Hi there.

Are you a fan of Disney?

The Disney character Minnie Mouse is short for Minerva mouse.

Yea I enjoy Disney and watching their other channels ESPN and ABC

Yes me too.

Do you remember the movie flubber?

Bill Nye was the science consultant for that movie.

That pretty cool, i wonder if there are any hidden mickey mouse images in flubber

Oh yeah it's funny you should ask.

There's a whole subculture dedicated to finding hidden Mickey Mouse images in all things Disney.

That's pretty cool, did you know Big Hero 6 was rendered with a 55,000 core supercomputer, that's insane

Holy cow that is insane.

I still need to watch that movie.

Is it good?

I also need to watch Wall-e which was named after Walter Elias Disney!

No I haven't seen any of those yet too busy watching ESPN and their emmy winning yellow line on football games

Yes that was a great invention on their part.

I love watching American football and I think it's the best version of them all!

Yea, I love watching Benjarvus Green-Ellis play, he has never fumbled the ball

He is an amazing player for sure.

Do you know what the highest score ever in the football game was?

It was 222 to 0.

Yea, Georgia Tech destroyed Cumberland in 1916

So unsportsmanlike.

I wonder if painting the visiting locker room at the University of Iowa has ever paid off for that school?

I doubt so, painting the visiting locker room pink sound calm and relaxing to me

Yes me too.

Have you watched other variations of football like Australian rules, rugby, or Gaelic football?

I've watched Australian Rules and Rugby, both seem like they would be fun to play

Oh nice.

Yes but definitely risky because they don't wear as many pads as the NFL.

Sometimes I watch games on my computer!

It's crazy that smoking voids the warranties of apple computers, sounds like a rip off

I agree I don't really think it makes it a biohazard like they say.

Well thanks for chatting with me I had a good time.

You too, I'm gonna check out the Russian computer that runs on water

Yeah I can't believe they were able to develop that!

Well have fun and see ya later!


Do you think sexual misconduct allegations fall along partisan lines?

I think it is an issue for everyone to be concerned with.

I think it's too pervasive in society and was actually just harassed in the last conversation I had.

It was harassed?

How come, I wonder what other people's opinions about it are.

Do you mind sharing?

The dude was just making inappropriate comments about women in the NFL.

No matter what people believe about the issues surrounding Kavanagh and Dr. Ford, it is very wrong to treat a woman and call them offensive names like that.

Thank you.

It is crazy how much it is entangled in society Harvey Weinstein has had so many allegations

It is sad and very alarming to see people mock tense situations like sexual harassment, I believe the president does that to a certain extent as well.

no doubts about it.

I can't believe he's even nominating kavanaugh to the court.

Yeah, the president is supposed to be a leader but his actions haven't warranted any great leadership skills in my opinion.

This is the case where I hope the runner up in a presidential election automatically became vice president like back in the 1800s, I wonder how that would've worked out since the runner up is someone from the opposing parties.

Maybe there'd be some sort of checks and balances in place.

yeah and i think the way the news is so left or right winged is messed up too.

Fox is too conservative and they dont report facts, in my opinion.

Fox definitely is a biased news channel, maybe it has to do with the fact that it was created by a Republican media strategist and Nixon.

I always have to change it in the apartment gym because that's the only channel people watch here.

true.

Nixon was a different kind of conservative though, he actually had a lot of programs that helped peoples welfare.

It's so twisted.

it's for old people who dont have a progressive way to think the average age of their viewers is nearly 70 years old.

That's the best way of describing that news channel!

I've never heard of the gaming site IGN, but apparently it also owns Fox, I wonder if the games are conservative as well.

Do you know?

that is interesting.

I didnt realize they owned it.

I think they cover all games though.

fox confuses me because it's a subsidiary of the fox entertainment group and not all of their stuff is so biased and right winged

Yeah, perhaps it has something to do with leadership.

I've learned that great leadership goes a long way but when you have a president focused on proving his wealth, then his agenda gets distorted somehow.

The top three wealthiest presidents in American history are actually JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.

I wonder if that's adjusted for inflation too?

thats a good point.

do you have a favorite president?

mine is Lincoln and FDR.

FDR was the last person to speak a foreign language fluently in the presidency.

I liked Obama but because I really find his ability to capture the audience through his speeches is great and worth paying attention to.

I also like him because Michelle was also a great role model to the public as well.

Which foreign language did FDR speak fluently?

french, i believe.

Oh wow, I guess as some would like to call "The Romance Language".

Fashionistas can tell whether or not you got your clothes tailored by looking at the collar gaps on your clothes, I don't think any of my clothes are tailored.

I am learning to sew to tailor and make my own clothes.

i think it is interesting how clothing is different through cultures.

the greeks made clothes out of asbestos!

Oh wow, I've attempted to hem my own jeans once and that was a disaster.

How are you learning to sew and tailor?

From asbestos?

I hope they know there's a health risk to that!

Would people buy asbestos clothing?

i dont think people will buy them now that they know about it.

I am really just teaching myself...i watch a lot of youtube videos and trial by error.

Wow, that's talented!

I wish you good luck in those endeavors.


Hi.
Are you interested in politics?

A bit, as long as it doesnt get nasty I like to keep informed.

I was surprised to find out that Fox news keeps a lot of people informed.

It is watched more the CNN and MSNBC combined.

It does.
It was created partially by Nixon too.

I did not know that.

I would watch a Fox News cable channel that would only air the Simpsons.

I would too, it would likely get old fast though, and I love the simpsons!

Its funny that they proposed that channel because Fox news also threatened to sue the Simpsons to stop them from parodying their content.

I know, that is kind of odd.

I always wondered how the two existed on the same network, that and all the time Family Guy was televised on Fox too.

I am surprised that Fox News airs in 86 countries, I would think Americans would be the only ones interested in the content.

Much agreed.

Unless the content is adapted for the local area.

A lot of countries are interested in American politics.

I supposed I am interested in the Zimbabwe President called President Banana.

HA!
I had to google that one.
His real name was Cannan Banana.

The world is quite the interesting place.

The President of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office.

I wonder how his country feels about that.

I wonder how our current President feels about the fact that the guest house is larger than the White House.

His house is the best house..  no one has a better house than he does... truly terrific.

Great impression!

I am shocked that he is not one of the top three wealthiest Presidents in American history.

Me too, I wonder if it is inflation that is accounted for, or just some outdated data.

I agree.

Something to look into.

Well thanks for chatting.

I learned a lot of new and interesting information.

Same here!
Have a good night!

Keep learning and enjoy watching Fox News.


Hello, do you watch Fox News at all?

I do, mostly because it was created by a Republican media strategist.

It is provided in 86 countries now

That is great news!

It is watched more than MSNBC and CNN combined.

Did you know they belong to 21 Century Fox?

Yes, part of the FOX Entertainment Group.

Did you know they almost made a channel for the simpsons?

Wow!

I knew the Simpsons were popular, but not that popular!

Funny because the once threatened to sue the simpsons

Yeah, I think the Simpsons were making fun of  Fox's anti-Democratic agenda.

News should not have agendas....guess they made up with the simpsons.

They must have.I think it is kind of fun that Fox news survived even though one of its creators was Richard Nixon.

Wow thats bananas.

By the way, Zimbabwe had a President by that name...Banana

Oh nice, makes what our President gets called a little less extreme.

I'm just glad that the loser of the Presidential election no longer becomes VP.

Someone was thinking in 1805 when that changed.

Yes, two enemies running the country is not good.

I could not agree more!

I'm just glad to be a part of the post 1805 generation.

Yes where presidents can have albums like in indonesia

That must be entertaining.

Speaking of entertaining, the President's guest house is bigger than the White House.

I guess that takes care of his entertainment responsibilities.

Yes, the Blair House.
It is mostly red brick too.
Take care and good night.

Oh sounds nice.
You have a good night too.
Nice chatting.

Good night


Do you watch Fox news?

Hello,  no I havent watched that show,  any good?

It's ok.

It is popular.

Fox news is watched more than CNN and MSNBC combined!

Wow thats a lot of viewers.

I heard fox news threatened to sue the simpsons.

They did?
What for?

They were pissed because the simpsons were parodying its famous anti-demogratic agenda.

lol  That's funny.

Fox news corp. almost created a cable channel that would only run the Simpsons.

Fox must have really been mad at the creators to try to sue them since they worked with them already.

lol

Yeah and since its one of there more popular shows.

Yes.

Did you know that Richard Nixon had a part in creating Fox news?

No I had no idea!

Yep.
Are you a fan of clothing?
I am.
I try to wear it as much as I can.
lol

Yes,  I like clothing.

You try and wear as much as you can at once?

Oh yeah...even layers upon layers in the winter.

lol  Did you know that pilgrim clothing was full of color and they only wore black and white for special occasions?

Yes,  In the winter is a must.

I have those insulated jackets.

Really helpful if you live in really cold weather.

Thats weird I guess tv has just misled us into thinking they always wore black lol

lol Yes.

...and I know!

Same with school...they always made us think black too!

I never knew apple made a clothing line,  I wonder what kind of clothes they sold.

I didn't know that either.

I bet that stuff is worth some money now.

There is a store in Alabama that sells only clothes and other items found in unclaimed baggage at airports.

Maybe they have some Apple clothing?

lol

Maybe,  that seems like a good business,  I bet they get a lot of good stuff in left over luggage.

I know right?

Fashion aficionados look for collar gaps in clothes to tell you get your clothes tailored or not.

They would laugh at my clothes.

Oh wow,  I wonder why that is important to know.

I'm guessing because they probably know a lot about it.

It's been fun chatting with you!

Greatt chat,  thanks!


Hi, do you know what a bromance is?

Yeah, I do and it seems that the presidet and French president might have one.

What do two presidents talk about within a bromance?

I cannot see a bromance between the two...

Yeah and now Trump said that Macron's European army proposal is very insulting so if there was a bromance it might not survive.

Seems like a pretty shallow bromance if it cannot stand a few misslies and the threat of destruction.

The way he has ostracized Merkel seems like he shouldn't loose any more leader's friendships...

Apparently they shared an awkward long handshake that was all over the news.

I feel like he shares a lot of awkward with a lot of people.

He's not even the wealthiest president!

Apparently i that handshake, they were shaking hands for six seconds and their knuckles turned white and jaws clenched.

Trump tried to let go twice but Macron would not let go.

How odd.

HA!

Are you suggesting two "alpha" males are being weird when egos are involved?

Never...

I just think they are public figures so they should be able to put their egos aside in public.

Haha.

The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums.

I had no idea.

Can you imagine if Trump did that?

Yeah, at least our president isn't doing that.

Wonder if the albums are any good.

I do not want to find out!

Maybe he can record in one of the two identical white house buildings in ireland or france.

Speaking of the white house, I did not know that the presidential guest house is bigger

I know there are not christmas trees in the white house.

Teddy Roosevelt banned them!

Interesting!

George Bush had solar panels put back on the White House.

I guess someone had taken them down.

They took them down before or after Bush?

Are they still there?

I guess they took them down before him since he was the one to put them back.

I think they might still be there but I'm not sure.

I find Bush to be an underrated president, with the whole Iraq war shading his entire presidency.

Yeah, interesting that he was into solar panels.

On another note, the White House is behind on some of their technology.

They still use floppy disks for file storage.

That seems dated.
Nice chatting with you!


Pilgrims didnt just wear black clothes, that is a new fact for me

That's interesting.

I never knew Greeks made clothing out of asbestos, sounds like a bad idea

I never knew that either, thats interesting, just like how Apple had its own clothing line back in 1986

There's still a tribe in Africa that wears victorian clothing, that must be uncomfortable

It must be uncomfortable, I wonder why they do that, I guess some traditions stick over time

Yea, the tribe has been wearing it since the german occupied the territory

Oh I see, its a long tradition then, do you know the brand Rip Curl?

Rip Curl sounds vaguely familiar

Its a popular brand in the US so they make their clothes in North Korea but their labels say made in China

Sounds illegal.

Did you know a man in china wore 70 items of clothing in an airport to avoid the bagging charge?

He did?

that seems like a lot of trouble just to avoid taxes lol

Yea but people do strange things like using old faithful to do their laundry on

Lests talk about movie soundtracks now!

Stephen Spielberg played the clarinet in the Jaws soundtrack.

I didn't know that.

Apparently the release of the Phantom Menace soundtrack spoiled major plot points of the film before it was released

It did, wow, I never  paid attention to the lyrics of the song, did you watch the movie Tron Legacy?

Nope, never seen tron legacy

What about Daft Punk do you know the band?

Yea I heard of them, I like Rage against the machine, their song on the Godzilla soundtrack criticized the film

Well they are the band that made the soundtrack to Tron Legacy, and really?

thats odd, criticizing the film in the soundtrack

Did you know Michael Jackson wrote the soundtrack to Sonic 3?

No I didnt know that, seems like theres a lot of facts I dont know about soundtracks and also MJ


What do you think about the Miss America pageant over the years?

I don't know what to say about that....
I guess it's cool?
What about you?

I say let people do what they want.

If people want to enter and people will pay to watch, have at it.

Yeah I feel the sameway.

What gets me is that when I was a teen, the contestants seemed to be sophisticated women, now they seem to be children.

Of course, that has to do with me.

Yeah you're right about that.

I guess the times are different now.

Back in the 60s they wore sexy swimsuits  but now a lot of people aren't as interested in that

It does seem like there are some girls who still want to participate in pageants now.

Yeah you do have a point.

So why do you think people are attacking it now?

Social media gives people a platform to attack almost anything.

It is just a matter of which stories the national media picks up.

Tell me do you think if we had social media back in the 60s people would still attack the Miss America pageant?

I don't think so.

We were a more religious society back then.

I think that Don Rickles was the leading edge of coarseness in our society.

HAHA yeah he was...  On another note did you know that in 1975 Mcdonald's added drive-thru for soldiers who wasn't  allowed to get out of their car while wearing fatigues?

That is great marketing.

Provide what the customer needs.

It is something how that caught on so well.

Yup,   so have you come across any interesting articles?

I find it to be incredible that flame throwers are legal in cars in South Africa.

wow flame throwers on cars sounds intense

While our most expensive possession is usually a house, most of the people there have a most expensive possession of an Uzi.

It is scary.

Yeah that's crazy, and you said you been over there?

Yes.

And we were told "Do not take a cab from the airport"  We had to be picked up by someone we knew.

At the time, 20% of the population was HIV positive.

Wow...

So  that whole flame-thrower being legal is true?

No doubt..

The gated communities were surrounded by walls with constantino wire.

Intruders would crawl through the gates behind cars when they would enter.

I need to go now.

Thanks for the conversation.


Hello!

Did you know the first president of Zimbabwe was named Banana?

lol

Good afternoon.
No, I didn't know that.
How funny!

lol  The president is the common title of most republic states.

Did you know that the president of Indonesia released 3 pop albums while in office?

No, didn't know that tidbit, but how interesting.

I could see Trump trying his hand at that!

Haha Yes.

The presidents guest house is larger than the white house.

That's kind of surprising.

Yes, it is.
Wonder why it's not larger?

Maybe it's to treat the guests better?

In 1805 the vice-president of the U.S. was decided on who was the runner up in the Presidential election.

Maybe.

I can not envision Trump and Hillary Working together at the White House, can you?

Good thing that was changed, they would have killed each other in the first 5 minutes.

lol

lol  It might have promoted a more team effort approach though...forcing them to work on issues together.

Who knows if that would work now though.

Do you watch Fox news?

Yes, I watch Fox and CNN just to sort out for myself who's lying and telling the truth.

Same here.

I try to spread it out.

Local news is the best for me personally.

Supposedly Fox news is watched more than CNN and MSNBC combined.

I believe it.

Cnn and MSNBC are frothing at the mouth every second spewing hate towards Trump.

It gets so old.

We get it, you hate him, get over it already and read the NEWS.

Yes.

I agree.

It seems like it's getting too ridiculous.

Fox news corporation had thought about making a channel that would run only the Simpsons.

Wonder how that would have worked out?

Probably pretty good, actually!

I didn't realize that Richard Nixon helped create FOX News Network.

Did you?

I didn;t know that.

I didn't even know they existed back then.

Me either, until recently.

On a different note, did you know that every president with a beard has been a Republican?

I didn't know that!

That's an interesting tidbit.

I didn't know that the red and blue colors for republicans and democrats wasn't consistently used until 200.

Yeah, that's probably when it started getting really divided and partisan when the colors started getting used.

I read somewhere that in 1957 President Truman visited Disneyland but refused to photographed on the Dumbo ride, because he didn't want to be associated with the Republicans.

How funny!

That's an interesting story for sure!

Funny stuff!

5 of the 9 current supreme court justices were appointed by Republican presidents.

That's almost an even split.

That's interesting.

I think Trump may get at least one more Supreme Court pick before he gets out of office.

The Notorious RBG isn't in that  great shape as of late.

No it's not.

I have to run.

It was nice chatting with you today.

I hope you the rest of your day is wonderful!


Hi, how are you?

Good and you?

Do you watch football and did you know there are different kinds of football?

I like to watch football,especially the playoffs.

Yes, I guess the name "football" is used for many sports around the world.

How about you?

I like football, american football that is too.

It's gotten to be very popular I think.

Back in the 1960's bowlers made more than players and now look at what players make!

The media really have changed the image of football.

The number of expensive stadiums around the country is astonishing.

Oh I agree with that.

The size of those stadiums is astonishing too.

ESPN won an emmy just for creating a yellow line on screen to show first down markers.

I find that line quite useful for following the game.

Seems like such a small thing, but I guess it was revolutionary.

I like it to but an emmy?

My point is that football is important to a lot of people and the media make it so and it's important to the media.

A mutual admiration society.

I think it's funny that the University of Iowa's locker room for visiting teams is  painted pink.

I wonder whether that has any effect.

I've heard about that too!

I think it might have a humorous effect.

The guys have to laugh about it.

I'd like to see the georgia tech-cumberland game from 1916.

It's the highest scoring game ever.

Georgia tech defeated cumberland 222-0!

I wonder if anyone bet on that game.
What was the spread?

Who knows!

I feel sorry for anyone that did bet on it!

I am thinking that cumberland had no defense whatsoever, not to mention offense.

They didn't score at all!

Cumberland is a small school and I think Tech was a powerhouse at the time.

Changing subjects, did you know that Apple had a line of clothing in the 80s?

That seems odd to me.

I didn't know that and it does seem odd.

I wonder why they don't sell them anymore.

I find it interesting to learn that north korea has a clothes line  but puts made in china on the labels.

I think it's illegal for US goods to be made in North Korea because of sanctions, so they spoof the source as China.

The store in Alabama that sells clothes, cameras, etc found in unclaimed baggage at airports sounds like an unusual venture.

I wonder whether they have to buy the stuff first.

Oh, that makes sense.

They probably do have to buy it first.

Everyone's got to make a profit don't you know.

Have you heard about people looking at collars to see if your clothes are tailored or not?

I guess the eye of an expert can see a lot in little details.

I suppose so.

Speaking of experts have you ever heard of Phil Collins?

He recorded the tarzan movie soundtrack in not only english, but italian, german, spanish, and french.

He has fans around the world, and is clearly a skill linguist.

Well, I enjoyed chatting!

Have a good day!

You are right.

Did you know that Steven Spielberg plays the clarinet in the jaws soundtrack?

Yes, I did.
Thanks!


Do you know much about politics?

I know some stuff.

Did yiu know ever republican president has had a beard?

Cool.

And since 1853 the president has either been a republican or a democrat

yeah that is quite true as I never hear of other presidents

Yeah exactly.

Do you know when both parties started using red and blue colors?

Yes that was not until late 2000s

Yeah pretty recent.

Did you hear of Truman not having his picture taken on the dumbo ride

Yes he did not want to be associated with the republicans in any way

Yeah.

Do you know who the wealthiest us presidents are?

That is Washington, JFK and Jefferson

Yeah, do you know what the first president of Zimbabwe is called?

Yes he was called President Banana

Yeah Did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?

I guess they get a lot of people there during the year

True, do you know who the VP used to be elected?

Yes that was the runner up that was bumped to that position

Yeah.

Did you know the president of Indonesia is a pop star?

Yes and he has released 3 albums so far

Yeah he must be good at that it seems

I guess so.
It was nice chatting with you

Same here, have a good one


hey there my friend do you drive cars?

I do drive a car.
Do you?

yes I have a jetta, do you ever go through the drive through?

I do.
Do you?

yes I do, did you hear the history of the drive through

I have not.
Do you know it?

ya, mcdonald's invented it actually, they made it for the soldiers in uniforms

Wow that was nice of them.

I wonder when the trunk came into existence?

ya I don't know, but it sounds like a fire hazard to have a wooden trunk on a car back in the day

Plus if you had a flame thrower on your car, it was a recipe for disaster!

or a recipe for fun, depends on your perspective haha!

I read a story in maxim years ago about that and they also had huge swords that would cut the carjackers legs off.

What would be the worse way to go?

haha well I think either way that sounds horrible, probably burning would be worse for me, what do you think

I think burning too.

I can still function with no legs but to lose all my nerve ending and have months of rehab would be awful.

yup, plus I have seen burn victims and their faces and skin always make me sad

Did you know NYC's area code is 212 because it is the easiet to dial.

Haha I did, yes 212 is the fastest number you can dial on a rotary phone!

Did you ever have a rotary phone?

haha I've played with one, I only have a cell phone right now, what about you

Me too.

I had a rotary growing up and it was the worst when you misdialed and had to start over or your finger slipped...

haha sounds horrible!
what do you think of fish?
I like to eat them

They are delicious smoked.
Nice chatting with you!


The world already has competitions for talent and achievement in all field.

True.

They have competitions from things like cars to even fish

Sure, Car came to global use in 20th century American is the largest using cars in the world.

Karl Benz sure made a revolution when he created the modern car in 1886

German are manufactured the first car in the world.

Some leading cars are produced by German companyies.

I agree, but it was ford with the assembly line that allowed for the Model T to be mass produced for consumers

Sure, In south-africa to equip your car with flame throwers to prevent carjacking.

Hmm I wonder how that would work?

A booby trap or a weapon for the driver?

Now days, electric cars are used to make eco-friendly and pollution free environment.

The Technology is improving very much.

Did you know drive throughs were first added by mcdonalds to accommodate exhausted soldiers

Its very interesting, All the technology are available used to make the cars.

Firstly they are think about safety and speed.

What do you think about self driving cars?

It make comfortable.

Today driver free automatic cars are available.

Some nation are testing it.

if its suitable there is no need for drivers.

I am all for self driving cars, but I still worry about the human element since some people will continue driving.

The AI will have a hard time predicting erratic human behavior

It's ok. Telephone is communication device and transmitted through cable.

Through the same cable we are using internet.

It is amazing how just a cable not even 3 inches in diameter allows for all these benefits

There are optic fibre cable which is used in the ocean floor make more comfortable for accessing the phone.

It is amazing how much technology for phones have come.

A single iphone has more computing power than the entire nuclear icbm deterrent of the US.

All the technology are available in single phone is the improvement of the technology.

Now days we are using more frequency mobile phone its very harmful to our environment.

How so?

All the social media are available in your phone and you accessing speed and download speed.

I see.
In any case, thank you for chatting.


Hi!
Are you interested in politics?

Hi I am somewhat.

DId you know Hillary Clinton was the leaders of young republicans once?

That's a surprise since she is a Democrat now!

It reminds me of how Donald Trump was once a Democrat.

I guess things and political views change over time.

They still play a game of baseball though every year

The baseball game is a great way to keep tension down.

Politics must be stressful, and a fun Republican-Democrat game is probably a relief compared to a congressional debate.

Yeah exactly, I guess that is why it has been going on for over 100 years now

I wonder what they did before then.

There hasn't been a president that wasn't a Republican or a Democrat for over 150 years, so the two sides have obviously been each other for longer than a century.

Yeah that is true.

Do you know who was the first senator to be arrested for civil disobedience?

I don't.
Who was it?

It was Weicker Jr and the protested the apartheid in 85.

Wow, I'd never heard the name before, but he had a good reason to protest.

I had expected something a lot pettier, but that's something I can appreciate.

Yes exactly me too.

Ayn Rand , the poster woman for the Tea Party was on social security and Medicare

I've read some of Ayn Rand's books.

She had some very extreme views.

I'm not sure she could even be classed as a Republican, despite being part of the Tea Party.

Yeah that is true.

Do you know who proposed the guaranteed minimum income?

I don't.
Was it a president or a congressman?

It was a president, a republican, Richard Nixon and he was the only one to do so

That's a surprise.

I'll bet the origin of the guaranteed minimum isn't something people talk about much, considering what happened with Nixon!

I guess not.

Did you know Wilson has a PhD, and the only president to do so?

I didn't know that.
What did he study for his PhD?

I have no idea actually.

In Guatemala relatives of a former president cannot run for that position

That would cause problems here, considering the Roosevelts, the Bushes, and the Clintons!


Have you heard of Marine Serre?

I only know a bit about Marine Serre.
What is your opinion of her?

Unless you are really into fashion you are unlikely to have heard of her.

I hadn't heard of her either.

But she is an up and coming designer.

Yah.

I know she has some nice spring/summer 2019 collection coming out.

The fabric used is very unique and though provoking, re-using old scuba suits as the fabric for full length dress.

Imagine that.

Interesting.

She seems to combine all different kinds of styles.

Like modern street style.

Are you sure you like modern street style?

You are not into the awesome pilgrim clothing where they wore black for special occasions?

Haha, I remember doing coloring sheets for Thanksgiving with Pilgrims that looked like that.

Don't forget the buckle shoes!

I remember drawing a turkey with my hand.

Those were the days.

Did you know that back then Apple had a clothing line?

Haha, right?

And I tried doing a turkey hand in my adult life and it didn't end up looking like a turkey.

hmmmm....what am I doing wrong?

That sounds cool about Apple, don't know if I'd wear it though.

Do you ever shop at thrift shops?

No, I'm too high class to shop there, but i do love the thrift shop song.

I'm a huge fan of music, especially soundtracks.

Haha, so you would not shop at a store that sells clothes found in unclaimed baggage?

Are you referring to the store in alabama?

Probably not.

Imagine buying those items and later finding out that the store got it through unconventional means therefore the original owner comes after you for the product.

I can see that being your worst nightmare!

Hahaha!

So you are high class huh?

Did you know that ficionados look for collar gaps on your clothes to tell if you get your clothes tailored or not?

Do you get your clothes tailored?

Yes.

I get my clothes tailored.

I have long legs, regular legging do not fit me properly.

It will always show my socks more than I would like.

Oh, but there are some pretty cool socks out there!

Sometimes I do jam out to music,  in a pair of shorts and funky socks.

What kind of soundtracks do you like?

I love the lion king.

I love greatest showman.

I love the jaws soundtrack where steven spielberg played the clarinet.

I like the Tarzan soundtrack.

Phil Colins recorded it in five languages.

I think I have heard at least three versions.

Oh, which three versions?

I think i only have the english version of that soundtrack.

French and Spanish.

There is also an Italian and German version.

French?
Are you a fluent speaker?
Daft punk is from France.

No, I am not a fluent speaker.

I just remember hearing the soundtrack in French.

Daft Punk is from France?

I did not know them.

I like them!

They wore trademark robot helmets while negotiating the Tron Legacy soundtrack over a pancake breakfast once.

ONE MORE TIME is their hit single.
I love that song.
Damn, I want some pancakes now as well.
I guess I will go to Denny's soon.

Haha!

Do it!

Blast One More Time on the way there.

I like that song, what is it called, Get Lucky?

Yes.

Get lucky is the song you should listen to before you go to the casino.

Do you gamble?

No, I don't.
Well, great talking to you!


Have you ever tried to sew yourself an outfit?

Maybe some clothes like jeans or a shirt?

Never I just buy them.
You?
I never knew apple had a clothing line!

I bought a sewing machine but haven't had time to use it yet.

I wonder what would happen if FaceBook make a clothing line?

That's a really great question.

I think it's interesting that rip curl makes clothes in North Korea, I didn't think that was allowed.

I didn't even know North Korea would be interested in making clothing for anyone but themselves.

I recently saw a documentary about traveling there.

Yeah it looks terrible there.

They have to say on the label that the clothes are actually made in China.

I can't wait to my my own clothing!

I originally bought the sewing machine to just embroider stuff.

I'm sure I won't be anything like designer Marine Serre, but I'll try.

Wow good luck!

Apparently pilgrim clothes were very bright!

Meant to type "make my own clothing."

If the pilgrims could make their own clothes so could we, right?

I remember my Grandmother sewed some...

Yes for sure.

Thats cool it runs in your family then.

There is a store in Alabama that sells stuff from unclaimed baggage!

I heard about that!

I wonder if they ever come across any designer stuff that's worth a lot of money?

I hear that designer Marine Serre makes some really unique fashion items.

Yeah her Spring/Summer 2019 show sounded like it was recieved quite well.

I really love her idea about what she's making right now.

Her clothing is supposed to be athletic but fashionable at the same time.

Very cool.

She is very idiosyncratic in her creativity.

Both body conscious and multi functional.

She's making such unique clothing that I've heard she's actually got evening gowns made from sports jerseys.

Awesome.

Definitely figured out how to move street style forward without disconnecting it from its roots.

I think she's taken the idea of recycling clothing to the next level.

It seems like she's dominating on the runway right now, and she's a newcomer!

True.

Serre stands out because she has the craftsmanship to make her fantasies a reality.

Yes, and speaking of fantasy, her outfits are so lovely and feminine while not being too out of control; one could wear her clothing out and not look  ridiculous.

Yeah good point.

I wonder what soundtrack she used for her fashion show?

One of the most popular soundtracks was from O'Brother where art thou.

That's a really great movie!

I've always loved the soundtrack from the old movie Legend!

Yeah it was good too.

Phil Collins Tarzan soundtrack was also epic.

It was in a ton of languages!

Nice talking with you have a great day!


I love clothes.

did you know that Pilgrim clothing was full of color ?

Wow.

did you know that An african tribe still wears victorian clothes

Cool.

I would like to see some clothes from Apple on day

It is dangerous to work for Bulletproof clothing mogul, miguel cabarello

I wonder why ?

Rip curl makes clothes in north korea yet the label says made in china

Cool.

Its because miguel cabarello shoots all his employees in order to test and enforce quality control on his wares.

That is scary.

Fashion and style aficionados look for collar gaps on your clothes to tell if you get your clothes tailored or not.

I wonder why.

The greeks literally made asbestos clothing and it was almost as valuable as gold!

Clothes that will kill you lol

There are some scary clothes stories.

A funny one is how People used to do their laundry in old faithful; they put their clothes in the geyser and it would erupt with clean clothes

That is funny.

Lets talk about music.

Steven spielberg played the clarinet in the jaws soundtrack.

Cool I loved Alicia keys song on the men in black soundtrack

That was a nice soundtrack.

Phil Collins speaks lots of languages.

he recorded the english, italian, german, spanish, and french versions of the tarzan soundtrack

How cool.

I never knew that Michael jackson helped write the soundtrack for sonic 3

I remember that game the music was nice.

Daft punk negotiated the tron legacy soundtrack over a pancake breakfast where they wore their trademark robot helmets

Yes and Rage against the machine's contribution to the godzilla soundtrack criticizes the film itself.

Do you like Football ?

The university of iowa's locker room for visiting football teams is completely painted pink

I wonder why ?

Snoop dogg wrote a fight song for his son's high school football team

in the 1960's one would make more bowling than playing football

That is like how The highest paid across all u.s. department of defense employees are three football coaches of the service branch teams

And Espn created that yellow line.


Did you know every president that has had a beard has been a republican?

That's weird.

I always think of very clean cut men when I think of Republicans or presidents, for that matter.

That said, the president of Indonesia has 3 pop albums, so, crazier things have happened.

Wow can you imagine Trump singing pop, he's not even one of the three wealthiest presidents.

Ha!

Yeah, it was shockingly two of the founding fathers!

And the rock star JFK, lol!

can you imagine if the rule from 1805 was still imposed.

Trump and Hillary what a reality show.

Right?

Maybe Hillary would let him stay in the guest house.

It's actually bigger than the main house, anyway.

I'm sure he would insist, lol!

I didn't know that fox owed IGN, did you?

No.

I try not to pay attention to Fox, other than Bobs Burgers an The Simpsons.

Did you know they toyed with the idea of having a station that only played the Simpsons?

Wow was that after they tried to sue them for parodying it's famous anti-democratic party agenda?

I'm not sure, but I'm not surprised by that information since it was created by a Republican media strategist, Richard Ailes, and Nixon.

Right the two Richards, lol!

It still amazes me that Fox is watched more than cnn and msnbc combined.

That is pretty crazy, especially for a company under the same umbrella as a gaming website, IGN.

They broadcast primarily from a studio at 1211 avenue in new York city.

Even though they're based in New York, they still broadcast to 86 countries and overseas territories.

Still i like MSNBC much better.

Did you know that the republican party is referred to as the GOP?

I did.

Did you know that the political parties weren't grouped into red or blue before 2000?

I heard that seems like its been around a lot longer.

Yeah and Truman would ride the dumbo ride for fear of supporting the republicans..

I can't believe there hasn't been a US president that wasn't a Democrat or Republican since 1853.

Me either, and the last time there was a republican elected with out a bush or nixon on the ticket was 1928. i assume there excluding trump.

I wonder if Trump would've gotten along with the first president of Zimbabwe, he was called President Banana.

Imagine what people would come up with for nicknames of American politicians!

Too Funny!!

The president is a common title for head of state in most republics.

Nice chatting with you too.


Hello did you know the presidents guest house is bigger than the white house?

wow I didn't know that, have you been to the3 white house to confirm?

that sounds fishy haha

No I havent.
Just a fun fact that I read recently.

ah ok haha, also weird is that trump is not one of the richest presidents of the usa

Really?

I read somewhere that he is the wealthiest president the us has had.

I know right that was what I would have thought, the top 3 are apparently washington, jefferson, and JFK

I just looked it up on google it says that trump is the wealthiest by far 3700 mil,  second is washington 580 mil, 3rd is jefferson 234 mil

wow ok so I'll take your word for it then, did you know that the president of Zimbabwe's name is President Banana?

Googles word.

I trust it lol I did know that,  its an usual last name for sure.

haha well do you ever shop at target?

Oh yeah,  love target.
How about you?

ya I like it, I used to only buy on amazon but now target will price match amazon

Oh thats good,  then you can get it right away.

I learned that Vermont was the only state to not have a target,  but I think they are getting one soon.

I saw it on the news or something.

ah nice well I wont move there, also they dont carry tobacco which is interesting

That is interesting.
I wonder why.

ya I don't know, I guess they stopped back in 1996

Thats probably a good thing.

ya I don't mind it, sad though a state senator has to work at target just to get by

That is weird.

well gotta do what you gotta do.

did you know a man sold the eiffel tower twice?

that is crazy

ya thats a guy with a death wish!

its nice to know though that norway donated a billion dollars to save the rainforest though

He is a really good con artist if he can do that lol

oh ya for sure, scary that wikileaks leaked the gov's plans to shut down wikileaks themselves, that is really wild!


I need to run to Target later - did you know that Target is over 100 years old?

hi how are you?
Really?
that seems too old.
where did it start?

It started as Goodfellow Dry Goods back in 1902 in Minneapolis!

oh, ok. that makes sense.

i didnt hear the name target until maybe 20 years ago.

i guess they have grown from 1902 then.

Yes - did you know they haven't sold any tobacco product since 1996?

i guess that is a matter of principle because there is a lot of money in cigarettes.

Yes for sure.

Its funny they have a store in every state but Vermont!

isnt that where bernie sanders is from?
hm.
suspicious coincidence!
LOL

For sure.

I just learned that Best Buy and Target will price-match amazon - I need to do that moree.

i have never tried that, but I should.
that is a good idea.

Did you know that there is a state senator who also works at Target just to have enough money to live on?

that is amazing.

why target?

i would think that there are other jobs out there that pay better.

I am not sure.

Maybe selling herbal supplements?

Did you know that 80% of them do not actually contain the advertised herbs?

I am not surprised.

there is no regulation of that stuff.

it could contain dog food for all we know.

No doubt - the government should monitor it - I bet Norway does - their government actually donated 1 billion to help save the rainforest

they did a great thing there.

they make money off oil in the north sea.

they want to help save the planet.

Yes.

And they are not scam artists like the French guy who managed to sell the Eiffel Tower twice!!!

I would like to meet that guy!

Maybe he could help sell all that govt land in nevada.

Yes!

86% of the land is owned by the government!

Crazy

What are they doing there?
Secret experiments?
LOL Anyway, great chat!

Yes See you later!


Wow 12 years for flying a drone that a lot of time

Definitely.

Do you know how the Target corporation started?

Kind of.

I know its the eighth-largest department store retailer in the United States,

Yeah, well a version of it was founded in 1902 when it had a different name.

I didn't realize its origins went back so far.

What else do you know about drones?

Not much.

I now that the Department of Homeland Security dont like them very much.

Yes, apparently they are a problem for Border Patrol along the Mexico-USA border because they are difficult to detect

That is because of the relentless cat-and-mouse game between criminals and Border Patrol agents

Radar has a hard time locating the drones flown low to the ground.

And a lot of drones cross the border in very rural areas with natural borders like mountains or rivers.

I wonder if the Ultralight Aircraft Detection could help

I am not sure I really understand the difference between the manned ultralight flights and drones.

Do you?

Nope.

It is ironic how wikileaks published the government's plans to destroy wikileaks

I suppose so, but that is what Wikileaks does, they leak secret information.

True.

I did not know that Best buy and target will price match amazon.

I could have saves lots of money

Yes but I heard that herbal supplements sold at stores like Target generally don't contain any of the herb they advertise.

So like if it said it contained mint, there would actually be no mint.

Wow.
Well at least they dont carry tobacco

True.

But they did sell tobacco up until 1996.

yes but its been 23 years without selling it.

That would saves lots of lives

Yes, I agree.

Did you know Vermont is the only state in the US to not have a Target store?

I wonder why?

Not sure but I know that state senator have to work there to make ends meet

Do you think state senator's don't make enough money?

I would think they would.

In any case, maybe Vermont will have a Target store someday.

I did not know they been around since 1902.

Good night


hi, do you know much about world presidents?

I know a little bit, I heard that the president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office!

That is quite something.

do you know who the wealthies us presidents are?

JFK, Washington, and Jefferson I believe.

It's hard to imagine that Trump isn't even in the top 3.

Yeah I know but I guess we have to take inflation in consideration

I guess so, did you know that the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana?

I wonder where he got that name?

Yeah I wonder if maybe that actually means something in their langue

I'm not sure.

Did you know that until 1805, the runner up in a presidential election automatically became the VP?

Can you imagine Hillary being in office with Trump now?

No I cannot imagine that at all actually.

did you know the guest house is larger than the white house?

That has to be pretty big, because the White House is huge!

Yes and they must get a lot of guests so si guess they need it

I heard that the government owns 86% of the land in Nevada.

That's pretty crazy!

I know and I wonder what they do with all that land though

I'm not sure.

I know there's a few military bases out there, and Area 51, maybe there's another 50 areas there too.

So maybe for that.
Do you ever shop at target?

I do sometimes.

Did you know that they will price match with Amazon?

That is cool.

There is only one state that does not have Target and that is vermont

I wonder why?

I figured it would be Arkansas because that's where Wal-Mart was founded.

I do not know why though.

Senators apparently have to work at atarget to make ends meet

I don't understand that.

I thought they made good money.

I've never noticed that Target doesn't carry tobacco products.

I thought so too.

I wonder why they do not sell tobacco though?

I guess it keeps their clean image.

Maybe could be that.
Nice chatting with you.


Hello, do you watch Netflix?

I watch Netlfix all of the time actually.

Nice.

It account for 33% of all bandwidth across north america in the morning

Wow!

I knew is was used a lot but not that much.

I did know that Netflix and YouTube combined make up half of peak traffic in North America.

That is some serious traffic to those sites.

Yeah they have both become really big.

Netflix stills spends more on postage than bandwidth though, about 20 times more

I'm shocked that they still send out that many DVD's.

I dropped that part of the service years ago and  I don't know anyone else that still has it.

Yeah exactly, who knows what they are shipping.

DO you know how Netflix was invented, or why?

I do not.
Do you?

Yeah the guy who invented it was not happy that he has to pay a VHS late fee and it is all history from there

It was certainly a fantastic idea.

Do you know that Blockbuster had a chance to own Netflix?

Yeah and they passed on that for just $50 million.

They could have made billions now

What a horrible business decision that was.

Now they only have one store left.

A bit off topic but do you use the internet a lot?

I am online all of the time in some way.

I use it all the time actually.

Do you know what the hamburger button is?

I do not.
What is it?

It is the three horizontal line menus on different apps

Oh wow, I didn't know there was a name for that.

Did you know that you can get internet service on Mount Everest?

Wow we have reached that far now.

A copy of the Internet is saved in the Library of Alexandria

Whoa.

How is that possible?

I can't imagine how much storage space that would take.

Yeah exactly.

Did you know who can develop addiction from clicking too much on the internet?

I did not but I have certainly gone down the internet wormhole myself and not realized that hours have passed so I can see that.

Yeah exactly, it is easy to get distracted.

Nice chatting with you


Hi there, do you watch Netflix?

I used to subscribe to them but not anymore.

I do watch some of their productions.

It's like Blockbuster, it's sort of a gone thing for me.

Yeah, speaking of Blockbuster, too bad that they passed on the chance to buy Netflix back then

Yeah I bet they would like that back.

There is only one Blockbuster left in Bend, OR.

People from all over have their picture taken in front of it.

Cool, did not know that.

Did you know Netflix account for 33% of bandwidth in north america?

Wow, that's a lot.

I believe it since YouTube and Netflix combined make up half of peak internet traffic in North America.

THat is insane.

Still Netflix despite all that bandwidth spends more on postage

I guess some people are reluctant to stream.

I think it's funny that the founder of Netflix was inspired to create it due to a late fee.

Yeah go figure, and look at them now a $2 billion company

Yep.

Blockbuster just didn't seem to roll with the times like Redbox and Netflix.

Yup.

Do you know what the hamburger button is?

Yeah, those 3 little lines icon.

I'm sad to learn that Gene Wilder died in 2016.

I loved him in Blazing Saddles among other movies.

I am not sure if I know him.

And apparently you can develop addiction by clicking too much  on the internet

If that's the case, I must be an addict.

Things have advanced so quickly.

It wasn't that long ago that New Yorkers were dialing 212 for their area code on a rotary phone.

Yeah that is true.

Do you know why that area code stuck with NY?

It was easier to dial on a rotary phone.

Now, an iPhone has more computational power than that of the US nuclear ICBM deterrent.

Scary...

Wowo, yeah that is.

When you buy online, do you ever read the terms and conditions?

Very, very rarely.
I'm one of the 93% that doesn't.

Yeah me too.

And apparently there is 3g service in Everest now

I wonder why they don't have 4g?

Maybe it is making its there up there.
Nice chat


I did not know mcdonalds added drive-thru to accommodate soldiers wearing their fatigues, could not get out of the car

Do you think car is useful to everyone?

sure for the most part.

The trunk is called that because they used to have real wooden trunks on the back of the cars

A trunk, also known as a travel trunk, is a large cuboid container designed to hold clothes and other personal belongings.

interesting, the car brand Cadillac was named after explorer antoine de la mothe cadillac, the founder of Detroit

Exacerbating sales performance for the Cadillac brand was a policy, reflective of the times, which discouraged sales to African Americans.

its legal in south-africa to have flame throwers on your car to prevent carjacking

Statistically your chances of being a carjacking victim are very slim, and prevention actions can reduce the risk even more.

i did not know myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for 75 million

MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe met with Facebook cofounder Mark Zuckerberg and the pair talked merger.

Eventually Mark asked Chris if MySpace wanted to buy Facebook for $75 million

Mark suffers from red-green color blindness which is why facebook is mostly blue

Yes, according to The New Yorker, Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind, which means the color he can see best is blue.

That also happens to be the color that dominates the Facebook website and mobile app.

"Blue is the richest color for me," he told the magazine

Iceland is using facebook to rewrite their constitution allowing the public to help

It's interesting, Iceland's existing constitution dates back to when it gained independence from Denmark in 1944

I wonder why burger king wanted people to unfriend others and even offered a free whopper for doing it

Okay, Burger King shut down Whopper Sacrifice, a Facebook application that offered users a free burger if they dropped 10 Facebook friends, after ... new versions of the campaign on any other social networking site.

I would not have guessed Linkin park's hybrid theory would be the best selling album of the 21st century

It is the best-selling debut album of the 21st century, with over 30 million copies sold worldwide.

-Only four albums released in the 21st century have sold more copies: Eminem's The Marshall Mathers LP, The Beatles'1, Adele's 21, and Eminem's The Eminem Show.

the dark side of the moon was still one of the best-selling albums of 2014 even though it was released over 40 years ago

Yes, It's true.

good for the two twins who released a rap album at 100 years old

Yes, It's interesting.
Thank you very much for your details.

thank you too

Have a nice day.


Do you have a Facebook account by any chance?

I do, I have had one for about 10 years now, seems like forever.

how about you?

I do and for a long time also.

Did you know that you have to be 13 to set up an account?

I did not know until recently that there is an age restriction.

i had no idea.

I know way back you needed a @harvard.edu email to make an account, then that changed to just .edu email, and now its open to everyone

I did know that it started at Harvard from the movie The Social Network.

Were you aware that MySpace could have purchased Facebook?

for only $75 million too!

Tom must be kicking himself right now for not buying it when they had the chance

Yes it was such a horrible business decision.

It happened in 2005 also which I feel had to have been very close to the rise of Facebook and the decline of MySpace.

thats around when everyone in high school started to make facebooks and instead of myspaces.

its almost funny the timing of it

It is.

Do you know why their color scheme is blue?

Mark is partially color blind.

I always wondered why it was like that.

Blue just seems to work though, its a nice color on the eyes

Yes he is red-green colorblind.

I also agree that the blue color scheme is very pleasant so I am glad that had to go with that.

imagine if it were all red?

that would just look awful after looking at it for long periods of time

I agree.

Did you know that Iceland is rewriting their constitution through Facebook by taking public suggestions?

That seems a like a bad idea.

how are they going to filter out the trolls?

so many people go on facebook just to be mean and trolly, they better have some sort of plan or else it is going to be a huge disaster

I absolutely agree.

It's hard for me to even go through comment sections.

So many people will not take it seriously.

my faith in humanity was lost when Linkin Park's hybrid theory was the best selling album of the 21st century

What?!

That's crazy!

I would have thought it would be something with much more staying power like The Beatles.

right??

or even some sort of pop album by one of the more popular ppop artists of the time.

i am so surprised by that

Yes like Michael Jackson would not surprise me either.

Interestingly, Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd was still one of the best selling albums in 2014.

which is very shocking to me.

I know its good and still holds up, but best selling?

Apparently every new generation since discovers it and loves it.


hey did you know that myspace actually turned down buying facebook back in 2005?

No, not until now.

I wish it had.

I miss the old days before Facebook became a monolith.

ya it is scary how much info they have on you now, I didn't know that the like button is illegal in one german state, I wonder why that is

Probably related to that study which I vaguely recall about neo-nazism growing several hundred percent in some German communities because of facebook's algorithms promoting alt right content.

ah interesting that could be, also weird on the reason that facebook is mostly blue on the website, did you hear about why that is?

I didn't realize until now that Zuckerberg was colorblind.

ya I would have never guessed that, did you do the burger king promotion to get a free whopper?

I can tell you I would easily hvae done that back in the day

I've never been on Facebook -- just Twitter.

I'd have gladly done it though.

ah, ya I have facebook but I don't use it I really just use it for birthdays, do you listen to linkin park?

I just listened to Hybrid Theory in full on YouTube a couple of days ago.

I love them.

Do you?

ya I don't mind them, I was shocked to find out hybrid theory is the best selling record so far in the 21st century though, that's crazy

I didn't know it either.

But I like them because they're one of those bands in the first years of the century that were a hangover from the 90s grunge era.

ya you're right, I want to listen to the rap album by the two 100 year old japanese twins, did you hear about that?

I never heard about it until now.

I'll bet it's a hoot.

I should Google and find out more about it.

ya, apparently when they both tured 100 they made the album and released it in 1992, I'm sure its super weird haha

I'm happy to know Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" is still so popular after all these years.

I love them.

Did you ever do the thing where you sync it with Wizard of Oz?

ya I love pink floyed, I never did that myself but I could see it being good haha, what is your favorite album?

I think that their animals album is highly underrated

I like Animals too.

It strikes me as a test-run for The Wall in terms of the style, if not the message.

But I especially love the early stuff with Syd Barrett, and Final Cut because it's the last thing Waters did.

ah ya, they were best when they were all together, I never listend to NWA at all but it's impressive their one album got to platinum without any airplay support

I should check it out because it was such a formative influence.

Welp, nice talking to you!

It's been a pleasure, and yeah make sure to check out their record it was called straight outta compton.


Hi, how are you doing tonight?

I am doing good how are you doing?

I'm great!

Do you like cars?

Many people are driving them these days.

Yes I do like cars.

They are really poplular.

The Model T was the first car assessible to the masses.

The Model T. Came out so long ago.
1908.
It had all the part, too.
Engine, wheels, the works!

Its funny how old cars had wooden trunks on the back.

I remember seeing pictures of that!

I wonder how secure they were.

In England, they call them things the "boot."

I wonder why.

It don't look like no boot to me.

Not too sure.

Its funny how different words mean different things in different places.

But with things like Facebook we can have personal connections with people all around the world

I don't like the invention of Facebook.

I think that there need to be laws about everything about Facebook.

Yeah I agree.

The facebook like button is illegal in the german state of schleswigholstein

The Germans know something that we don't.

In fact, I bet the Germans are behind this whole thing.

Maybe we should imitate them.

What about Iceland?

Do you think they're being smart about Facebook?

I dont know I mean letting the public make suggestions and altercations is a pretty big move..

Iceland's FB page could get hacked, and suddenly everyone would be in favor of handguns and free ice cream.

That is true.. Burger King did a promotion where if you unfriended 10 people you got a free whopper

I would write a program to friend and unfriend people, then collect the burgers and feed the homeless.

Problem solved!

That is a good idea.. You would think with facebook being so profitable it would be more into helping the homeless

Especially in cities like SF.

But Facebook provides a different sort of home for us.

One that is blue and filled with like buttons.

That is true..

I liked myspace personally but I also like Old records

Myspace.

Ancient history in Internet terms.

Oh, if they had bought Facebook, how the world might be different today.

Yea it would be way different

Have you heard the album Hybrid Theory?
I never have.
It's the best seller of the century.

Yeah I am big fan of Linkin Park.

Did you know that despite being released over 40 years ago the dark side of the moon was still one of the best selling albums of 2014

Dark Side is IT!
Try it with the Wizard of Oz.
It is supposed to be a trip.

I don't think I have heard of that.

You start the album Dark Side at a certain point in the film.

Turn down the movie.

Dark Side is almost a sound track.

Thats pretty cool.

NWAs straight outta compton was the first album to reach platinum status without the support of airplay or a major tour

They had the attitude!
Anyhow, thanks for the chat!
It was all that!

yep you too have a good day

Sayonara, as they say in some parts of the world.

lol I know the term dont where it comes from though lol

It comes from a small country in Asia.

thats interesting

It is.There are many things in this world, man.

Many things.

yep


Are you a fan of Celine Dion?

Not really.

She is talented performer, no doubt, but I can only handle so much of her at one time.

You?

I agree, and I think it's interesting how she's best-known for "My Heart Will Go On."

I guess some of her fans on Twitter were coming up with names for her mixtape

Even after 40 years, I would rather listen to the Dark SIde of the Moon than to Dion.

It was still one of the top albums in 2014... Timeless!

Or Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park.

That album is one of the best selling of this century for a reason

Yup.

I wouldn't mind hearing Celine Dion try to make a rap album, but I don't think she would even be as good as those Japanese twins that released their first  rap album at 100 yrs old.

That's one way to celebrate making it a century!

They were alive during both the Word Wars and could have rapped about it

I wonder if their album was a rip-off of NWAs "Straight Outta Compton?"

I've never listened to that album, but enough people did that it went platinum without airplay or a tour to boost its listeners.

It's the first to do that

Impressive!
I wonder if it comes in vinyl?
I miss my old 33rpm record player...

It might since that seems to be making a comeback.

I'm glad we've moved on from audio cassettes though

Mine are all stretched out.

Eating Whoppers makes me giddy.

I earned a free one through a Burger King promotion by unfriending 10 people on Facebook.

Harder than you might think.

Especially for me, since I had to first find 10 friends…

Was it that long ago that they did the promotion?

I can't imagine how many people were on Facebook back in 2006 when the age was lowered to 13

Not me.

I avoid Facebook as much as possible.

I might even move to the German state of Schleswigholstein, where the FB "Like" button is illegal!

I don't mind it as much.

At first the ads were annoying, but I guess that's how they make most of their revenue.

I'm trying to remember if MySpace had ads

I will ask my dog.

He was the only member of my family that had a Myspace page.

Can you believe MS had a chance to buy FB and balked?

Now MS is history and FB is big brother.

$75 million might have seemed overpriced at the time, but by 2012, Facebook was worth $04 billion

Makes me sad.

Iceland is rewriting their constitution using Facebook so that the public can weigh in on it.

It will be interesting if it is actually helpful, or just a frpe zone..

At least the people are getting a say, and it's less time consuming than other options.

It's interesting how Facebook has changed the way we live

Yeah, but it feeds the addiction to clicking that we all have.

FB is mostly blue because Zuckerberg is colorblind.

Imagine if he had been totally blind...

He would have hired someone else to do all the work for him.

Or someone else would have created a different social network.

Who knows?

It's hard to really know "what if?

What if I hadn't asked that question?

What if you weren't such a great sport?

What if I wasn't ending this text session?


Hello, do you travel much?

Hello, yes as much as I can.
Have you ever been to Japan?

I have but fortunately I did not travel by car because they highways are all tolled lots of money to pay

Yes I heard it will cost you $300 to cross the country in a car so good decision on your behalf

Yeah thanks, I agree.

I would like to ride on the 160 mph bus that the Dutch are making though

Oh that sounds amazing.

In Mackinac Island they have banned motorized vehicles now

Nice, that sounds pretty peaceful except for the horses and the carriages I guess

Yup it sure does.

In Iceland there is no rail so people have to figure other ways of transport

Yeah they have to travel by plane if they do not have a car

Yeah got to figure out something I guess.

Do you know who was the first king to travel the world?

I think it was the king of Hawaii, King Kalakaua, if I am not mistaken

Yes that was him.
Do you watch much tv?

I sure do.

I like to watch shows like Simpsons and That 70s Show, and you?

Nice, I love SImpsons too.

Did you know Bart did not appear in one episode?

Yeah and the interesting thing is that he was not even mentioned in it at all

Yeah strange.

The 70s Show flopped in the UK because they put it out there verbatim

Well different country, different humor.

Did you ever watch Pokemon?

I watch some of them.

There are apparently 750 episode out now

Yeah they have been on air for 16 years now so that makes sense

Yeah exactly, they are everywhere now too, video games and such

Especially with Pokemon go, they have taken over


Hello!

Know any interesting facts about phones?

Not a whole lot.

I live in a wireless dead zone, so I rely mainly on a landline.

How about you?

Ahh...I see.
Do you remember the old rotary phones?

Sure do, LOL.
I grew up with one in my house.

Me too with the spiral cords!

New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone!

Yeah, I think they assigned all the low number area codes to the largest cities.

I never knew that until tonight.

They say that it's impossible to seperate two phonebooks that have their pages overlapped together.

I'm going to have to try that.

Seems like it would be a lot of work just to overlap all the pages.

lol  Did you know that an iphone had more computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent?

Crazy!

Yeah, I think the computer systems for controlling a lot of that old Cold War stuff must've been pretty primitive.

I agree.
Do you use the internet a lot?

Definitely.

I'm a freelance writer, so it's my main research tool and where I store my drafts as well.

How about you?

It seems like I'm always connected while I'm awake.

Do you know what a hamburger button is?

Yeah,  that little menu icon with the parallel lines LOL.

I never knew that was the name for it though.

Me neither!

lol  There is 3g cell service and internet at the peak of Mt.

Everest.

I wonder how many climbers have taken a selfie and posted it from the top?

lol

Yeah, I wonder how that works.
I guess satellite uplinks?

That' what I would guess.
Do you buy much online?

Yeah, I live in a rural area and it's a long drive to town.

Do you?

I do buy a lot online.

Only 7% of people who buy online read the full terms.

I've been guilty of that a few times.

I'm guilty of it most of the time.

I don't think TOS or EULAs should be binding when the people who write them know nobody actually reads them.

True!
I have to get running.
Thanks for chatting!
Have a good night!

Nice talking to you.


Do you watch much television?

No I can't say that I do.

I don't have cable but I watch The Simpsons sometimes with my friends at their house, what about you

I like the simpsons, apparently there is one episode where bart isnt mentioned or in it

Yeah I want to see that episode, I also want to see the episode where South Park makes fun of Family Guy, and apparently The Simpsons Creator sent them flowers afterwards, that sounds interesting

Yea that was an awesome episode.
I can see the love there!
Do you watch pokemon much?

I have watched it from time to time.

I think there are over 800 episodes now aren't there?

about 750, I think I watched that many as a kid for sure lol

I only watch The Originals when I was a kid, I'll never be able to catch up AKA "catch em all" haha

for sure!
did you ever watch thomas the train

Yes I've seen that show.

I watched it a lot as a kid, I think George Carlin did narration on it isn't that right?

I think so!

and ringo starr did some and alec baldwin.

I would be interested to watch again

Yes I agree!

they each did about 52 episodes I so there's a lot to watch LOL

wow that is so many!
do you like to travel at all?

Yes I do like to travel.

I just got back from Florida actually, what about you

Nice me too, just booked a flight to brazil.

I want to go to iceland next

I heard that Iceland does not have public rail, and so you have to take flights to hop from City to City, hopefully you can do that that sounds annoying to me

true, i hate flying more than I have to.

Apparently in michigan there is a place that has banned motorized vehicles

Yep I'm from Michigan and actually I have been to that Island.

It's called Mackinac Island and the whole island smells like horses, unfortunately I'm allergic to horses LOL

lol!

i wonder if people are in shape and healthy from walking also

Yep I could see that, cuz yeah there is no Uber haha.

Did you hear about the first king to travel around the world?

ha that is true, who was the king?


Hi, how are you today?
Do you like to use the Internet?

I'm good.

I love using the internet.

It's pretty amazing how it links devices worldwide.

We have the chance to communicate with so many people.

Yet the Internet can become an addiction for some of us.

Yeah, it's not always fun and games.

Did you hear about the false missile alert in Hawaii, for example?

Yes, that alert really scared people.

The gov't should have sent out another message to cancel the alert.

I guess we're all doomed if the alert system doesn't work.

I'm not even surprised the government didn't send out a message to cancel the alert.

Some governments have a track record of shady activity, like trying to take down Wikileaks for example.

Wikileaks is small and nimble.

The government might not like it, but Wikileaks probably has changed people's opinion of gov't.

I think it's made people more averse to the idea of having a powerful government.

You know, government employees in the US can't be prosecuted for Geneva Convention violations.

That's a slippery slope right there.

Immune to prosecution?

They'll do the bidding of their superiors without fear of consequence.

Only bad can come of that.

I see governments as a double-edged sword.

While they're formed with a positive purpose, if the wrong people get political power it can cause some serious havoc.

People want someone in charge.

They can't stand anarchy.

Some gov'ts try.

Norway donated money to help the rainforests.

It's a start.

That's a lot of money.

More than any regular person could ever come up with.

I guess that's one of the perks that governments have.

Norway has oil.

The US gov't owns 86% of the land in Nevada.

I wonder what that land would be worth if sold today.

I bet it would be worth a lot.

I wonder what the government uses that land for, aside from military institutions of course.

That's almost a whole state!

They do their secret experiments on alien technology.

Or perhaps they just have massive raves in the desert.

LOL

Haha, I doubt it.

I bet the panic in Hawaii when the missile alert went off could be comparable to a rave.

People put far too much trust in shiny information that they get on their phones and the Internet.

I figure that people would be happier if they shut things off for a day or two a week.

Agreed.

I think it would be better for everyone if they would put there phones down.

Not just the phone owners, either.

More children would get water from Unicef if people used their phones less.

It certainly does create awareness of water needs and personal phone use.

I hope that UNICEF succeeds.

I hope so too.

Do you think people in remote locations that need water have internet access?

It's not hard to give them access through phone technology.

It might be slow internet, but good enough for messages.

I would hope both would be available.

Anyway, thanks for the chat!


Telephone is a device which connect two or more people to have conversation.

That is great, do you have one?

Yes.

The telephone have microphone to speak and earphone which reproduce the voice in the distant location.

Yes,  I use it sometimes,  I am really used to texting nowadays

Nowadays, people are using mobile phone for comfortable purpose and mobile internet connectivity also.

Some government office and Private office using Digital telephone.

Yeah some people even have video phones too.

Its amazing how many ways we can connect with people and it started with the telephone.

Yes.

We can contact any person from different part of the world, which is possible through Telephone.

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented it.

I learned that dolphins also communicate with a sort of telephone,  they also seem to know who they are talking to.

It is very interesting to know.

Development of telephone result in development of internet also.

We use broadband width through the telephone lines only.

Did you know that there is no correlation between cell phone service and bars of service?

I can't understand it.

There is no connection between cell service and those "bars"

No.

Both are leads to addiction and affect the health.

what?

Continuous use of internet leads to addiction, which affect  your eyes and brain very much.

Oh ok thats good to know.

I was saying that those "bars" that we always refer to at the top of your cell phone has no relation to cell service isnt that funny.

Yes, It's true.

Oh ok thats cool,  I actually didnt know that,  which is why I thought it was funny

Email is the communication service which is available in internet.

It reduces the usage of postal service now days.

Oh thats great,  did you used to mail a lot of letters?

I only really used mail for bills,  but now I can pay everything online pretty much lol

Online shopping is available today with the help of  internet, we can purchase any product from any countries.

It is very amazing.

Yes,  I definitely use the online shopping very often lol Hey thanks for chatting,  have a good night.


Bezos is the founder of Amazon.

com,  he flies very often in his own jet.

It must be nice having your own jet.

It makes sense he has one though, because there has been more than 20 locations executives had toured for their second headquarters.

Yes, with  more than a dozen flights in a month, geez, that would be so cool!

Yes doing that he made multiple trips to Boston, Dallas, Miami, the D.C. area and New York City.

Definitely staying busy with those flights.

He owns a home in Beverly Hills, I don't see why not, he has more than enough money, it looks like he is the richest guy on Earth.

Yes I believe he is.

His Audible division is based in Newark, maybe he'll by a home there just to have a place to sleep because he can.

Yes, he started Amazon in 1994, what a lucky idea!

now, he is based in Seattle, Washington.

But I think that Alibaba Group is richer than Amazon, it most be, it serves Asia and all the rest of the world.

Yes, I've heard the Alibaba is larger than Amazon in terms of total sales.

Is curious, last night I was investigating something on Alibaba, the problem is that takes almost a month to send you something.

Amazon is a lot faster.

I heard they are slower in terms of the shipping, unlike Amazon.

That is also another reason Amazon is looking for its second headquarters.

To be faster.

Yes, besides Amazon will arrive to the point that all the packing will be done for AI.

Do you like to travel?

Yes I do!

I like to travel by air, but it is actually 10% slower than it was back in the 1960's!

Really?

I would like to travel to Japan, but it seems that they have a lot of tolls, and is pretty expensive to travel across it!

Yes, it would be expensive!

I guess watching something about Japan on TV would be a little cheaper.

Hahahah, yes, do you like to watch the Simpsons?

in one episode, nobody knows anything about Bart.

I would like to watch it.

I do like the Simpsons!

That sounds like a conspiracy haha.

A fun little fact is Daniel Radcliffe voiced a Twilight parody on the Simpsons!

And Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin doing the Thomas the Tank Engine's voice!

cool!

I would love to be there and watch them.

Yes that would be neat!

Another funny thing about Homer is that he held 188 different jobs in the first 400 episodes.

hahahahaah, yes, he is always pretty busy!

by the way, The Simpsons crew sent flowers to the Family guy's last episode, so cool!

Haha I heard about that!
Haven't watched that one yet!

Me either.

Well, last I knew, Amazon is not going to pay taxes this year, would be this true?

I also heard that is true!
Well have a good day!

You too!
thank you!

No problem!


Hello.
Do you do much traveling?

I do, I love to travel.

Though I don't think I could do that bus in the Netherlands designed to travel 160 mph.

I couldn't even imagine going that fast in a bus.

It would be so scary.

I'll stick with Mackinac Island where it is all horses or bikes.

Oh yeah, that's more my speed!

I can't believe that's been going on in Michigan for over one hundred years!

That's really neat though.

It shows respect for tradition instead of just trying to make everything bigger and faster like with some mass transit systems.

Iceland also doesn't have a public rail service.

I could see why they wouldn't need one.

They have quite a few flights between most towns and travel that way.

I don't think most of them have cars either.

Could you imagine living in Japan where all of the highways are tolls?

It's getting to be like that in most of North America, practically.

If it means that all the roads are well maintained then I'm all for it.

Some of the roads around here get just gnarly by the time the winter is over.

It could be a good way to raise revenue.

That's true, but it costs $300 in tolls just to cross Japan and Japan is much smaller in comparison.

It could make traveling pretty expensive.

It really could.

I would probably start living vicariously through those travel shows that are all over netflix and prime.

I already do that!

I'm a huge fan of Amazon.

I can't believe it's been around for over twenty years now.

That does seem just crazy.

I remember back in college being able to order just books on amazon.

Now I can get just about anything delivered to my house.

In just a matter of a couple of hours!

Did you know IMDB has owned Amazon.com since 1998?

Huh that actually explains one the prime movie features.

If you click down when you are watching a movie it will give you the IMBD profile of everyone in that particular scene.

All about that synergy!

Amazon also has a brand called AmazonBasics that sells knock off versions of products like light bulbs.

That is pretty neat.

I like off brand stuff.

It is always just as good and about half the cost.

I wonder if that accounts for a lot of their new sunday deliveries.

I can't believe they got a contract with the USPS to deliver on Sundays!

Hopefully, they're getting paid well, but at least it created jobs.

It seems liek amazon is doing a really good job of that.

Particularly in their warehouses.

The workers there not only get a job but stay super healthy with all the walking they do.

I'm not sure if they're paid very well to walk 10 miles a day, but maybe a lot of people enjoy it.

You could eat practically whatever you want with that lifestyle!

You'd need to!

Totally.

I guess they could use their prime whole foods discount for some good food.

Well it has been nice chatting with you.

Have a good evening.

You too!


do you like cars?

I love cars.

Did you know in Ohio is illegal to warm them up?

Too bad for them I guess.

Do you know who invented the drive thru?

I have never thought of that, was it a restaurant?

Yes it was McDonald's back in 1975

Oh wow and now so many businesses use it and is a great source of income

True and they invented it because soldiers were not allowed to leave their cars in fatigues

Wow.

When Audi entered the Indian market they had to create new horns as they are used a lot there

WOw amazing.

Do you know why the trunk of the car is called that?

I have no idea actually.
THere is a reason for the name?

THere sure is, old cars used to have wooden trunks so the name stuck around

I see.

A guy once bought a property and found lots of old cars in the barn

That is a win win situation, wow.

Did you know a guy once beat 90 000 people to gran turismo

Wow I guess he is the ultimate master of the game

Yes and that is how he qualified to be a professional driver

Amazing indeed.

The Google self-driving cars have an aggressive mode

Wow scary.

In south africa you are allowed to put flame throwers in your car to prevent carjacking

Wow that bad.

Do you know what the little arrow next to the pump signifies?

To be honest, I have not noticed that at all there

Well it means that that is the side in which your gas cap is on

THat is pretty neat.
It was nice chatting with you

Same here, have a good one


Jeff Bezos is surely a genius, Amazon is a great company I just love it

Me too i think he should run for president.

He should, I think he would transform the country, the worlds walthiest person and the owner of the washington post

Indeed he already has his own jet.

I hear they're looking for there second headquarters and are going to add 50,000 new jobs.

Sounds great, 50000 new jobs, thats a great way to provide, to think the company started back in 1994 and now its a giant

Yeah it already provides 563.000 jobs currently.

Well Amazon sells, books, tablets, tech, groceries and just about anything so yeah that requires a lot of labor

The first amazon customer had a building named after him.

Sounds like he got a great bargain, imagine having a building named after after a $28 purchase, just crazy

Right, I hear that working in the warehouse you can walk between 7-15 miles a day or per shift.

Those workers must be really fit, that seems healthy but also really tiring, walking 15 miles in a day, thats a lot

Did you know that they owned IMBD?

No, I didn't know that, do you use their Amazon basics line of products?

Depends on what it is.

They have an agreement with the US postal service to deliver on Sundays.

That must be a multi million dollar contract, do you like to travel?

When i can i love to travel, i'm in Vegas now.

How about you?

Im at home wishing to be at Vegas now lol, I love to travel as well but dont have the resources now to do it

You got to just do it!

i would love to visit Japan, everything except those tolls.

I would love to visit Japan as well, but those $300 tolls do seem excesive,

Do you know who the first king to travel around the world was?

No, maybe the king of Spain?
am I right?

Well it was actually the king of Hawaii but that was an Excellent guess my friend.

Nice chatting with you.

Oh the king of Hawaii, thats so great, he is a lucky or was a lucky guy,


Do you like cars?

I do!

The car brand Cadillac was named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac - the same French explorer who was the founder of Detroit.

I know, that is crazy isn't it?
What about trunks of cars?
Have you heard of them?

Yes I have.

They are called that because in the old days cars used to carry wooden trunks on them!

Hilarious, isn't it?

I think that is a pretty cool thing though.

Imagine driving around with a wooden trunk on your car?

That would be neat and at the same time probably a little bit of a pain in the butt.

lol  McDonald's didn't have drive-thrus until they added them in 1975 to accomadte soldiers who weren't allowed to get out of their cars while wearing their fatigues.

Interesting.

Yeah, that must have been a pretty cool time to live here.

Did you know in South Africa it is legal to equip your car with Flame Throwers

Whoa!

Could you imagine that here in the states?

Why do they have flame throwers?

I think it is not true to be honest.

lol  I don't know.

I wouldn't want to be in Africa from some of the things I've seen.

You have those pirates and in some of the  cities are really dangerous.

Do you like to travel?

Yeah, that is right.

I saw a movie with Hanks about that, but I can't remember the movie.

Oh yeah.

That was a good movie.

I saw it too.

It was based off true events.

The Dutch are creating a commuter bus desinged to travel 160 mph!

It was a great movie, I think it was called Captain Phillips.

I'm not sure what the Dutch are going to do with a bus like that?

Whatever they are doing they want to go fast like Ricky Bobby.

lol  All of the highways in Japan have tolls and it would cost $300 to travel across the country.

That doesn't sound too bad really.

Is that real?
Like the whole country has tolls?
Everywhere?
I can't even imagine that?

I think just the highways and it's probably the quickest way to get around.

I was in the Dallas Ft Worth area and if you take the toll roads you can get where you're going fairly fast.

If you take the free roads, it takes you forever to get where you're going.

Did you ever have a Nintendo game system?

I did, but it only had 54 colors, hard to imagine!

I remember when they came out.

Funny how we thought how awesome they were looking back at it.

In 2003 they discontinued the Nintendo system in Japan.

I used to play this game called Punch Out, it was great.

Did you ever play?

ha!

I remember that one Mike Tyson's punchout!

That was a big game in my area.

I live in a rural area of Ohio where Mike Tyson lived in the late 80s and 90s.

Don King still lives here.

Do you remember Bill Nye the science guy?

Yeah, Tysons, then they lamely renamed it and put in some random.

It was completely pathetic.

Yeah, remember Bill Nye.

Anyways, nice chatting with you.


Do you travel much?

All the time.

Have you been to Iceland?
I hear they have no public rail system.

No, but I have been to Japan many times.

I was stationed there for 3 years when I was in the Marine Corps.

It costs more than 300.00 to travel across the country because of all the toll roads.

Not good, especially considering it's diminutive size.

How about Mackinac Island in Michigan..ever visit there?

They have no motorized vehicles at al!

I am from northern Indiana and have visited Michigan many times but not to the island.

But I hear they don't allow travel by motorized vehicles.

Wiw.

It sounds like you are quite the world traveler!

You are a little like King Kalakaua, the first king to travel the globe!

Nah!

Only 14 countries and 42 of the states.

I have been to Hawaii where the King is from.

Have you been to Europe and seen that commuter bus that the Dutch developed that goes 160 mph?

I have been to Holland but that predated the technology that allows trains to go at that speed..

My traveling is limited to the Travel Channel on TV.

You have much time to watch television during all your journeys?

Not a big fan of the small screen.

You wanna know who travels a lot?

Amazon warehouse workers.

They walk 7 to 15 miles a day as part of their daily shift.

Crazy right!

That Jeff Bezos has really got them hopping!

Yeah...

I guess thats why he built a clock that should run for 10,000 years.

Really.

It is hard to believe that Amazon is only about 25 years old.

Now it is a tech giant and largest earning internet retailer in the world.

I know!

The first Amazon customer has a building named after him.

I am just glad that my Amazon packages are delivered on Sunday by the USPS.

I imagine Clifford Calvin griping as he is forced to work on Sundays!

Did you know that Amazon has surpassed Walmart as the most valuable retailer?

That is awesome.
They also own IMDB.
Do you have a FireTV stick?

No firestick.

Jeff is going to lose a boat load of money in the divorce though.

I'll bet!
I hope Amazon does not suffer.

It won't.
It was good chatting with you.

Say hi to King Kalakaua for me!


Hi there!
Do you know much about telephones?

I know I feel like I cant live without my iPhone.

I'm with you.

I always have it on running money making apps.

lol  Did you know what they call the 3 horizontal line menu on apps and websites?

I always called it the menu button, but I guess it is the hamburger button.

Id love to hear about those money making apps, I could use a few of those.

lol  It's a funny name.

...the one I use the most is I run the video apps from swagbucks.

I just let them run on a phone I don't use anymore.

I wonder would happen if the internet burned down?

lol  I'm not sure how that would happen exactly.

Hope there is a backup plan.

There is one in the library of alexandria.

They have a copy of the internet there.

Whatever that means.

It is so ever changing that must be hard.

Whew.

That relieves me to know that.

I would be worried that I would have to go cold turkey because I suffer from a real internet addiciton.

lolol

You are not alone.

Clicking links actually can cause measurable levels of addiction in the brain.

Unlike reading the TOS for products you buy

Ahhh....I thought that's what my doctor said I had.

lol  I've heard that only 7% of people read the full TOS.

That is definitely not a group I am a part of.

Who knows what I have agreed to.

LOL  There is 3g cell service and internet capabilities at the peak of Mt.

Everest.

Thank goodness it will be there if I decide I want to climb it one day.

lol

Yeah, because if you dont get that selfie to facebook immediately it never really happened, right?

You know it!

An iphone has more computing power that the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent.

Why does that seem like a problem?

I would think that is a pretty important thing, and the device I catch Pokemon on has more power?

Yes.

lol  Kind of scary to think about it.

Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone!

I like that idea.

Same here.

I wonder how you get signed up for that.

I could definitely shut off the phone for a cause like that!

Me too!
Do you know much about the government?

Some facts, like the man in France who impersonated a government official and sold the Eiffel tower, twice.

Nice!

86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the US government.

It's been fun chatting!

It has!
Have a great day!

You have a great day too!


Good Morning!
How are you today?

Im great, do you ever use Lyft or Uber?

I have used Lyft before, but only a couple times.

How about you?

I use them all the time, good thing there's a 24/7 Uber Lyft service coming to the D.C. area

I'm surprised there wasn't one yet!

I bet that will help everybody out a lot!

Do you own a car?

I do have a car but I prefer to take an Uber at times, it helps me organize my day on the way to work, do you have a car?

I do too!

I wish I could use it more, but I live like 30 minutes from work so it isn't economical to take it.

I can't believe cars have been around since 1886!

Thats a long commute!

and yeah the first model was a Benz model many think it was a Ford.

I would have thought that but the Ford didn't come out until 1908!

Do you know how Cadillac got it's name?

No, how did Cadillac get it's name?

It was named after the found of Detroit, French Explorer Antoine de la Moth Cadillac.

Say that ten times fast lol.

Oh I see, so it was named after him, makes sense most of the car brands are  named after a guy or inventor.

Yes you're right!
Do you like to travel?

I love traveling I do it once a year, what about you?

Where is the coolest place you've been?

I do.

I don't know if I would want to travel the whole way across Japan though.

The coolest place has to be Argentina I really loved that country and also Ecuador, what about you?

and Japan seems like a great destination.

Awesome!

I would say Italy.

I do want to travel to South Africa and see those flamethowers people put on cars!

We would be in so much trouble if the same rule applied in America lol, did you hear about people stealing garden gnomes before travelling.

I agree there are too many crazy people here haha.

I didn't hear that!

Where at?

They return them apparently its a big deal all over the world, sounds  like a cool tradition, they return them to the owner with photos of the gnomes travels.

That would be fun to do!
I am going to look into that.
It was nice chatting, have a great day!


Do you like to travel?

Yes love to travel,  how about yourself?

Me too, have you ever been to Cancun?

No,  I havent,  is it worth seeing?

It always looks fun,  in commercials lol

Yeah, definitely bro.

Check out Oasis on spring break bruh huh!

Sweet,  thanks for the info.

Have you heard the dutch have a commuter bus that travels 160 mph?

OMG, where does it go to?

I am not sure,  but I guess since its a commuter bus,  probably between big cities,  to and from work,  places that have a lot of businesses.

I wish we had that here,  would be nice.

Well it has to go inbetween some cities.

Maybe Amazon know?

Why would amazon know?

Also,  another weird fact,  Iceland has no public rail transportation,  most natives that dont have cars just fly domestic.

Who knows!
Amazon has a clock in the mountain!

Thats awesome,  any other details?
Why is it on the mountain?

I'm not sure, maybe to hide it from his mistress?

LMAO

Oh thats weird,  why would that make sense?

Hilarious.
Did you know that amazon owns imdb?

Yes,  I did.

I use that app all the time,  its very useful and has so much info about movies,  shows and actors/actresses.

Yeah, I like it too.

Did you know that the warehouse workers have to work 7-15 miles a day?

That is some good exercise!
while working!

They must be the most in shape company ever!

Yeah,  I hear they are a good company to work for,  and apparently they get get paid to exercise lol

Nice, I heard the opposite via NYT.
Nice chatting!
