I'm afraid this has political overtones but is so true and funny I don't apologise
 
 

Forcing AI shit down your throat at every possible moment is ridiculous. I just want to browse the internet and play games when I can. Infact I am having issues with Windows 11 compared to Windows 10 with literally none.
Same goes with nearly all programs/phones etc "all powered by AI". Adobe especially, jesus you cant even load the programs without it saying "powered by AI"
The AI bubble is going to burst as none of the platforms are making any money of them. I seen another article showing that AI fails at nearly 90-95% of tasks done by humans : https://www.forbes.com/sites/andreahill/2025/08/21/why-95-of-ai-pilots-fail-and-what-business-leaders-should-do-instead/
Plus all these AI machines have jacked up the price of nearly every computer components out there. Buying up all the stock for the machines and screwing us regular consumers over by paying nearly 2x more than before.

I finally after all this time knifed me a @Sharpe!!!! I can sleep well tonight.

Heard many times - "Enjoy - life goes by very quickly". Never really thought about it much till now. Boy is that true.
Seems like yesterday I was playing stick ball on the streets of the Bronx where I grew up (my game name TBB - The Bronx Bomber). Family moved to Paramus, NJ in '56.   It became known as a shopping center hub. Back then there were no shopping centers - no garden State Parkway, no high school. I was in the 4th graduating class of Paramus High School. We had our 60th reunion two years ago. From there graduated from Rutgers. Then spent 4 years getting graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. 
Spent 35 years designing and developing computer systems. After that taught math at a local college for 8 years then retired.
Bought my house in '76 - got married in '80 - my son was born in '90 - my wife passed 2012 - been with my girlfriend since 2015.
Been hanging out with a bunch of >IDIOTS< since 2010. Thanks @Ruggerxi for establishing this group. Spent many fun hours here getting to know the crew - to name a few - @loaderXI @BUDMAN  @LtLaszlo @Icequeen @WldPenguin @major-mark63  
@PimpedOutPete @jointz @bds1961 @BigPapaDean  @FRENCHI  @google  @HarryWeezer @Joe Canadian
Below pictures of my birthday dinner with my girlfriend and one of my son.  Will be revisiting this when I turn 90.  So enjoy - life goes by in a blink!!!!
  

New year, new rotation? Continuing the three month rotation I have in place, I have now created and uploaded the new packs and rotation to the server, ready for everyone to download and get in. 
!!YOU WILL NEED TO DELETE THE WIN_25 MAP PACKS FROM YOUR COD2/MAIN FOLDER!!
 I am not responsible for cleaning up your CoD2 main folder. You know the drill. You cannot delete these with the game open. You must have the game closed. If you get an invalid .iwd referenced, remember it and delete it from your CoD2 main folder.
Here are the maps:
SPR_26_SNP
cs_harbor
em_waterworld

Nice that fallen member memorial is still a thing. 💖
We lost so many friends over the years in >XI< Some of them who you had personal contact with or where close with, it hurts so much, even thinking about some of them, or when you play a map you used to play togetter and had so much fun in 🥲🥲


Never forgotten! Thank you for always remembering them. 🌹

I try to keep my job somewhat private due to lots of privacy and respect for my patients. But I had to share this because it brought a smile to my face and why I do what I do. Also this one's public so im okay. 😃

The forums are now fresh and clean from continuous spam posts. Thank you Admin Team 🫡

On a weeks vacation in the sun testing the strength of my liver!!! Back on Friday!! 

Happy Thanksgiving 

Thought I saw you running down the street trailing a load of  corn bread stuffing
