I was recording a video on the Dell, and when I went in to check on it, the screen was frozen - after about ten minutes of recording. It took a while, but I was finally able to shut down Edge. When I restarted it, it was a new version with none of the tabs I had saved at the top. It was giving me the intro to the new Edge. I couldn't open any web sites, so I shut it down. I'll let it sit and try it later. That's never happened before. I'm using Chrome on this iMac.


Apparently the update to Windows bollocks ups Chromium based browsers.

How much is corn on the cob in your area? I won't pay $0.50 for an ear of corn. It was on sale last week - 4/$1.00, so I bought eight. Not great corn, though. There is a local discussion online about the price. A guy said he stopped at a farm stand and was surprised that it cost him $8.00 for four ears. Other people paid $0.79 and $1.30 per ear.

Ethanol is great for the corn farmers and some others, but it's not good for the people.


I buy from a local farm stand and it cost $9 a Dz for fresh corn picked within a day or two. I prefer local farm fresh produce. Btw: Who thought it was a good idea to turn our food supply into a fuel that destroys an engine?

More than 40+ years ago. LunaPro dates to the 1960s. It was the first significant CdS cell exposure meter. Yours might be the SBC version.


It is, moved to this one in 1979.

Huh? Don't see anything in the cropped image that resembles the original!

...and...Is there a question here?


It's a joke, think about it.

My ancient Gossen Lunapro light meter used the 1.35V mercury button batteries (2)but they are no longer made. Gossen made a voltage reducing adapter(no longer sold) which accepted the LR44 alkaline 1.5V button cells and reduced voltage to 1.35Volts . Does anyone have an adapter or meter that has one in it. The Wein 1.4V hearing aid battery works but once in place wears out quickly , even if not used. Thanks.
Stan


When did the Lunapro use button batteries? Mine uses a 9 volt battery and is 40+ years old.

They fell for a trick play that has been in their playbook for quite a while. Do a Google search on "Maskirovka".


A variation of what Washington used to escape from Brooklyn in 1776 and I think it had been used long before that.

I got an email from a friend this morning. Late last night, she saw a car parked on the road, and a young woman walking up and down. She went out to see if she was okay. She had an argument with her boyfriend, and she threw his keys out the car window. My friend got her metal detector and helped her look, but after midnight, they still hadn't found the keys. I don't know where the boyfriend was, and I don't know what happened to the young woman. I'll have to see how the story ended. That was a real test for the boyfriend. Haven't we seen that happen in lots of movies?

I remember once almost 50 years ago a buddy and I were driving up a street at speed at a woman in front of us jumped out of a moving car because she was having a fight with her boyfriend, she was a mess.

As a continuation of the predicament the Nevada water situation is in, the water district is still paying $3.00 per square foot to replace natural grass with something else. Now many people believe this is good because it saves water, right? But replacing natural grass with plastic turf is wrong in so many ways; You lose the carbon capture of the grass, you kill the earth under the plastic turf so no insects can survive beneath it, You expose more plastic to the sun and get polluting vapors, rabbits have nothing to eat etc. So let's hear how the global warming extremist elite view this one! Is there a universal agreement?

That and have you ever tried to smoke plastic? Yuck.

The gas used in the 1930's was "manufactured gas" made from coal. It was literally poison to breath. Today's natural gas is non toxic. In NYC the regulations for natural gas in Public schools is one of the strictest in the country, maybe from the previously discussed tragedy. The safety controls and procedures used are redundant, redundant and redundant for good reason. Till this day no work can be done on gas lines or equipment with students in the building.


"Today's natural gas is non-toxic" Ollie? I don't think that's right, I'm pretty sure in a closed environment filled with nat gas you will die.

Ok, I'll have to go on your suggestion. I have never been to a cricket match. I have seen bits and pieces of a match on TV, but never a complete match.


Current test match cricket matches last 5 days, there was also a version called timeless test which had no set time limit.

While out the other day I came across this old, tiered seating. I knew immediately what I had planned to do with it. Since it is too hot to be outside now, I thought I would goof off in PS.


Must be from a cricket match, some of them seem to last forever.

I am not sure your assertion: “The birth rate and a******n have nothing to with the topic of crime.” is correct.

There is evidence that the overall crime rate decreased after the advent of a******ns in the ‘70’s. Genetically carried and inherited predispositions for criminal actions were eliminated (aborted) and the potential for any offspring to commit similar criminal activities was eliminated.

There is evidence this is the case:

And:
https://law.stanford.edu/publications/the-impact-of-legalized-a******n-on-crime-over-the-last-two-decades/

From which: “Donohue and Levitt (2001) presented evidence that the legalization of a******n in the early 1970s played an important role in the crime drop of the 1990s.“

Nonsense. Sounds like the argument of eugenicists in the early 20th century for aborting minorities and was expanded on and used by the N**I's. Based upon this argument the midwest and south where a******n is almost banned would be a criminals paradise and the big cities controlled by progressives and a******n is encouraged would be nearly crime free. Lastly, if a******n is the answer to crime problems then why are progressives opposed to retroactive a******n "execution" for criminals?
