Could my 35-year wait for a flying car almost be at an end? This one looks promising.

A prototype flying car has completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia.

The hybrid car-aircraft, AirCar, is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.

Its creator, Prof Stefan Klein, said it could fly about 1,000km (600 miles), at a height of 8,200ft (2,500m), and had clocked up 40 hours in the air so far.

Of course, it comes from Slovakia. In the USSA, something like this, if it worked, would be banned for working in the USSA. As always, I will really believe it when I fly it. BTW, 2,500 meters is high enough to clear almost all peaks in the Tatras.Go, Slovakia!

Today, as millions revel and fake president Greenscreen sleeps, they are working on our new national flag. In the meantime, Vanessa Williams will belt out the new national anthem! I understand “Bend Every Knee and Grovel” narrowly beat out “Prendez les Blancs” by “Frenchman” Nick Conrad. In an Amerika where less than a quarter of the population is American, it almost makes sense.

Today, I declared my independence from LinkedIn.

My path and process were remarkably similar to my departure from Faceberg. I slowly drew down my presence. Recently, I scrubbed everything they would let me delete. Today, I killed the account. I feel better already.

If you must “follow” me on the socials, then, by all means, come to FPC – just know that we are about to wisely crush the cult of free (as to new members). Also, if memory serves, I have a blog somewhere.

Yes, I Am

This just came in from Ivan Throne:

‘Ready for the collapse of the United States?’

Ivan here.

If you don’t see the collapse of America coming, you’re looking the other way.

It’s far closer than you think, and that’s simply because too many unsustainable things are hitting all at once, and there’s nothing that can be done about that.

The U.S. military isn’t going to suddenly turn around and say, “we were just kidding about funding the castration of our own recruits, we’re actually warfighters.”

The FBI won’t pause and announce “looks like inciting racial warfare across the country isn’t helpful.”

American politicians aren’t going to swiftly go against the mob and risk being called a bad name by some blue haired ham planet in a rainbow shirt.

I’m sorry, but that’s just the way it is.

The Great Experiment is over.

It is indeed. And, as such, I’ll happily plug THE NINE LAWS again.

On a net that doesn’t work. So, I did my regular 6-18 month check-in at Linkedin this morning. FP-related matters aside, the Big L is my only anti-social media presence. Today, I found absolutely nothing of interest there, as has been the case every single time I’ve ever logged in. I did find it humorous they wanted me to add my “pronouns.”

I thought about pulling the plug, then and there, but for some reason, I did not. Soon. Hermits don’t network.
