Oh, no. This reminds me when my Fortune 500 job renamed our department 'BM'.
Soon, all at MSNBC are going to be in 'a mess now'. It'll be a new punchline for comedians and Fox News as well.
It's probably too late to stop the rollout of the new name...

YouTube is changing uploaded real videos to look like A.I...!
Why? Perhaps they are saving space by only storing low-res versions of uploads, then A.I. upscaling as you watch to hide that. Or they want to hide YouTube partner's A.I. content by making everything 'look the same', real & fake... 😮

So today I was surprised to find out I was now 62 years old, eapecially as I had only been 61 for four days.
But at a lunchtime birthday gathering for me, one of the friends had mis-remembered my age when the others asked before I got there. So I will now be 62 years old for the next 103 weeks...!

If you're interested in seeing Colorado's newest Mega Dam, being built by Loveland, Colorado, here's a 20min overview.
Except for a spillway, the entire dam is being built WITHOUT concrete. How do they keep the water held back? The answer certainly surprised me...!

Given the price of eggs, I’ve decided to buy my own chicken. When I called, they were out of the premium hens most people wanted, but they did have the other kind.
A week later and no eggs! VERY DISAPPOINTED. And I didn’t realize the awful racket it would be making each and every morning…
