    Just another thought. It has been a couple of years since I have been in India, but at that time, I thought it was the country with the greatest distance between the rich and the poor. The rich were super super rich and the poor were super super poor. I don't think that has changed at all.

    @LuFins-Dad said in You don't hate the media enough: WTOP News Radio in DC just ran a minute long piece about warning the media about dangerous rhetoric by Trump supporters on social media and was causing officials to warn the media to take extra safety precautions. They then did a 30 second piece about the dangers posed by alt right groups looking to retaliate. We have to recover after our long night of rioting after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Who is going to pay for rebuilding all this downtown districts?

    5 best Trains (per a vote in Travel and Leisure) Our readers loved five North American and European trains that range from multinight journeys to single-afternoon rides. Returning to our list this year are Rocky Mountaineer (at No. 3), a train with multiday routes in the Canadian and American Rockies, and British Pullman, A Belmond Train (at No. 2), which offers tours across the U.K., from sightseeing day trips to afternoon tea trains to murder mystery events. "It is all about the scenery," wrote one reader about the former. But there are three newcomers to the list, including the Napa Valley Wine Train, at No. 4, and the Royal Canadian Pacific, at No. 5. As for our readers' No. 1 train, read on to find out which European icon topped the list.

    https://www.pcmag.com/news/tesla-catches-fire-burns-to-a-crisp-at-supercharging-station A Tesla vehicle caught on fire while charging at a Pennsylvania Supercharging station this week, melting a good portion of the EV. Multiple fire stations worked to safely put out the flames and prevent any hazardous waste from spreading into the surrounding area. and The exact cause of the fire has not yet been made public. It's unclear if there were any injuries [image: 036H1u79jCO33vcYhWMEJno-2.fit_lim.size_1536x.png]

    Saw that earlier today. I got rid of all my 8" floppies a few years ago. In fact, I don't think I have any 5 ½" inch floppies either. Or my 3 ½" discs... Or my....

    https://www.tastingtable.com/1617400/dirty-steak-cooking-method-president-eisenhower/ ..this former president's preparation preference was starkly different than most. He'd impress (or sometimes worry) guests by cooking meat right atop coal embers that smoldered on the White House lawn. It's an unusual, but still practiced cooking style called dirty steak, which yields surprisingly spectacular results. While the method requires some skilled grilling to perfect, when done well, the meat turns out delicious. The blackened external char is not only edible, but tasty, and seals in a beautifully juicy interior that's often on the rarer side. With such an abundance of surface area contact, the charcoal selection is important, but it also imparts a delectable flavor.

    Might be a language thing, but I don't see anything wrong with the article Some far right commentators have long argued that Democratic elites were plotting to replace President Biden. Now those commentators say that they will be proved correct.

    Yup, both sides look for short term approval rather than the tough long term solutions.

    Yeah. Rachel did a photo shoot with her almost 20 years ago. I thought she was a fossil then.

    I read it forty years ago. Thought that it was an excellent book. Still have my copy along with the complete Hornblower series.
