I am surprised nobody has mentioned the real joy of checkout at Whole Foods, which is that there is no annoying, incessant voice asking every self-checkout shopper, "Have you scanned your rewards card yet?" and "Please complete the transaction on the pin pad." It must be sheer torture working all day with those going off constantly.

So, when my mom passed, our family had to deal with DB. I have never, ever hand such a bad experience with a bank. The bank overseas was so courteous and efficient that I asked if I could open a bank account with them but I couldn't since I don't live in the country, just a frequent visitor. The IRS and government were easy. The will was as easy as it gets. Do things by the book, you'll be fine.

The NY DB office, to which I would have to go frequently and sit in some luxurious waiting room with nice art, was insane. My lawyer and accountant could not understand how they could repeatedly ask for the same information, deny they had received it, ask for information that literally the US government does not give out to anyone and on and on and on. And no there was nothing shady or shifty about my parents' lives. My lawyer started sending meaner and meaner letters to them, the kind that talk about making my client whole and litigation.

And yet, a few years later it turned out that same bank was often in the news for, among other things catering to Jeffrey Epstein. Who knows, maybe he spent his last hours complaining about them too. I could only hope he had that experience to add to his all-too-brief punishment. Actually, I have often wondered if we got raked over the coals because they had genuinely fishy clients and thus all the clients, especially the ones overseas, were on some kind of government watch list.

I am lucky that I don't depend on this for work at a corporation. I'd be pulling my hair out if some boss said "You are going to be doing 8 times as much work using our corporate AI from now on."

Likely I am totally not understanding what this search engine is for. I see this a lot on submissions here. I find something interesting sounding but I don’t understand the context. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s confusing.

I had early cataract surgery at a “mill” here in NJ. There are similar centers all over. In talking both with my eye doctor and my cousin who is an eye surgeon in on the other side of the country, I was told it was better to go with a doctor who specialized in this surgery at a dedicated center (common called a mill). The rate of complications is less because they have really dialed in the procedure and have seen everything. The first day I saw him, I was literally the last patient. He said he had operated on 80 eyeballs that day. I think it was a long day, with more than eight hours but he does a few of those days a week at different centers. He has a large crew of support staff and multiple rooms to achieve this throughput. He did a good job. It was not inexpensive. He was driving a nice Porsche. He didn’t have time for a pleasant bedside chat.

I still don’t know why I had to get the surgery at 50. I haven’t had any other weird health issues like that. The one odd thing is that my grandfather was the first person to do cataract surgery in Lithuania, back in the 1920s. I always wonder if there was a link.
