    Smooth and so shiny!

  • Apple Executive Says AirTags Designed to Track Items, Not Children or Pets - MacRumors

    If parents would like to safely track their young children, she suggests an Apple Watch with ‌Family Setup‌ might be a better choice.

    And by better, she means more expensive.

    Washing Cars

    Good afternoon job,

    Line them up and knock them out.

    Feeling accomplished.

  • I’ve found Panda Express to be very consistent. At being terrible.

  • For all of the excitement about the “redesigned” iMac, it looks pretty much the same to me as the previous version. I understand the why behind the chin, which to me, was always the most distinctive design feature.

    It’s still there.

    Bribe - Catholic Husband

    I think that children should do the right thing because it’s what’s asked of them. But now and then, it’s okay to hold out a carrot and see what happens.

    Sunday Afternoon Walmart

    A bad idea,

    So busy, slow self-checkout.

    Don’t do that again!

  • Biden Rebuffed Commanders’ Advice in Decision to Leave Afghanistan - WSJ

    Mr. Biden carefully weighed the military’s input, officials say, but was determined to bring involvement in America’s longest-running war to an end by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks that led to U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan.

    VE Day was 76 years ago, yet we still maintain massive garrisons in Germany and England. Same goes for Japan and Korea. I like to think those nations are pretty stable.

    The Pentagon wanted 2,500 troops to remain in Afghanistan, a rounding error when compared to troops stationed in Europe/Asia.

    Full Day of Play

    No school to be done,

    Went to planetarium.

    Built LEGOS and more!

  • Apple Music Reveals How Much It Pays When You Stream a Song - WSJ

    Apple Music told artists it pays a penny per stream

    Huh. So an artist needs about 1,500 streams to replace a single CD sale’s gross proceeds.

  • Intelligence Was Limited That Russia Offered Bounties on U.S. Troops, White House Says - WSJ

    On Thursday, the administration said U.S. intelligence had only “low to moderate confidence” in the reports of the alleged bounty program.

    Election’s over, our guy won, we can tell the truth now.
