OK. Also getting a fairly random failure to save to Dropbox. This might be because when I created a PDF it gave it the name with .fadein.pdf as the extension.

I don't follow $TSLA but I just checked in and holy shit... it's off more than 40% since the December high. The big chart looks nasty too... it took 3 years to recapture the 2021 high, and then immediately fell off a cliff.

Not only did I not ask for this, not only is it laughably unhelpful, but I literally turned it off and it came back. Companies so desperate to justify the AI gimmick that they force it on paying customers... it's a great way to destroy brand affinity.

Oh, God, goggles absolutely. I use Outdoormaster ones from Amazon with a yellow lens. The other thing that's essential for me is bar mitts. I use the Draugenclaw ones. Hands are warm in thin gloves at -10C.

Real world timeline cleanse Nov. 16 and we haven't had snow yet in the snow belt. That's a first for me, going back 20 years in this area.

Gaetz's pitch: 'cuttin' fucking heads' www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...
“None of the attorneys had what Trump wants, and they didn’t talk like Gaetz,” the adviser said. “Everyone else looked at AG as if they were applying for a judicial appointment. They talked about their vaunted legal theories and constitutional bullshit. Gaetz was the only one who said, ‘Yeah, I’ll go over there and start cuttin’ fuckin’ heads.’”

I remain a fan of guillotines, but Princess Margaret's 1955 schedule is almost enough to make her an exception.

I know you didn't mean this, but just to be clear for anyone who isn't, the original word comes from 'peek' and 'boo', with no racist connotations whatever.
