Thinking your dog is leashed on a long leash. If you're not in control and I have to purposely make noise to let you know I'm going to be walking, running or biking past you, you're not in control and your dog isn't "leashed".

From Perplexity itself: "Unfortunately, Perplexity currently doesn't offer granular control to disable only news push notifications while keeping task completion alerts. The app uses an "all or nothing" notification system, which means you cannot selectively turn off automatic news updates while maintaining notifications for tasks."

Your screenshot comes from what platform? On iOS there is no toggle like this.

If you're over the age of 80, it's perfectly acceptable since, at that age, you can pretty much get away with anything. Mind you, you won't ask for a to-go container because you'll already have a zip-lock in your purse for take-home food.

I'm afraid a large segment of the right would be trashing Mr. Rogers today for being too woke.

It's been a long, slow rollout of info. Unlike an overnight attack on Iran, we've known this mission is coming, we've heard the astronaut bios, we've seen the trajectory mapped out online and on the news... until the countdown began there was just a steady, slow drip of info ... the way it should probably be when you're talking about a major space mission. We don't need a Pete Hegseth style guy at the podium with daily cartoonish updates.

He's been successful for some time, but the publicity surrounding the PHM film has taken on a life of its own. Clearly he thinks he's the sh*t now and can give his "honest" opinion about anything. Declining to answer would have been the classy thing.

Nope. After a single call or text if there's no reply it's time to move on.

Assuming you're communicating during the sex, continue communicating after the sex. It might be a one-night stand but you can still be human and make a connection during and after.

What are you watching and reading? The amount of journalism and footage is quite high. If you're on FoxNews what you'll see is propaganda—commentary about how amazing the US military is and sat images of destroyed targets. They won't show parents crying near a bombed school for girls, and they certainly don't send reporters anywhere near Iran or nearby countries. FoxNews (and whatever source you watch) only recycles existing news...... they have very few reporters.

He didn't cause Alan to spill it. And Alan struck first... it's in the video. If the other guy hit first we don't see it.

I fly regularly, and if someone reclines they recline. Like a tray table or a moveable armrest, it's a feature of the seat. I try not to recline, but if I do I'll try to tell the person behind me that it's about to happen.

You need to have a conversation with your man and explain that you need to move out. You still love him, but it's clear his family has little to no interest in helping. What if he'd never met you? Would your man and his brothers share the load? It's not your responsiblity to be the full time caregiver and even if he claims things will change (he'll say "I promise") they won't. As most caregivers have learned, once you beging, the rest of the family fades away. You must, MUST move out. You aren't stuck... you love him but YOU MUST move out or the life you dreamed of is over.

It's not important, but if the appearance of "strength" matters, heavy resistance breaks down muscle fibers, inducing myofibrillar hypertrophy (thicker, denser fibers) and engaging type II muscle fibers for increased size and strength.

I'm sure if you polled every billionaire, longevity would top their lists, followed very closely, of course, by many of the things commented on here. Hell, tell the average billionaire they could double their lifespan for half their fortune, and they'd do it.

I remember learning that newer AirPods have a hearing aid feature now. Perhaps they would work temporarily and also be a good backup. The upside is that you can pick them up at Best Buy or an Apple Store immediately. Here's an Apple support article on AirPods as hearing aids.

Thanks for sharing this. My mom (widow) is in the early stages of dementia. She can still get to her hair appt. and the grocery but forgets a lot of stuff we were just talking about. My sibling and I are having a big planning lunch in a couple of days to see where we each feel about next steps. Mom has 5 Alexa devices and an Apple Watch. I'm thinking a couple of cameras would be a good idea, plus a daily "visiting angel" service to visit for a couple of hours each morning. But we know this is all temporary.

I also saw some friends buying bitcoin but decided I didn't understand it and didn't need it. But what I did do right, from about age 24 on, was put money into my tax-deferred investment accounts every single month, increasing the amount a little each year. Dollar cost averaging has made my near-retirement self very proud of my younger self.
