She thinks she's King Charles with his artisanal products.

She thinks she's Martha Stewart.

She thinks she knows how to cook.

She thinks she's a writer?

She could write a real tell-all.

Of course, she won't.

She's a former prostitute, in Epstein files no less.

She's a D-list actress whose claim to fame is her ability to cry one tear on command.

She explained this and demonstrated this on video.

Then she actually did it the Queen's funeral.

Obscene.

To the point, she's a failure in business.

She's keeps trying because the part of her brain that is delusional has no off switch.

@bernard Congratulations!

5 months? Good work!

It took me 2 yrs. Of course in my case as I've said this included the need to dissolve my father's estate.

@realplayer

Congratulations to your daughter and her family!

Not news you get every day!

@andyd Yes the XJS 100% and a sedan too for my garage. No doubt.

That car's design btw is derivative (people tend to think this word is an insult; I don't mean it that way at all) of Auto Union design history.

I'll never own a plug in car myself.

Not for me.

Apparently they have unreal torque and speed though.

The fastest car I've driven:

Mercedes SL (R129), 8 cyl, 0- 60 mph @ 4.8 sec.

It was like a hammer. You could spend up behind any vehicle at will and that vehicle would discreetly get out of your way.

This would be the modern equivalent of putting a saddle on a slug.

I miss the '80's Jaguars. So elegant.

We won't be owning our cars. We'll basically be renting them with subscriptions. We won't have complete autonomy over the decisions we make when driving our own cars either.

Believe me now or believe me later.

@andyd Just why?

Amen.

Ok, so I downloaded the app.

The hearing is next week.

Do I have to pay for Zoom or can I use it for a trial period?

How would I use my phone?

I'm getting the generic home page. It has my initials on it iirc.

I can't find anyway to contact Zoom.

I wish the storm was making landfall here and not the panhandle.

SK, why is using the phone a disadvantage? My goal is only to be there at the start and finish.

Some members of my family in NYS use Zoom all the time.

They think nothing of it.

It's a lot of tech and tech knowledge for a layperson.

Yes, please do. It's raining here, and my phone has poor reception, but I'll try. Thanks.

What?

The '90's were the best IMHO!

I owned a few of these cars (actually literally three) and drove too many to count when I worked as a driver and courier deliverer for my uncle's upstate NY based Tri-State diving service when I was in my early '20's.

Driving was my favorite. Better than tennis. Better than gymnastics. Better than anything similar.

AI said brand matching is best. After that, you have to research.

The power strips in this house were 40 years old.

One was the deep kind that fit a certain type of plug with a long third round part as well as the usual two. It was ancient.

I got them all replaced except this last one.

I poked a whole in one of my new ones with my index finger trying to plug something in. So that had to be replaced.

All stand quality. Not UL, but the other certification, I forget the initials.

Today I said to hell with it and threw the ancient (and probably expensive to replace) in the garbage.

I view fire safety like security protocols.

I still have more things to get done.

I still haven't escaped out my bedroom closet trap door.

I'm afraid of getting it open and not being able to shut it again.

But I'll figure it out.

Experiencing the hurricane/ 1st Lahaina fire made a negative impression on me I'll remember.

Apparently, a phone charger blocks takes current from the socket and then has the job of big time reducing it so it can power your phone.

Long story short, phone charger blocks have a difficult job. It's not a 1:1 transfer or energy or even close. This causes heat. So, phone charger blocks can and often do melt down and/ or explode.

I personally knowing what I do now would not leave one plugged in at night after I went to sleep and wouldn't leave one plugged in if I left the house.

Clearly you can't extinguish flames if you're asleep or gone.

I was a little bit surprised by this but it's a fact.

In a similar way, a power strip does nothing to increase the power generated by the electrical outlet where it is plugged in.

So, if a power strip has for example 6 electrical outlets, you're still getting the available power of 1.

If there are technical specifications involved, but the bottom line is that apparently you can easily overload a power strip. If you do, it too can and they often do also melt down and/ or explode in flames.

I've stopped leaving my phone charger blocks plugged in unless I'm using them.

I'm considering turning my charging strips off when I leave the house.
