Well well. Tina Kotek is the least popular governor in the nation. Just like her predecessor. No surprise there. So why does she and her party keep winning? Stupid voters in the state's biggest cities? Cheating? Both? Does she represent all of Oregon? Or just some of it?

Coding with AI. "I'm never going back." Yup, I feel the same way. You may hesitate, thinking that it's cheating, but you learn a whole lot of things that you never knew. It's like having a smart colleague advising you and giving you helpful tips and tricks. I'm never going back either.

A speech prosthesis in the hippocampus and frontal lobe. What?? I gotta see how this works, but I can't get access to this article. It converts impulses from the anterior cingulate and orbitofrontal cortices, and hippocampus, and converts them into vocalizations. I suspect that machine learning was used and wonder which ones. Pretty cool tech.

Chinese drones are being used to remove trash from Mt. Everest. That'll help clean things up a bit.

This is why so many people think that everyone agrees with them. Tiktok makes you think that, and feeds your ego. But Facebook has been doing that as well for years, so it's not something new. This sure explains the stark political divide we see.

Another one bites the dust. Dosha is closing after two decades. Yeah, in the place where they're located, there probably aren't many who want to risk getting the latest cosmetics and getting pampered. Those were for the better days. The article doesn't say where they're going. Where would they go? I don't see the Pearl District as being any better. Lake Oswego has wealthy residents, but they were probably looking for urbanites looking to give themselves a treat. I don't see L.O. ladies being the NYC East Central Park types. Not even West Linn. Downtown Beaverton isn't there yet, and with the shelters that are being built downtown, I would be careful about relocating there, too.

Chronic anxiety increases dementia risk, but chronic benzodiazepines usage really increases dementia risk. So if you have chronic anxiety, look for other solutions for relief.
