    What Are You Doing Today?

    No hugs in the Windows emojis. 3 come up with a search but they're not really hugs.

    What Are You Doing Today?

    I've been on forums where people post a string of emojis. I feel as though I'm an archeologist trying to decipher hieroglyphics.

    What Are You Doing Today?

    I probably was not clear. Since you pointed out that the Windows emojis and the ones on the forum are pretty much the same, I looked to see if it was easy to add emojis to the menu in Windows so folks could do that as a work around. It can't be done.

    What Are You Doing Today?

    If I'm giving a male member a Thumbs Up for killing a deer or pulling a stump with his tractor, I do not want to inadvertently give him a hug. So we can keep them out of the Like menu.

    What Are You Doing Today?

    I just looked. You cannot import emojis to a Windows machine in order to increase your choices...what you see is what you get. They are stored in a secure font file that can neither be edited nor replaced.

    I spat in your food, Dave.

    Invasive AI

    The problem is that at some point, if we choose to eat out, that's what we'll get. And I recall those robots being used in Japan a long time ago. Dunno if it's still being done. And I see risk to them. When a robot server passes a table of pranksters en route to my table, goodness knows what...

    Invasive AI

    (Sorry for the wall of text. I seem to be in that mode lately, here and elsewhere.) I don't know where it will lead, but for now it cannot replicate human imagination, intuition or creativity. To your point, this comment I read in a Ford AI article explains it perfectly: "It looks at data...

    Invasive AI

    There are articles appearing that many businesses are pulling back from their AI stance and are rehiring employees. I read yesterday that Ford made a big announcement that they're rehiring older ("grey beard") engineers. The problem is a combination of High Cost and Low Quality. I don't know...

    Nick Nolte DUI Mugshot (Oldie)

    I quit drinking just before I turned 36. I did not want to end up like that. That is not the face of a happy, content man.

    What's for supper?

    I pulled some cooked baby back ribs out of the freezer to thaw, made some slaw, and will throw an ear of corn in the microwave. Then have a Dreamsicle.

    Predictions, Edgar Cayce, and similar topics

    My sister was into Cayce for a time. His museum (home/canter?) is in Virginia Beach. She's visited it. I have not.

    You are on a deserted island with ONLY ONE famous person,who would that famous person be and why?

    Gary Larson (Far Side creator.) I think he has the imagination required to help us both survive, and he might be entertaining to kill time with.

    America 250th anniversary this year !

    700# of fireworks is borderline terrorist intent. Were they selling locally prohibited stuff? Virginia has always had some tight rules. Folks used to drive to a place called South of the Border in South Carolina, where freedom still exists, and buy "real" fireworks to take back home. I got...

    Moving!

    The world if full of jerks, there's no doubt about that. And I've mentioned before, I was married when we bought a house, and 3 months later we split up (thank goodness we bought a house in a futile effort to bond rather than make a baby.) I kept the place when I was making $5/hour rather than...

    Prime Day

    I've never been a Prime Member (except for that brief period when they got me as I clicked through my order), and out of curiosity I perused the site yesterday. I really didn't see anything special. I find more stuff I want rummaging through second hand stores.
