 The lion kingdom manetanes that anyone who can afford to buy a house in Calif* is better off just retiring. Animals nearing the end of their careers have an especially low probability of making money in the remaneing time.  The lion kingdom put $130k into a sure real estate bet & lost it.  Instead of a growth opportunity, lions see a house as putting in more money to undo the bad money, like a monkey who can't let go of the banana.    Housing should be the minimum required for shelter rather than an investment, in lion opinion. The lion kingdom bought during a time of high interest rates expecting prices to rise when interest rates fell, then watched the price go down as interest rates went to 0.  This was not the traditional theory. Everything near the lion kingdom is $2 million, even the dumpy houses.  Nothing went down since the last interest rate ramp up.  This is not the traditional theory either.

 The feeling of discovering you're invested in all the women who told you to fuck off.  Also, lions aren't a fan of apple.  Apple's best days are behind it & it's now living off of what Steve Jobless built.  Owning Berk is a matter of holding your nose because it does well & accepting the women who told you to fuck off are smart.

       Lion tip: postpone jury duty to the day after or before a holiday & chances are good for getting out of it.  The lawyers all want to take an extra day off or get stuck in traffic on the way from their Tahoe mansions, but this isn't factored into jury duty assignments.  It makes lions feel sorry for the younger lion who really had to make that horrible drive, early in the morning.       Golden hour in Normandy caught the lion eye.  It looks like a lazy summer day.  The 2 rarest things in Normandy are sunlight & snow.  Those are when the chateau pops.

 Another dream about a supersized version of the college apartment.  They all focus on trying to recapture the 1 time only to discover it being completely transformed.  It's always crammed with far more people.  The rooms are always bigger.  The lion kingdom is not even considering ever renting an upper floor in an urban highrise again.  Places like that even in rural Fl*rida now cost more than silicon valley.  If a lion did just once though, all it would take is spending a summer building a high end gaming PC, walking to a different grocery store every night after the rain.  It's not known how often young lion didn't leave the apartment all day.  Most often, there was at least 1 trip to get food.  It is known there was never enough time to go anywhere like there was in the past.  Really, the happiest time might have been just the 1st week after moving in, before anyone else was there.  The lion was struggling to conjure up an audio amplifier.  The biggest problem with that

 https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/24/entertainment/tina-turner-death/index.html     A tragic loss indeed. Didn't know she was named after her abusive 1st husband. The divorce wiped her out financially & the guy still got into the rock & roll hall of fame. She outlived all of her kids.         Most remote place in the entire universe. Better get that jumbo subprime mortgage.

        Can't afford to live in a yellow state, but never knew any single women who could go 50ft without driving even in the yellow states.  Fl* is really bleak.  Didn't see anyone there who looked like she would be mobile after age 30 & certainly no-one after 30 was still mobile.     No, republicans don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning but it's amusing that Elon is now the gatekeeper of a presidential election.

  Owning the car the astronauts ride to the launchpad is a big deal, but lions can also put $100,000 in a mutual fund & get $5000 interest. We're lucky to be in a time when it's possible to vicariously experience a $100,000 car instead of having to buy one. 40 years ago, the closest a lion could get to a Toyota MR-2 were fuzzy TV commercials & half tone magazine photos.

For some reason, they disable the HUD view right before landing. 200 in flight enternainment units playing independent HD video are an incredible amount of data. It's surely all served from a single point. Still, even basic economy is lightyears beyond what we had 30 years ago. Movies make the trip go by fast & a full size laptop is too big, but lions would seriously consider a head mounted display laptop for frequent travel. Maybe I do, A man called Otto had similarly intriguing developments followed by flat endings. Back in Calif*.   Gator invasion.      The mighty St Augustine lighthouse.    Long way up.  Not as easy as it looks for animals who fear heights.  After a false start, the lion kingdom finally navigated it by looking at the wall.  But the real action is looking down.  The stairs moved when other animals were climbing.  Eventually, you gpt used to it. The door opened to the south.  Excitement guaranteed.  After a few attempts, the li

 After spending an hour searching for a new movie, the lion kingdom started on The Meg.  Sometimes it's better to rewatch an old movie than try something new. Despite being set in China, it was shot entirely in New Xealand.  Not enough attention was given to the minisub, but lions consider it the most novel part of the show.  A lot of effort went into designing it.  The cockpit uses screens showing outboard cameras instead of a window. The only other novelty might be the underwater tunnel from the trailer. There's a glimpse of the minisub cross section.  Incompetent characters & a pretty boring plot kept this one on the watch later list. The dominant hottie trophy wife was in Mortal Kombat 2021.  Lions haven't kept track of fight games, but Mortal Kombat seems to be the latest evolution of the Street Fighter games.  The Mortal Kombat movie series began in 1995 & seems to have gone on in a parallel universe.  There's an entire universe of fight movies.

  Sometimes a really goofy part comes out which makes you wonder how someone came up with the idea. In this case, an I/O expander converts I2C into 24 GPIO's.  It's used to read DIP switches.  The ages old method was a shift register, but I2C could make it smarter.  The only way lions imagine it could have been conceived is a customer happening to have I2C but not enough GPIOs.  The customer requested it from TI. The goofy parts are going away, with everything shifting to single chip systems.
