Sounds like it's time to change my name social security number and birth date.
Just call me Richard Charpentier born 1/2/1985, 30 years younger sounds right.

Welcome to the family Richard. You might need some background so meet your relative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_Lattre_de_Tassigny

Musician Taryn Southern on composing her new album entirely with AI

If you heard Taryn Southern’s new single “Break Free” on the radio, you’d probably just keep driving or grocery shopping, or doing whatever you do in places that still have radios playing. The song is a big, moody ballad — the kind that might play during the climax of a Steven Spielberg movie. “Break Free” wasn’t composed by a John Williams copycat, but by artificial intelligence. The song is not a fluke or a novelty for Southern either; she’s using artificial intelligence platforms to create an entire album, called I AM AI. It’s the first LP to be entirely composed and produced with AI.

Arecibo Survives Irma.

Something we (at least me) had not been thinking about.

The Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico is still standing, and still seemingly intact, despite experiencing the wrath of powerful Hurricane Irma, which battered the island last night (Sept. 6).

"Preliminary inspections of our facilities show no damages. We will continue inspections, and we'll keep the public informed," Arecibo representatives wrote today (Sept. 7) via the observatory's Twitter account, @NAICobservatory. [Hurricane Irma in Photos: Satellite Views]

Preliminary inspections of our facilities show no damages. We will continue inspections and we'll keep the public informed.

The problem is My car has a flat tire, hence the NEW tire in My last post here, Grace My cat is also running low on canned food.

You posted in another thread that the tire should be fixed tomorrow.
I don't think either one of you shall be in danger of starvation until then.

Sorry. I thought you lived in a place where at least there is nearby convenience store.
I usually walk to mine. Always have.

Vic does not have that luxury. He lives in a fairly remote area and has to travel some distance for most things.

I wish it was that easy for me. The nearest convenience store (petrol station) is 4.023 km away. The nearest grocery market is 8.046 km away. If a ambulance is needed. Pray and give them 20 to 30 minutes.

@ Kittyman: Janneseti may not have known that.

Probably not. Which is why I let him know.

I happen to be lucky in that respect.
If my car goes down, I live within hiking distance of, among other things, a True Value hardware store, a Piggly Wiggly grocery store, a Shopko discount store with pharmacy, a Burger King, 3 gas stations, and both an Autozone and Oreilly auto parts store.
And there is always Yellow Cab on call if I had to venture further.

Meow.

4.023 km away? That's 2.5 miles.
We would say it's 4 km away. The extra 23 meters... LOL:)
Anyway. I'm a city boy used to have near to all. Genuine Söderkis:)
My GF as a kid though had to go 7 km to school everyday, Rain or shine, Snow in the winter.

I used to live in a small city, in San Gabriel CA, a store was a block away, but that was in 1986, when I could walk a long ways.

Not being able to walk is a bummer for ever reason it is.
Only two months ago my GF had to amputate her leg above the knee cap:(

Ouch!
I almost had to have that done in 2002, instead I have 3 titanium screws in My left leg, 2 bad ankles and knees, and 2 dislocated hips, with OA, that's in addition to a stiff back, being 6'1" tall, about 416lbs, a hernia(My stomach is partly above My diaphragm), a dislocated right shoulder joint(OA was detected there at age 40, I'm 57, though I'm told I look like I'm about 45, w/thick strawberry blond hair and no grey, hairline unchanged since I was a teenager), I had to change My diet several times just to lose some weight, I hope I'm still losing weight, I need to charge the batteries soon for the scale.

Ouch :(
Hope you check your blood sugar levels so you don't have diabetes 2.
As for my GF who have it, it started with a small wound on her heel.
That grow and soon she got gangrene...
So check your feet often as well!

UK Social Services would put you into Assisted Living accommodation as a very minimum., and you'd be a Blue Badge holder.


If he wanted to, he would not be forced, if they had places, also my father refused a blue badge right up to his death.

Please remember I asked for help for my father and UK Social Services were stretched to provide it. Then when I was desperate for full time help I was told it would be two to three weeks before he could even be assessed, by which time he was dead.

Strange but if you convert 2.5 miles to km guess what the answer is

4.023 km

I wonder if just by chance that is what he did as I do not suppose his car records the journey in km.

4.023 km

When I studied at KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY that conversion is considered as an error.
2.500 miles = 4.023 km.
2.5 miles = 4.0 km.
See the difference?
If you cannot handle magnitudes and precision's then you are lost...
