You really have to put quite a bit of blame on the consumer for reliability. I suspect too many consumers don't factor longevity over lower price, or easy to use, or got all the gimmicks I like, or Tom, Dick or Harry likes theirs.

If you can't find enough people who will spend money on your high-quality product, doesn't matter how high quality it is.

Yeah, but most people wash clothes and don't eat bagged food delivered by senior citizen aides.


But the Depends do tend to clog up the washer and even with that it is still running.

We heard that the thug who murdered George Floyd was stabbed in prison the other day.

Turns out he was stabbed 22 TIMES.

Damn.

Amateur hour. A true killer would've known how to do the job right.

Violence begets violence. Chauvin chose violence and unfortunately for all, he begot violence.

Still more effecient than the most effecient IC engine an a motor vehicle.



Efficient being the keyword.



I think the way to go is hydrogen as long as the sun is used to crack water molecules.

So have factories where all they do is crack water using the sun.


Electricity is an unnecessary stage unless it is harnessed directly out of the atmosphere, then used.

Apple has released iOS and iPadOS 17.1.2, macOS Sonoma 14.1.2, and Safari 17.1 for macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura to patch two extremely critical WebKit flaws affecting Safari on the Mac and every browser on the iPhone and iPad.


Apple reports that the zero-day (meaning it was previously unknown to users and security researchers) “may have been exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.7.1,” which only arrived in November to fix a separate zero-day flaw. It’s unclear whether any instances of the vulnerability being exploited on the Mac have been recorded. It’s the 20th zero-day patch issued by Apple in 2023.

I forgot where I was mentioning speed traps.


They made over 1 million in traffic fines over the year. Only 226 people in the town.

What do you think the average traffic fine for speeding? It’s takes a hell of lot to get over a million in fines.

I used to think Fetterman was unfit to be a Senator. Now he’s BY FAR my favorite politician. He said of Menendez…. ‘He’s less popular than a cold sore’. Said his offenses are worse than Santos’s. The Republicans (finally) did their job in getting rid of Santos. It’s now the Democrats’ turn….
