Say What?!
hang on a sec, gotta charge the batteries on my bluetooth, alexa/siri connected hearing aids....

Damn,

Maybe instead of spending $10k on the cnc lathe I just bought i should of bought hearing aids.

Hmmm......I guess I noone can hear with the lathe and mill running anyway so who needs hearing aids

Not really a joke, but I laughed out loud when I clicked on the article. (I'm looking for 'feel good' news...)
That is one big bear! Appears to be somewhat non-aggressive:

A woman in Virginia was delighted when a large black bear decided to take a nap in a kiddie pool she had in her backyard.

I don't know about the games but you can play music on one.

Midi → G-Code Converter

This converter can convert music files into G-code for CNC milling machines and 3D printers.

Here is a sample. Note that it involves G1 moves so check your limits of travel. Use at your own risk.

I knew there was a reason I just bought a CNC lathe

What, no bar puller?

Nope, but it has a bar feeder.

I could put a lot on pencils in it. Even has a parts catcher for lights out operation and a chip conveyor to catch the sawdust

It should be here on Thursday. Got the wiring run for it, just have to unload and put it in place, level it up and to try remember how to run a cnc lathe. Been 15 years since Ive ran them.

My first project is a 7 start thread.

Dang,

I didn't realize I already had a pencil sharpener.

Could have used the Fadal. Guess I bought the lathe for nothing.
