    @Doctor-Phibes said in EVs not doing so well in Blighty: I don't understand why hybrids aren't the obvious choice for a more gradual implementation. It feels like all the political types have got sucked into this EV stuff because they don't know any better. Toyota Prius. $30k 57mpg. Dependable. Battery replacement can be done by anybody with a hair of mechanical knowledge and for less than $1500. Batteries last 8-10 years.

    Time to resurrect the old joke: Q: What's the difference between an Irish wake and an Irish wedding? A: One less drunk.

    Along with a whole raft of DOJ attorneys I hope. I don't think all J6 charges or convictions are unjust, but a lot of them are overcharged and politically motivated.

    For completeness, not only it needs to include more cup sizes, but also manboobs and transboobs.

    Saw that earlier.... My visit to Mount Vernon, back in 2015, was one of the highlights of my trips with D4. She was astounded by my access to trivia, etc. I bought some of the whiskey that was available in the gift shop. It wasn't very good, I might add. But, there were some interesting trees... [image: 1713836388050-img_4209.jpg] D4, eventually got bored. I could have spent hours there.

    The tube (which is poorly taped) in the patient's mouth is just a piece of corrugated ventilator tubing. It is NOT an endotracheal tube, which one needs for a ventilator. This is an endotracheal tube. Probably taped OK for the OR, but not for long-term care. [image: 1713835514044-image-resized.jpeg] This is better. [image: 1713835590533-image.jpeg]

    I think that giving up a career is a lot harder for athletes maybe than other professions.

    @George-K said in I'd like to see more...: I tried, I really tried, to read the article and watch the attached video. Didn't understand a goddamned piece of it. Can someone who understands engineering and all that stuff explain it to me, and tell me how it's just not a lot of shite? You never studied? Link to video

    @Jolly said in Third time's the charm...: A reflection on Biden's economy? I dont think so. I dont think it is a reflection of "Bidens economy" as much a reflection on backlash on corporations.
