Day 1 I’ve completed my first full day of fasting! Now into day two, and so far I haven’t felt any overwhelming urge to eat—though I’m not sure how I’d hold up if someone started frying bacon nearby. To manage cravings, I’m drinking plenty of water. When the urge gets strong enough that I feel...

Google Chrome has suddenly—without warning—stopped me from downloading ZIP files from the internet. These are my own files! Some are ones I’ve uploaded and shared on Access World Forums (AWF), others are hosted on my digital download provider’s site, and Chrome blocks them all. So what now—do I...

What’s with this Big Brother attitude from Facebook? A message popped up in one of my groups saying “join a black discussion something,” and I don’t want that in my group. I don’t want Facebook inserting posts without my permission. I should be able to delete it and ban them, just as I would...

Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty disillusioned—and frankly, fed up—with helping people. Just this week, someone ran into an issue with one of my downloads. The problem was partly on their end (they’d set the ID field as text instead of AutoNumber), but in the process I discovered a bug in my...

Struggling with SQL Statements I’ll admit it—I can’t write SQL statements with ease. And I suspect many other MS Access developers face the same challenge. The reason is simple: we rarely need to. MS Access provides a fantastic interface that makes building queries straightforward, so most of...

I’ve got a question that I doubt anyone will be able to answer: Who once said—“It might be fun for you and me, but it’s no fun for the beetles”?

The shelves have been bare of flour for weeks now—where has it all gone? Does anyone know what’s happening?

The Painful Truth | Jordan B. Peterson Dr. Peterson offers a fascinating perspective on democracy and why every individual has a vote. It’s not simply about the “right” to vote—it’s about ensuring the process reflects the collective social morality of the population. One of his striking...

Here’s some light reading for your evening: dive into this excellent two-part article. You’ll find the link to the second part conveniently placed at the bottom of the first! http://rogersaccessblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/intellectual-adventure-using-ms-access.html

In my tagline, I’ve included a quote from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson that contains the title words of this thread. Peterson often emphasizes that he doesn’t lie. So, is this statement a lie, the truth, or something in between? The line in question is: “in a world where there is no right or wrong…”...

Picking up on Sac’s comment about Alex Ferguson in the introduction section (pop in and say hello!), it struck me that we often talk about scientific genius—but is that the only category? Surely there are other forms of genius: Sporting brilliance Organizing and leadership skills Artistic or...

If you’ve read Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy, you’ll probably find this YouTube video especially intriguing!

A compelling narrative detailing a woman's experience working in a role analogous to a call center environment. Listening now. http://escapepod.org/2020/01/30/escape-pod-717-listening/

I came across a quote from a journalist who said he couldn’t understand why Prince Harry is taking legal action against the newspapers. Honestly, that’s baffling. If my mother had died under the weight of relentless press attention—even if the connection was indirect—I’d do everything in my...

“Men tend to show higher levels of disagreeableness than women.”

For reasons unknown, my Google Home Mini suddenly decided it needed to announce itself. Out of nowhere, it launched into a stream of useless information—and no matter how firmly (or even rudely) I asked it to stop, it refused. The only solution was to pull the plug. Now it sits on the window...

https://archbishopcranmer.com/teacher-throws-student-out-of-class-for-insisting-there-are-two-sexes/ I’m a bit confused—I’ve always thought there were only two genders. Is this simply a misunderstanding about how the term gender is being used? From watching Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, I gather...
