My android phone has a Do Not Disturb setting, which I have set to automatically turn on at 11PM and terminate at 7AM. Nothing gets thru except alarms that I have set and calls/texts from people in my contact list on the phone. I saw the alert on my screen when I woke up but it didn't make any noise ...

OTOH, my brother in east Texas who is connected to the national grid never lost power in the past few years when we had hard, long freezes. I was without power for days at a time! Also, there are a LOT of AI companies putting large server farms in the state, and they'll need a LOT of power.

I see this as a mixed bag... Less government is good, but I think overall road safety will suffer a bit.

It's apparently not a problem in 38 other states.


The main problem I see with this is folks who have non-functioning tail lights or brake lights. They typically don't know their lights ...

I will sell them mine for 1 million dollars. If they are willing to pay that price, I will sell them a couple of mine.

Talker #1 says *if* the guy who's not near the counter has a 2-second draw he should pull his firearm and shoot the guy in red because the other guy will run and not return fire. That'a a BIG bet. Robber #2 has a gun in his hand. What's to stop him from simply pointing at the customer who's shooting ...

I've been avoiding commenting on this topice so far, but…

I don't believe Putin's strategy in Ukraine was to "…draw the U.S. and allies into spending tons of money and sending military resources to Ukraine." I think he assumed that the U.S. and NATO would not get so directly involved and that ...

A couple of years ago, I gave up on electric watches and got myself a Seiko with a self-winding movement… this one .
…
I finally decided to go back to using an old-school wind-up/self-winding watch. Been happy with it ever since. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this watch to somebody who was ...

Well, I've "been told" by a police officer that if a light is yellow when you enter the intersection, you're okay. :anamatedbanana


Sounds to me like it is subjective. I suppose a person would need to test the issue in court to find out. Like someone posted above, they can write us up for ...

My spousal unit got a new computer earlier this year which came with Windows 11. I'm still using Win10 on a computer that's too old to upgrade. She's getting along fine with Win11. She's more of a power user than I am. As a retired accountant she does the taxes and maintains numerous Excel ...
