Random Thoughts or Whatever

Early day due to snow. Working around the shop and yard anyway. So, went to BBC (British Beer Co) for dunch. Weird experience. My "waitress" was the manager. Busy restaurant + short staffed (there is a shortage of wait staff, not midget staff. 
) = manager works as waitress. The manager is not very familiar with the menu or which drinks are which. This has been the strangest dining out experience I have had so far.

From the restaurant to the library. We are REALLY in post pandemic times and yet, I was handed a mask as I walked in. There are many things I could say that would probably be seen as "conspiracy theory", whatever the f*** that means, but nonetheless true. We are certainly living in the very strangest time ever!

Mys, can you imagine a dedicated battery-trailer in tow, that would have to be required to propel the massive amount of weight!
How's that for thinking-outside-of-the-box?
Random or what?Mind you, I did come across some inventor-type working on an EV airplane. Now, this electrical concept... kinda worries me, eh?

The battery pack would take up so much internal space, there would be very little room left for the big gun`s ammunition storage, amongst other issues ! Yes/No ?

I`ve read and watched interviews many times over the yrs. that surviving American Tankers in WWII sarcastically referred to their gasoline fueled Sherman tanks as Zippos, especially engaging with a German Tiger !

Yeah, the wave of the future "Green" based ecologically sensitive waring !
Bluetooth headphones and earbuds are hands free devices, right? So when a person is having a phone conversation wearing these, why do they hold their phones stare at them? I have seen quite a few people do this when NOT on video, NOT doing anything online and NOT doing anything else with the phone. They just stare at the screen. If I am using bt phones or buds, my phone is in my pocket while I'm doing something else. That or it's on a table at home while I do something. If you're going to hold your phone why have a bt device?

A study in the American Economic Journal documents that judges in juvenile courts sentence kids more harshly after their preferred football team loses. The sentences are harsher for *about a week* after the loss.

General: Well, sir, I have good news and bad news. Which do you wanna hear first?
Leader: Gimme the bad news first.
General: Sir, they are sending them a new variety of Ground Launched Small Diameter (GLSD) missiles, which have a range of up to 93 miles and can be fired from rocket launchers and aircraft and can allegedly strike targets as small as three feet diameter.
Leader: Say, that is bad news. So, what's the good news?
General: The missiles are manufactured by Boeing.
