Oof RC. Glad it's been mild. I'm sure it's been a rather concerning week.

I was just telling some younger friends I feel bad for them. Smartphones and social media didn't exist when I was in college. We could let loose at parties without permanent records of our idiocy. It gave us space to be weird & make mistakes without risk of ruining our lives. That hardly exists anymore.

Happens to me also, and I agree it's annoying. I run incognito often too, though.

I'm told there is a toggle to turn that interstitial off. We're digging into that project tomorrow, so we'll see.

The Slate $20k price assumed a $7500 federal tax credit, which is now ending. I'm not sure it'll make a lot of sense for most people. Ford Maverick starts at $28k which includes a lot of standard features (like a radio).

So true and still running LAMP stack.

I've been doing 3 hours of zone 2 per week for a year now. It's made a significant difference. It takes a lot more to max my heart rate playing sand volleyball. I'm outlasting some players ~20 years younger in the TX Summer heat.

Also: "None of us is as dumb as all of us."

safe to say you're immune at this point, RC

I don't have answers to your questions, littleman. But I doubt many parents will say "no thanks" to the cure.
