No person in custody
No description.
Magically knows the man was 45yrs old.
How dat be?
They likely knew who it probably was. In fact he is in custody and could be linked to another fire.

re: Who has a clock/radio on their nightstand?

That’s a good idea. I have a Monster power conditioner in my den that has a voltage readout that I covered with black electrical tape. Time to try your idea on the clock radio.

Elizabeth McGovern was a babe. So was Barbara Eden.
I was at LSU from the mid to late 80’s. I had a cat named Nastassja.

I have a Sony shaped like a cube that projects the time on the ceiling.
I never realized that ceiling projection was so popular. Sounds I get, but time on the roof is odd to me.
I have two Gen Z kids. Neither want anything to do with clocks.They are like why?, I have a phone.
They both know how to read one, and not just the digital kind.

I get that point but my cognitive dissonance lets me sleep at night.
I almost never need to charge my phone at night.
Not that it isn't listening 24/7.

Not to sound to 1984'ish but I like to think my devices are not listening.

Don;t know why I liked her back then. Well I do now. Do not look for more pics. Time catches up to all.
If it is minor pain, I would live with it. Be a man! JK.
Those are fine but if you want your watch to track sleep it is worthless. My phone lasts 24 hours or so of my normal usage so no need to charge overnight. AirPods as well.

Watch? People still wear a watch to actually check the time?
I wear an Apple watch. It doesn't just tell time. It shows me who is calling or texting me. It also is a fitness tracker. I can do pretty much what my phone can do without my phone on me.

Same. But I also had one that sped up over time too.
I have a clock in my kitchen that is always 1-2 minutes behind. Batteries are up to date but it will not stay on time. What's weird is it doesn't get worse over time. It just refuses to stay.
I guess is what more pathetic that I care so much about it or just accept the clock is perpetually wrong.

Mine doesn't do all the fancy stuff. It doesn't even have a battery for power outages nor keeps up with time changes. Yes I went super cheap with this one.

I get enough authenticity. I have a train.come by roughly every morning around 4. Doesn’t bother me much now but I know what time it is when I hear it.

Mine is from the early 90s. The cassette player doesn't work but the radio does.
Cassette player? We must send that to the Smithsonian.

It’s one of the few things I own that lift me up when I am in a massive depression. Just when I feel like giving up, I look at it and return to feeling hopeful
I can see that. When I see the time I say OK it’s time to go most mornings. I’m retired now so most times I just say frick it I can go a few more minutes.
Never thought the projection was necessary. No need to broadcast my temporal moments in bed.
re: Rumor: META to acquire CLECO

Isn’t CLECO a cooperative? Even when I lived in LA I’ve never lived in one. But who owns the business? I guess the state has the power to stop this.
