@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.

They know how to cook in that part of the world. Ask me how I know. The New Deal FTW.

What bloviating circus clown minions!

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!

It’s clearly the work of those same aliens responsible for crop circles.

I just did a Google's AI search about relations between country x and country y. I thought I was reading Cold War propaganda. It was wild.

Oh, it just occurred to me that maximum annual contribution and market volatility are not related to each other. Duh. I had to leave the USAA page alone and do something else. It's almost sunset. It's finally cooled off again. I might return to it tonight. I might wait until tomorrow.

@Mark Place "WOW" emoji here.

My grandfather kept one for upkeep on the farm ditches. He called them by an older name, "motor patrol". He would stand and watch it work. He would stop it and tell the driver what he wanted more frequently than was necessary I am sure. The water drainage district did more of that work in later years. No doubt my grandfather told them how to do it.
