Don’t think so. We are generous by nature and feel we owe it to others to share our blessings.

Updated: Autonomous driving levels 0 to 5: Understanding the differencesThe term “Autonomous Driving” keeps being thrown around with the speculation of what Apple’s future car may be like. It seems that there are 5 levels of autonomous driving and we have no idea where Apple’s car will fall. BMW is ready to introduced the iX. 2022 BMW iX The iX will have the next-level sensor package and 5G data communications and level 3 autonomous driving with level 4 coming later in its life cycle. It will be a supercomputer on wheels through central servers crunching through petabytes of data and transmitting everything back and forth over the 5G network.

We're finally up to ok levels after last week's trio of storms gave us 4-6', but a generous season would help us in a variety of ways and give the city slickers some practice. Looks like we have sunny days and up to 50 for the next week. I tweaked my knee a week ago and probably still have another week. But that gives some time to get all the blowers working at 100%.

4aapl,
Said 🇨🇦 Vortex will not be visiting Incline Village, nor Kirkwood and Squaw! You too far west and south, Lstream just being generous to us midwest and east coast ‘Mericans...
Hope the tweak works itself out... 250 tweaks later, i have given up the ghost. No downhill ⛷, im now a flatlander, eh!

It is Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Most will not understand this reference. Car day, monster ICE showoff. Here is a good interview with Herr Musk 4 days ago... youtu.be/YAtLTLiqNwgIt reminds me of the original Herr Tesla talking about the benefits of AC vs DC current, old school. Our world will be very different in a few short years, and I for one relish that change. Green, carbon neutral, and sell all yer million year old petro stocks, you will rue the day. AAPL batteries will be 100% recyclable, yep, 100%. Lithium Ion/cobalt is now officially DOA. And 60% of cobalt comes from one country, CAR, i find great irony in that CAR reference. From Wiki... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_iron_phosphate_batteryLiFePO4 Is DOA too, the future is in Salt, ie H2SO4. Then we have Solid State in 2028+, with one minute charge to max. Interesting times indeed. Hey 🇨🇦, stop sharing your blessings, my batteries are wonky! Brrr., -8 degrees F, not counting wind chill... feels like -21 degrees F. WTH. Lead filled snowshoes, whack, i am blinded. youtu.be/JhHCcUnm4SIPure genious.

Ummm...SPLHCB was 1967, 54 years ago, but perhaps you were just referring to the band itself. I’m a few years older, but my iPod would have looked similar, with more Miles and Beethoven.

57 years ago today, the Beatles arrived... in the land... ...and what joy it was! In many ways it was the cultural kickoff for the Baby Boomer generation.

Today was my last day of work, wtf do i do now? Hmmm, 🎶🎵🎶📸🎥🛫🛬🎹🎼🥁🎸🎧🎤 Congrats! It's nice to have a break for a bit, but I'd suggest figuring out what things you want to do and get started on those. Some things that are better in person, like group hikes or whatever, are tougher now. But if you had been looking for a time to take a class, learn a new language, or start a new hobby, now works well. Each person is different, but for me I feel my day is more of a success if I get to at least a few different things. OTOH, there are days where I am on the computer too much, and feel like I didn't accomplish much. Those day's often don't feel quite as successful. Yesterday I saved a friend's MBA that had some water splashed on it weeks ago. When I finally took the motherboard out all the way, it had obvious corrosion on the side that faced up. Cleaning that up with some isopropyl and putting it back together, it worked again. I guess that's 3 for 3 on resurrecting Macs with liquid damage, though watching a few videos on the pros replacing chips and resistors on the MB shows me there is plenty above my skill level.

So it looks like the old Mac / PC war is back on again. I know which side that I’m betting on.
