That must have been one angry beaver, you know, like the TV show. (Sorry)

I've always thought, easily, we humans were our own worst enemy. But that's nothing new, it's been known for many different eras. What gets me is we don't seem to care. Obviously m…

And there it is, we're keeping competition out of the states to protect our auto industry, instead of giving we consumers other options. I've rented cars in Aus/New Zealand, if I l…

So true! My Ram 1500 was purchased to pull our travel trailer. It has the tow package and is factory raised up some. I'm kind of old, so I keep a three-step ladder in the bed so I …

You just described the political situation in the States. My homeland is truly stuck in an alternate universe.

True, but the vast amount of buildings don't have this technology.

And let's not forget unscrupulous building owners/renters who will not employ the at least 10% fresh air intake rule on their HVAC system. This fresh air is outside air temperature…

Wait, people trusted a corporation and got screwed?!? Why, that's...unheard of!(My wife, bless her, has "purchased" dozens of movies on amazon. I warned her that when the amazon wi…

Wouldn't it have been easier to say they are idiots? (I guess you needed to explain it, but like you said, it won't help.)

I think most posters are missing the point. They're over thinking the scene. Ai can never feel anything. Info isn't the same as knowledge, knowledge isn't the same as wisdom. We hu…

I agree with your account, the problem is how many perceive slavery. Here in the south (USA) many still think the slaves before the Civil War were "happy". They obviously weren't s…

This!

Well said. For my part: seek beauty and happiness. Don't make others sad. The last part is far more difficult. Why? As someone said, "We have caveman emotions, live under medieval …

Your reply is reasonable. I've always thought the biggest problem to almost anything is human. We sometimes make the most thoughtless decisions and justify them with the flimsiest …

So, we all go back to land lines for privacy?

Really cool story! It's always been my premise that good maintenance means longevity on vehicles. I keep our vehicles with the idea of "driving the wheels off of them", but always …

Indeed, since 2016.

Gee, what could go wrong using governmental info to provide personal gain? Surely they wouldn't be tempted to start causing situations to become reality for personal gain! (ala Dic…

Some teachers, like many of us, have caveman emotions, live under near medieval systems and have access to god-like tech. (My version of a quote I read earlier this year.) What cou…

Absolutely, rotary phones sucked! Always in the way, slow as a sloth and a mis-dial was the worst. Having said all that, these "cell" phones look pretty cool.

You are to be commended for an apology, it shows class and decency. As for the militarization of Silicon Valley, it's been said we have god-like tech, but not the emotional discipl…

I like/love your statement. The problem is, to their detriment, most users don't have the chops to switch to Linux/Apple.(Or the patience.) Since I couldn't afford Apple at the tim…

Perhaps they just want to steal the parts out of the laptops. If they swindled 5K rubes out of their machines, that's a lot of resale money, no?

It does. I have a sizeable ball cap collection, all in labeled shoe boxes. I'll be changing them for plastic bins on my next Ikea Swedish meatball run.

And AI is coming or has already arrived, so everybody better have a plan B.
