Re: I smoked a good cigar from....
I enjoyed those when they were being liquidated, the glass box was a unique presentation. Probably cost more than the cigars. Had to look up what the sad story was:

Re: What are you reading?
Holy crap, as they say. Wait till AI gets a hold of this...
As if you didn’t have enough to worry about when it comes to surveillance, researchers have discovered a new way to identify and track people using Wi-Fi signals—and I’m not talking about anything relating to your electronic devices. This tech can identify a specific, individual person, and track them in a physical space and across locations, based on how their body interacts with Wi-Fi signals.
“WhoFi,” a system developed by researchers at La Sapienza University of Rome, makes me think of that one “sonar” scene from The Dark Knight. And to be sure, tracking the way wireless electronic signals interact with the physical world isn’t anything new—almost a decade ago they figured out how to make a 3D map of a building using Wi-Fi. But this new system can “fingerprint” individual people (or at least their bodies), track them in physical space, and re-identify them in the same or a different location, based on the way Wi-Fi signals bounce off and through them.
Re: What are you reading?
what a surprise. You are paying whether you use AI or not:
As AI data centers sprout up, concerns are mounting over where the energy to power them comes from, and how to pay for it, Semafor’s Rohan Goswami reported.
US-regulated utilities asked for a record $29 billion in rate increases in the first half of 2025 alone, double last year’s level, essentially passing the cost on to customers.

Brought the dogs with us but forgot the Petey Pee sauce. This mango habanero salsa will have to do.
