    Pucker up

    I can point to many, many reasons for the affordability crisis that have nothing to do with state government. But I won't in the interest of not violating any forum rules. Well, maybe one, since it showed up in the news today: Private Equity and Childcare Costs Investigated. So many other...

    SFR AI imagining...it's fun!

    I'll pass. not particularly interested in giving my data and money to Google's or the other AI company's oligarchs and the datacenters being built to support this are gulping up water to the tune of a liter per image generated that I'd rather see in streams. Driving up energy costs to boot...

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    So if it is effective at increasing approval times, delaying treatments, increasing paperwork, and creating longer wait times for treatment, it will be expanded in the future? sounds like a genius idea to me! /s

    Battery Powered Inflatable Paddleboard Pump Recommendations?

    I use one of these for my Stealth Pro pontoon boat: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHG4TY82. Works great, fast, no top-off required, comes with adapters for pretty much any situation, inflates/deflates, and has plenty of battery capacity. A little spendy, but there is a Black Friday deal right...

    Rivers have rights? Who Da Thunk:

    Regardless of one's position on whether rivers have rights, corporations are certainly not people, they are legal structures with no corporal existence. And a dead river may be inanimate, but the rivers I frequent are full of life that would not exist outside the river, and it is no stretch in...

    Stripping baskets

    I use one of these - works great and is lightweight. I usually wear it off to the side abit, works well that way and frees up space on my front side. I usually avoid large waves, but the open design drains quickly. https://loonoutdoors.com/products/flexistripper

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    I would hope I had the generosity and wherewithal all to cover the bill after the card declined and the person was in an obvious state of distress. Getting old can be pretty hard...

    Battery / Cordless Air Pumps

    I use one of these rechargeable pumps (designed primarily for inflating stand-up paddleboards): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQN2DYNN. Works great inflating/deflating my stealth pro and comes with a proper set of connectors. Can't imagine using a hand pump anymore. The SUP market has led to...

    Proof Ball

    Amazingly, that is my kid in the photo. He was working at the shark lab in Bimini (a small island in the Bahamas) at the time. He took me out on a number of shark dives, unbelievable experience hanging out with 12-14 ft hammerheads and a variety of other sharks as well. They were doing growth...

    NFR Pertussis/Whooping Cough

    Same for me, the covid vaccines puts me out for a couple of days, worse than most flu's I've had. I've heard the Novovax (non-RNA) covid vaccine doesn't have the same effect. Anyone out there with experience with the Novovax version?
