Politically Correct

PC Once upon a time it ment Police Constable. Still does to me. Makes me laugh that some get upset that I call a man hole a man hole and a fireman a fireman. I'll make it straight with; Who gives a damn who's under the uniform. If you can carry the required weight down a ladder from a flaming buildi...

Re: Nicotine and vape

I'm thinking the history of the word 'fag' got my post deleted. As far as I'm aware (nothing logged), no posts have been deleted/moderated, Alex - but it'd be cool if you'd ease up a little on the expletives. <lights another smoke> "lights another smoke" Krool crool cruel Funny enough, it...

Re: Santa vs Rudolph? Santa loses

Bright light would most certainly hinder. I've driven in fog with snow fall at night. The light reflects right back into your eyes reducing your ability to see. Red fog light to the front would be better for the driver, BUT totally stuff up oncoming traffic. Wouldn't know if your coming or going. Th...

Re: Happy ***

Happy holiday wishes to all of you, wherever you are. My fondest memory of this time of year is when school let out at mid-day before Christmas break. There lived at that time (60 years ago) a tall, white-bearded gentleman who rode down main street in a horse-drawn buggy. He played Santa Claus for ...

Re: Star Wars and sequenced movies

took this off topic but movies are badly acted books anyway... Glad I'm not the only one to think so. Couldn't agree more. Eddings. Mm, Mr and Mrs. Tellers of the stories of Garion. Now that is writing of the highest. Maybe even better than R.E.Fiest. Half a century of library memberships and heaps...

Star Wars and sequenced movies

Yup gotta love them or hate them. 7 so far. I've started to watch them as a back to back movie fest. Had to check a few internet sites to make sure I get them in the right story line order. Wow so many opinions. Not counting Rouge one or 8 The Last Jedi. Haven't seen 8 and Rouge One is well a wee bi...

Re: Just found what i want for christmass

Ever heard of the bad Santa where "I want, I want, I want" is the clarion call for lumps of coal and the sacks of children to be taken and eaten.

By the way Santa good/bad..

I am human and just want. Will infinity fill my wee stocking?

Re: Quantum to Waterfox

I've used Firefox for years. I tried the 64bit version a couple of years ago. NOT GOOD Was my reply. The 64 bit has way too many glitchies using older stuff. My TDM has been 64b for years, still runs 32 great. So guess what I use. yup x86 Newer DOES NOT mean BETTER. If others want to use 128b crash ...

Re: Have I been pwned?

What is "pwned" ?? Really? is there another new language I'll never know or care about? For some sake can't these kids learn that spelling actually carries meaning in a word. Fuck is not one of them. Too many meanings. It has lost it's. Power outs. Anyone remember them? How are kids going ...

Re: An interstellar visitor

As suggested, could be for a race of tiny weeny bods on holiday...
But.. The end over end rotation suggests they didn't come from just one planet.
Nearer the ends suggests some need more gravity.

Dropping less gravity into some posts, sometimes feels compulsory.
