    I'll be a killjoy. They explode the way old steam engines exploded. No warning. Explosion. You're incenerated.

    The general public seems to be in the dark about the fact EV's explode like bombs.

    It's not a bad production run. It's not one issue or another. It's the nature of the beast.

    The media can take its shilling and shove it up its ass.

    @shirokuro You never wind a mechanical watch backwards, either. I don't even do that with my quartz Casio analog.

    The Persistence of Memory (often mistaken as "The Persistence of Time") is held at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
    If you are thinking of a similarly named masterpiece by Salvador Dalí, here is where his most famous time-related works are located:
    • The Persistence of Memory (1931) – Featuring the iconic melting clocks, this painting is housed at MoMA in New York City.
    • The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1952–1954) – Dalí's later reinterpretation of the original work is held at The Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
    If you meant a different piece of art or a specific collection, let me know! Are you planning a visit to see it, or looking for historical details about the painting?

    This one is at the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg. I've seen it. I'd like to see it again.

    two, just my car and the microwave.

    Don’t like to brag, but I’ve already fixed the clock in the car…

    The clock in the car can go on its merry way. I can't bring myself to care.

    I haven't changed my stove. I need to do that.

    Fourteen, but a few will not be started up so probably around 12.

    I like to listen to a fine mechanical watch by putting it to my ear.

    I might be able to tolerate a flip clock but I doubt it.

    That's why I had to hide my digital watch.

    I can't make it stop beeping on the hour.

    I can't stand hearing it.

    @kluurs @bernard I see bigotry here. I'm glad the state Democratic Party has kicked her out. I don't want to be associated with people who think and act like her.

    @mik I agree with much of what you say, in substance, but I think a medical diagnosis should be given when it's clearly applicable. Children and adults can't get the healthcare they need, nor have access to the educational and social resources they need, without a diagnosis. It's just the way our society is...

    Having said that, our society's insistentance on "normalcy" sucks.

    Yep.

    … and go stay somewhere else.

    That was always my plan. The problem is when there’s a huge power outage everyone else has that plan and the nearby hotels fill up.

    Once I spent a week hopping between hotels every night or two for a week. You’d believe the reports that power will be restored tomorrow, then when it isn’t, and you call to extend, they say no because the room has been rented out. So I find another hotel. Then the same thing happens again.

    The next month I bought the generator.

    We have the same problem with hurricanes. By the time you need to rent a room there are none- zero. It's a fictional option. The y say conditions in shelters (I've been told) during hurricanes aren't ideal. In the case of my acquaintance his experience included backed up toilets and no toilet paper. The authorities come through with cars with sirens and bullhorns telling us to leave. I spent Helene at a friend's house in Pasco. I stayed home for Milton. Milton was the one they thought might hit Tampa directly. It wiped out much of Ft. Meyers instead

    Btw, Our power is underground. The power in HI isn't underground for residential. Drilling tunnels through volcanic rock- not happening.

    The privatized utility charges a fortune (I mean an astronomical amount) but never keeps the lines properly maintained vis a vis trees and underbrush. Better to give the money to the shareholders. Bog stand routine there. So in a storm, the poles fall over, the broken lines start fires, and towns burn to the ground.

    Oh, and if there's a hurricane in HI, there's really nowhere to go. You're ****ed.

  • What a beautiful villa

    @andyd I'll take #1. Stunning views and very private. I like #2 a lot. I would usually choose a house with land, but I'll take the villa. Love the view. Also that the property is enclosed the way it is- I think it would be like a castle. No need to tell strangers to get off your lawn. Interesting two choices.

    @bernard Really? I've never paid any attention to him. I know next to nothing about fashion designers. I love the setting. It is a little severe. I admit.

    @shirokuro I watch videos about houses, gardens, and architecture pretty much daily. I'd have to ignore my phone all day if I wanted to avoid the temptation.

    I'm not interested in that but what a beautiful villa and spectacular location.

    I get our monthly newsletter, read the "Manager 's Corner" section to find out what's important, and then throw it away.

    But I do know that there's Halloween costume contest happening at the clubhouse.

    Second childhood? Lol.
