    @CHAS said: The Hydrogen powered Mirai.https://www.toyota.com/mirai/ Get your own little Hindenburg. I'd love to! But anything with this level of technology will be expensive. My car didn't arrive today and might not until Monday or Tuesday (it is insured as of last night, though). It's old school-- normally aspirated internal combustion with a mechanically geared automatic. It has an electrical system of course but not "electronics" in the modern sense. It has hand crank windows if I recall. I'm excited but have always thought hydrogen had great potential.

    So I heard him talk about Gaza. He said his position is Israel shouldn't be given weapons but should be sold them if they follow the applicable laws. He said nothing about the fact Israel doesn't follow the applicable laws. He said nothing about the fact Israel alone does not allow its nuclear program to be monitored by the relevant international agency. He said nothing about the fact that AIPAC is a lobby for a foreign agent and, again, refuses to follow our law by registering it as such. IMHO, his moment on the political stage arrived and has since departed. Again, JMHO.

    Yeah, it's a scary topic. I won't regale everyone on a Saturday night with the horrible facts about it I have filed in my memory.

    I don't know the scale. The one that hit us was EF-1. Link to video "Jun 26, 2025 — The twister touched down in Largo near Ulmerton and Belcher Roads on Wednesday evening. The NWS said peak wind was 90 mph."-- local affiliate I hope everyone stays safe!

Imagine you being the clients realizing your megabuck legal fees ultimately went to feed an AI model to argue against itself.

    In seriousness, people keep saying this happened today, but he’s owned the same amount of SpaceX for a long time. It’s just that it became easier to estimate the value of his stake today. He was a trillionaire last month too.

    Out for a walk around a local Wildlife Trust area with ponds and river and there were loads of ox eye daisy, flocks and campion. And lovely water lilies [image: 1781236077354-20260607_120015-resized.jpg] Meanwhile my sisters garden is in full bloom with yellow scabious [image: 1781236426195-20260609_130953.jpg] A pure white peony [image: 1781236447723-20260609_130813-resized.jpg] And rampant fragrant rose with clematis [image: 1781236523498-20260609_130719.jpg]
