Every so often I go read the Amazon reviews for replacement SawStop cartridges and see how many fingers have been saved lately Even the folks reporting false positives on wet wood, nails, etc almost always give five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A five star review from Calvin:

“I love my fingers”
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014

One day I did something stupid and jammed my thumb into the spinning blade of my table saw I expected 3/4 inch of the end of my thumb to be gone, blood all over the place, and a $10,000 trip to the hospital.

Fortunately that spinning blade was on a SawStop saw and I received only a tiny nick. Just down to the pink, no bleeding. I put a band aid on it and sat in the corner until my heart rate slowed to normal.
The brake cartridge and blade were toast but less than $200 to replace.
If l'd cut off my finger it would have been my fault, no question. But since we all eventually do something careless this system is worth every penny. Besides, it is a great saw.
Five star review from MIKE D.

The indirect benefits of free lunches

Screenshot of a tweet taken from yet another social network but summarize that it is a note to summarize a quote of a quote here a paper from the National Bureau of economic research showing a result that free lunch programs reduce the amount that parents spend at grocery stores which makes grocery stores cut their prices because demand is down and so everyone in the area gets lower grocery prices

AI has destroyed search. But there is help. This genius page strips the AI functionality away returning actual search results. It’s all I use now and highly recommended it: udm14.com

Now that's some proper attic archaeology, yes kids, this is what M&Ms were called and how they were packaged in the Netherlands when auntie Jo was young:

There an episode of the 60s Fantastic Four cartoon where Reed Richards pokes his head up from the side of a skyscraper and says so deadpan, "well there you are, whoever you are!" and this will be a part of my lexicon meeting new people from now on.
