OH boy does that sound familiar except for the brinks truck.
All of us have a duty to not only society but to ourselves to take licenses away. I did it for my mom and her husband - Of course this means I drive them a lot but we also set a schedule of errands once a week at same time. He was essentially driving a bumper car. every time i dropped by I would check for new dents and scratches on his car.
However my biggest fear was an accident or a kid getting run over and that I would feel responsible as I had not acted appropriately. I would not let you leave my house piss loaded drunk and drive home at any time. So why would I allow someone to drive when they cannot see and kids are walking home from school.
I also have pledged to my kids that I will give up mine nice and early. Matter of fact I could give it up now in my 50s and just let others drive me around.
When I was a kid, I had an old guy showing me how simple it is to drive a car, while he was driving, I was in the back seat looking as he said, "It's easy, you have the steering wheel to steer, the accelerator to go, and this pedal is the braaa......." Smashed into the back of a parked tractor trailer. Hit the wheels and bounced back. Guy in the rig came out and asked if we were ok,
All the best for 2023.
My father-in-law is not all there in his head. We've been trying to get him to stop driving. He says he just uses the car to buy groceries and take his ex-wife (my mother-in-law) to her volunteer association where she works 3 or 4 days a week.
OK, I'm not making this shit up...
So today, he drops her off at the association and heads back to his apartment. Somehow he made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up in a city 30km away. He's completely disoriented and ends up running right into the back of a parked Brinks truck.
Well the Brinks guys aren't getting out, they immediately take off and call the cops. Could be some sort of staged holdup.
The cops come, he's unhurt, the car is a wreck. He may have to pay for whatever damage done to the truck, but those things are built like tanks on purpose.
Hopefully, now, he will STOP driving. Next time it might be a person.
Happy Newyear to all here. I know I'm not too informative but I do read all the posts

World leaders are urged to come together and formulate a plan. And by "world leaders" they don't mean you. However, according to HR, my application is still being considered.
Lol! YES! Excellent analogy!
iron lung willy has since quit smoking as well, he has abused the privilege !

I wonder how many would think that the illegal boarder crossings
are ok if they had to pay with their taxes instead of pushing the debt
off on our great grand children? open boarders are illegal.
Biden should be impeached, he took an oath to keep our boarders safe.
Over 100,000 Americans die every yr from over dose's.
That's the equivalent of a 747 going down every day with a full load
of passengers.
"You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy" ..... Sounds like NFT, Metaverse property owners, and crypto coins.

Found this link via Twitter {joe iniowa@Microcapreturns}- It's not the article itself that caught my eye, it was this picture- more precisely, it was Atomera's name on the sign. Granted, anybody can put a name on a sign and it doesn't mean or confirm anything- but, given the article's topic and Atomera being listed on it does offer a small "warm fuzzy" while we await actual confirmation of revenue/adoption.

"Except, perhaps, the native American's idea of how things work..."
I have always been impressed with native American spirituality.
I, too, share a belief in the Trinity as well as a dissatisfaction with "organized" religion. What has always fascinated me about native American spirituality is that they share a very deep "connection" (for lack of a better term) in their beliefs and practices without qualifying, quantifying, or justifying their position. They simply accept "the Great Spirit" as is. Deepest display of faith imo.
AWWwwwwww....you're taking all the fun out of it 😭
Wow, I don't 'member this scene and I'm sure I saw all the 24 series episodes...??
My son is exploring religion . While I've never pushed it on him, he knows from subtle conversations that I do believe in God. Now I have to go to mass with him tomorrow. What I don't believe in is religion. It is corrupt, all forms.
Except, perhaps, the native American's idea of how things work, got a small amount of Native American blood in me from a great great great great... ancestor.
Sorry if I offended anyone in any way.

The Physics of Santa Claus
A Scientific Disproof of the Santa Theory, and a couple of Rebuttals Thereto. Original source: sirius@wam.umd.edu (The Human Neutrino aka Linda Harden)
Original Title: IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS?
No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.
There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear to) handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census)rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.
Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west(which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding etc.
This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man- made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.
The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal anoint, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.
353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecrafts re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake.The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim)would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.
In conclusion -- If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.
Now some Christmas cheer;
Little Johnny's Letter to Santa
You must be surprised that I'm writing you today, the 26th of December. Well, I would very much like to clear up certain things that have occurred since the beginning of the month! While filled with illusion I wrote you a letter and I asked for a bicycle, an electric train set, a pair of rollerblades, and a football uniform. I destroyed my brain studying the whole year! Not only was I the first in my class, but I had the best grades in the whole school. I'm not going to lie to you, Santa, there was no one in my entire neighborhood that behaved better than me. With my parents, my brothers, my friends and with my neighbors, I would go on errands and even help the elderly cross the street. There was virtually nothing I wouldn't do for humanity!
WHAT BALLS YOU HAVE LEAVING ME A FUCKING YO-YO, A STUPID ASS WHISTLE, AND A PAIR OF SOCKS! WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING, YOU FAT SON OF A BITCH? YOU'VE TAKEN ME FOR A SUCKER THE WHOLE FUCKING YEAR, TO COME OUT WITH SOME SHIT LIKE THIS UNDER THE DAMN TREE. AS IF YOU HADN'T FUCKED ME ENOUGH, YOU GAVE THAT LITTLE SHITHEAD ACROSS THE STREET SO MANY FUCKING TOYS, THAT HE CAN'T EVEN WALK INTO HIS DAMN HOUSE! PLEASE DON'T LET ME SEE YOU TRYING TO FIT YOUR BIG FAT ASS DOWN MY CHIMNEY NEXT YEAR! I'LL FUCK YOU UP! I'LL THROW ROCKS AT THOSE STUPID ASS REINDEERS OF YOURS, AND SCARE THEM THE FUCK AWAY, SO YOU'LL HAVE TO WALK YOUR BIG FAT ASS BACK TO THE NORTHPOLE, JUST LIKE I HAVE TO DO SINCE YOU DIDN'T GET ME THAT FUCKING BIKE, YOU PUNK BITCH!! YOU KNOW WHAT SANTA, FUCK YOU!! NEXT YEAR YOU'LL FIND OUT HOW BAD I CAN REALLY FUCKING BE...YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING ON A MOTHERFUCKER FAR TOO LONG! SO WATCH YOUR BACK NEXT YEAR, YOU FAT BITCH!
Sincerely, Johnny
