I find myself at Costco several times a week lately, and I always try to interact with employees. Even just "hello", "good morning", or "thanks I'm a fan of your work" gives you an opportunity to sense if employees are happy and treated well.

Good companies take care of their employees and customers.

"Building a fairer system—­with the elderly divested of political power, wealth, and property, but guaranteed dignity and state support at the end of their lives—­would help everyone, including most of the aged."

So, we just have to take all the wealth and property

From the Washington Post today, for those of us with Type 2 diabetes:

"The effects — and implications — proved to be especially striking for people with Type 2 diabetes, according to the analysis. For them, exercise later in the day tended to result in substantial and lasting improvements to blood sugar control."

"Want to control your blood sugar? Here’s the best time of day for exercise." https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2026/04/15/exercise-... https://archive.ph/oO7Q1

Lots of blame to go around

"60 Minutes, the storied investigative news program of CBS, Sunday night turned its cameras on one of the growing problems within the U.S. trucking industry: chameleon carriers."

These companies quickly shed any record of accidents and safety violations simply by changing their names and slapping new DOT numbers on their trucks. https://www.truckersnews.com/videos/video/15822044/60-minute...

I worked for a man who hammered wood screws most of the way in and then finished with a screw driver because "the threads made by that last few turns were enough."

The school district uses Thomson Reuters Clear to verify residency. Thomson Reuters Clear uses LPR data.

"School District 126’s contract with the license plate reader company shows it’s paying a total of $41,904 for a 36-month-long contract that began in December of 2024 -- the same month that Sánchez and her daughter moved into their new Alsip home."

Per a Google search my county: For the 2025–2026 school year, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) charges nonresident tuition of $21,668 for elementary school and $20,214 for secondary school. Nonresident students must apply through the International Admissions and Enrollment office, and not all schools are open to tuition-paying students.

My wife worked in the office of an elementary school for 20 years and verified residency, custody, restraining orders and more. She shared many stories about people gaming the system. People will cross state and county lines to access a better school or one closer to work.

Thank you! Your extension is really helpful.

I always look for Stanley's at garage and estate sales. Bought my oldest new 40+ years ago. I have six others now that were $5 or less.

I still received 23 telemarketing calls today on my Verizon phone in Maryland.

Edit: Windows 10

Intuit emailed me stating that Turbo Tax 2025 will not install on a PC running Windows:

I fill 5 gal bottles at a water store. Some of the 12 bottles I use are 30 years old. My kids and their friends grew up drinking from a water cooler at our house instead of sodas or juice.

When I started buying in 1993, my treated municipal water sourced from the Potomac river had a chlorine taste that seemed more noticeable in the winter. I now use unfiltered tap for coffee, tea and cooking, and barely notice any chlorine taste.

Gold recovery from scrap circuit boards and electroplating solution. I worked in a PCB shop until 1998 and have a small collection of scrap that I would like to process.

I sent the article link to my son because he does not have experience building or assembling hardware or installing or using Linux. Also took the author's ChatGPT prompt and changed it to ask about reusing two HPE ML150 Gen9 servers I picked up free. I think my son will benefit from the details in the article that many find off-topic.

Well, I made the mistake of giving you an email address, but bailed when you you wanted more PII just to find out where a lab was in Maryland. Since then I have received 5 emails in my Yahoo spam folder. The "Unsubscribe - Unsubscribe Preferences" links in the emails don't function. I replied with unsubscribe in the subject line, but still get what is now clearly spam.

I have a 4G LTE Network Extender provided free by Verizon. My only issue is calls drop as I leave my property.

I called 911 in January and gave my address before the call dropped as I moved my car from my driveway to the street. The 911 operator called me back once I was back in range.

A few months later Verizon asked me to edit the location data with my address. Hopefully, I won't need to test anytime soon.

This is what teachers told me when my sons were in high school 2004-2010. Any mention of drug use, sex or race would result in complaints from a few parents.

My wife uses a Radio Shack alarm clock that looks nearly identical to the one in this post. It broke recently and I fixed it by removing about 3 inches of the power cord where it attaches to the transformer.

I still use Tupperware that is 40+ years old

I'm hoping to do something similar, but only use HW that I own or can find at yard/estates sales. I bought a 4Tb WD My Cloud this weekend for $5. Found a 2Tb for $1 several years ago and WD replaced it for free.

I was given a Macintosh SE model M5010 and a M5011 in 2020. Both have bad hard drives, but the batteries are not leaking. I'm not sure when I'll get around to working on them.

Frostburg State University, Deep Creek Lake and Wisp Resort are close. Summer temperature was 10 degrees F cooler than my house near DC the last time I spent a week at Deep Creek.

I had a bleeding ulcer in high school in the 70s, so assuming it was stress, the staff at my all male Catholic HS started to treat me like a human being. It wasn't stress, but I enjoyed the change.

I believe that my ulcer was caused by daily doses of the antibiotic Tetracycline which the family Dermatologist prescribed for acne. Once I stopped taking it, my symptoms were gone.
