RN SFD! Sorry I can’t type that out but it is a statement of frustration. This afternoon our water softener ran a recharge cycle which is normal. Walked out into the garage and there is a puddle of water around the water softener. A little checking and it appears the power head on the resin tank has sprung a leak. Luckily a replaceable part but still……😩

RN, sorry to hear about your situation, so frustrating I'm sure.
RN, I had an early doctor appointment and on my way back home it rained cats and dogs. So much so that I pulled over until that downpour passed. I couldn't believe how fast the streets flooded.

RN son spent the night on a bench in the Denver airport. He was on his way to Las Vegas and made it to Denver when all the planes were grounded. The airlines advised not to leave the airport as they were “jury rigging” the flight plans by the minute to get everything up and running and didn’t know for sure what flights were leaving for where and when. Supposedly his flight to Vegas will now be 11:30 AM Denver time. 🤞

RN my sister was supposed to return from AZ last night so she is stuck. Thought she would fly out today-cancelled again-now moved to tomorrow night. At least she will be flying into Paine Field and won’t have to deal with SeaTac.
Mack, hope all went well for your son.

RN I hope everyone trying to get someplace, that when they finally get there, so does their luggage.

Glad he made it safely, Mack.

RN I signed up for chatGPT plus for business and household purposes. I can't believe how awesome it is for planning and figures. But is gave me the first message that startled me.
"Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and give those doggies some love from me! 🐶❤️"
haha, this is so fn weird.

RN, I agree it's incredibly helpful and disturbingly lifelike. It plays the role of a helpful personable friend very well. Also, although I'm consciously quite careful about putting a lot of personal information about myself out onto the Internet, it's remarkable how much it comes to know about you.
Glad things got sorted out for your son, Mack.

You kids (I am 78 now) be REALLY careful with that seductive AI shit. I did ONE intensive foray that Kim Komando suggested about deciding whether or not to replace or repair ageing computers (of which I have a whole fleet), copy out the basics of my machine, huge file, and then ask it to analyze whether I should repair or replace. It did an excellent job of telling me that my machines were VERY good (thank you Car54, member long departed) but really old. And then it told me all the things I could do to try to salvage those machines, IF I wanted to try it.
Heh.
And then I told it that it might have convinced me to just buy a new laptop. And it phrased its responses with thing beginning like, "honestly, blah blah blah" And then I tried a few Juju-style responses, with some oblique jokes and sarcasms. because the "honestly" approach is always anything but.
My take-away was that I was corresponding with an obsequious toady, and it felt pretty icky.
ALL of us still here have always been pretty sychophant-resistant, but oh, it was indeed seductive.
So, I do use it, but just for simple things, like asking what time today yesterday's historic rocket launch (which we watched) was going to return to the launch tower. And the AI bot said 3:20, so we went up to the 8th floor of our condo building and watched rocket history being made.
Of course, if it had been a failure, like yesterday's air traffic controller glitch, we could have all died, standing on our highrise condos.
We live in interesting times, kids.
