I just hope the safeguards I have programmed into it will prevent it from frying my current system.

It has safeguards in place anyway, even though it wont have the ability to do anything but read data I feed it.
The former. It is a tragic comedy in that our team has been consistently inconsistent all year except for the special teams and how fitting would it be that we lost because of a lack of defense, that was solid all year but not unexpected because of the number of opt outs for this bowl game, and a missed field goal inside of 50 yards.Quote:

You need to be good at that. Don't be winging it.
These were the players on defense who didn't play:
- Mansoor Delane (CB)
- Harold Perkins Jr. (listed as LB but really played the "star" position)
- Whit Weeks (LB)
- West Weeks (LB)
- AJ Haulcy (S)
- Jack Pyburn (DE)
Was that a case of two Weeks notice being given?
That was a phenomenal pun.
Yeah, it's usually a case of a person giving two weeks notice, rather than two weeks giving notice themselves.
I assume they are brothers.
Yeah, all three brother’s play for LSU. The oldest is graduating so it was pretty cool earlier this year to see all three play together.
Are you so devoted to all things LSU or just football.
I never went to any of my college's football games. An interesting fact, the FB coach was Elway's dad and the last year I was there we beat Stanford with his son John at QB.
This was surprising. Saw an article on 10 most dangerous jobs. Garbage collector was number 1.

In my area they don't even get out of the truck. I guess they still must pick it up by hand in other places.
Most things LSU, yeah
I guess being a garbage man is just a rubbish job.Quote:

We're having the opposite. It was cold yesterday and today, but dry. Precipitation starts up again tomorrow, but it will also warm until the snow level reaches 7500', which means rain on the ski slopes. It has not been much of a winter, thus far.
We need some wind around here. The valley has been overcast for just about all of December. Very little sunshine. Lots of fog. Just dreary.
Logic at it's best.
There’s a funny Boudreaux and Thibodeaux joke about , but it’s not appropriate to post here.
About *logic*
Mais bruh, I hate this iOS update.
My Samsung phone is 5 years old, and still works like a charm. :bigyello:
My Motorola phone is...old. I don't even know how old. I bought it because it had a lot of battery life, which was important as I was using it for navigation while biking. It still works fine.
I'm still a landline person. I only use a cell phone for when I go somewhere, just in case of an emergency. I can't remember the last time I called someone on it. So my cell phone lasts a long time.
For most though, their cell phone has become indispensable. It's interesting how powerful of a life tool they have become.
Yeah, even for backpackers. You pretty much know where you get service because people congregate there.
I don't use my cell phone for much. Texting is convenient, though. People don't have to be around, and they don't really need to check messages, or at least it is easier to do so.
Wishing for a white winter, but with the temperature rising tomorrow, anything that falls this evening will likely be gone before the weekend is out.
Look at all those birthdays.
Some might even be real.
Some of it I understand and some makes no sense to me. They use there phone things like reading the news, watching video clip , streaming shows and even movies. Unless you don't own a computer or a TV, why stare at a 7" screen.Quote:

You should see how it is where I work. Everyone, young and old, staring at their phones in the break room. You can hear a pin drop. Over 10 years ago it was lively. Now it feels like being at a mass funeral, where no one has surviving family members or friends attending, but it’s still happening, while the funeral director is staring at his phone.Quote:

Who ever comes up with an affordable and reliable way of hands free viewing, browsing, texting and phoning will become very rich. My guess is it will happen within 10yrs.
After that??? Maybe we become the Borg. :)
I worked with a Borg. At least, that's what his name was. Not sure whether he was mechanical or not.
This has not been much of a winter. I'm thinking of going for a long bike ride tomorrow, as it should reach the mid 50s. What little snow we have gotten is all going away.
Sure getting a lot of use out of my season pass for the ski area. Oh well, they could use the support. They're trying to transition into year round activities, which will become ever more necessary for relatively dry ski hills.
I went for a long bike ride today. I've never done that in January, before. Very strange to have mid-50s in January up here.
The snowpack for the whole state is back to dismal. At one point, I saw all the northern basins being above average. I don't know if that was a temporary error in the report, or it was actually true and the warm weather has since melted back the snow. I suspect the former. In any case almost every basin is above average to well above average for precipitation, but only one or two are above average for snow pack. The rest are FAR below.
We've been getting lots of rain here in the valley but probably not much snow in the mountain. It's been a warm storm.
Well, this week might change things up here...or not. It will get colder, and there might be snow down to the valleys, but not sure whether it will amount to much total precipitation, so it still probably won't open the skiing.
It had been my intention to get up cross country skiing several mornings each week, now that I'm retired. That has not worked out. Skiing on grass doesn't work so well.
Local news has been reporting that our city had ZERO homicides in 2025. For a city of 220K that pretty good.
I got a feeling that it was more luck than anything else. There were plenty of shooting.
But I'll take it. Much rather have good luck than bad luck.
There were zero in my house, too. I'll take that.
Has that been a problem in the past???
I work with a bunch of Bourgs. My wife is even related to a few.Quote:

We finally got a sunny day. It was windy but it was sure nice to see the sun.
I had the studded tires switched onto my car, since I might actually drive on some ice and snow this winter. Might not, too.
The tire place was two to three miles from my house, so I dropped off the car and walked home. Should have been fine...except that by the time they called me to say that the car was done, rain was starting. I was a bit damp by the time I got back there.
It's still a pretty sad winter, but there is still time to turn things around.
