This is the tail end of the Baby Boomers and beginning of Generation X. Half have no retirement plan and no savings? But ... I keep hearing about how the Boomers are holding all the money. -

Uh oh. Getting enough restful sleep has been an issue for decades. Back when I was doing a Master's Degree, I was sleeping 3 hours a day until I had to drop everything except work and school.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

I hope 2nd son and half son know to call their brother if they have issues. I bought them 3D printers a couple of years ago based on 1st son's advice. In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

Now, #Win11 will open (and create?) #RAR_archive files natively.
OTOH, there won't be any more need to seek exemptions for #7-zip so that agency #GIS mappers can exchange data with other agencies. Windows will open #7Z and #XZ files natively.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I almost wonder what good is an aircraft carrier that is 2/3 empty, and why the UK isn't procuring enough planes. But the US hasn't been running many of its military production lines for a few years, so I guess it isn't just the UK.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

A friend was moving to that area (en route with their Uhaul the day the shooting happened) with their youngest son. So they arrived with their elementary school child within days after the event.
I've long since lost track of the family, but both 2nd son and half son remember the kid from school. And note, I know they moved somewhere in the vicinity of Jonesboro, AR, but I do not know whether they were in the same school district / in the town itself or any such details.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
