Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I just tried to comment on a YouTube video I thought I'd never seen... only to find a year-old comment from me, basically saying what I intended to say.

Really hope I'm not getting senile.

It is too early for sleep - but I am trying to keep awake for a little longer. Thankfully my body isn't hurting as much as did when I got home earlier.

I've done that before both there and here. Having those little thumbnails of our avatars over the thread has saved me.

That sounds like a nightmare and your IT people did that to stop people asking for help

No, it's a separate company. The investment company is a large, well known financial institution. My company offered 403B accounts but, after only two years, stopped contributing to it, and since my pay is so low, I didn't contribute much either. So it's just sitting there. But I can't cash in until I'm fired or I quit.

Oh, ok. My mistake then

Very bad idea. I hear getting into a group of crows is murder.

I'm 20 minutes into Aliens, and already the influence on Halo is apparent.

Today I got the final bill for the anesthesia for my cataract surgeries last year. Now, I had a birthday this month, so I'm 72, but a couple of line items on my bill said "for a patient of extreme age". I was a little confounded because, ok, I'm OLD, but EXTREMELY OLD? Well, it seems a little rude to spell it out like that anyway. I had quite a laugh with my kids and my doctor about that. It's my excuse for everything now!

Can you imagine spending the next twenty five years in prison without the possibility of parole?

That would be like being sent to prison in the year 2000 and being released today.​

Imagine all that you've missed.

Buush, 9/11, Obama, Trump, Covid, Biden. Not to mention all the movies, television, sporting events.

He's going to be my age today (54) when he's released from prison. (I'm going to be 79-80. If I live that long.)

He has a newborn daughter who is less than a year old who's going to be twenty-five when he gets out. She's never going to know her father, except from behind bars.​

Who would have thought maybe AI art tools might need some guardrails to prevent abuse? I mean blind Freddy could see that coming.

Yet almost zero news coverage apart from one or two commercial channels here. Students can't be expelled here for various reasons too

Random thought for the day: There is no such thing as "alternative medicine." If it works, it's medicine. If it doesn't work, it's bullshit. That's all.

I thought Bullshit was another word for alternative medicine as well

To quote Tim Minchin, " Alternative medicine has either not been proved to work or proved not to work. Do you know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine!"

Thinking when to put the pizza in the oven for dinner. It's a bit too early at the moment.
