I only wear white socks all the same. This way I never have to worry about pairing them and when one is lost you just wait until another is lost and you're even again!

Hence the black?

I too have mostly pairs of black socks. At some point in my life, high school, perhaps, people "like me" didn't wear white socks. I have no recollection, however whether "not like me" was a education, class or economic distinction or merely a clique I was not part of.

White socks are my favorite. But for work here in Vegas for years I had to wear black socks. So since I buy in bulk, all my socks were the same. Now that I'm retired and my last bulk purchase is starting to dwindle (no mismatched socks ever or stray ones) I think I'll replace with white again. Socks go in the washer/dryer and thrown in a drawer. You pull out two when you need them. There's no such thing as "pairs". :p

I wear white socks around the house, with sneakers, with shorts, etc. But if I'm dressed up at all, I have a bunch of socks of different colors and designs to spruce things up a bit...

But what color socks does a sock puppet wear?

Yes. Though there are some folks who all but do DNA testing to make sure it's a valid match. (Can't believe we are talking about socks).
White socks get grayish so great care must be taken not to match a grayish white sock with a newer bright white sock because, well, it just isn't done! 😁

After a run in with bureaucracy via a Govt website, I pondered what if AI will destroy us, and yep, I was right, we're toast.


Artificial Intelligence Will 'Likely' Destroy Humans ...

https://greekreporter.com › 2022/09/16 › artificial-intell...





Sep 16, 2022 — Artificial Intelligence can eliminate humanity according to a recent research paper by scientists at Google and the University of Oxford.


Here is an early glimpse of what Stephen Hawking warned us about ;]

Hal the computer to Dave: "This conversation can serve no purpose anymore . . . goodbye." Perfectly describes the response I received from a person last month on a phone call to a contractor for the State of North Carolina health care system.:mad:

Talk about socks starts resembling HiFi-folks talking about the colour of LEGO bricks under their speaker cables - and that is just the beginning of that lunacy 😂
