Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

It goes back to the Grosser Mercedes 600 , almost everything was hydraulic powered from a central pump providing 2100 p.s.i. including the window lifts .
Typical German approach . I didn't know when they stopped the madness , apparently some time before the 80's .

That's the first I've heard of it, but the 600 was its own beast. Certainly a great looking car!

It was a luxury car that did many things just to set it apart . Know your market I guess.

Apparently , I'm a bot since I don't sign into the google strip mining machine . I thought it was for videos posted on 3rd. party sites , so I went to the you tube site to watch the Grosser video , Same crap , it bothers them not to see who watches the videos . I am the product. I will miss seeing the videos , but I won't miss being part of the machine . Rant off.

While I feel your pain, not sure why you're having issues. I'm not logged into Google, but I am logged into YT. I can watch the video embedded or click the link and watch on YT with no issues....from a desktop computer on wired connection running an outdated OS and browser. Not sure how it might be if I was logged out of YT.

But the dirty little secret is YT is google. I never have logged into anything to watch a video before , embedded or not . Now they want to know who is watching.
Oh well , X and Tic Toc don't care who is watching. If you logged out of YT , I bet you will discover you're in my new world . Thanks chili.

Yes, not too secret but at least the logins are still separate, though the data is saved as a branch of the Google account. While they do have some data on me, I control it as much as possible and try to keep an eye on it. I've actually adopted this approach to everything computer/cell related over the past few years. Even my presence on the internet has diminished quite a bit with relatively minimal effort.

I run ad blockers, restrict cookies on many sites and even block a few sites outright in my browser. There are some I can't access at all and others display with limited functionality or completely broken, and that number is increasing - not by accident. So be it, I don't need to see it if they're that way about it and, truth is, you can often find the content elsewhere with a bit of searching.

For @Wildman and anyone else who can't tell a skirt from a dress: These are (rather plain) dresses.

Compared to the SKIRTS we were wearing here.

You're welcome!

You don't do youtube, Zorba doesn't do X. Got it.
 
Saw this on my morning bike ride. A witness said he drifted into the curb then sharply corrected and laid it on it's side. I wanted to stick around and make a video of them righting it but they had to unload about 7 pallets of batteries by hand and nobody to help the 2 man wrecker crew. There was a lady there who has a van life You Tube channel and will put it up tomorrow. All 3 lanes blocked and rush hour traffic was backed up big time. Glad I was on my bike.

You'll like this.

My work friend is complaining he can't drive his falcon into the office for the Halloween party, because his arm is in a cast. I told him, if I can drive a manual while texting with one hand, you can drive a manual with a cast!!!

We'll see if it worked later in the week
