Not sure where you are but in C FL, we have had rain almost every day since the first week of June.

We did 4th of July fireworks in rain, in between downpours.
Been a very wet summer.

During a Fox interview with Ryan in the lobby, pretty sure Cooper was standing behind him and she looked like she always did.
What type of home network is he using?

If using Ubiquity, they are releasing a battery powered Smoke and CO2 detector soon.

Ubiquity Store - Smoke Detector.
I have no problem with people want single sex gyms but to use Lust as a reason is silly.

Good thing they stopped shipping out the JCPenny's catalog.

I upgraded from the 4k stock to the cube for my primary tv and got an ir extender so I could put the cube in the cabinet.

I love it.

I have no doubt that internal teams will be able to build some in house tools and automatons that they are currently relying upon outside vendors but the core services of companies like Oracle, Salesforce or MS will be safe. I think AI will help companies on both sides.

Free OpenOffice / Libra Office has been out for over 20 years and people still buy Excel.

Even services like Wordpress that many people are replacing with AI generated websites will still enjoy a huge portion of the market going forward for reasons of security, familiarity and scale.

Enterprise will require enterprise support and security.

Do Govt offices including Parliment have AC?
Does Buckingham palace have AC?
