I am quite behind here lately. Granted, many might be like, "Porwest who?" I will be doing some catching up. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see. Of course, as you all know, I have been playing around with AI a bit. It's got my creative...

A Morning Surprise

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126586) • Gainesville, Florida 15 Nov

A few mornings ago, as I was sitting in my kitchen enjoying a cup of hot coffee, I heard a very loud and distinct cry of a bird of prey. And VERY close. I immediately jumped up, went out the French doors to my back patio, and saw...

Wow it must be real slow on the lot.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (81248) • Daytona Beach, Florida 30 Nov

I just put on the radio via Apple music, and started playing catch up. And, with voiceover slowing me down, I got through the recent posts and the notifications in about half an hour. I do tend to skip some posts of course, simply...

Kayla Tsukino @porwest I don't know how tech savey you are, but there's more to it than just monitoring posts. There's bandwith, server things, and tech stuff on the back end they're struggling with. More traffic means more strain on the bandwith, which slows down the site....

I Have A Better Idea for Avoiding or Ending Shutdowns

Jim Bauer @porwest (111560) • United States 9 Nov

You know, I have to say, I applaud Senator John Kennedy's bills proposing that during future government shutdowns, lawmakers don't get paid. But let's face it. Is that enough? They're all millionaires in the Congress and in the...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest About 30 years ago, when I started my career job at a city municipality, my take home pay at that point became my “set” salary. No matter what increases I received over the next 30 years, I kept my take home pay at that same amount, and everything...

Feeding your dog DRY DOG FOOD is animal abuse! Do you agree?

Melanie Marie @Melanie_Marie (2380) • St. Clair, Michigan 4 Dec

This is just what I’ve heard around YouTube and by some vets, and a couple Carnivore Community members + doctors. They say dry dog food is full of stuff dogs don’t naturally eat, corn, wheat, fillers, etc. I don’t...

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (126586) • Gainesville, Florida 5 Dec

In my last discussion I wrote about a mishap I had at the shooting range when I removed my flash suppressor off of the barrel of my semi-automatic rifle. The result was that I singed all the hair off my arms. Luckily, that was the...
