Seems like discussing the developer that was fired from Google for claiming that the Google AI is sentient would be border line on that?

Hi Chris! Long time!
That's a very nice, "PC" way of putting it 
But to be fair, I've seen plenty of M$ bashing and trolling (and yes, I know it is out of love) --- and they deserve it somewhat
Regards,

I have no idea how I found the word today. According to WordleBot there was just one possible solution after my second guess. I guessed in less than 10 seconds and⦠solved!

7 weeks to go and I have SERIOUS short timer disease. I know it will pass, but at the moment...
Very heavy weather the last few days in the southeastern US... tornadoes up where one set of grandkids live, tornadoes a bit north of me, but....
530am - thunderstorm moving through the area, nice breeze blowing through the office, I just need to sedate the geriatric golden that I know has less than 6 months to live  Hips are failing.

Back when I was working with a lot of USAF officers, they called the syndrome FIGMO: F___It - Got My Orders. Is this a change of jobs, or actual retirement? I retired in 2016 then, last year, got a call from an old boss asking me to come back to help build an infrastructure for a new Tribe. So far it's been way more fun than retirement!

" Is this a change of jobs, or actual retirement?"
Actually both. I've mainly worked/consulted at this one place for 20+ years. The culture changed management-wise 5 or so years ago. Left a bad taste in my mouth, but the $$ was too good to walk away from. 5 years later, I'm in a better position financially, and I'm just tired of doing the same stuff. I expect to expand my local consulting to help small local businesses, etc that seem to be paying way, way too much for IT support.
One thing I'll admit too - after busting it for 40+ years, "retirement" is a hard thing to get my head around. One exciting concept is to be able to say, "I think I'll go fishing today..." and I don't like to fish, but my grandson loves it.

The best bit I found was looking at the clock at 06:30 and thinking "what shall I waste my time doing today?".

I can't do that. I relate to guys like Gene Winfield, working at 91 because he loves it.

Yep, I retired in '16 then went back to work last year. I'm not sure when I'll be ready to stop doing, if ever!

My point was that I do not have to get up at that time. I can work in my own time at my own pace.

I retired about 5 yrs ago. I do veggie garden, fishing and computer stuff; things that I really enjoy doing and all on my own time. That's my formula. It's a good mix of physical and mental activities.

Iβm in the same situation. One good thing we can do at my work is ease into retirement. Presently I have voluntarily moved to 4 day week, and I can at my discretion drop further days and slowly transition work to other people.
After working for nearly 50 years I would hate to go from a 5 day week to nothing all at once. Sounds good in theory but I fear in reality it wouldnβt be. Hence I see this as a training period and readjustment of my lifestyle for retirement.

The customer is willing to do that, and has said, hey, if you ever want to come back.... which was very gratifying. I'm starting to see the benefits of sabbaticals with one looking me in the face.
