Why do I feel like I REALLY missed out on living in a WONDERFUL decade of the 1960's?

although it looks cool.

Thank you @James Thomas Rook Jr. for the obvious answer...

The New York Times reported Saturday morning that an elderly man was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital’s branch in Brooklyn for abdominal surgery. After getting his blood tested, it was revealed that he was infected with Candida auris, a fungus that was recently discovered but has been identified in patients around the world. The fungus is most deadly to those with already weak immune systems.
The elderly man, who was not named by the Times, was isolated in the intensive care unit, but died 90 days later. What makes his case so frightening is that after his death, doctors tested his room and discovered the fungus was everywhere.
“Everything was positive — the walls, the bed, the doors, the curtains, the phones, the sink, the whiteboard, the poles, the pump,” Dr. Scott Lorin, president of the Brooklyn branch, told the Times. “The mattress, the bed rails, the canister holes, the window shades, the ceiling, everything in the room was positive.”
The hospital had to use “special cleaning equipment” and even had to remove part of the ceiling and floors to get rid of the fungus.
Reports of C. auris have come from Venezuela, Spain, Great Britain, India, Pakistan, and South Africa, according to the Times. In the U.S., patients in Illinois and New Jersey have also been reported, as well as others in New York.
The Centers for Disease Control said it “identified 51 clinical case-patients and 61 screening case-patients” in New York alone. The CDC reported 45% of the clinical case-patients died within 90 days.
Further, in the same study linked above, 98% of the clinical-case patients were resistant to fluconazole, which is used to treat serious fungal infections such as meningitis. The strength and resistance of the infection led the CDC to deem C. auris an “serious threat,” and said it infected 3,400 and caused 220 deaths per year.
The CDC also reported that the median age for the clinical case-patients was 72, but that the ages of those infected ranged from 21 to 96 years. Fifty-one percent of those infected were male, and all patients had “serious concurrent medical conditions,” such as needing “mechanical ventilation or central venous catheters or gastrostomy tubes.”
Infections like C. auris have been able to thrive due to the overuse of antibiotics, the Times reported. Such over-prescribing has reduced the effectiveness of the drugs, allowing once curable bacterial infections to thrive once again. Now, fungal infections are becoming resistant.
Naturally, those most at risk of these “superbugs” are newborns and the elderly, who generally have weaker immune systems.

“Komodo Dragon has a hearsay story that gets told now and then by partners of old. It’s the “mistake blend”. I can’t totally vouch for this story’s accuracy. The story goes that the Starbucks master coffee experts at the headquarters were cupping a coffee blend for quality. Only they noticed it something was off. It was a blend where the roaster had used the wrong coffee components and formulation. It was a mistake. So the lore goes, just then a bigwig walked into the coffee quality room and tried it and said, “This is a great coffee! What is it?” And that was the birth of the big, spicy coffee which is Komodo Dragon.”

So this guy at the gym (former pool guy) was telling me that if there is a lot of foam circulating in the middle of the spa while the bubbles are pumped in that it is a sign of some nasty stuff.
I didn't know this
Anyone know more about this? -
@James Thomas Rook Jr. I found out today that these things are loaded with preservatives... I mean a whole paragraph of chemicals.
But still delicious.

@Srecko Sostar I made the new topic. Not @The Librarian
I thought it needed to be answered for the entire site and all the clubs inside.
Thanks for making the comment. It will clear it up for many thousands in the future years.

This just recently showed up here in Portland, Oregon area. It took a couple years.

Handle is a mobile manipulation robot designed for logistics. Handle autonomously performs mixed SKU pallet building and depalletizing after initialization and localizing against the pallets. The on-board vision system on Handle tracks the marked pallets for navigation and finds individual boxes for grasping and placing. When Handle places a boxes onto a pallet, it uses force control to nestle each box up against its neighbors. The boxes used in the video weigh about 5 Kg (11 lbs), but the robot is designed to handle boxes up to (15 Kg) (33 lb). This version of Handle works with pallets that are 1.2 m deep and 1.7 m tall (48 inches deep and 68 inches tall).

Washington State has a tax problem. Underfunding of critical public services gets in the way of our ability to do our jobs safely and effectively.
Our upside-down tax code also means low income taxpayers pay six times as much of their income as do the wealthiest.
Write your legislators today and tell them to vote for the capital gains tax.
A loophole in our tax code allows the wealthy to avoid paying taxes on capital gains, the profit received from the sale of a financial asset. Closing this loophole could yield as much as $1 billion to help fund vital public services like the ones you provide.
The resulting new revenue could generate funding for:
- Education
- Health care
- State services

I once went to the top of that building.
This is the way NYC must have looked back when The Honeymooners was being filmed..
