People on CS are uniquely narcissist????
Wrong or right?
Many, having inherent slave mentality, may question me that I should better ask or raise the issue in forums etc.
First and Foremost, it relates to blogs and the bloggers. I can't agree to your( or if it's site owners') idiocy that all questions must be raised in the forums.
I think issue must be jurisdiction based.
I don't nagate that platform, i.e. forums, but I don't belong to them. Not that I didn't try, but I find people there behaving timidly.
One liners' scholars is a stupidity though, but why should I question it, if I do, then I must be a stupid.
Should I repeat wrong or right?

Toyota and Honda see major problems if America only sells EV's after 2035
Japan's Toyota -- is currently the world's largest automaker. Toyota and Volkswagen vie for that title each year -- each taking the crown from the other -- as the market moves.GM -- America's largest automaker -- is about half Toyota's size --thanks to its 2009 bankruptcy and restructuring.
Actually -- Toyota is a major car manufacturer in the U.S. In 2016 about 81% of the cars it sold in the U.S. came off American assembly lines.
Toyota was among the first to introduce gas/electric hybrid cars with the Prius twenty years ago. The company hasn't been afraid to change the car game.
All of this is to point out that Toyota understands both the car market and the infrastructure that supports the car market. Probably understands better than any other manufacturer on the planet.
Toyota hasn't grown through acquisitions as Volkswagen has, and it hasn't undergone bankruptcy and bailout as GM has. Toyota has grown by building reliable cars and trucks for decades.
When Toyota offers an opinion on the car market it's probably worth listening to.
This week Toyota reiterated -- The world is not yet ready to support a fully electric auto fleet.
Toyota's Robert Wimmer (head of energy & environmental research) said this week in testimony before the U.S. Senate, "If we are to make dramatic progress in electrification it will require overcoming tremendous challenges - challenges including : refuelling infrastructure/battery availability /consumer acceptance / and affordability.
Wimmer’s remarks come on the heels of GM's announcement that it will phase out all gas internal combustion engines (ICE) by 2035.
Tellingly, both Toyota and Honda have so far declined to make any such promises. Honda is the world's largest engine manufacturer (when you include : boats / motorcycles / lawnmowers / etc) Honda competes with Briggs & Stratton in those markets amid increased electrification of [traditionally gas powered] lawnmowers / weed trimmers /etc.
While manufacturers have announced ambitious goals just 2% of the world's cars are electric at this point.
Buyers continue to choose ICE over electric because of: price /range / infrastructure /affordability / etc. Only a small percentage of people would choose an electric car unless forced to buy.
There are 289.5 million cars just on U.S. roads as of 2021. About 98 percent of them are gas-powered.
Toyota's RAV4 took the top spot for purchases in the 2019 U.S market -- Honda's CR-V is second and GM's top seller (Equinox) comes in at #4 behind the Nissan Rogue. GM only has one entry in the U.S.top 15. Toyota and Honda dominate - each with a handful in the top 15.
Toyota warns: the US electrical grid and infrastructure simply aren't there to support the electrification of the private car fleet.
A 2017 U.S. government study found we would need about 8,500 strategically-placed charging stations to support a fleet of just 7 million electric cars. That's about six times the current number of electric cars.
But no one should be talking about supporting just 7 million cars. We should be talking about powering about 300 million within the next 20 years if all manufacturers follow GM and stop making ICE cars.
We are going to need a bigger energy boat to deal with connecting all those cars to the power grids - a WHOLE LOT bigger boat But instead of building a bigger boat we may be shrinking our boat. Power outages in California and Texas have exposed issues with power supplies even at current usage levels.
Increasing usage of wind and solar, -- both of which prove unreliable -- has driven some coal and natural gas generators offline.

Who belongs to whom?
N.B. A fellow blogger prompted to create this blog.
I commented there...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good blog and so I liked it.
There has been an absurd tendency to equate the love that exist in the relations with the love that exists between the opposite genders.
The former is given, while the later is a development.
The two, in no way, comparable. They are two different entities. And that is the biggest sin bestowed upon the mankind by THE RELIGION.
So I talk about the seed that is to be sowed long long after the birth when relationship thing has completed its cycle.
In my view its twofold:
Basic: the blueprint of the image stored in one's subconscious.
Contextual: the image that appeals someone consciously.
I can't say if the two images are different. May be or may not be.
My take is, the blueprint of the subconscious haunts us and we contexually choose whoever comes in front similar with the embedded image.

CS dating
i've read concerns about the purpose of CS. i've read concerns about CS's potential folding because of blog topics.
i'd like to ask what are you doing about it? are you actively looking for love or are you passively waiting for it to be delivered to your front door. are you even looking or are you expecting to be found? do you look at your who's viewed and make premature judgement or do you respond in kind?
you will not move to the next level if you sit back in your chair and watch, unless you're into that. if you really want a date, you have to get off your a** and take some risks. complaining about blogs, when blogging is just that, is an excuse to not take the plunge and contact someone directly.
that's my piece. over and out

Hugging the left lane...
I see Florida lawmakers are proposing a bill that prohibits continuous driving in the left lane. We already have slower traffic to be in the right lane, that would force most of the driving to be in the center lane. Trucks occupy that lane, so it doesn't sound like a good law as it restricts us to one lane creating congestion with blocked view maneuvering around trucks and slower traffic.
C'mon Florida lawmakers, take a ride on the Turnpike and you will see what I'm talking about.

Kostenlose Klingeltöne für Smartphones
In dieser modernen Welt, in der das Leben so hektisch ist, haben die Menschen kaum Zeit, mit ihrem Handy ein personalisiertes Leben zu führen, daher sind Klingeltöne zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil des Lebens eines Menschen geworden. Heutzutage ist es im Trend und gefragt, verschiedene Klingeltöne für verschiedene Zwecke wie Benachrichtigungen, Töne für Nachrichten und vieles mehr zu haben. Da ein Mobiltelefon einen großen Teil unseres Lebens ausmacht, ist es sehr wichtig, einen qualitativ hochwertigen Klingelton zu haben, der Ihrem Telefon eine persönliche Note verleiht. Dies ist mit den neuen kostenlosen Klingelton-Downloads für Mobiltelefone möglich beim
Es gibt Hunderte von Kategorien von Klingeltönen wie Musik, Comedy-Klingeltöne, Sport-Klingeltöne, Metall-Klingeltöne, lustige Klingeltöne und vieles mehr. Die mittlerweile beliebten Klingeltöne werden sehr sorgfältig mit verschiedenen, einzigartigen und hochwertigen Soundeffekten ausgewählt. Sie können ganz einfach kostenlos Klingeltöne für Ihr Mobiltelefon herunterladen und sie ganz einfach ohne Internet anhören.
Wie wir alle wissen, gibt es Mobiltelefone in zwei Formaten, nämlich der CDMA- und der GSM-Technologie. CDMA-Telefone verwenden dasselbe Codeformat, das in den Funkgeräten der Telefone gespeichert ist. Daher kann die Kompatibilität des Klingeltons mit dem spezifischen Telefontyp garantiert werden. Mit der GSM-Technologie können jedoch die kompatiblen Klingeltöne mit dem jeweiligen GSM-Netz vor dem Download-Vorgang überprüft werden.
Da jeden Tag neue Klingeltöne eingeführt werden, wächst die Datenbank der Klingeltöne für die meisten Smartphones ständig. Die meisten dieser Downloads sind kostenlos, aber manchmal müssen Sie bezahlen, um die neuesten Sounds auf die Smartphones herunterzuladen. Der Benutzer hat die Möglichkeit, aus den verschiedenen Arten von Klingeltönen zu wählen, die für sein Smartphone verfügbar sind. Auf diese Weise können Benutzer problemlos auf die neuesten Klingeltöne für ihre Smartphones zugreifen. Neben dem Herunterladen von Klingeltönen für die Smartphones werden auch häufig neue Versionen der Apps veröffentlicht, die die Benutzer des Smartphones zum Gaga bringen.
Neue Klingeltöne können auch von den Besitzern an das Smartphone gesendet werden, indem die Funktionscodes in den Telefonspeicher geschrieben werden. Das Versenden der Klingeltöne per SMS ist jedoch eine sehr alte Methode, da die neueste Technologie diese Aufgabe erleichtert. Durch Senden von SMS oder MMS an das Mobilteil können Sie automatisch visuelle und akustische Benachrichtigungstöne erstellen. Auf diese Weise müssen Sie nicht in regelmäßigen Abständen neue Klingeltöne erstellen.
Es gibt jedoch einen großen Nachteil des kostenlosen Klingelton-Downloads für die Smartphones. Die von den Entwicklern der Klingelton-App verwendete Software ist oft nicht mit der Apple iTunes-Version kompatibel. Wenn Sie Klingeltöne für Ihr Smartphone herunterladen möchten, müssen Sie daher eine andere Klingelton-App auswählen. Wenn Sie jedoch nach einem kostenlosen Klingelton-Download suchen, gibt es einige gute Klingelton-Download-Sites, die eine große Sammlung kostenloser Klingeltöne für die mobilen Apple iTunes-Geräte wie iPhone und iPod Touch anbieten.

Marmalade
I am your Marmalade
A little sweet and a little tart
I am your little tart
Marmalade
I slip under your covers
While you sleep
Nuzzle close
Will you dream of me?
On sleepless nights
I will bring you dreams
In my mouth, I will bring them
Would you wake and take them?
I am your Marmalade
A little sweet and a little tart
I am your little tart
Marmalade
Heels
On the heels of jeopardy
Let it not bite
As little dogs whine at turned toes
Upon cigarettes, lit
And sorry cries from jowls on high
Bring tears from bowel afire
Sweet love’s desire
Fan the fires
Of makeshift forts filled with love’s
Desire
On empty fields, spread wild flowers
Take one breath, traded by the hour
To fill empty rows with blossoms, bloom
Take my heart and join with your
Tomb
Beach comber
Come with me to the beach
Comb sands and comb me
I am your sandy shore
With shells
Shall you see me?
On windy shores
My hair sweeps toward fingers
Ready to part my waves
Pull me to you
My blonde locks ready to
Unlock dreams from distant
Ocean's
Waves, of blonde
Spend hours combing my hair
You'd make me drift
Heavy lids draw you within
As your fingers pull my heart strings
Comb my hair on a sandy beach
Engineer Mountain
Iron shoes tap into the
Trailhead
At the base of Engineer Mountain
I looked up, daunted
My mare, confident
Together we crossed meadows
Through raining Aspen leaves
Taking rest by a trout's creek
My girl's mouth worked the bit
While I leaned towards a granite face
Prepared to launch vertical
Towards heaven, my heart, still far below
We climbed
It felt as if I rode the ocean's waves
My body tossed higher and higher
With every lunge
I dared not look down
As my horse did have wings
We touched hanging clouds that once
Moved steadily above me
Together, a beast carried me with
Courage
Beyond the tree line
Into the sky
On Engineer Mountain my mare did fly
Mind
My eyes fixate on hazel gems
That crown a smile, broad and tender
With words that warrant a
Return to sender
Consideration for an invitation to my
Chamber
Welcome to my eccentric dwelling
To my taste would you be willing?
Have a seat and use those eyes
And view my collage of images and words
Nothing bland in this world of mine
Once you have visited my mind
Part
I took him inside of me
Willingly
And now he will always be a part of me
Nothing grew except an experience
Willingly
And now that will always be a part of me
I don't know if I wish for
Amnesia or old memories
For the part that will always be a part of me
moon
he is like a succulent fruit
irrigating furrows of dusty plains
that once gushed greenery thick and rich
my eyes tear up at the memories of
ravenous meals made of moans and squeals
sweet meats of yore
filling more than bellies
i cried out for the stars
mapping big dippers and f*ck whippers
the lot not enough
as if my void was limitless
like the sky
and if i could be his constellation
i would capture his Milkyway with spoons
cast by greedy hands
and bathe my flesh with warm white happiness
spilled from his generous fountain
illuminated by the moon's smile upon ripe
pore's open mouths
hungering for a sip of heaven
blanket
let me be your blanket
i will cover you and keep you warm
i will wrap myself around you
become your layer of skin
and i will feel your heart's loving song
sing to me
let us share our bodies
and turn lonely shivers into
warm embraces while gazing at
long lost faces
listening to beloved voices
speaking words of love
in your bed
i will be your blanket
