Aside from the battle over integration, our schools weren't subject to the political social pressures of today, so there was uniform agreement on basic teaching curriculum with a nod to living functionally, whereas these days the disparate curriculum of the red-blue states reflect their...

8 billion people on a shrinking rock that is polluted with plastic from the deepest oceans to the very cells in our body....a global drift to the corrupt strongman at the cost of democracy...diseases doing laps around the world while our own country tries to choke research to suit some arcane...

foot for foot, the most stable small boat there is https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/d/puyallup-truline-sportcat-10-10-hp/7936741106.html

our experiences, good and bad, planned or random, are one of the two strongest influences on our lives. The other is how we respond, which is the only thing we can actually control.

yea, some life experiences shape us in ways never expected. While in the service at Travis AFB, I stopped for a beer after my usual off base bike ride following my shift, where a drunken bear of an airman recently transferred to our air cargo unit from Alaska sat down at my table and began...

12 years old, freezing with no wetsuit at Kelly's Cove San Francisco beach, stood up on an old beater of a surfboard and got my first ride...hooked for life Waking up in the hut my first morning in G-Land, Java, after 40 hours of travelling that included a long boat ride across the Java Strait...

I gave up on cotton many years ago

x2 - we have always lived modestly, which worked well with our decision to retire early. We understood early on that nothing you can buy is more important than time and what you do with it. Raised my kids, and tell my grandkids, 'in the end not a damn thing you buy will mean anything compared...

"Whereas the standard of living in 2026 offers higher wages then in 1970, this gain is heavily offset by a major decline in housing and higher education affordability, shifting the standard from a single-income baseline to a dual-income requirement" "Nearly 23 percent of American workers work...

Underneath this massive investment in AI is the serious lack of funding for our national infrastructure. None of these billion/trillion dollar corporations can function without well maintained highways, airports, water delivery, power delivery, etc. These mega-entities, however, rely on citizen...

Wemby literally threw the game away...Michael Wilbon has said it best..'young teams have to have their hearts broken in the finals at least once or twice before their able to figure it out'

you're both dismissive and wrong...our plan, which retired me at 56 and my wife a few years later, had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with hard work, living within our means, a maxed 401K portfolio and smart real estate investments. Enjoy the bubble while it lasts

A good snapshot of current realities The AI bubble debate has lurched through at least three frenzied phases in the span of three years: Suspicion: Historic sums of capital poured into AI before anyone proved it could reliably automate work. A violent market correction felt inevitable. Mania...

You could have written the same thing in Jan of 2000 when the tech market was roaring along and bringing all the other sectors along with it. And just like then, stock cash dividend payouts do not match stock gains, with annual stock price gains far outpacing cash dividend yields, which hover...

The all time highs in the stock market are represented by ten companies deeply invested on the bet of AI profits, not the promise, and underpinning all of this is an irrefutable danger that if sufficient lay-offs due to AI job replacement spread across multiple business sectors, recession and...

Think of the 'highly convinced' who destroy animal research labs, throw red paint on women wearing furs, chain themselves to earth moving equipment, etc...having been exposed to high end software engineers when I was building data centers, easily identified by their penchant for gallons of...

ants and beetles my absolute fave way of fishing at a fave lake from mid summer until the weather changes. Under electric power I'll nudge along about 40' or so from the shoreline and land a bug wherever a bush is overhanging and deeper water is just yards from the shoreline...the takes are...

So was on Crane Prairie yesterday, caught one in the morning amidst a sporadic damsely fly hatch and then nothing. So pulled up anchor and moved to the middle of the lake and got out the action finder and started taking a look around. Hmmm... a half dozen boats clustered in the NE...

a man who makes $698 million per day, a sum proofed by multiple sources, and believes in nothing but his own omnipotence and destiny will say or do anything and everything to get what he wants regardless of how far from the truth it may be.

If including my youngest son body count for personal friends losing jobs directly to AI now up to 3. The latest is a long time buddy who was a commercial business insurance adjuster for decades. An AI contract just took his job along with the other adjusters on his team. AI and politics -...
