Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

I'm still taking most of my supplements, all of my prescriptions, and just added Ozempic. I try to make sure to have refills for supplements before they run out, but it does not always work out that way. They are expensive, and I am saving for more knives(looking at adding one or more S90V and M390 ...

Re: Where Artificial Intelligence Is Right Now

I look forward to Microsoft's investment into AI but it is hard to disagree with what Gary Marcus on Twitter said: 13.5 months post GPT-4: • Models that are not as good as GPT-4 have become widespread. • Models that are roughly as good GPT-4 have become common. • Models that are significantly better...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if MITRE, Microsoft and the CIA can be hacked there really isn't such a thing as a secure system. https://www.zdnet.com/article/everything-you-need-to-know-about-microsoft-exchange-server-hack/ https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/feature/SolarWinds-hack-explaine...

This is a very political topic and we should probably refrain from discussing it here on the Spyderco forums.
I stayed out of the political end of it.

The hacking IS REAL and that is all that I'm talking about. Be aware people or your credit card data and identity will be gone.

As a Filipino, I appreciate that other people are aware of tensions in Southeast Asia. I can't say more without turning this into a political post, so I will close with that. I knew about the Philippines before 2000, but I did not know much about Filipino people and their American history. I learne...

Another Good Reason to Avoid Showboating for the Crowd (*my title*) I've seen too many c0cky fighters who act like this in the ring, who may have gotten away with it for some time, eventually get caught and destroyed.

Anyone ever think that in the Book of Revelation the AntiChrist and False prophet make the image of the beast which is an A.I.? "And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause all who do not worship the image of the b...

Re: The First Pig-Human Kidney Transplant

They have successfully grown human organs in pigs, and even ears. I hope this turns out to be a good thing for everyone concerned. It could save a lot of lives. Now, if the government would get control of the insurance companies and the way charges are done, perhaps it wouldn't cost so much. I was ...

Re: The Days of the Milkman May Be Numbered!

Milk in paper cartons is better. However, I buy Fernleaf powdered milk. It tastes just like bottled milk and dissolves in cold water. It is a New Zealand product. I understand that the same brand in the UK isn't nearly as good because UK laws mandate using only UK cow milk. The NZ cow milk is much ...
