Ahh yes "VAPORISATEUR" is French for spray, so "Spray Spray". Someone in marketing did indeed stuff up. Trump: "Only the best people!".

Smells like cheeseburger. "VAPORISATEUR SPRAY" - Frenglish?

gentlemen, ladies, I sent 7 years of my childhood learning classical piano. When I come across people doing good classical music on the youtubery, I listen. This is worthy of said listen. Not excellent, but surely good.

Generational change starts somewhere. Think back, to when the printing presses started proliferating, every man and his dog started printing and distributing "pamphlets" saying - what ever it was they wanted to. Since the 15th century various laws have been put in place, by governments, around the publishing and dissemination of information, starting with the printed word and extending to the radio and TV and Movies... Could people find away around these laws? Sure, rife are the ways. The tech companies have been successful in avoiding, being placed into the realm of "Publishers". But for how long? The argument that the internet is a utility, only goes so far. It's where the companies make money, that laws will be effective. Eventually. If the Water company delivers, just water, then it's a utility. If it delivers Cyanide and Arsenic in the water, then the company is a murderer. Draw the analogy, that the internet companies deliver harmful content that causes deaths... if you can. In my humble view, we could always do with less people, the more serious problem, is the internet promoting ignorance.

and, why clever people triumph over the ignorant: You may have seen the news that Jack Smith is filing to have cases against Trump dismissed before he's "fired". Wise actions you might think. ... In fact, this move could be an effort to keep the cases alive in the long term. An interesting tell in each motion is Smith’s request to dismiss the cases “without prejudice.” That means that the cases can be filed again. By dismissing the cases now on his own terms, Smith blocks Trump’s attorney general from dismissing the cases for all time. ... _______ no link - work it out yourself if you want to.

The image was telling to me - he thinks he's King, and he eats fast food in preference to good food. 12 diet cokes a day, no other fluids... from: Link I ate like Trump for a week. I don’t understand how the man is still alive by Gareth Davies ... This is where the 78-year-old gets the bulk of his eating done. A long fast, and then a huge intake of calories. His meals – McDonald’s, KFC, pizza or steak. Seemingly on rotation. ...

Another fail. A pertinent read: "The Marching Morons"written by Cyril M. Kornbluth in 1951.

On that basis, I do have to ask: Cav? what position are you lined up for? Keeper of the Crown? McDonalds custodian?

Expat Tales: ‘Retiring here is easy and cheap’ (Cambo) ... Probably about 90% cheaper than NZ. Average restaurant meals (local food) are around $3 to $5, a beer is usually no more than $1 a can or glass, European-style meals are a bit more, around $10. Fruit and vegetables are cheap in the markets. Meat prices are OK if you want chicken or pork but imported steak is about the same price as in NZ, although it’s mostly Aussie beef. ... https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/360496283/expat-tales-retiring-here-easy-and-cheap
