Two weeks since my last post, and... Well, not much going on here. Little of this, little of that. Lets see, 18th I met with the lawyer to wrap up the estate, Vik hadn't planned on going so soon, somewhat surprising after losing his mom a few years, but then there are really two ways to react to that, plan for your time, or try not to think about it. Guess which one he did? Yeah, bunch of accounts don't have a beneficiary, so the lawyer is working on that including subpoenaing companies for the amounts as they're not particularly interested in giving it out to a non-account holder. Well, should be, I haven't heard from them since that meeting, and I do need to pay a retainer and such before they can do anything, so going to have to check in with them. Thanksgiving was a big nothing, his family which I don't know all that well is 150 or so miles away. I had been thinking of wandering around eastern IL along I70 near to the Indiana border as its possibly where I'll relocate to, but just didn't feel like it in the end, which was prolly good considering the storm that hit today. Instead I've been doing various things around the house, packing up the books my sister wants from Vik's collection, ditto for the comics @RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist wants, though those will likely get repacked into smaller flat rate boxes, as you're not supposed to ship comics Media Mail. Also moved the altar to the book case the living room TV'd been on, I moved the TV, the unfinished media computer and the power station or whatever you call it into the computer room.
A little cramped compared to the table, but it'll do for now, after all, long term I expect to get rid of that book case as well as some of the others, so it'll be re-located to a semi-permanent home, permanent until I move then.
What else... Cancelled the WalMart+ membership, not out of any belief of striking back at them or anything, its just that now its me as both Vik and the roomy's cat passed, it just doesn't seem worth it, I get very use out of it, the only thing of value in there is the Parmount+ membership, and that's cheaper than the W+ membership. Sure, W+ offers an electric car charging discount, much like they do for fuel, however that's only for Walmart charging, and that's only in like half a dozen states right now, who knows when it'll get here, plus I mostly charge at home. Ordering a Boox Go7 tablet/e reader tonight, its basically an Android tablet with an e-ink screen, which should work for most of what I use my tablet for. Oddly I can order it direct cheaper than I can get it from WalMart.
Oh, did a small project on T-day, removed the shower doors as I've never been a fan of them. Oddly, I tossed them up on Marketplace for shits and giggles, a set of shower doors, tracks and hardware, dirty but complete free... And they were taken less than 6 hours later. Didn't think anyone wanted them any more, colour me shocked.
Kinda chipping away at various little projects, debating how I want to handle the books and comics, prolly contact Half-Price Books for the former, I have a CSV file with all of them, as for the comics... Not sure, have a store that's supposed to be buying them, but I'll prolly be old and grey by the time they make an offer, so I might just throw the collection on Marketplace at a flat price and see what I get, 10,500 comics with a few graphic novels for... $7K maybe? I think that's a very generous price, prolly higher than a store would give me, but still quite reasonable.
Beyond that, gotta get my insurance situation sorted out, and that's about it other than chipping away at the estate.

So, y'all might remember that I arbitrarily decided that March was cover song month, and posted a song a day.
Well, I had so much fun I decided next year was going to be a repeat, so I started collecting songs, and ... Well, I have enough for next month, and 9 so far for 2027. Amazingly enough, no repeats, and no violating the rules, must be a released song, can't be a comedy band.
#Ukraine struck the #Saratov #oil #refinery, a facility that produces more than 20 petroleum products and supplies the #Russian army. The strike sparked a fire at the site, though the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, according to the report.
#Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted the refinery in Saratov Oblast this fall, with the previous strike recorded on Nov. 14. The latest Nov. 28 attack is the fifth since the start of the season.
@John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺 Thanks, I struggle with describing pics and putting pics into words, but haven't found a solution here, I used to use AltBot, but it got so glitchy that I gave up on it
You're welcome! I also struggle while writing descriptions, though I think I get better through making the effort. I'm able to use Google Lens for quick text recognition, so I try to help with it where I can.
Oh joy, it snowed. Meh, pup doesn't like snow, thank you very much. Going to be watching Ryan Hall for a bit this morn ( youtube.com/live/Z0YWlul2v90 ), and do stuff around the house, we are so not going out in this, especially as its still coming down
Its that kind of morning, woke up around 0330 to use the bathroom, and didn't fall back to sleep until after 0600, in and out of sleep until getting up near 0900. Going to be a long day me thinks, that or there's going to be a lot of coffee and at least one nap.
Airbus said a recent incident involving an A320-family aircraft had revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.
My monthly prescription in the USA is about $380. From China for the same price, that's about a thousand years worth. I have a few lives worth left....
@dianea My son’s (17y) expenses for insulin in Denmark are equivalent of around 20 usd per month. When he becomes adult next year, the cost will be around 50 usd. The system in USA sounds insane 😳
The obvious flaw in this post is that this has nothing to do with a free market. The Open Insulin Project stands ready and eager to provide safe, effective, cheap insulin. What stops them? Not #capitalism. Not the #freemarket. It's the #FDA. It's the government controlling markets, which is not what #capitalists want; it's the doctrine of #socialism.
This Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday – let’s make our dollars count. We’re asking Americans to hit pause on shopping from major corporations. Skip the companies undermining democracy. Shop small, local, or with businesses affirming our humanity.
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.
Donald Trump's immigrant detention and deportation policies have poured billions of dollars to ICE and have increased the profits of for-profit private companies who are creating private prison and immigration detention centers.
This includes $45 billion for building new immigration detention centers, $29.9 billion toward ICE’s enforcement and deportation operations, and limiting the number of immigration judges to 800 despite record backlogs in the immigration court system.
We are looking for an investor who can lend 150,000 US dollars to our holding company.
We are looking for an investor who can invest 150,000 US dollars in our holding.
We are looking for an investor who can provide a budget of 150,000 US dollars for our holding.
With a budget of 150,000 US dollars that you will invest in our holding, we will produce an artificial intelligence-supported device called Mindova, which will measure people's physical and mental data and evaluate this data with artificial intelligence, guiding people in a healthy life.
“Mindova” is an artificial intelligence-supported coach that analyzes your personal health data (sleep, heart rate, step count, mood, blood values, nutrition, etc.).
Mindova is a device that analyzes the user's physical and mental data with artificial intelligence and works as a personal health assistant.
People experience mental fatigue, stress, and physical health problems. However, everyone's lifestyle, biology, and psychology are different. Current apps offer "general recommendations," not personalized ones.
Stress, anxiety, lack of focus, insomnia and loss of motivation are on the rise in people worldwide. Current wellness apps give everyone the same advice, there are no personalized solutions. People want a healthy life but can't find a personal system to guide them.
AI-based mental health applications, in particular, are one of the areas where investors are currently pouring the most money (Calm, Headspace, Wysa, Replika, Mindstrong, etc.).
In short, the applications at the lower level of the project we are doing are generating billions of dollars. We are building a project that receives large investments across the market.
We will sell our product at a price of 300 US dollars.
We will have our product produced by technology companies in India, thus eliminating the need for labor and producing a quality product at a low cost.
We will sell our product in two ways. First, we will create our own website, display our product internationally on our website and sell it all over the world. Thanks to our strong advertising network, we will introduce and sell our products to many people and achieve large sales in a short time. Second, we will make agreements with technology stores around the world and sell them to them. They will sell to people in their own countries and earn money.
There will be a 2-month production process and a 2-month sales process, so we will be able to achieve great income by working quickly and in a balanced manner.
