left bigger then a dime. To this day I can't believe it didn't blow out the kitchen window.

Any frying pan suggestions - 4 weeks ago

Last pan I bought had a granite coating. Was the best pan I ever had at first but after a little less then two years the coating in the center of the pan is starting to ware off and things are sticking to the pan. Was looking at some stainless pans but they are all over $100 and don't want to spend that much on a pan and have to replace it in two years.

Anyone else remember.... - 4 weeks ago

QuoteJamesJM One of the last I saw was The Outlaw Josey Wales.... and I agree, one of his best. But I think The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is my favorite. And the music track from that movie is incredible. - JamesJM

Very cool - 4 weeks ago

Many years ago a buddy of mine was a manager for a Target. He told me about the Hot Wheel collectors. How they knew what days the new Hot Wheels came out and he'd get to the store in the morning to open up and there would be number of them already lined up outside the store.

Re: This is crazy.... - 5 weeks ago

I've mentioned before about my great uncle who died right before his 104th b-day. He was born when the country was still recovering form the civil war and lived to see men land on the moon. Met him when he was in his 90s and got to hear him talk about the time when he was a little boy and the James gang spent the night in his families barn.

Re: So I just don't get it... - 5 weeks ago

A lot of things I don't like about soccer but of all to them for me at the top of the list is all the dives. Many sports have dives but if you add them all up they wouldn't come close to soccer.

Re: Speaking of Volcanos - 5 weeks ago

Two weeks ago was the 45th anniversary of the Mount Saint Helens eruption. I remember flying over it two years after it happened in my dads plane. The devastation was unreal. I mainly remember being awed by the 9 million trees that were blown down
