It's also great for emergency kits because it's a very compact package of kindling for lighting fires with your survival fire-starter or bow drill. That would also explain why you might keep a few in the boot, just in case.

There are a few clips here of Kamala Harris in action at a rally today. She's a lot more impressive than Trump. No wonder he's worried. Hopefully, she can keep it up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIDYzd-dNgY

I tried to do that in the 1980’s using Finite State Machines to teach the computer to pick patterns in data sets. Hopefully his efforts will be more successful.

Obviously doesn’t work or he’d be using it himself.

Changed his mind apparently: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-says-he-never-said-hell-donate-45-million-trump-2024-07-24/

Trump is now in favour of electric vehicles because Elon Musk has `endorsed him very strongly': https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/05/trump-endorses-electric-vehicles-elon-musk

Just to be sure it is one.

The woman’s hand is the same in both photos. Probably other clues as well.

I think the Empire is looking a bit unsteady and likely won’t last very long after his demise.

Yes, I think he’s often given credit for a masterstroke that was actually a lucky strike that didn’t land in the bunker this time.

I've often wondered whether Trump says the things he does purely instinctively or has some kind of plan in mind for playing to his audience. In other words is he actually shrewd, cunning, thinking on his feet and always well ahead of the game, or is he fundamentally a fool and just spouting whatever comes into his head, going off in all directions and hoping something lands that he can respond to and exploit further.

Even if he loses, unless it's in a clear landslide which is probably unlikely, he will again say the election was rigged and stolen. His followers will believe him and he won't go quietly. On the other hand if he wins, chances are it will be due to his cronies in the swing states who have been plotting in the background for months and who WILL have rigged the outcome in his favour.

Experience gives you the ability to recognise the same mistake when you make it again.

Josh Shapiro would be up there too.

He and Michelle endorsed her last week.

I think Pete is very smart and articulate, but the combination of a woman of colour and a gay guy might cause a bit of apoplexy among the more conservative fence-sitters they have to try to get over the line.

Well, it was worth a try. Hopefully your technique improved in time.

No shortage of spare tyres there.

She's selective. She doesn't swear all the time, and it's usually reserved for when she's talking to certain friends. I think it's mostly a performance, but why she thinks she needs to put on a show beats me.

I’ve never liked swearing and although I may mutter a word or two under my breath to myself when I’m doing something that’s not going right, I never swear in conversation.. I’m not offended by others swearing and even my kids do at times and also my wife. She never used to swear but these days when she’s angry or talking to some of her friends she swears like a trooper. That really irritates me, especially if it’s directed at me. I think I must be a bit odd, but then a lot depends on context. An Irish site manager I knew made sentences twice as long as they needed to be by making every second word a variation of ‘f..k’, but it was such a natural part of his conversation that it seemed quite normal.
