Completed all the states for Lewis and Clark Trail, well
Sorta, missing Idaho, but got one of the wildcards. Working on all states with SSB contacts now ( despite the not so great band conditions)

Across the boards cuts in personnel generally results in higher costs in the long run. History repeats itself and I remember “engineering the corporation” Hammer and Champy. Not looking at process improvement will come back and bite you in the butt.

Ok hive mind, I need some help. My 88 yo father has dementia and is in a memory care facility. I need to get him new hearing aids. Does anyone know of a solution that would be like light headphones that would be easier to wear and not easy to lose?

This maybe my word for 2025!
Australia’s oldest dictionary of Australian English has chosen “enshittification” – a slang term referring to the deterioration of products and services online – as the word of 2024.
Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary names ‘enshittification’ word of the year
Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary says term captures widespread sense that things are getting worse.
