Yep. Did the Russians think of that before the Ukrainians cut the underwater gas pipe in the Baltic? It must be cost effective though. First destroy all of the major power sources, then send in the troops when convenient some time later.

Well Doc, I just wish I'd known their correct names because I've been searching around for years to buy one of each. However, the optical polarized luminosity attenuation shield fortunately is available on Amazon:cool:

Here in the UK we have a government hellbent on bankrupting us for an unplanned and un-costed dream of NetZero. Now we are proceeding with huge windfarms and agreeing to buy more electricity from Europe basically because we shortly will be unable to provide enough electricity ourselves. No...

I give up.

Politicians do it all the time. One claimed for years they were a qualified solicitor and only stopped when he was threated with prosecution. Our illustrious Chancellor Rachel Joicey (nee Reeves) made wild and exaggerated claims on working at the Bank of England and Halifax Bank. Once claimed...

You appear to have posted around three hours after isladogs helpfully provided you with a solution. Maybe you really need to spend some time understanding those two examples which are using Access database files.?

I am pleased to hear of your successful operation. My son in law had the test for bowel cancer and it was totally clear. Then within three months he was admitted and had half of his bowel and half of his stomach removed. The operation was concluded by preparing him for a reversal and that has...

This can be a can of worms if it gets too complex. How do you know user1 has signed out, or that user2 isn't using user4's login? What happens if a user switches off the PC without logging out? If this ends up on a network, which is probable, this becomes quite intense. Particularly if you have...

At the end of the day medical treatment is a scarce resource that is sustained by fear of falling ill. In the UK treatment is regarded as a right but the people running it in their grandiose ivory towers, consistently getting their ability mixed up with their ambition. The NHS is a huge...

Will this not work? In the Control Souce of the field on the MainForm =[Forms]![FormMain]![FormSubForm].[Form]![FieldContents] As you move about in the Sub Form the contents of the field on the MainForm should be displayed from the SubForm You could also do it in reverse by putting code in...

I thought politics was verboten but it does look like a mistake to fully approve it this week. However, I presume the cars and holidays have all been paid for and accepted by now.

Same with finance, insurance and advice which most people don't realise. As soon as someone else is involved they will want paying. The more there are, then more will want to be paid.

Not sure those are reasons not to build on the coast. Ships cope well with corrosion, as do oil rigs, oil refineries and chemical plants etc. Plus, aren't most nuclear plants are built on the coast anyway. So a few hundred datacentres shouldn't be a problem. I can understand that the toffs say...

A guy came home after celebrating the New Year to a note on the fridge door from his wife which said : "this is not working any more and I have gone to my sister's" He'd no idea what she was going on about, because when he checked the fridge it was fine with everything including a few beers...

So why not build them on the coast and cool with sea water? Also a preferred location for nuclear power plants, which the datacentres could/should provide themselves. After all the 19th century mill owners didn't rely on the state to provide their factory power. They provided their own and...
