    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.

    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.

    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.
