Gemini FAIL! Seemed soo simple and yet… nothing. Back to the drawing board. Maybe it can’t be automated? ChatGPT? Manually?Shopping with Air Miles? Is it worth it?? New pair of Air Pods? Why not?Workout in, feeling heavy, but hitting the chest and getting the run in on the treadmill. Have to! I gained weight! THREE POUNDS! TOO MANY DONUTS!And the state of the market drop, is it done yet? In 2025 it dropped from around 6146 to 4825 and took from Feb 17 to April 7, or thereabouts. Current top is around 7002 last set on around Jan 28, 2026. Another 20% would take it down to 5600, or about the right shoulder of the reverse head-and-shoulders chart pattern set during the 2025 draw down. Will it happen? Who knows! It’s death by a thousand paper cuts.Donate to the show!
