I just wanted to post a big milestone for me..... I'm retired!  After 10 years in the Armed Forces, 10 years as a high school biology teacher, and 30 years as a Registered Nurse, but at almost 68 it's time for me to spend some quality time with the family and the beach! I will still be hanging around here, but if I don't make sense, it;s just senior moments!  :)

Just a note to remind you to stay active as best you can otherwise retirement can be detrimental to your health. Can't count how many people I've known that have gone downhill after retiring and it's been mainly because they do nothing.

I've been retired for 14 years and loving it. I think I'm even more active than when I was working and feel even better both emotionally and physically.

Congrats!!

I really appreciate the advice. I work out all of the time and will teach part time. We have a beach house, so it is very tempting to just go there and look at all the sights on the beach!!

Congratulations on your retirement. I retired at the end of 2015. And then in 2018 got diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Make sure you get a psa test every year. If caught early, most men will be okay. As a nurse, you probably know this, except my cancer groups always have medical doctors that have advanced prostate cancer. Go figure that out!

Lol! Yes, I know there is a blood test, but the colonoscopy is the gold standard and I already had polyps removed, so I will only do that (as unsavory as it is). That's my RN voice speaking....

Well, that'll be a bit of excitement for you every 3 years then! ;)

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
