Honey i shrunk the chixens?
Mr Foghorn has some explainin to do to his Mrs. hens
Ubuntu was on mr cheap usb but the HP backup with OS is on a scan disc. I got a scan disc usb just for the back up.
Buffalo has three meanings: it is a city in New York; it is a large North American bovine related to the bison; and it is a verb meaning "to outwit, confuse, deceive, or intimidate". Thus, the sentence becomes "bison from Buffalo, whom bison from Buffalo intimidate, also intimidate bison from Buffalo". Another similar word puzzle is "Jim where John had had had had had had had had had was correct". There's also a famous Chinese poem that is the same syllable 92 times with different inflections.
Wonder if Daz created an OS would it be better than windows?
Heck, I created an OS better than Windows, but that was 35 years ago. But now Windows does what I want it to. It doesn't crash or do unexplained things as often as it used to, and it's not particularly expensive. And I stopped designing operating systems 20 years ago. There was a time when I knew what Window's problems were and why it behaved as badly as it did, and wondered how long it would take them to resolve it, (about 25 years. although I'm not sure they still completely understand).
But asking DAZ to create an OS is a truely frightening thought. They can't even get the revision numbers to match the icons properly on new releases and seem to have a phobia about keeping manuals up-to-date.
i remember a shuffle off to buffalo in tap class

I think I ate a box of chocolate too fast. Fortunately it only had 5 pieces in it.
...I think it's accelerated obsolescence. Had a battery swell up and corrode inside the barrel my small Maglite. Impossible to get it out so the the light is totally shot and I have to buy a new one.
We don't use the term Condo over here really. We have houses, appartments and flats mostly As to taxes, there is a set level and if your income is above that then you pay taxes When Himself was alive he paid tax, my 2 pensions don't amount to enopugh to pay taxes on.
...translates to badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger in Wisconsin.
Mushroom, mushroom.
..the miracle of selective breeding.
Turkeys used to be much smaller until about the middle of last century. .
...well, there are a lot of pigeons in New York.
thanks. before i trade in D. Trump for Queen E, i should learn about taxes. and w-9s. lol
and learn to look left crossing the street.
i worked 2 full time jobs for 20 years, my ss estimate at 62 is like 1,200 a month before they deduct anything out.
my royalties are insignificant amounts. dunno how ss and taxes works if i have no u.s. permanent addresss
i'll try searching flats. the important thing is no steps and a pub in walking distance >.< a room and board situation would be nice.
Remember the days before Maglites with their magnesium case, or modern LED flashlights? Back in the '50s when a flashlight was a big thin tube of chrome or nickel plated steel. Get a scratch on it and it started to rust from the outside in. Get a corroded battery and it ate its way through the tube from the inside. And the batteries were the old carbon-zinc type (carbon center rod, magnesium dioxide paste electrolyte, and zinc outer shell) and didn't last for squat and the lightbulbs almost gave off enough light to attract a firefly. In England they were called a "torch" because they were almost as useful as a flame on a stick. Kids these days don't know how lucky they are to have these PEZ sized lights in their hand that would illuminate the Albert Hall and if necessary blind a dragon, or lead a convoy of lost hikers all night through the woods.
Ah, yes, the old cabon/MnO2/zinc batteries. Little known fact. They were not rechargeable but if you put them near the hot part of a pot belly heating stove after they'd been exhausted running your toys and left them there for a while, they would work in your toy again for a few minutes. Cool!
'Nother little known fact. If you cut one of those old carbon batteries in half and scooped out the black MnO2 paste then put it in a jar and dumped some hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on it, it would generate lots of oxygen (O2) which you could capture by bubbling it through water to fill an inverted jar and then use it to make all sorts of things burn furiously. Great fun.

This is why I am saving in retirement funds, outside of retirement funds, in the coffee can in the kitchen, and by not buying a car every 2 years. Or 4. Or 10. Or 15. Well, you get the idea!
Retire by starting early, saving from every paycheck, and investing that money for decades.
Yep, the worst thing is to not start saving early. The next worst thing is to not start saving after having not saved early. There are a lot of people who were not able to save a lot, but by starting early in life and by making saving and investing a lifestyle choice, they now have millions. Dollars, pounds, euros, the denomination matters not.
My fear of being on the streets is so great, I save about 30% of my pay. But one can become wealthy by saving as little as 15% with every paycheck.
A true hangover is when your brain feels like the yolk of an egg inside your skull, and when you move too quickly, it touches the side of your skull and hurts really bad!
When one has no money, everything that happens is amplified, and it's usually for the worst. I can't live like that, so I save like crazy. And I drive an old car. And won't go into debt, either. You can't convince me to do that.
Not only that, how would you feel if/when they just stop developing it? I present to you Cararra, Bryce, and Hexagon. The first two are in developer purgatory, and the third is in beta-tester purgatory. That makes me sad. And it doesn't do much for my confidence in other potential ares of development either.
...
I remember that.
...unless that paycheque is so low you dan't even make it month to month like many (inducing myself) and have nothing left over. 15% of 0 is still 0
I kind of wasn't talking to you. You've said many times that you can't work anymore, so my points above simply don't/can't apply to you. You may really be stuck, I don't know.
But I DO know that most don't have to suffer every little raise in fresh produce or meat prices as you do. If they use the time that they still have, that is.
So really, I was talking to every person 10+ years away from retirement who might be reading this thread, for it is THEY who have the greatest power and control over their lives going forward.
...if they exert personal control over their spending habits now and keep working to increase their pay throughout their careers, that is.
Jersey is supposed to be nice. (Not New Jersey) I have a friend who's from there. She lives here but she goes home for vacations now and then. Nice beaches and scenery, almost tropical looking with palm trees that thrive in that climate.

this morning i had the revelation dystopia is here. its happening right now.
ada bus took me grocery shopping this morning. driver ahd a worship radio station on. it was talking about all the thrings wrong in society today, including the tyranny of social media. omg was so depressing listening to it.
on the bright side. clips was having a haircut sale, and they didn't hit me with the long hair fee.
nexto to it the liquor store had the St Brenden's irish cream. my favorite. was so happy nabbed an extra bottle for my cousin.
couldnt find fresh uncut green beans. was already withering on the ends. yuck. produce section is shrinking and crappier.
i hope Wales does better fresh veggies available.
Jersey, Channel Islands, British and yet governs itself, sort of. Very difficult to get residency. Very expensive
watching some recipes on utoob omg, he's frying bacon in butter for potato soup.
...removed because of potential political discussion points.
Instead enjoy a goofy picture of a cat as it is Caturday.
I never fry bacon, it's either grilled or griddles. But if I was going to fry it I ouwl fry it in it's own fat. baco does not need extra fat added. and especially not butter, totally different taste. That;s just showing off for the camera
Complaint: Arghhhh... remember my keyboard problem with the leaky battery that got fixed so nicely. Well, it wasn't.
I started typing things today and after a bit of confusion and retries and thinking that my typing was becoming spastic, I realized that a couple of keys were not registering. After a systematic check of the keys it resoved to being the "B" and "N" keys (right next to each other) that were wonky.
So out comes 14 screws again and some carefull prying to unlatch the top of the keyboard from the bottom (easier now that I know where the snaps are) and careful handling to not let the inner floppy parts get misaligned (again), I was able to determine that the rubbery springy layer that gets depressed by the key had kinked right between the "B" and "N".
Non-complaint: So, happy that I had found a cause that fit the symptoms, I carefully unkinked the kink, made sure all the rubbery parts and floppy circuit parts were in all the right places, carefully snapped the top and bottom of the keyboard together again, inserted the batteries, tested the keyboard exhaustively, (it works), THEN re-screwed the 14 screws back in, and called it a day and made supper. Yay! I don't have to buy a new keyboard.
You should try the Bacon Method.
Complaint: I sold a DAZ image to a web customer. But my customer couldn't get my "PayPal.me" access to work. It seems to work for me. And after calling PayPal helpdesk they confirmed everything seemed to be setup OK but after three tries my customer still reported not reaching my pay page. This was my first time trying to receive money via PayPal instead of in person or via postal mail. Very unhappy and frustrated.
nope, after the years and years I have cooking, raised 2 boys and a stepson as well from the time he was 13 and turned all 3 boys out being able to cook. Youngest son was able to cook a Sunday dinner for 5 at the age of 13, elder son became a chef, eventually an award winning chef, before moving to Ireland and become the head chef of this Hotel
I really think I will stick with my own way
Non-complaint: I love working with magnetic screwdrivers. Everytime the magnet whisks a screw a half inch across the table onto the end of the screwdriver I marvel at the fact that that simple behavior is one of the primary forces and key features of reality and yet is still not completely understood. Oh, we know what it does and how quickly and how forcefully it happens but we still don't know exactly what a magnetic field is or why it exists. Then I muse on the idea that there is no solid "Matter". Everything is a "Field" of one sort or another. That various types of "Particles" are just hotspots or wrinkles in its corresponding Field. Everything in the Universe is just Fields and wrinkles dancing in Fields.
Then I ponder the existence of the Universe at all. That any attempt to explain the existence of the Universe as the result of a pre-existing condition fails because it's just stepping back from the problem to make it appear smaller and hasn't resolved the question at all. Therefore the Universe has had to either always existed, or popped out of nothing. To assume that a vast amount of stuff always existed is just as ludicrous as popping out of nothing. However, I can imagine a timeless Nothing but find it impossible to imagine an eternal Everything. But at least popping out of nothing can be imagined if it's balanced. If there is just as much negative stuff as positive stuff. A zero-sum Universe. A true Miracle.
Then I remember that I am not my body, I am not my brain, I am not my cells because over the last 71 years, all the atoms in my body have been replaced multiple times. Yet the "I" that is not my body perceives matter, conceives of spacetime, remembers the past, predicts the future, and is amazed at the mystery of a screw jumping a half inch across the table.
The fact that Life arose at all is another Miracle. Yet seems to arise from the basic nature of the attributes of the Universe we inhabit. How absolutely marvelous. And for that life to be conscious of its existence and be able to grasp the enormity of its situation is yet another Miracle.
I come to the inescapable conclusion that there is no need to search for Magic or Miracles. They are all around for those willing to see. The sum of Universe, Life and Consciousness is the greatest Miracle of all. Perhaps in the emptiness of the timeless Nothing is the ghost of Consciousness enveloping the concept of space, time and matter, supporting it's own existence. A dream of self. Everything within Nothing.
All this musing because I watched a screw jump a half inch across the table.
