    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.

      Deep sleep could be key to forestalling slow declines in brain health that may one day lead to Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia.

    The thing is that I never bought or downloaded any RAR software or plugins, so when there were security panics about flaws in RAR processing, I never had to worry. 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.

    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.

    The Jonesboro junior high school shooting has been pretty much forgotten after Columbine, but Jonesboro has a personal connection. 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.
