Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
can a Mod fix a post headline error?
Nope!
thanks, at least my mistake was easy to notice and corrected in comments
I e got TRB and AMF products, and have no idea how to cash them out. Could anyone have any knowledge on how to do this?
does anyone else dislike Rumble and other sites method of describing when a video or article was produced, uploaded, or written, such as 3 years ago, 9 years ago, 25 days ago…? I prefer actual dates, such as May 10, 1912 (for example, one of Trump’s grandmother’s b-day in Scotland)
Me too. But in most places if you hover over that (esp in comments) it usually shows the full date
I enjoyed the Manchurian Candidate movie someone recommended the other day.

Dear Lord and Savior, thank you for your Word and promises. Thank you for the assurance you give us through the Holy Spirit of Truth. Thank you that you are in control and we do not have to fear, that you have already conquered the dark, arrogant, forces that try to overcome us. Let us focus on you to lead us into the light of peace to the place you have prepared for us. In your holy name, Jesus, Amen.

Have a blessed day.
"Do Not Let Your Hearts Be Troubled And Do Not Be Afraid." My Morning Bible Read (Again) Was John 14. Jesus comforts his disciples, shows the way to the Father, and promises the Holy Spirit of Truth.
Ah, i just happened to read this verse yesterday!
God's works are kinda hard to ignore these days. 💕
Saw this on a site just now, this is how AI should be!
*Actual Intelligence
There you go. Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a Constitutional Republic, with the few genuine government duties handled by Actual Intelligence? Also, wouldn't it be great if our daily lives were run with Actual Intelligence?
Actual Efficiency, Actual Responsibility and Actual Value.

This is a very interesting read.

Worth reading through this to get a sense of "Veep Kammy's" parents. A blurb about her dad --
"... It was also where she would meet her husband. Unlike Shyamala, Donald Harris didn’t come from a political background. But he too had experienced colonial oppression firsthand — Donald was a young man when Jamaica gained independence from Britain in 1962 — and in his academic work he explored how Marxist economics could both explain and revive struggling Third World economies. ..."

Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) --
" 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. "

Hi Dog. The WW2 Ghost Army wasn't a US effort, it was an allied effort that included the Canadians, New Zealanders, the Free French and The Brits.
Since much of the 23rd’s operations involved signals and sound projection, there was a great deal of Bell Telephone Laboratories involvement, supplying high-power audio amplifiers and (then) state of the art wire recorders creating “mix tapes” of the sounds of foot, truck and armored vehicle movements and radio sets and accessories for bogus signal traffic. Radio operators were trained to mimic the “fist” of other Morse code operators, previously thought to be impossible; a Morse operator’s style or “fist” is as distinctive as one’s handwriting. There were Broadway scenic artists, Hollywood craft and scenic designers, graphic artists and fine art painters who worked to present realistic scenes of equipment parks and encampments. One of the Brits involved was a theater illusionist from a generational family of magicians. Theirs was a story of hidden work that did not create heros but saved many lives none the less.
