January 21

12:03/10:03 Tous les mêmes... Abia ce am scris despre faptul că în SUA nu poți să ai job fără mașină...

2:29 Many have been written about Pearl Harbor... Here's one more...

9:12/7:12 Pe asta n-am văzut-o... Apropo, credeți că este întâmplătoare cerința lui Putin ca Bulgaria și România să fie retrase din NATO? Tocmai ce am spus care cred că este motivul pentru care românii nu pot călători în SUA fără vize, iar Bulgaria este în aceeași situație. A și o chestie... De ce nu și Ungaria?

10:20 I made a meatloaf and put the picture here, two days ago...

12:30 Soundgarden (Black Hole Sung Band) bassist.

12:53/10:53 A și încă o diferență mare între SUA și România. În SUA nu poți face plângere penală. Poți cel mult să te duci la poliție (locală), cea de stat are jurisdicție numai pe highways și freeways în afara localităților sau la șerif care e pe county (comitat, echivalent județ, sector) și să te plângi, dar nu în scris. 

Și primarul, de care aparține poliția locală și șeriful sunt aleși. Te duci acolo, este un telefon, vorbești cu dispecerul, te așezi pe un scaun și aștepți, dispecerul cheamă un polițist de pe teren, care vorbește cu tine, ia niște notițe, îți dă un număr de caz și cam atât. Sau poți suna la numărul de ne-urgențe și vine polițistul acasă, ceea ce nu e confortabil pentru tine fiindcă dacă el se simte neconfortabil mai duce și mâna la pistol din când în când, în funcție de tonul conversației, (până se convinge că nu ești violent, de obicei la sfârșit). Dacă polițistul nu consideră, plângerea nu merge mai departe.

9:19 About several days ago (when the guy upstairs moved back) i wrote about filling some holes with soil taken from near the hydrant. Apartment just filled with smoke, went outside and saw the holes collapsed again. For moment i just stepped and plugged the holes, but now soil is pushed deeper. It's like someone or something is stealing the soil, from underground. I was thinking of going and taking some soil to fill them, However, the same minivan that have been here for months, several hours a day (i saw it driven by Japanese people, men and women), is there, in the middle of the alley, flashing yellow lights and don't feel like it.

Got a big problem with a tooth, i need an extraction, and like usually, it became apparent at the beginning of the weekend. And i'm mad at myself, because i just discovered that the "not so infected tooth" caused other problems in the last 6 months, like pains in shoulders that started after exercise and never went away completely, knee hurt working on car that never heals, etc.. 

The tooth pain was vague enough for me to decide not to go to the dentist until i realized, yesterday the link. In Romania, they call it rheumatism, but it's actually bacterial infection spread from teeth in most vulnerable or vaguely injured parts of your body. But today. What happened today. After hours of feeling like chocking in here, with my hands cold (heart failure) per cause of some sort of ninja engineered mold, i went outside. Didn't really wanted, but people yelling, moving furniture, at first entrance, handywoman coming from the next entrance made me climb to the other alley, between building and garages. But then i discovered in the mulch 2 dog poos, other items, among them a small bottle with something that could have been medicine. Walk did me good, my hands started to heat up, but now i have an extra bug in my tooth that took off.

9:53 Today i also remembered something. The unusual looking guy, tall though Asian, dressed in an uniform, who was leading the team of guys spreading the redwood chips. Red Bark. Figure. I talked to him asking not to put too much like last time. I'm pretty sure he looked like this guy.

9:54 Just saw a 2006 documentary on Amazon. "Who killed the electric car?". I will summarize it with my own words, but you can read about in Wikipedia or simply see it. Here's the link to the trailer on youtube. EV1. Subliminal for evil?

I didn't know GM, under pressure from a California law, manufactured in 1996 a limited number of electric cars, all leased in California. For the purpose of testing the market, themselves came with the conclusion they weren't worth it. "There was no demand,  too expensive and underperforming" they said in the end when the leases ended and cars were taken back from regretful customers) (not mass produced, everything is more expensive). Other manufacturers including Toyota had similar projects.

With nickel metal hybrid batteries, they had an autonomy of 70 miles and went at California speeds of 80-90 mph. Enough for daily commute, though kinda small when compared to the gigantic SUVs some like to drive. Small trunk.

Enough to say. My own 98 Chevy S10 made in cooperation with Isuzu, had an electric version. For a bad rap?

Thing is they delayed the electric revolution by 20+ years.

One thing. You can see in this movie how real Californians look (or looked like). Not the Hollywood type. Not Tom Hunks or Schwarzenegger no uh-huh.

10:46/8:46 Din cauza terenului. Imaginați-vă cum ar fi tunelul, viaductul și în general o autostradă în zona aceea. Mult mai scump de construit, impact mai mare asupra mediului. Gaura aceea în munte ar fi de zece ori mai mare (ca suprafață secțiune), la fel și viaductul, etc..

Iar am scris de Szijjártó, prietenul rușilor, iar a venit "Predoiu" cu SIIJ. Chestiile astea mă deprimă.

11:13 Simona Halep, ceva mereu de văzut printre alte știri. De ce ne mai trebuie carnaval la Rio dacă avem tenis feminist?

11:31/9:31 Adică o treime din actorii și cântăreții din Ungaria sunt în străinătate, făcând pe politicienii și oamenii de afaceri.
