Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

I never gave it any thought, have never had any hesitation for over 13 years. That is, to keep "all" my money in an internet bank.

Flash forward to 2025, when I actually wanted my money, to buy a car.

How much money, $60,000.

The entire U.S. economy rests on a single point of failure — 12,500 miles above us. It’s called GPS, and its loss would be catastrophic. Fortunately, the Trump administration is uniquely positioned to prevent this looming threat.

I totally get it, here in 2025, being into cars isn't a thing. But for older folks, it was.

Yesterday, a '57 Buick Roadmaster was caught by my dash cam. I posted it and a bunch of folks on the forum loved the car.

There was a thread a few weeks back about misplaced gift cards. http://www.poi-factory.com/node/54566
