@wtg said: There are all kinds of bollards and other barriers that were installed as part of the project to make Oxford Street car-free. [image: alt text] Lord Khan’s pedestrianisation of Oxford Street “discriminates” against wheelchair users and the visually impaired, disability campaigners have said. The scheme was described as “shockingly bad” and discriminatory because it restricts access to the street. Campaigners criticised inconveniently placed benches and bollards, and ramps that were “painful” to mount. They added that shops were also more difficult to access now that there was no direct public transport. https://www.aol.com/articles/khan-oxford-street-makeover-discriminates-172332000.html This isn't a "Christmas market" thing. The plan to close off Oxford Street has been in the works for a long time. They did rush to get it in before Christmas to maximize foot traffic to businesses during the holiday shopping season. Everyone's a critic.

Imagine for a minute you were Mitch McConnell’s son or daughter. Or even a lucid Mitch of age, say, 55. In other words, imagine you cared about him and his reputation and legacy. Would you rather he end his service this way? Or retiring respectfully a decade earlier? Again, if you can imagine some empathy for him, it’s actually sad he and his advisors chose this course. Someone I know, talking about when the right time to retire is, put it this way ‘leave when you’re an elder, not when you’re elderly’. I think it’s great advice. I’m dealing with some of the latter right now in my foundation.

It's November 5th and we haven't turned on the heat yet.

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.

So sorry, SK. I hope the Zoom call goes well - and then you submerge and rest.

Same experience with autobrakes as jon-nyc. I haven't found where to turn it off in my car yet. Related and very annoying is that if I'm backing out of a space on a busy street, my steering wheel vibrates, the dashboard lights flash and an alarm rings every damn time a car passes behind me. FFS, I know there's traffic there! As far as spying, of course today's cars spy. They send speed info the insurance companies. I am led to believe that my car does not do that though, I was adamant with the salesperson.

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.
