    The Secret Service - fit for purpose?

    I first thought it was a spectacular failure, but heard one thing that puts that in doubt. The Secret Service snipers knew that the building in question was being used as a staging area for local PD and SWAT. There could have been some confusion as to whether the shooter on the roof was a SWAT...

    Euromillions lottery and luck

    I'm quite sure you're correct. Casinos are likely why we don't have a state income tax though. 😁

    Euromillions lottery and luck

    So how much was the prize (we don't have a lottery here)? Was it a single $100 or are all the matched numbers cumulative, so $1,000? Congrats either way!

    If a record is more than 5 years old write it down by 20% per year until £0, (but by months)

    I also don't understand the 5 year bit, but the bumpiness makes sense. If you just record depreciation once a year, your monthly financials will understate the expense for 11 months and overstate it for 1. FWIW, I would probably record each month's depreciation into a table, rather than just...

    Euromillions lottery and luck

    Euromillions lottery and luck

    My cars been stolen

    Many years ago I bought a new car and gave my old car to one of my daughters. She parked it in a University parking lot, from which it was stolen. It was found in a field and towed. It had been stripped of some vital parts (popular model with kids, a Honda Civic Si). They didn't tell me...

    Welcome to the site Stephen, and thanks! I always preferred the way Smart Indenter worked and was disappointed when I switched to 64bit Access and lost it.
