    Recommendations for Bedding & Linens

    I saw one I liked on Mercado Libre but it was quite expensive. Then I saw the same one on Amazon for one quarter of the price and they said they'd ship it to Argentina so I ordered it but they never shipped it.

    My Skynet Moment

    I submitted my request and then look carefully at the itinerary that was produced. I have no idea whether this is or recommended approach or not, but I modified my request to exclude and include certain things and change the style of presentation. On the 2nd or 3rd pass I got something I liked...

    My Skynet Moment

    I'm pretty sure it wasn't impersonating my ex, there were no profanities or background noises of people shoveling coal into ovens. There's lots of discussion of AI becoming smarter than us in two years but will it still be limited to doing only what we ask it to do?

    I fell for an online scam that is withdrawing from my bank account

    Anybody can say they are Zara or your bank, always take a moment to go to their actual website before doing any transactions with them. If in doubt call them. I use a small app, Quicken Simplifi, that shows me any transactions hitting my accounts or cards. It's caught a few times when vendors...

    My Skynet Moment

    I'm planning a trip to a half dozen destinations and asked Grok to suggest a schedule of activities at each destination based on a list of my criteria. I've already been through guidebooks and was interested to see if Grok could suggest new ones and help me organize them. I think Grok added some...

    My Skynet Moment

    Pardon the non-BSAS post... Today an AI scolded me for not being up to it’s standards. I was working on a project, multitasking and using Gemini AI to organize my results when it told me: “You’ve already given me that query. For the sake of efficiency I’m going to ignore the request you just...

    Need US phone number

    I just did Tello on my phone. Esim so just downloaded and installed. Didn't have to be in the US (don't remember if I used a vpn). Getting sms codes, no problem.

    Need US phone number

    Try Tello for a month, then save money by signing up for a year. Unless your needs are different from everyone else's you should be satisfied.

    Buquebus Etiquette

    Of course, it would have to be something that I wouldn't mind getting stolen, perhaps unimportant documents left on a seat.

    Buquebus Etiquette

    I always leave a personal item on the seat to indicate that I'll return for it. Otherwise I cant expect anyone to know.

    Has Anyone Tried Alibaba?

    Buquebus Etiquette

    Like I said, I almost always yield in order to avoid a hassle but, my wife and I were settled with out suitcases and the request was so bizarre I opted to play it out. The was no harm done and now I'm aware of the seat-soda protocol in BsAs. Now I'm curious about another incident. We were...
