^ I dunno. I never tried it. I also quit smoking pot and drinking booze.

[ER]

Congratulations, RC, you did what a lot of people who want to do those things haven't been able to. I hope it brings great benefits to your life.

Is CBD the snake oil of the 2020s?

Yes.

Is CBD the snake oil of the 2020s?

Maybe? The 2020's have been (so far) really bizarre, so I won't be surprised if CBD is snake oil or not.

Ever attempted to have a long conversation with an AI program?

And, oh, yeah, I'm not answering my own questions, am I?

Let's see:

Deodorant
Yes, you can smell coffee on people.
It is snake oil, or at least greatly exaggerated.
Yes, I have had long conversations with AI.

[RCMerchant]

^ Never.

Really? It's mildly fun on an irregular basis, kind of like talking to a teenager with a really low attention span and no clue about half what you're talking about, but who on the flip side oddly knows a lot about some subjects.

I never got past asking my alexa dot what day it is, & telling it to shut up every time it mis heard something on the radio.....

With Lent starting here's my question; do you consider seafood to be meat?
For me I do consider it to be meat.

[Alex]

Well, it ain't a vegetable or mineral.

[ER]

Me? Yes. The Catholic Church considers such things, I believe, meat of a lower variety, so more acceptable, but as it also thinks it can turn wine into blood, why take its word on anything?

Oh, yeah, it is Ash Wednesday, isn't it?

Um, isn't it?

[ER]

This site is a relic of an earlier age of the internet. Is it just me or was the internet more fun back when this place came to exist?

[Alex]

There was a time when the Internet was like the Wild West. In many ways it still is, but governments do tend to be fun police and are slowly taming it.

Yes, but I rarely eat it unless it's fried (like bluegill or smelt).
