As cheap as I am, there are still certain brands of things that just stand out for me and tend to wind up in my cart despite the premium price. But some things are also just worth it. Take Rain-X windshield washer fluid. It's the...

Jim Bauer I agree. On top of that many people don't know that many store brands are actually made by the same companies who make the brand names. I cite this often using Great Value. Their coffee is made by Sara Lee and so is Great Value bread. Great Value jellies and...

Jim Bauer @moffittjc Maybe not. Not sure. Then again, they are still storing hundreds of thousands of posts from members not even active anymore, and I would say the vast majority of them are just sitting there untouched, unread, and forgotten about. Not that I want...

By their nature, dreams are often weird. But sometimes they of course take on a very different kind of weird, and usually when that happens, our first thought tends to be, "Must have been something in what I ate," and that often...

Jim Bauer @grenery8 I guess we have to assign some line of reasoning to crazy things in our lives. lol Otherwise we just have to admit we might be insane.

Jim Bauer That can't be healthy if you don't dream much. It means you aren't getting proper sleep since REM sleep is the most important sleep, and REM is the deepest sleep state in which we dream.

Jim Bauer Wouldn't it be fun if we could record them and watch them when we are awake? At the same time, I think it would be fun too to be able to control what we do in our dreams more.

Jim Bauer @kareng At the same time, we get it wrong more often than not. How many times have eggs been good for you, bad for you, good for you. Same goes for milk. Same goes for bacon. Same goes for certain fats. Good for you, then bad for you, oh wait, now we figure...

Jim Bauer I dislike using AI for any writing projects, although it can sometimes be useful in doing some research. I never want to rely on it, but for something like pictures, it can be fun and useful.

Jim Bauer You can definitely tell most of them are AI. It generates wonky things like jumbled words or extra fingers. But it's fun to play around with it a bit, and of course, it will improve the more it "learns."
