@BlueSpruce, I'm sorry in my opinion but you are wrong. A floor in any building is designed to carry its own load as well as the estimated maximum load to be placed upon the floor. Any individual floor is not designed to carry the weight of two, or more loaded floors. Many buildings, those...

I suggest that you replace the macro solution with VBA. Code is (virtually) always preferred to macros. Maybe take a look at IslaDogs' Progress Bar which I would say is a sound and a preferrable solution to a macro. https://isladogs.co.uk/progress-bar/index.html

Once mild steel reaches a cherry heat it will begin to be easier to work. Most forging can happen at between 1000ºc and 1200ºc, with melting occurring around 1400ºc. According to Isaac Newton, force increases by the square of the speed. So faster = more force. Strength of materials works in the...

It has happened again, the Access World unexpected digression. So I'll reiterate: "Have to say I wasn't aware of this issue. My PCs are the mini box type which are 120mm square with an SSD fitted. Regarding the HDDs mentioned from what I can see they appear to get their power from the USB...

You can't be too thin, you can't be too rich and you can't have too many backups. Been one of my mottos for years. Pity having all three isn't so easy though. I used to see advice on how to destroy your old hard drive and never could see why it wasn't just easier to keep it.

Have to say I wasn't aware of this issue. My PCs are the mini box type which are 120mm square with an SSD fitted. Regarding the HDDs mentioned from what I can see they appear to get their power from the USB. Is that right? All of the HDDs I've used have had a 4pin male power recessed plug. I...

At home. As a structural engineer I was surprised how they could collapse into themselves so quickly. Later I understood it was to do with the desire for the fastest lifts/elevators that left them vulnerable. Mind you, I don't believe that any building could withstand that level of force.

I've thought for maybe ten years, nothing is private anymore.

I'll look at those. I have experienced payment failures when buying in another country on a credit card. Everything proceeds until the final payment conformation that falls over. In the end I switched off the VPN and it went through Ok.

I have been using Access since the last century and have never used a calculated field in a table. Mainly because I've had the impression, rightly or wrongly, that I'm not totally in control of them.

Why do so many sites now need you to confirm you are human? It must be a piece of spy software similar to CAPTCHA that logs some other site to log onto your PC. Generally, I will immediately close the prove you are human tickbox. Then find another that doesn't. I am always on a VPN, so I don't...

They are probably switching on the phone camera as well. All electric cars and some other newer cars have microphones and cameras inside and outside. MG and all other Chinese cars no doubt download everything for whatever reason. So if you have an MG, apart from knowing exactly where you have...

I rang Boots up the other day and after the number options it said "If you want marijuana, press the hash key"

Yes Jon it was. Always a person with a pleasant disposition to people she doesn't like which appears to be quite a lot. She claims to be a comedian but all I've heard her come out with is abuse and sarcasm. As an aside, she was a nurse at one time. Just imagine coming round after an operation...

From what I understand he hasn't incited violence in the neo-terrorist understanding of violence. It has been similar to a tweet stated in his current trial which was similar to "if a woman finds a trans in a women only space, then she is entitled to kick him in the balls" . He tends to make a...

A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, “Doctor, doctor, I can’t feel my legs!” The doctor replied, “I know you can’t, I’ve cut your arms off”.

Graham is Irish, a citizen of Eire, the Irish Republic. Not Northern Ireland British. He uploaded those posts from Arizona a couple of months ago apparently. So if any US citizens post anything that the British police think is unsuitable, or someone objects to, then watch out! If you come to...

I recently had my main email use a CAPTCHA demand to check my recovery email and enter the code that had been sent there. I opened the recovery email and that also required me to enter a code it had sent to my phone. By the time I’d all done that and returned to my main email, it had timed out...

Personally I would never issue a batch file to a client for any reason whatsoever. There could just be some clown who alters a batch file, causing a sequence of errors that I would be obliged to fix. I would always create the batch file and then convert it into an EXE file before issuing.

If I'm asked for my email I have two options. The first is that I'm far too old for those new fangled computer email things The second is the name of the shop @gmail.com
