re: Check your old HS Yearbook lately? (Quick memories share, waaay different era X-D )

Wait...this isn't your yearbook. It's pictures from the 1964 National Lampoon's yearbook parody.

Do you dry and put away your pots and pans? Or leave them to dry on a drying rack?
Posted by StringedInstruments on 4/17/24 at 12:23 pm
I have zero memories of pots and pans being left out to dry when I was growing up. We would use a towel to hand dry everything and put them away.
My wife always sets up a drying station and leaves things to dry over night. Then we put them away the next morning or before cooking the next night. ...

re: Robert Kraft “warned” Falcons Owner Arthur Blank not to hire Bill Belichick

I was expecting Kraft's warning to be, "Bill once had the fire to win championships, but since Brady's last season, he's coasting for a few wins to get the ...

Yes depending on how much access it had to a person’s life. Considering we’re uploading a ton online about ourselves, AI could easily emulate our personality and character.
