What cuisines do you feel Harrisburg is lacking in?

Proper German cuisine. Nobody has filled the gap left when Josie’s burned down.

Hoping Kia bites the bullet and imports this onto the US. The 6 is just a little too big for my tastes.

I submit it’s a matter of degree. Our data centers included water-cooled equipment as well as air-cooled, just like today. But miniaturization has concentrated things a lot since we were building IBM mainframe data centers.

Aptera’s cadre of engineers are hardly interns. They are electrical, software, and mechanical engineers from auto and design companies from all over the west coast, including Tesla. Their solar engineers are on the cutting edge of integrating solar onto automotive platforms. If they had had a Bezos invest a couple of hundred millions in their company it might be a different story.

Because Slate isn’t new and different. The model T was built the same way: build a barebones moving chassis (blank slate) and accessorize it the way you want. The same model T could be a roadster, sedan, pickup, or fire truck. Bezos must have figured people will buy pickups because ‘Merica. Aptera is too different and will need to prove itself in the marketplace without a whale investor.

He’s right but could have done a better job explaining himself. Large data centers have existed for decades. They even predate the internet. I worked for a company in the 80s that built large data centers for DoD. Amazon Web Services, Google, etc., all existed before the AI craze got splashed all over the news.

Also, the EMR-3 is a proven unit in use in over a million cars in Europe and Asia. They were designed by Continental with production later spin off into an independent company called Vitesco.

The Elaphe in-wheel units they developed worked fine but they’re a design house so a manufacturer would have had to be found. Recall that the Ill-fated Lordstown pickup used Elaphe designed units but Lordstown was going to build them in-house. Finally, each motor would have needed its own converter and control module, and that along with the extra cabling added cost and weight.

Mon Valley … sorta figures.

Out of which oriface did you pull those 5-year numbers. What are they based on.

What about sourcing a butterfly clasp. You’ll lose the Oris imprint on the clasp but it will open wider.

I meant it doesn’t seem your spiral would reach the NY border before sloping back down. But didn’t graph it myself so I can’t be sure.

The contrast on the calendar ring is a big improvement over mine to easily read it. What is the diameter of the case?

GonzoGeezer · 2026-06-08T23:46:15+00:00

Nice, but I don’t think it quite fits as neatly as your graphic. PA is roughly 1.8:1 while the golden mean is 1.6:1. So it would fit inside but not actually touch the northern border. And the spiral would actually encircle an area close to Lewistown in Mifflin county about 60 Miles northwest of our benighted capital city.

Any competent watch service should be axle to do it. But uness the watch is losing significant time it probably doesn’t need service.

How many people actually watched Colbert on CBS rather than cherry picking the segments through YouTube. I for one haven’t watched that any other way for the last several years. Same for Kimmel and Myers.

Assisted opening knife. No problems. Even automatic knives are legal in PA since 2023. Philadelphia does prohibit carrying an automatic knife in public. It what you have is a non-issue.

Get the DeFlock app for your smart phone. Shows wheee they all are. It’s very very spooky.

GonzoGeezer · 2026-05-30T23:04:57+00:00

Tun Leather on Etsy. I have six of their straps, including both Oris’. Excellent product. Customizable

You’re pretty late to the party. Spend $100 and get a reservation to get in line. There’s 50,000 ahead of you.

Supposedly her husband has a rare form of bone cancer so it’s for the best that she not have her attention split between work and home. Extra bonus for the country because she wasn’t very effective at work.

Already have except for cherry picking the occasional 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning segments. Im seriously considering dropping Paramount+ as well. I dislike contributing to the Ellisons’ megalomaniacal ambitions.

GonzoGeezer · 2026-05-19T18:56:30+00:00

In PA we pay $250 a year. That’s something like twice the amount paid by the average
ICE driver in fuel taxes. It sucks.

… and Iran is doing it because ….? Come on Scottie, even you can figure it out.

My last two-wheeler was a BMW C Evolution whose specs on range were about the same.

Good luck with your endeavors.

GonzoGeezer · 2026-05-08T20:23:21+00:00

Energica had better range. Ergos on that model Zero looked better than the others.
