    Probably not, but I don't keep my phone in my pocket. I make sure it's in a pouch inside of a bag with zipper closed every minute I'm somewhere and not using it. A lot of people here keep their phone in a back pocket. I can't imagine how they feel comfortable doing that but whatever.

    It will be interesting to see how the Oxford Street initiative works out. Any number of cities, including Chicago, have tried various flavors of shutting down a major thoroughfare to vehicle traffic. They've met with varying degrees of success. https://chi.streetsblog.org/2013/03/11/why-was-the-state-street-pedestrian-mall-a-failure

    Ironically, the insurance companies haven’t figured out how to give you a safety discount for having such a high tech marvel that is auto breaking.

    @ShiroKuro Pull up the covers, SK. Sleep. It’s the best watch to get past this. It will all be over before you know it!

    I'm getting lost in time and space reading that website. LOL! I need to get some work done here! I might just have to get a copy of his book.

    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.

    @Axtremus said: (If you like what happened, you should pay me to travel again in 2028. ) Great photos! I won’t embarrass myself by trying to guess, although some of them I have an idea.

    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.

    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.
