    turtledoves seeking out the shade?

    Haven't seen any doves the past couple of days - I hear them - but this morning there is a huge mob of tiny brown and black feathered orange beaked birds, kinda dumb acting like parrots. Sparrows mybe, they are loud chirpy and quiet by turns as if they are waiting for something.

    ...always wondered  why don't they make Ethernet cables with a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other (like an extension cord)?

    To connect my workstation to the cable in the room in, I have to go out and purchase a junction, pair of splitters, or multi port switch as the lead does not reach to where my desk is.

    Haven't been able to download and install any content or Daz updates for over a month (including the 4.9 beta as that can only be DLd with the DIM) and I don't look forward to screening all the Windows updates that have most likely backed up.

    Well, you could make your own male-female cable using female ends, they are available here.  http://www.cablestogo.com/product/35219/cat6-rj45-utp-toolless-keystone-jack-white

    But it's just as easy to buy proper length dual-male cables long enough for the project from here. http://www.cablestogo.com/category/cat-x

    But the reasoning for the predominance of male-male cables is probably to avoid repeating the insanity of the RS-232 connector/cable "standard" of the last century.  Just look at what's happened to the USB cable world in this century with all of its various types of ends. (oh, my aching head) and it's relatively tame compared to what RS-232 devolved into.

    You have to admit that even with the number of variations in the standard ethernet cable, you can pretty much rely on the fact that almost any good quality ethernet cable with two "8P8C" (also incorrectly known as "RJ45") male ends and 8 wires will carry your data properly in both directions unless you actually get hold of a "cross-over" cable that isn't marked.  It's very easy to get dual-female cross-over adapters, and dual-female couplers that should fill out any techie's toolbox.  However, as pointed out in the links above you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaur... oops, I mean "Cables To Go".

    Of course using the typical Ethernet cables you have to follow the network wiring rules, i.e. primarily, you connect a hub between computers.

    ...wow, so they do make them.  Have to check the US site.

    ...alas pretty much nothing like the ones pictured on the UK site over 1 ft in length available from vendors here in the States the only 3' one I could find was 3 times the price, after exchange, of the 1M one on the UK site). Seems here they are more into selling you those couplers (some which cost as much or more than the extension cables) or switches.

    ...yeah and many of those petrol fuelled power tools (often employing two cycle engines which are less efficient at fuel burning than four cycle ones) put out more noxious fumes and carbon as well as noise. Leaf blowers are, in my opinion, nothing more than petrol powered noisemakers as so often I see someone blow all the leaves from their yard into the street and an hour or two later, the wind blows them all back. A rake and a couple lawn bags would completely solve the issue and probably take the same amount of time while being a lot kinder to the ears and noses of the neighbours.

    Doesn't everyone? You could go all Quebec and use mayonaise.

  • frank0314frank0314 Posts: 14,707

    mayo on fries? Wow. I don't mind mayo on burgers which I actually like. Big fan of Burger King which they do. I love vinegar and ketchup on my fries.

    I had a colleague, the last year I was working, who's idea of a light vegetarian lunch was a tray of chips (fries to you) with Mayo. She had enough mayo that she could dunk the chips in it. I always left the office when she came back with that.  yuck   THe polystyrene containers they put take-outs in, I swear she had one half of it half full of mayo, the other half filled with chips.

    ...ugh, makes me feel nauseous just thinking about that. 

    Here in the states, Mayo seems the condiment/ingredient of choice as well. Most crisp dips (that aren't salsas) are made with it instead of using sour creme. The only thing I could find at the market to dip my baby carrots in was Tzatziki, everything else they had (even at the premium dip bar) was mayo based. 

    Same goes for a lot of salad dressings that aren't vinegar based.

    Yogurt and sour creme are OK for me.

    Not into hummus, too distinct a flavour, even with other spices in it and kind of "heavy" for crisps.

    Since technically there can be an infinite number of parallel universes... that, times twelve. Personally, I find the oddest one to be the mutant Oprah/Dick Cheney Spiderman... But it's a little understandable since it takes place in an Oprahverse...    Yeah....
