RE: We've Got Answers...
I haven't used Google in years, so I have no idea what they are doing these days. In fact, the other day when I saw that Berkshire bought 4b in Google stock, that was the first time I even read anything

RE: What Is Your Favourite Meal?
Something of that, yes. It is maybe Japan's favorite food that is mostly unknown outside Japan.

Matt Parker's book is on my audible list. I've enjoyed watching him since way back when he started appearing on the Numberphile videos.

There is a little. I mean he keeps the thread going, but all three of the first books have a satisfying ending for the main story of the book. Future books would lose that. Actually my favorite book was

RE: The Great Vowel Divide: Why Japanese and English Sound Worlds Apart
I was on the opposite end of that. My major at university was computer science. An area dominated by Indians, at least in education, eh? One of my first classes was a huge shock to me. The prof was a

Yeah, I noticed that immediately after I posted it and was rereading. AI might be getting better and better at picture generation, but it still trips up when we add any text. I'll go back and edit it before

RE: Veteran's Day 2025, Remembering the Fallen
After 9/11, I was close to volunteering. I'm glad I didn't. I have come to dislike all war and consider myself a pacifist. That said, happy veteran's day! My grandfather was in WW2. He was on the beach

Looks like a nice hiking trail! I'd recommend against getting into the books. The first book is fantastic. The second and third only a little less good. Unfortunately from there it's all downhill. Jordan

RE: My Hive Goals for 10 November 2025
I totally agree, but at the same time, it's a damn shame I couldn't buy a few days ago when HIVE was down to a dime. 1000 HIVE for $100 is such a deal! Oh well... still pretty cheap. If only I had money!
