The elderly parent I do tech support for most hates it when I call it a hamburger. I will definitely need to start using kebabs and meatballs (he won't understand bento or döner).

Ultimate Art Deco design. Beautiful.
Yes, of course, having a tiny radio or using your mobile telephoning device to listen to the latest swing music or news bulletin broadcasts is the bee's knees but this beast still looks better than any modern tech I know.

It's Elderly Parent Tech Support Day!!!
We had "no the other green button" and we had "let me do a conference call with these people and I WILL DO THE TALKING" and we had "no, you've misspelled your own name. It's Dad, not Dud"*.
Good times. Good times.

Taken from eye height sitting in the driver's seat of my car (which, granted, is a Mini Cooper).
The ram emblem is just about the height of my Mini's roof.
The hood is 3" taller than my head when I'm standing next to it.

BTW, if Senate Dems want technical reforms, here's one: amend 8 USC 1357 so DHS agents do not have power to arrest without a judicial warrant unless they are GS-1811, grade of GS-13 or higher.
Real criminal investigations would be unaffected, but CBP & ICE goon squads would be severely limited.

Breaking per NBC News — CBP has shot and critically wounded another person, this time in Arizona. Very few details available at this time.

We've lost another 4 seconds.
4 seconds isn't a lot, but it's a loss of 4½% of what we had last year.
We were at 17 min to midnight in 1991. 85 seconds (1.41 min) now.

It wasn't even close. It's inevitable that Chicago will get two (of six) snowplows named Abolish ICE and one named ICEbreaker.

I live a mile from a Costco, which means I can walk there.
Aside from the obvious exercise and nonpolluting benefits, there are the side benefits of not dealing with Costco Parking and also having a strict weight limit on what I can buy.

I'm not thrilled with this new interpretation of Paddington Bear, but I'm kinda on board with this:
I think at this point the UK has accepted Paddington as the Death Bear, collector of souls. So, I think as a nation we should start smearing marmalade on the eyes of the dead and whisper “fare for the crossing”. It’ll feel weird now but, in three of four generations, no one will question it.
