    Covid: When conspiracy theories come true

    Whilst you clearly believe what you are saying. I am saying that you cannot accept everything at face value, particularly from Big Pharma, or governments'. We all need to decide if they are, or are not misleading. DuPont swore blind that Teflon was safe and produced their versions of...

    pdf shrinks report

    Some scanners reduce a page size by a quite a few percent. So not always a good idea to scan scale drawings when it can be a real issue.

    FE/BE Should Any Tables be Distributed in FE?

    I have always store tables in the FE. There are system tables that you do not want your users to change. Or they are tables that you need to control the system. You may have standard groups which if changed would affect operations. Maybe a standard VAT file? You wouldn't want changes to that...

    Covid: When conspiracy theories come true

    My wife and myself haven't had a single injection of any claimed Covid protection. We are not anti-vaxxers and have been vaccinated for just about everything over the years. As were our children. We simply couldn't understand how a super-duper protection could be created in such a short time...

    Nicotine Alternatives

    I never smoked Marlboro because they were in a paper packet. Once bought them but some snapped and others crushed, pointless. Mind you I couldn't associate with a cowboy. Didn't the actor die of cancer, or some smoking related disease? Then Tele Savalas came along in Kojac smoking those thin...

    Nicotine Alternatives

    I'll second that KitaYama. I remember in the 70s going into meetings and hardly being able to see the other end of the room. On a 'plane there was bank of seats at the back which were for smokers. Smoking in cinemas common place. My father would puff at his pipe at home and in the car. In fact...

    Nicotine Alternatives

    I'm not sure meeting at a church dance could claimed to be a reason for a long marriage. My wife and I met by pure chance at a bus stop and in two years time it will be our diamond anniversary.

    Nicotine Alternatives

    I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with religion. Many people take a great deal of comfort from it and I have no problem with it, for that reason alone. My problem, being more than a little beyond agnostic. Is the logic of it all and it's apparent reliance on superstition and man made...

    Nicotine Alternatives

    From my experience there is only one thing to do and that is to stop using anything with nicotine in. It is a drug and your mind will demand it for years. I stopped in 1983 and never smoked again. I was told and understood that it would be ten years before the desire to smoke was not there. I...

    Crypto - Buying Coins In Their Infancy as a Strategy

    Maybe that is why some people are richer than others? They get the timing right. But at the end of the day most of life is down to the people you meet and the decisions you make. For want of a description some call it luck? Years ago a young guy in the town we lived in walked into a newsagents...

    Crypto - Buying Coins In Their Infancy as a Strategy

    @Jon #8 "a) you don't know when to pull out" Maybe don't let greed and 'what-if' have too much influence? If you turn a profit fine, then move on. I think that the trouble with things that expand quickly you really don't know why but once they fail you know exactly why they failed. What if...

    Batshit Bonkers Brittain

    This is Britain today. (n) DJT would no doubt put an end to this nonsense. Presumably the whole tribunal has a degree in stupidity from the pointless university

    Crypto - Buying Coins In Their Infancy as a Strategy

    @Isaac : Get in early That applies to all pyramid schemes. Maybe create your own and then you're in at the start? Then you're the one of the few that does well out of it and not one the many hoping the people running it do well and will drop a few crumbs down to the hopeful. How much will you...

    Short Path files

    Oh!.... I just scanned down at mouse wheel speed but did think whilst passing through #8 & #10 I'd give them a go sometime. I'd stuck them in my library before posting mine.

    Short Path files

    Why not use the Tilde ~ to shorten directory/folder names to eight characters? A couple of examples using the DIR command which should be self explanatory. Unfortunately there is little on the internet about using the Tilde. So you may need to do a few tests to get what you want. EXAMPLE 1...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Marxism, socialism, communism, autocrats, dictators and religion are all branches of the control tree. In some ways how different is the management and control from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple etc? If you object you cannot use any of them. You must submit to their T&Cs and their invasive...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    I'm starting to have reservations about DJT. He said that 2Tier Starmer the devout socialist nitwit is OK. Starmer and his cabinet are totally under the control of the unions. His deputy, the one in the No Brainer Raynor videos has planned to oust him and may well do so. - Frightening, then in...

    Create your own music hits with AI - amazing!

    I do think that time will certainly improve their capability to advance to super intelligence. The software certainly can only improve. Only problem I see is that we become submissive to their results and simply accept without question. AI could probably replace all British politicians at this...

    Rational vs. irrational reporting

    Over here we have seen a few news conferences on TV recently, with LA fires and now this saddening event. One thing I don't quite understand is why when the person apparently in charge, or in a leadership position is surrounded by 15 to 20 staff. All they appear to do is hover about without...
