Rob of San FranciscoJust caught a big moth that was on the kitchen curtain. Opened the front door, blew on him as I opened my palms. Told him to bring help.

I'm here with an open mind to read people's thoughts and ideas and engage a little bit. Math, science, cooking, and politics. No tolerance for intolerance.
@bobonbooks thanks for posting this list. I book marked it for reference.
My favorite book of all time is a Separate Peace by John Knowles. I think I just read it at the perfect time in my life for maximum impact in two respects. First I read it as a wonderful story about transitioning from care free youth into the responsibilities of adulthood. And second it opened my mind to the power of storytelling. To me it was obvious that the two main characters were different components of the same person. One that needed to challenge authority and express themself in a wild and audacious manner and the other that liked to watch it unfold but more thoughtful and reserved.

When my son was in kindergarten, I volunteered at the school's field day and was assigned to help organize the tug of war station. When field day was over I challenged him and his class to a tug of war. Me against a dozen or so 5 year olds. I honestly didn't know what to expect. They were all so small compared to me. Let me tell you, it wasn't even close. They trounced me in a matter of seconds. I went back to work and was working with a bunch of really smart engineers and a couple of PhD types and we discussed the idea of a strong man and a dozen 5 year olds and how the result was not at all surprising.

I'm not gonna lie, I've eaten a lot of Girl Scout cookies this week
@ElPulpoTX that looks delicious
Is it pronounced Gulf of Merca or Gulf of Murca?
@StefanThinks the left should be working to build coalitions among groups who are not 100% aligned and stop tearing each other down. Imho
When I phrased it as what are their duties it provided an AI response. But this sent me down a bunch of searches for roles of us senators and attorneys general, etc to see what it would and wouldn't answer.
If you ask it what any other profession does, school teacher, engineer, etc. No problem.

This is the world we now live in. Google is afraid to provide an answer to a question about the role of a government office. I'm startled enough to share.
Is there really such a thing as a "normal" wash, Mr dishwasher?
