@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Swampy Pine forests in Wisconsin and Vermont “Seven in one blow” was common every day at the cuff of a long sleeve shirt. Screened porches and waterside places all had piers or docks. Six feet off shore there were none.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space I bet the ones that Israel manufactures will still be allowed.

@futurebird@sauropods.win The only way to win is not play the game. Sounds like a good place to have a union.

@Archergal@wandering.shop @frobozz@tty0.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Neighbor in Salt Lake did Mongol style horse mounted archery for fun & trained horses and riders. Her oldest horse was 26 y/o. I took care of 15 horses for her when she went Germany to meet her husband’s family. 2 weeks in October ‘22. The ranch sold and they live in the city now.

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange The old rule of thumb was rent equals 25% of wages. Now I read that people are paying over 50%.

@muz4now@mastodon.world Over 50 years of Tinnitus for me. No ear protection and loud noises, middle ear infections. Chainsaw use began in 1962.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org You, more than most, know that it happens daily. Just used Google to look up the Howe Sound Crest Trail and found that it is a technically difficult 2-3 day hike & also 3 trail guide books. A little bit of reading and preparation could have made it fun, instead of life threatening and expensive I remember the Outward Bound Schools, National Outdoors Leadership School & my high school, ‘67 grad.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @CliffsEsport@mastodon.social @jbaggs@infosec.exchange I have books in 20 places around the house, 2,000(?). Partner donated her complete set of “This is Japan” annual which started in 1954, to U of Utah. Art, culture, stories of the time, photos. Beautiful books. Interlibrary loan should be free access to a copy to look at. iirc >12 yrs.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org The word “structures” dehumanizes the report. How many dwellings is more important.

@andrew@social.hodgson.io @kibcol1049@mstdn.social Apple came out with battery recommendations a decade ago that 40-80% was best for longevity. 100% charges and discharge to shutdown shorten battery life. Current iPhone is set at 85% max. I wonder about EV’s battery life as they are the same technology.

@ErikUden@mastodon.de I would not grant billionaires solace in any form until they realized that they are the problem. Musk could feed every hungry person in the world and chose not to do so. Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Scott has given away >$23-billion in 7 years.

@NorcalGma2@sfba.social llbean.com flannel sheets last well. There’s a three-X price difference between regular and organic material.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social The Trump family being top tier grifters and tax exempt has me wondering what comes next?

@davidallan@mastodonapp.uk @elithebearded@fed.qaz.red Didn’t mind San Francisco where there were 26 steps from the sidewalk to the front door. Cornwall was intimidating steep and narrow.

@lionelb@expressional.social @Tarnport@mastodon.green The American diet is sugar, salt & fat.

@lionelb@expressional.social @Tarnport@mastodon.green Yuck to deep fried. French toast is preferred.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social I was just looking over a year’s prescription drug list and see that Medicare Part D saved me about $1,570. It cost ~$470/year. So in 100 days my annual cost will go up about $1,100.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social Social Security & Medicare support about 70 million people.

@BRMiller@hcommons.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @CliffsEsport@mastodon.social @jbaggs@infosec.exchange Salt Lake County library Information desk gave me access to online databases ERIC and Lockheed in ‘85. The later had the Summa of Boolean search. Word -> set 1 Another-> set 2 Set 1 & 2 -> answers in a small set.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social My dad was an exec who made wood sculpture for relief when I was small. Summer day camp ‘59 & ‘60 had woodshop taught by my grade school principal.

@eingemaischt@chaos.social @dangillmor@mastodon.social Legal documents from multiple people used to take a few days to obtain separate signatures. FedEX Overnight, etc. Not all on the same document. Now I’m just asked to click. Not even sending a pdf.

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk @dascandy@infosec.exchange Location is key. Watched house and land prices increase 10x and more in 45 years in various places in the US. Mortgages used to be limited to 2.5x annual income. A rule of thumb was 25% of income on rent. Wages have certainly not kept up with real estate.

@lionelb@expressional.social @Tarnport@mastodon.green Which is worse sugar or fat? I grew up putting Maple syrup on egg soaked pan fried bread.

@CartyBoston@mastodon.roundpond.net Standing on a box to appear 6 foot tall was pathetic insecurity. It was equal to his competence to be made Secretary of Homeland Security, none.

@david@fouroclockfarms.club Not asked ai anything & have no plans to do so. My first art contest was 69 years ago, 2nd place for a water color. Studio art major. Reader of books.

@YakyuNightOwl@mastodon.world Not in favor of genocide or euthanasia. It’s too bad that the “woke” sayers hadn’t learned to read beyond a 6th grade level. We going to have to carry them and hopefully educate their children. I am biased by having an education,’read 1,000s of books. Mother and partner were librarians. There are about 2,000 books left in the house.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @etenil@toot.cat @redsad@ohai.social I said that a picture was “photoshopped” yesterday. Likely to have been done by AI. It was a news article showing Trump with smooth skin instead or reality. Photos were “airbrushed” or “retouched” for publication long before computers could do it.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social It is 1963 linoleum, made of thick inlays. A remodel took it from 900 sq ft to 2,350. The “new” kitchen is still in use 63 years later.

@arisummerland@beige.party How generous of manufacturers to include extras that sends buyers to shock. Pickling spice and Scotch were special ingredients in Teriyaki chicken in Hawaii.

@Lizette603_23@mastodon.social 13 is a magic number. What you lear then lasts forever.

@me_valentijn@m.ai6yr.org @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Surprised to learn that beavers live on lakes. Learned that they do if there is enough food. It is their habitat and we should act as guests and not swim there.

@ChrisMayLA6@mastodon.me.uk @Pomegranatepirate@kolektiva.social It was easy to change jobs early in the US and harder past the average worker’s age of 42. Over 50 it was much harder. As someone mentioned freelance was the only option for many. Then you had to make sure to pay the full 15% FICA taxes to receive Social Security and Medicare.

@CartyBoston@mastodon.roundpond.net Odd people in Connecticut used to break through the ice over salt water to go sailing dinghies in Winter. It was called Frostbiting. Competitors were through for the day if they capsized. There was a fireplace ashore with an open bar. My dad did it for a few years in ‘60s.

@Ivor@mstdn.social In Vermont in ‘67-8 we unloaded jumbled hay wagon 60 lbs bales by hand onto conveyors into dairy barns. The cows were still milked in stanchions. There were ~70 cows per barn. In Utah in ‘22 on small horse ranch the large bales needed a tractor to move. There were 16 horses.
