Aside from ‘printing’ organs, there are significant advances underway in Xenotransplantation (with gene editing to remove immunosuppressives from the treatment) and bioartificial (again, not requiring immunosuppressives) organs.

Certainly, they need to improve AD for unusual situations…perhaps just driving much more slowly until it can ascertain the impact of the change. However, computers are not distracted, careless, bored, or physically (eyes, limbs, feet, etc.) limited.

This all depends on who your visitors are: age range, likes/dislikes, etc. East Aurora is nice to visit but probably not an exciting place to stay (except for Borderland Fest in Sept). When we are entertaining visitors from out of the area (btw, we live in VA but are STH) we get a bnb or hotel in Allentown or Elmwood Village area. Others have mentioned both these places. Lots of convenient architecture, good food, shopping for those that enjoy that and generally an active night life. Usually take those that have never been to Buffalo for a beer or two at Nietzsche’s before the bands start. It takes a couple of beers just to look around that iconic place. Other interesting places like that around those locales. My wife and I are OGs but have not retired or mellowed out yet.

RIP - enjoyed his work with The Band and his solo music.

Outstanding…you found your wallet!

I fly coast to coast fairly often. Would you let me know which airline you use to accomplish this within 3 hrs? Would you clarify your following statement: “And it is harder to go West to East.” Harder because it takes more time (it does not as jet stream makes travel time shorter)…harder because not as many flights (not true as there are as many E-W routes as W-E flights in the US)?

Since you brought this up, just picked up tix to see Weir & Wolf Bros in Sept on their Fall tour.

I shouldn’t have clicked that link…now, I’m going to have nightmares.

Perhaps I am lucky. Our two boys in their mid-20s got married last year. None of those issues. I picked the place and they chose the attendees. Complete agreement with their brides on everything.

I somewhat agree with this but, as a child, how far back are your memories for vacations? Children younger than 5-6 will probably have lille or no memory of the vacation. We took our two boys for a beach vacation in France when they were 8-9. We have to remind them or show pics of events that occurred as they have little memory of these.

Pegula (#4) v Bucsa (#78) 1:15 pm ET on ESPN.

The Tour started July 1 and an American will still hold the top mountain climber at least through day 5. Some controversy with people throwing thumbtacks on the roads. On Peacock, USA, and NBC. Some beautiful scenery even if you do not like cycling.

The 2nd link title in the OP states: “Virginia to become latest state to require age verification for online porn” Perhaps it also applies to magazines but are any still published?

For porn. Shouldn’t the title be cleaned up? …made myself laugh.

Just using this reply as an example but there are many more stating something similar and I disagree with this approach. I posted prior but will post again. I have flown out of BUF on a 7:30 pm flight after a 1 pm game literally about a hundred times over the years and never left early to beat the rush. People can be anxious about flights but best to watch the tone of the game and make that decision. Hopefully, the Bills are well ahead and many fans will have departed before the end of the game. Relax after the game and watch the games at 4 or grab a beverage while you wait for the traffic to dissipate...or both. Even with a close game, let about 2 hrs pass and traffic will have subsided enough for a 40-45 min trip to BUF from the stadium. Leave about 6:15 for the airport and you will be there just prior to 7 and then a quick scoot thru security with TSA pre-check and you are on board shortly later. Obviously, this approach changes if the game goes to overtime. But, if you have to leave at the end of the Q4 prior to OT, you will not have to be concerned with traffic either. It’s always worked for me. I am on flights fairly often and do not stress about them. But I am a high tier member so can speak with someone right away to make other plans. Nonetheless, not many options out of BUF after 6 pm so can understand the concern. Just stating this approach has always been successful for me.

I will provide some feedback because I have often taken a 7:30 pm flight after 1 pm games and have been doing this for years…even decades. I typically park in a private lot on Sheldon Rd and leave between 6-6:15 pm. Some traffic but it usually keeps moving. Routes suggested by others here may be best but I use Waze. I get there by 6:45-7 and drop the rental car. Get him TSA pre check so he can get through the security line quickly. This has always worked for me for 1 pm games but this strategy has to change if the game goes into OT. Now I fly out Monday for Sun games as I work remotely and do not have to be somewhere Mon morning.

I have been there a few times…as recent as a couple of years ago when we had a high school reunion there. It’s a fantastic place. I moved from the area long ago so not there often. The organization that manages is much better. Long ago, they were discriminatory in accepting applications. There are notes about this if you want to google it.

Before Jerry bid adieu.

Just received the following email from Xfinity: “We recently announced that Peacock Premium would no longer be included with your Xfinity service. Today, we’re excited to share that beginning June 26, 2023, your gig-speed internet from Xfinity will include Peacock Premium at no extra cost for two years through June 25, 2025.”

Saw the Les Claypool show last night. He performed the entire Floyd Animals album during the set. Sean Lennon and Harry Waters (Roger’s son) are in his band. But what made the concert excellent was the opening band of Belew & Harrison performing Talking Heads material, primarily from Remain in Light. Turquaz was their backing band which makes an 11 member band. They are together only on some of Claypool’s gigs but highly recommend if both are part of the bill in your area. Belew is an outstanding guitarist.

I guess I am fortunate. I took the retirement package from one of the companies where I worked but now I am an independent contractor working in the same business because I really enjoy the work. I will continue to work until either I no longer enjoy it or they no longer want to pay me. I still find time to do anything I want but just don’t get paid when I do not work.

Nice to see undrafted players contributing to the Heat’s success. It would be good to see Nuggets finally capture a championship. Might be a harbinger for the Bills.

Hangin’ at the Rooster Walk music fest this weekend. https://roosterwalk.com primarily because the spouse is running her food trailer here. A relatively mellow festival. Bands include Kitchen Dwellers. St Paul & the Broken Bones, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Yarn, Marshall Tucker Band, and a relatively new band that I thought kicked butt, Wilson Springs Hotel.

Bills: Week 13 bye Week 14 Chiefs, Sun Week 15 Cowboys, Sun Week 16 Chargers, Sat Week 17 Pats, Sun No way NFL is flexing Week 15 for Bills with a game on Sat. Bills will not be flexed weeks 13, 15 & 16. That leaves possibly weeks 14 & 17. But Pats suck so only week 14 may be in play but CBS may select that game so this may not impact the Bills at all.

CBKNEWS (where you got this) is a scam just like crypto.
