If you want solutions, look in the mirror

  The last new vehicle I bought was back in the early 90's.  At the time, it was a decision based upon choice, not necessity.  Things change, and now it is necessity more than choice.

  My experiences are a lot like this guy's says his is.  The difference is that he seems to have found a way to deal with it.

  You hear a lot about "affordability" these days.  Could it be that nobody listens anymore?

  If there were people who listened, then there would be solutions to problems. Instead of solutions, the prevailing thing is just to make the problems even worse.

  There's another video on the suggestion list that says "F88k you, I got mine."  It blames it on boomers for being selfish.  Yeah?  Who ISN'T selfish?  C'mon.  Not that there isn't any validity to the criticism, but calling others selfish is like the pot calling the kettle black.

  Nobody listens, nobody gives a sh!t.  If you are dissatisfied, start with yourself.

Why the US Navy Rushed USS Tripoli to the Strait of Hormuz

A ship that was considered a mistake may crack the code to the puzzle of the Strait of Hormuz.





Another piece of equipment not highly esteemed anymore may also play a role:



The follow-up will take some time, but the result is inevitable. The Straight will be open for business...

They probably can't touch the newspapers, but they sure can touch the broadcasters.

If you ax me, this should've happened a long time ago.

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.

The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they… https://t.co/7bBgnsbalw

The Shroud of Turin

3/15/26:

A genetic analysis results in anomalous results. In other words, a satisfactory explanation for the cloth still does not exist. But the evidence does show that it is not a forgery.



4/4/21:

The first I heard of it was way back in the early eighties, if memory serves. There was a guy today on the internet who was claiming the Shroud is a fake.

One could argue the point, I suppose. If I were to argue, it would be along the lines that nobody knows how such an object could have come into being. You can claim it is a fraud based upon certain tests, but how do you explain its very existence?

The technology to reproduce the relic still doesn't exist, if I am not mistaken. Once that is figured out, maybe there would be a cause for claiming fraud. Or there wouldn't be. The next question is if you reproduce it today, how did somebody in the middle ages fake this, and why?

Find an answer for that one.

At any time that I get the idea that it is taking a long time to get this system together, I just need to watch these deep-dives.

This isn't an easy job they're taking on.

Know what I mean, Vern?

That's cheaper than my van. How can this be?
