Humans have always used technology to work less.

Re: Fall School

From your own source: Although many questions remain, the preponderance of evidence indicates that children and adolescents are less likely to be symptomatic and less likely to have severe disease resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, children may be less likely to become infected and t...

Blush? reddening of your face? It’s not uncommon for someone with a viral infection to have a rash. You should get that checked out.

Re: Is there a difference?

We did get it there, at the warehouse. Has a small dent on top that you really can't see unless you look close. Got a good price, ,just that the customer service and delivery service wasn't as good as we had hoped. I've had similar experiences with delivery. No call no shows, etc. I almost exclusiv...

Re: Peoria makes national news

I didn't invent the concept. As you see in the articles I posted, other agencies are using social media to help fight violence. Don't you think cops in Peoria are smart enough to figure it out?

Re: This scammer caught

A local grocery store chain has had issues of a man, and accompanied by 1 of two women, putting less than $2 into a coin collection machines, getting the ticket, and somehow changing it via computer software to read in the hundreds of dollars. Not sure how he was able to do that, print out on same ...
