Peter White is a rather eccentric character who maintains an online shop with bicycle components. I have ordered parts from him in the past. His website looks pretty ordinary except for the oddity there is no way to order online; You must call to order. However, click on the "Products" tab, then scroll down to "WMDs". ;-) Peter White Cycles

I got rid of my landline in January 2013. And the only reason I kept it that long was because having 2 phones was useful for WFH for the job I quit in Dec 2012.

Now why didn't they choose to limit them to 88mph? ;-)

As one pundit I follow has said: "Polls give you an accurate reading of the political leanings of the portion of the demographic who still picks up the phone for unknown callers." I haven't picked up for unknown callers for well over a decade.

We're talking about unchecked aggregation here, Dude!

The guy who has the Youtube channel "Technology Connections" has a Hyundai EV that he is pretty happy with, but was not happy when he discovered it never turns on the brake lights even during the hardest regen braking. For that reason he stopped using the hardest setting. I recently read that Hyundai has now implemented brake light activation in their regen braking.

I wonder if the Cleveland Fox News affiliate got approval from Fox corporate before they ran this story: Data: All 5 Great Lakes at record lows for ice cover

Pence? HELL, YES!!! I would have been delighted to see the Orange Moron croak, and Pence take over.

Here is one:

One of the last remaining Republicans who can still think for themselves, Ken Buck got fed up with the pandering to the Orange Moron, and had announced he was leaving at the end of the year. Well, now he has announced it will be next week. Rep. Ken Buck to leave office early Federal law requires a vacancy election to fill Buck’s seat, but the timing is a bit tight. Colorado law says a congressional vacancy election can not occur within 90 days of a general election, which means the vote could occur no later than early August. It will be up to Gov. Jared Polis to set the date for a vacancy election. This is the seat that Bobo has been planning to run for in this fall's elections. ETA: Ken Buck Leaving House Next Week It also appears, since Lauren Boebert is switching districts, that she would have to resign her current House seat in order to be eligible for the Special election. It is also too late to qualify for the ballot in her current district. So, Boebert appears to be in a bit of a bind where she likely will have to resign her current seat in CO-3 to run in the Special Election unless she wants to run against the winner of the Special Election in November, which is not ideal. Bwahaha! It looks like he is giving a parting gift to Bobo. It's no secret he has a very low opinon of her.

And has not gotten into a debate with a sit-com actress.

Hope you are sitting down for this; Katie Britt may have been less than truthful about her sex-trafficking story: Rolling Stone: Sex Trafficking Survivor Calls Out Katie Britt for Misrepresenting Her Story Shortly after the speech aired, independent journalist Jonathan M. Katz identified the woman in Britt’s story as Karla Jacinto, who was trafficked in Mexico, not the U.S., between 2004 and 2008 — more than a decade before Biden assumed the presidency.

Not about the SOTU its self, but about Katie Britt's rebuttal. Specifically the voice she used: The Fundie Baby Voice

Article about the source of the bond: What Idiot Backed Trump’s Bond in E. Jean Carroll Trial? This One. It turns out that Trump may have called in a major favor: Court records filed Friday show that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

Won't hold my breathe for this to succeed, but it is entertaining: Exclusive: Republican Hits Clarence Thomas With Lawsuit Over His Taxes ...he is filing suit against Thomas in a Virginia court under the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act (VFATA).

He did invent the Oscillation Overthruster, so all those wins were easy by comparison!

He's baaaaaaack: Former New York Rep. George Santos announces plans to run for Congress again Perhaps the strategy is to follow Trump's example of whining about "election interference" because he is being prosecuted while campaigning.

He was hit with new indictments earlier this week. Embattled Sen. Bob Menendez Won’t Run for Re-Election: Report

Now the loser is losing in UK courts! BBC: Donald Trump told to pay six-figure costs of firm he sued This was about the Steele dossier.

I don't remember which political pundit said it about a week ago, but they had this zinger: "Nikki Haley really needs to stay in the race. Just like Charlie Sheen's understudy in a Broadway play, you know they are going to be needed!"

Youtuber "Itchy Boots" hired a boat to take her (and her motorcycle) around the Darien Gap, when she rode Ushuaia to Prudoe Bay a couple years ago. Of course, being an attractive 30-something Dutch blonde, that was probably a prudent decision.

Well, I just learned about the 1948 Newfoundland referendums. I had no idea it joined Canada that recently.
