My insurance company has a program were they attach some kind of doohickey to your car, and that allows them to keep track of how far you drive and where you drive. The theory being that if you don't drive very far or if you don't drive it to dangerous areas, there's less risk of your car being damaged or stolen, so they can make your premium less.
But I don't want my insurance company, or the government, or my next door neighbor, or anybody else knowing how far I drive and where I go. So I have opted not to sign up for that program, and I have to pay more.
Kind of sucks.

I'm a cop, I want to get a search warrant. Do I have to go to a specific judge? Or can any guy that has the right to sit behind the bench with the robe on give me one?

That is not appear to be engraved.
It actually looks like it was engraved into the mold, so it was cast into the bullet.

My car insurance, the last 4 years. Just the last two digits.
20 - 25
21 - 36
21 - 40
22 - 41
22 - 44
23 - 48
23 - 56
Now I have not filed a claim since 1993. I have not had a ticket since 1987. But as you can see every 6 months my insurance has gone up.
So I get a notice for my next 6 months policy - April 2024, and they are just so excited.
YOUR PREMIUM HAS BEEN REDUCED!!!!!!
It's come back down to 48. A year ago it was 48, 6 months ago it went up to 56, and now it's gone back down to 48.
Woooowwwwwww.
I guess it's better than going up to 62. But if they really wanted to reduce it they could have dropped it back down to the 25 it was 4 years ago.

I was looking for another copy of Holiday Affair, because mine seems to have grown legs. I found one, but it was $15 which was way more than I wanted to spend on it. But then I find a four pack of "Christmas favorites" for $11.
One was Holiday Affair. That's already a better price even if the rest of them are crap.
One was It Happened on Fifth Avenue. Great Christmas movie. Sounds like a winner.
The third one is Blossoms in the Dust. This is a biopic of a woman who ends up starting a home for foundling children, and manages to get the word "illegitimate" removed from Texas birth certificates. The movie starts off with her sister is about to get married, until the prospective mother-in-law finds out that the sister is adopted and is illegitimate and puts the kibosh on the marriage and the sister committed suicide. This is a Christmas favorite?
And lastly we have All Mine to Give. This concerns a Scottish couple in an upper Midwest logging town, and they have six kids, and both parents die. Diphtheria for one and typhoid for the other. So the townsfolk are going to jump right in and separate the children and take a kid, and the oldest boy convinces the town to let him have one last Christmas together. He decides which people would make better parents for his brothers and sisters, and on Christmas night he takes his siblings to these various houses, figuring they would not refuse the child on Christmas. And after he has givin away his five brothers and sisters, he goes off to the logging camp. Also a biopic. Based on a true story.
And again I'm thinking, this is a Christmas favorite??

Do a Google lens search! There is one called Pat Riot II as well
.
That one says Pat Riot II.
The II is smaller than the rest of the name.
If that one is number two, then obviously our Pat is the original.

Some politician, or possibly she was a judge. She was being interviewed and she was asked if so and so was a man or a woman. She replied that she was not a biologist, so she could not make that decision.
So Roy Orbison wrote the song about a pretty woman - not a pretty he-or-she, or a pretty they-them - 60 years ago and he wasn't a biologist.
I'm assuming that that is the reference being made.
Added. She was a supreme court nominee. 2 minutes and 40 seconds into this clip the senator asked her to define woman and she said she could not because she was not a biologist.

I thought that was the Greeks, trying to get into Troy. Not the Romans.

You ever lift a large fry pan alpo? Heavier than most pistols
Are you referring to my upper body strength comment?
When you lift that large frying pan, do you lift it up to eye level and hold it?
