The summary sheet seems too high-level

"We reorganized the Terms of Service to better highlight the additional terms and policies that apply to users."
First thought: wait, *which* additional terms and policies?
Second: These are not intended for normal people.

Given how the next four years will be, I kind of wish I were a bot and not experience the constant trepidation and angst.

‪This was ~5m into the pandemic in the US, such a weird time, evidenced by being outside and wearing a mask because I didn't know WTF to believe.

If you press and hold all five buttons at the time, it means "Overstimulated, Get Me TFO"

The gist is you asked at the front desk, who would summon the building superintendent to take you to a secret floor for the cache, then on top of the roof for a view of the city. It was spectacular.
He retired in 2016, but was offering occasional tours/events.

Photos from the 2024 White House tour. Tours are free, but must be booked in advance through your congressperson. (www.whitehouse.gov/visit/) We also had a Capitol tour offered by an intern.

When we got to DC, one of the locals affiliated with AC gave us a nighttime tour - the best time to visit the National Mall (IMO). This was 2016, when I could still get relatively close to the White House. 2024, lots of fencing and obstructions around it, sadly. GCEB2

Have you seen the movie "Fly" on Hulu (released this year)? It covers a group of folks who do this sort of thing regularly. Some harrowing footage, but also a dose of reality.

Also also: there is another really cool yard of art in Northwestern PA, GCJ8M8, "Auto Art." It was my 100th geocache, and I had the opportunity to revisit the area when my daughter and I were touring colleges.

The T-Rex shares the area with a shark, eagle and alligator.
The Palouse is a very interesting and pretty area to bike through.

You saw SNL's skit last week, right?
