It is interesting the kinds of things that most cameras can manage. Most people leave the camera on auto and call it quits. It is important for people to get acquainted with the little M for manual features of the camera. Most artificial intelligences are pretty foolish, seeing as thought they were programmed by very foolish people indeed. Remember that Uber robot that ran over a pedestrian? Now the silly computer is like "I did not see the old woman coming". This goes to show that the US streets were not meant for pedestrians, when even a robot with 1000...

There is a building epidemic in South Florida. Everywhere I look they are gutting the streets and making new buildings. I would think it were dandy if I did not distrust politicians.

It is not the most effective way of getting money towards their Cayman Island secret accounts, but the fools here do not know any better. They should play Tropico.

Here is a somewhat old drawing featuring British knight of sorts. This was the sort of fashion that was popular in the British court. They would not battle in those outfits. Rather, they would sit and chat with their fellows about the weather, hunting and occasionally diplomacy. The rapier was also part of the outfit. It evolved from the Spanish, Espada Ropera.  Original specimens are shorter, but extremely sharper. They can pierce right through a pig in one trust. That is how those swords were tested. Poor, pigs. Anyhow, the rapier that evolved from it, took on many forms. Most...
