A month ago, according to rumor "news" Toyota was bringing an EV with a battery that would charge quickly and be good for over 600 miles to market. A couple of days ago, the "news" was that Toyota will produce an AREV (advance range electric vehicle), battery powered, but with a small motor running a generator to charge the batteries. General Motors early EV was electric with a small motor generator, but they were poorly made and caught fire too often from what I read. Many locomotives are electrical with diesel powered generators and have been for years.

There’s one vote for impeachment right there.

Link to video Scott Ritter disagrees. I'll choose Scott Ritter's analysis of the this war or about any war over Tucker Carlson's analyses regarding the same.

Yes, I do disagree. The ad couldn't have been "too much" when his campaign had played basically the same ad throughout his campaign. That's a cover story. Again, this particular charge of "anti-Senitism"? She should get a life. You can't legitimately violate your "principles" when you have none.

Mrs. Miller will never allow a giblet in her kitchen. Ever.

I having a passing familiarity (but little) with Kant, Russell, and Wittgenstein. I've studied Wittgenstein. I remember nothing. While I'm on the subject, I'm into Foucault (and have read many of his works), but have no use for Derrida.

I can't give away trade secrets. And yes, I was surprised to find that the forum has been sitting there since 2005. Someone is paying for that storage even though no one (well except me) can get to it!

Technology has become much too complicated as well as intrusive. All of this is much more of an energy sink than a convience. It also (electronics in appliances and devices, and cars, unfortunately) has a clear (and severe) tie in with planned obsolescence. I started using Android for the simplicity of it, the easy to understand and use software interface. Motorola has added so much bloatware to my phone since I bought it that it's not the same phone now. It also changes the user interface in numerous and random ways every matter of days (not weeks). Its battery is starting to drain progressively faster for the maker's purpose that a phone with a sealed battery (or every phone) is on a downward glide path to becoming inoperable (when otherwise it would last for many years). This is one time I won't mind it. I hate this phone with a passion.

@AdagioM said: Dates are delicious! But be careful, they can have a laxative effect. Go slowly if they’re new to you. I'm a fan, too! But I love all dried fruits....plums (formerly known as prunes), apricots, and figs. Dried fruit compotes are common in the cuisines of many countries. We Lithuanians always have "kompotas" at the Christmas Eve meal. Bunch of dried fruits, some water, honey, cinnamon stick, and lemon. Simmer for a bit so everything softens up and the flavors meld together. So delicious! But definitely can be laxative....

She’s forgetting we’re basically insolvent. There won’t be another new deal or great society in our lifetimes. But I agree that we need a big tent strategy

I’m liking it. May the bull market continue as it has after every recent midterm.

There was more going on in Ohio than just Trump. The imperial GOP thought they owned us. They've neglected public school funding which was ruled unconstitutional by SCOO almost 30 years ago, plus a few scandals. Then their unfortunate choice for governor took the whole slate down. Hubris. I voted for as many Democrats as Republicans this year, maybe more. Plus an equal number of Libertarians.
