Re: Generational Classifications: Do You Identify?

Personally I believe it is all just a pile of..... Well you know. ;) Every generation believes the next generation is subpar somehow. :eye-roll And those from the newer generations who think they are superior to the older generations. :eye-roll I take people as they are on an individual basis, every...

Always liked this scene, a young Jane Seymour saying it best.

Not that I expect the milk I can get from Walmart to be very nutritious anyway, but does powdering reduce the nutritional value of the milk in the process?
No, as long as you stick with brand name products you will be fine.

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

Is paper better, or do they usually coat those in plastic anyway? I don't know exactly what they coat paper in to make it able to hold liquid. Plastic coatings on the paper cartons. Seriously though, most of the info about this plastic stuff is on known conspiracy theory and activist websites. So t...

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

We were buying our 2% milk in gallon plastic containers but after reading about microplastics looked for a way out. We currently get home delivery of milk in glass bottles from Oberweis Dairy every Wednesday morning at around 4AM. We signed up for the delivery less than 2 months ago as we were tryi...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

This is another reason why people need to get smarter and think for themselves, instead of jumping on whichever manipulative, divisive bandwagon echoes their own confirmation biases. But most people probably won't be willing or able to, because when getting all up in their emotions, the vast majori...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

I mean, A.I. only know what they are programmed to know. Just a thought. IMO, this assumption won't be applicable once Humanity successfully develops a true AI (i.e. once AI achieves general intelligence). With the ability to think, learn and reason on its own, it isn't going to be confined to arbi...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

Personally, I'm not liking the over-reliance on AI that many have nowadays. There is much about AI I don't feel comfortable about, but there's nothing I can do about it, so there's no point in me worrying about some doomsday scenario. Someone can spend an entire lifetime fearing the End Times; and ...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I don't go out of my way to watch my grammar and I will on occasion make up my own words. I never thought about the possibility of it bothering others. I don't intend on starting to worry now either. Not until someone is annoyed enough to start shooting in my direction. :) If grammar on a forum bot...

Re: Survive knives

Survive is a train wreck on Instagram. Plenty of claims made due to the steel and not his over pre-order. (And yes his pre-order price and timeline was way off the mark of being profitable or achievable without hiring staff) He doubled down blaming the steel which didn’t go down well. He was even o...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I never claimed to be a English Literature Scholar so I dunno. But then I don't point out others mistakes in grammar because it is pathetic and petty to do so. :eye-roll Some people need to get a life and look for other ways to inflate their ego. :eye-roll People are people and they do make mistakes...
