It’s ‘Wienermobile’, not ‘Weinermobile’ - IE!

The Minox was not from ‘USSR’. It was invented by a Baltic German before WWII, and produced in (then independent) Latvia. After WWII, camera production was shifted to Germany.

...maybe stay for the night (night), or a bite (bite)...

I’ll not be going down this funnel web!

You dove right into it, warbling a lot, but that doesn’t make me finch one little bit!

No turducken for you on Thanksgiving!

That’s more ‘Tex-Mex’ than ‘Mexican’...

we’re talking about beer, not alcohol.

At least say ‘au reservoir’.

A glass of hop-tea, err, beer, does wonders...

yes, but the data format changed. And they did away with floppy drives - so it was all lost.

You will be surrounded by boring, cheesy people. You’re too young for a cruise! Do you already want to feel like you’re 60? Jeeze, git yourself kajaks, and a tent, and paddle down the Baja, or go up along Vancouver island, sleep on the beach, have a campfire and some good wine.

Yep, but semantics: I’d say a ‘timer’ is the prerequisite for any form of entrainment, or synchronization. Unless it doesn’t generate any form of predictable (e.g., sinusoidal) event, there’s nothing to synchronize with. It’s assumed that our nervous system generates a basic oscillation which is at the basis of all…

I get a hunch that the self-driving car is the new flying car - it’s always just a few years away.

Imagine looking out the airplane window and seeing a guy flying by.
