    Nobody cares about food.

    Yeah, this year it's been hot and humid, and the usual traps have been ineffective. Usually I put them at the points the ants are getting in and they disappear in a few days. This year nothing stops them.

    They have joined the sugar ant infestation in our home this year.

    Grandma Raises Her Prices This Year

    When we lived near family, it was always host does the turkey and everyone else brings something. My specialty was pie. I used to make a pretty good crust. If anyone could not cook they brought wine and rolls or fruit.

    The US-Iran War Has Begun

    Sure. I look forward to all of the headlines reading "Trump Straight Remains Closed" and "Ships Fired On in Trump Straight."

    They started playing Steampunk cons when that was a thing and kept the visual style.

    Is this CPU upgrade worth making?

    While it is possible to pull off the cooler, the issue you will run into is that the two upgrades you are looking at are both 105 watt CPUs, while you currently have a 65 watt CPU. You need a cooler rated for the power load to ensure enough cooling.

    Is this CPU upgrade worth making?

    I have that exact processor with an RTX 4060ti and 32GB RAM. I don't play a lot of the most recent games, but it has taken everything I throw at it. The bundled cooler is also very good, much better than most and comparable to a good aftermarket cooler.

    ChatGPT

    My students are allowed to use AI for research and topic development. Find sources, test counterclaims, improve their background. So a category to cover AI as a research and planning tool would be appropriate.

    The Trump Presidency, Season 2

    Rewatching Babylon 5. JMS used the idea of the banality of evil effectively in that series. We almost never see President Clarke doing evil things. The big bad is far away. The Post Office clerk is right there. Instead we see a progression of people just doing their jobs, staying out of...

    Where's the beef?

    Frozen pizzas. And beer. Safe so far. Might risk a poptart later.

    The US-Iran War Has Begun

    This is what many people in America who criticize the Obama administration's agreement fail to understand: we had China and Russia on board. Any agreement with Iran that does not have the support of their largest trading partners is worthless. We can cut off trade through the Persian Gulf, but...

    2026 Midterm Elections

    Yeah. It was based on the rules not being published. The Post Office publishing their final rule pretty much undoes any changes. The suit is now timely and expect new injunctions.

    And another board reminded me that she personally invested money to get the Covid vaccine out faster.

    Dolly Parton Has Passed Away

    She supported other artists. That included Beyonce recording a Country album when bro-country gatekeepers were dismissive: if Dolly and Willy were there you can't say it ain't Country. She gave the proceeds of Whitney Huston's cover to African American communities and she invested in rural...
