However, they have left the stink for the rest of us to suffer through.

Kindles don't have GPS in them, so I am assuming they will use IP location when they connect to the internet.

I've never used that service so am uncertain how well it works. But if it shows up in a different state you've never been in then you can assume its stolen.

Not sure if that helps.

If it's a newer model, Amazon offers a "Find Your Device" feature on the device management page of their website.

Select your device and report it as lost or stolen, and they will send you an email within three days (reportedly) with a map and approximate location.

We live in strange and annoying times. I never thought I would see the day that an automobile appreciated after driving it off the lot.

I thought instead of a new car I would look for a used one. However, used cars are selling at more than they did when new. It's frustrating.

You are correct I don't think about it. But if I did I would go with the multiverse theory of James Bonds.

I know how you feel. It is hard for me to believe that in my lifetime, I can recall when there were segregated water fountains. It's so alien to me now, yet it's true.

All those people walking around in another man's shoes still don't know what it's like to go barefoot.

Sometimes I get nostalgic. 😆

I enjoy writing. I'd never use ChatGPT to write something. It's a mediocrity pattern-matching machine by design.

I have used it for research, but I always ask it to supply sources and links. Even then, I find obvious errors or broken links. LLMs have case uses, but are flawed and overhyped.

"Daffy," ok, I'll give you that... but old? That's a matter of perspective, kid.

Please, do feel better.
