THE BEST ELECTRIC WINE BOTTLE OPENER

THE BEST ELECTRIC WINE BOTTLE OPENERSuper Hurricane Ida (there are reports she just hit 155 MPH while nearing the Louisiana coastline, which qualifies her for Super status) made landfall near Port Fourchon as a Category 4 with constant winds of 150 MPH at the inner wall of the storm.  There will be considerable wave and wind damage, plus floods from all the rainfall:


Reportedly, Ida was the most powerful hurricane to strike Louisiana since the 1850's.  Governor John Bel Edwards said yesterday that she will be the strongest to make landfall over Louisiana.  This was when when the projected speed was supposed to be 140 MPH.
How much more powerful is a 150 MPH hurricane compared to a 75 MPH hurricane?  You need to divide the smaller number into the larger number, then take the cube of the quotient.  Thus, 150/75 = 2, followed by 2x2x2 = 8.  A 155 MPH hurricane is 8.86 times more powerful than a 75 MPH hurricane.

Are you one of those still struggling to open a wine bottle using those manual bottle openers?  I've now been at 15 Craigside for seven years and I think still remain as the only one with an electric wine bottle opener.  Here are the top ones from BestReviews:

  • Best of the best:  Ozeri Nouveaux II
    • $12.66
    • was $17.11
    • ergonomic grip
    • new Li-Ion technology opens 100 bottles on a full charge.
    • Transparent shell
  • Best bang for the buck:  Oster  $19.99
  • Secura  $21.99
  • Famili  $17.39
  • QcoQce  $19.99, but currently unavailable.
  • So ordered from Amazon the Ozeri Nouveaux II for $12.66.  Amazingly enough, that Le Creuset opener, the manual one above, costs $20.

  • The Ozeri arrived, and I tried it.  Fabulous!  I can highly recommend this electric wine bottle opener:

I placed my Ozeri next to another opener I bought from Brookstone, which cost around $27.  The Ozeri is a lot better, plus comes with a bottle pourer/cap.

DAY 4 IN SEOUL: Most popular Korean Songs from the 1950's to the Present

Korean music was almost totally missing, growing up in Hawaii.  The exception was  Arirang .   Today, BTS and BLACKPINK resonate around the world.  In addition to the 600 year-old  Arirang,  what is the all-time #1?  My favorites are: Baby Shark , released by Pinkfong in 2016. For one, it is the most-viewed You Tube video ever, hitting 7 billion views and surpassing  Despacito  in 2022.   Is now up to 16.47 billion views, with  Despacito  at 9 billion. Top 10 music videos, based on data from   Kworb   and   Wikipedia :  Note that most are nursery songs. "Baby Shark Dance"   – Pinkfong Kids' Songs & Stories (16.47 billion) "Despacito"   – Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee (8.91 billion) "Wheels on the Bus"   – Cocomelon Nursery Rhymes (8.29 billion) "Bath Song"   – Cocomelon Nursery Rhymes (7.31 billion) "Johny Johny Yes Papa"   – LooLoo Kids (7.13 billion) "See You Again"   –...

HOW TO WATCH NETFLIX SHOWS

But first, maybe  President Donald Trump's 20-point Gaza Peace Plan is showing some progress .   No one expects the Hamas to accept all of them, but they did agree to release all captives and the act of handing over administration to Palestinian technocrats. So far, in the Gaza Strip, 66,288 have been killed and 169,165 wounded.   On 7October2023, almost two years ago, 1139 were killed in the initial Hamas-led attack. About my topic of the day, I've long been lamenting the overflow of watchable films and series available on Netflix and Prime.  Why expand into the plethora of other streaming options when I can't keep up with what I have, which costs me around $30/month.  And, of course, why venture out to a movie theater to end up watching a film that will cost me around that amount of money, when you add the popcorn, drink, gasoline cost, time it takes to get there and back, and the risk of a car accident or worse.  Oh, also getting infected with ...
