She was fine.

I'm 66 years old and never saw a Bald Eagle until I was in my 30s. That was near St. Louis along the Mississippi River. Where I live now (the Ozarks) they're common to see and have…

The summation "Low creativity, high benefit … high creativity, no benefit" is a fair summation.

I never used Twitter much because I sucked at creating a response to posts within the text limit, but when Musk bought it I deleted my account because I knew it'd get just flat out…

I was in my early 20s talking with a friend who was at least twice my age. I was bitching about a guy who'd look at the work I was doing who really didn't know squat about it and s…

I'm impressed! I live on a forested ridge above a horseshoe bend in a big lake and there's a fairly steep hill behind our home. Our home is surrounded by big oak trees but there is…

Most of those here didn't wear a mask. When the local mandate to wear them was imposed that just pissed people off here and I got scowled at when wearing them but I refused to reac…

I really don't know what to make of that. I can say we did make a point to keep a distance from others, changed our masks pretty often, and we both used hand sanitizer when we were…

We stopped wearing masks after about a month after our 1st vaccination. We've both kept up on those vaxxes since. I work from home so I'm so I'm rarely in crowds but my wife works …

Where I live in SW Missouri during 2020 most of my neighbors refused to wear masks and 72% were infected in that 1st year. Among those who did wear them less than half wore the pro…

Well this is just cool as can be!

Learning "how to drive like everyone is trying to smash into you" has worked for me. Basically you always keep enough distance between you and the car in front of you to be able to…

AI is really a giant plagiarism machine and I could not care less about it being tightly regulated.

It's slightly possible I'm related to him. My great grandfather moved to the US in the early 1900s. My grandfather told me he offered to buy a ticket for all of the Stephensons who…

I love hearing that! I'll go check out that video. Thank you for sharing that.

There are some newer studies since then that are backing up this one. I ran across this one about a couple months ago and bookmarked it and then searched for others as well. One go…

I've been taking magnesium ("Calm" brand), zinc, potassium, and D, at night after dinner and just before I go to bed and that's really helped quiet down the tinnitus for me. For me…

I turned 65 this year. I've been using weed for over 50 years now. I have never had any serious health issues at all. My hips are started to tell me I'm getting old but otherwise I…

I'm surrounded by anti-vaxxers in the rural county I live in. 78% of them have been infected with covid at least once (same 78% voted for Trump here in 2020), and that crud is curr…

Well you for sure know what's it like here. We live on a ridge above a horseshoe bend on Bull Shoals lake and are surrounded hundreds of acres of public land that's forested.

We have possums here too, and they occasionally come up to our front porch to eat our dogs food. We also have a lot of deer here and they carry ticks that get huge on them, so they…

Yeah we've had quite a few chickens over the years, but we also have a lot of raccoons and fox and coyotes other chicken eating predators here. Just a couple years ago I was cleani…

I did end up nuking the yard with pesticide that year. Since then I've ground up the leaves this time of year and pile them up to compost them. In spring and summer I bag grass cli…

I live in rural area of the Ozarks where there are a lot of ticks. Treating shoes and clothes with permethrin is the most effective way to keep them off you. And doing "tick checks…
