The car makers don't like the big brother safety/mileage stuff either but have no choice since that is forced by politicians.
The car makers do confess that a great many customers want convenience high tech computer gadgetry like gps etc though.
My concern is exactly that - the high tech gadgetry. I like to keep a car for 15-20 years but the new ones are cell phones with wheels. Ever heard of keeping a cell phone for 15-20 years?

At least one car company is moving away from touch screens. Personally, if I need something like GPS, set your phone to do then put it in a holder, the cup holder, somewhere you'll hear the guidance. Don't need to look at it.

Khajiit!
Please tell me you also have a cellphone that's almost 20 years old!
Having a cell phone that old is one thing, but being able to use it is another. They are trying to make old cars harder to use in many countries, but with cell-phones you just switch off 3G service, and it's done.

Yeah, and that's what's gonna kill it for me. It still works great and it's only on its second battery, but the shutting down 3G thing is what will make it unusable.

Always loved the holidays, even when I was unemployed. It's just something about it, you know?

I often find myself in a reverie of the Thanksgivings and Christmases of my childhood. Those memories are always so vivid and happy. The Holidays now feel more like sad reminders of better times.
Forgive me. I woke up wrong today.
Khajiit has a point. Still, one can always do the best one can to have a nice holiday, even if it can't live up to the ones of yesteryears

That’s true, and I do. I just wasn’t feeling quite myself yesterday. Sorry to have been such a downer.
Don't worry. I didn't notice much honestly. And it's more than ok to get stuff off your chest sometimes. I know I do that quite often; just recently about cars 
Christmas isn't the same but I still like it and I still want a tree and decorations, even if food has indeed become my favourite part!

I would be most happy to see your tree when you get done with it ‘Rocu!

Not much going on here S.S.D.D pretty much. Hurry up Friday, Papa needs to *imp out his Kriss Vector! I'm also getting another Grenade launcher for it .

Grenade Launcher square!

I'll probably buy this grenade launcher for my SCAR as its closer to the one that's goes with the SCAR . I'll just put the M203 on the Vector and call it good.
Do the grenade launchers on airsoft guns shoot out the nerf balls like what used to come with the Nerf Master Blaster?
Pew to the pew!

I made some videos showing off airsoft GL.
Showcase.
Firing.
You can either use foam balls (think stress balls) or fill the shells with BB's and fire it like a single shot shotgun.
I think I'm starting to like that nade launcher attachment more
Also; that red shed needs some paint

That “grenade” looked like it had some pepper on it coming out of the launcher!

I used to have a paintball gun but I got out of that hobby as I heard paintballs hurt more than airsoft bb's.
I used to have a sweetroll but some bad guys came for it. So, I took the sweetroll...

I recommend telling the first guard you see and inform him or her of your stolen sweetroll.
And then everyone will know instantly because they use telepathy!
Moo.
Moo indeed!

I named the new puppy after Loki, my Rottie/Blue Healer mix that passed away in 2019.
