Bang it around a bit...

Part of the issue with electronics 70+ years ago, everything was hand wired with discreet components and the tubes/valves were plugged into sockets.

Things heating up and cooling down often loosened solder connections, making things fail.
Corrosion was a big factor in sockets. Calling out the TV repairman to check tubes would find them actually working (I remember many appliance and 5&dime stores sold tubes and had a tester/checker) but plugging them back in often resolved the problem.

Products now have integrated circuits with chips that are soldered to the main board. Improved reliability with a low chance of failure.

I'm surprised my spell check didn't flag devises.

Making him President for Life and untouchable to any of our current laws. Sound right?

Ivanka makes it to court and has 'corporate amnesia' just like her brothers. The mother-of-three had argued that she could not leave her children in Florida during a school week.
I've seen family photos and none of the children were infants needing breast feeding.

"I wasn't involved in his statement of financial condition," Ms Trump said. "That would have been the company."

At one point state attorneys produced an email she wrote to then-Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg and others about the loan rates.
"It doesn't get better than this," she wrote.
She said she did not remember that message.

Ivanka once served as the executive vice president of the Trump Organization before she became a senior White House adviser after Trump won the 2016 election, forcing her to step away from her role in the family business.

Obviously, she wasn't qualified for either position.

Excellent job of explaining what I couldn't do... many thanks!

I noticed it happens with electro-mechanical devises.

Some of the early generation color TV's never really turned off. While most of the power went down, standby voltage traveled through the tubes/valves, so the internal filaments remained warm and startup was quick.

The state of New York is going after him, not me.
They found that his corporation has been doing fraudulent business.
I see in a brief summary, with Mar-a-Lago he inflated the value.
Agreements made years ago that it's a country club, but he does and says what he wants with the property.

I suspect CS is now far too serious a place to be weird and whacky but hey. It's Sunday and the sun is shining, worth a try.

I was kinda liking your Halloween profile photo... applause

Chris Christie...

Not much change. Christie tells the pro-Trump crowd they can't handle the truth... and gets booed.

In the US, the Toyota Yaris is their smallest model.

The larger Corolla Cross is an SUV, new this year and replaces the C-HR.

Ivanka needs a babysitter...

Oh, Ivanka withdrew her appeal. It looks like she found a baby sitter. thumbs up

Ivanka needs a babysitter...

Not really. I knew he was stiffing sub-contractors more than a decade ago. When they took him to court he was able to postpone court dates and delay where many of them went out of business as they no longer had funds to operate.

Remember his appearances on late-night talk shows where he toyed the idea of running for office? Many of his ideas were viable. He said what people wanted to hear and when it became political people lost their minds in support for him. Trump used to be a Democrat but switched to Republican saying it would be easier to win as they were stupid.
I'm sure that video is somewhere on the internet.

He was too tangled in international business and not suitable for public office. Someone turned their head at the vetting process.

Remember he was involved in the Miss Universe pageant? In order to have the event in Russia he needed Putin's approval. It's been said they met years before 'they met' when he was president.

When we were kids, wasn't Nikita Khrushchev feared he would declare war with America? I may not have the quote correct, but I think his statement was something to the effect that America will be so divided he will be able to walk in and take over our country without firing a shot.

There were a few on the other dating site who warned about who is really controlling the country. Secret societies and deep state topics were often brought up. You say I've got it bad for Trump. It frightens me you would vote for for him.

The Corolla hatchback is built on the frame of a Matrix.

My brother is driving a 23 year old Avalon with 230,000 miles.
He's got a Ford Ranger that's about the same vintage... built by Mazda.

I had a Celica for 13 years and beat that thing every time I got on the highway.
Somewhere around 220,000 miles. It needed a quart of oil every few weeks.

Ivanka got a lucky deal she wasn't implicated with the family.

Is the nose job blog still around?
It wouldn't surprise me if it disappeared with the the other 5,000 blogs that melted away.

Considering America has sleeper cells of every make and religious group... I'm expecting Trump to sign a deal with Putin that will assure him a win in 2024.

Not you or I can change world politics.

You didn't have a prayer Mike...

Again, there is no amount of fact or information regarding Trump that will change your mind. So why bother discussing it?

RE: Making plans for my second trip to the US (part 1)

Allow ample time between flights. If one plane is late it doesn't affect the connecting flight.

You didn't have a prayer Mike...

One difference I see is Trump's MAGA followers cannot (or don't want to) see through the lies.
Mexico paying for the wall is a good example.

Having under-powered cars all my life, a turbo would only get me in trouble!

When I lived in Miami, work was 40 miles away and sometimes I drove around checking on projects. Much of that was highway. Over 35,000 miles per year.
I'm missing the Toyota Corolla Hatchback as it was getting 40+ mpg if I traveled under the speed limit. The Mazda3 AWD doesn't come close.


I chose Mazda for a few reasons... I see lots of older models on the road, so they are good on longevity. The dealer gave me a fair trade and didn't jack-up the sticker price. The Subaru was considered but the dealer didn't have inventory. Toyota would have been my first choice but they were in-between styles. The RAV4 was too big. The Prius had a long waiting list with $5,000 over sticker. The Corolla Cross was a small SUV and I wanted to stay in a car and not an SUV.

Bootgate: How tall is Ron DeSantis...

The Napoleon complex, known informally as small man syndrome, is a syndrome normally attributed to people of short stature. It is characterized by overly aggressive or domineering social behavior, and carries the implication that such behavior is compensatory for the subject's physical or social shortcomings.

Good assessment. Thanks!
I distrusted Ron DeSantis by his words and actions, the faking his height is icing on the cake!

Sorry you didn't see the humor in a little distraction. There's too much shit going on in the world. Should we ban all petty light-hearted blogs and comedy?
I could easily go back to Trump blogs, as there are usually 10 new news stories about him and his legal issues... daily.

Bootgate: How tall is Ron DeSantis...

Huh?
It has nothing to do with his wife. It's about him lying. Height issue is often an ego issue.
People have noticed and I blogged about some of the news reports.
Pretty simple for a governor how has everyone else under a microscope.
