  Steve Jobs predicted the Segway would become as big as the PC. Jeff Bezos called it one of the most “anticipated product introductions.” Segway production ceased in 2020.

  It's almost as if there might be some connection between the Trump family and Russia, but I can't quite put my finger on it. https://www.propublica.org/article/donald-trump-jr-wedding-bankrolled-russian-oligarch-umar-kremlev-putin

  I keep hoping that MAGA will pull the scaffold out of retirement they made for Mike Pence and put it to better use. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/09/14/average-price-diesel-minnesota-rises-above-6-gallon

  My brother-in-law is VERY hard of hearing & recently bought some "captioning" glasses. They have been life-changing for him. Even with hearing aids it was previously very difficult for him to participate in conversations. The difference is very apparent when talking to him now. He let me try them & I was amazed how well they work. As a person speaks, the text is displayed in your field of vision & they can also provide instantaneous translation of many l...

  Saudi pipeline closure is a brief interruption that will last days, U.S. Energy secretary tells CNBC “Judging from the on-line pictures, it will take months to repair,” said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. I don't think there's a single person in this administration who knows how to tell the truth. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/15/saud-arabia-east-west-pipeline-iran-war-chris-wright.html

  We got tired of listening to MSM parroting establishment Democrats (who have failed to hold Trump and Israel accountable) and eventually realized that we were no longer watching much TV. We've now taken it a step further and cancelled our DishTV service, so none of the networks will be getting revenue from us. We'll still be able to stream Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell when we feel the need, and it feels great knowing that Fox News, CBS and CNN will no longer be getting a di...

  Just "upgraded" to iPhone from a Samsung Android and am a bit disappointed. Though physically about the same size, the iPhone is heavier, and it's squared off shape feels a bit awkward. I also miss the (virtual) backspace button, and the Apple messages keyboard has the comma and period keys on the num page, which seems really odd. The Samsung keyboard was much better. First-world problems, I know. I switched to iPhone for the AirTag compatibility as our cat has an AirTag on his col...

  @xs4me2@mastodon.social Personally, I'd rather use the French method.

  I've never owned anything Apple, but I am finally considering ditching Android only because we use Apple AirTags (on my wife's iPhone for now) to keep track of our cats. Is there a downside to switching that I should know about?

  The picture on the left was taken 63 years ago when our family moved from Los Angeles to Kansas City. I'm hoping to recreate the trip in one of my old Ramblers, but parts of the route have been a mystery. I'd assumed the photo was taken around Palm Springs or 29 Palms--definitely SoCal it seemed to me--but after obsessing over this for eons I finally found the spot, in the SW corner of Utah on old US91. This was the main route from Vegas to Salt Lake before I-15 was built. #ClassicCars #...

  @LALegault@newsie.social Agreed. The No Kings gatherings are a step in the right direction, but a million people marching on Washington would send a much more powerful message.

  The Mad King is getting wackier by the day as the country's problems spin out of control. He's started a war he can't get out of, inflation was climbing even before oil went up to nearly $100 a barrel, the stock market is near correction territory, the Government shut down is causing airport delays as TSA workers call in sick and his popularity is at an all-time low... just in time for next Saturday's No Kings protests. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/21/t...

  Interesting development on the possibility of obtaining Canadian citizenship. I was born in NZ, but Canada does not differentiate between US and NZ, even though both NZ and Canada are British Commonwealths. However, I have a Canadian great-Grandfather, and somehow a new law allows citizenship by descent over multiple generations. Documentation is critical, but my sister, the family historian, has birth certificates etc. going back to the 1870s. I remain skeptical, but hopeful.

  It looks like Orange Julius is about to bankrupt another business. It doesn't help that Trump Media holds US$1.3 billion in Bitcoin, which is now experiencing a sell-off. The Crypto King has been hyping Bitcoin extensively. https://futurism.com/future-society/stock-trump-media-crashing
