Shortage of Computer Chips

Just went to Costco and no TP in stock. Who's hoarding it now?

Must be a regional issue, I have gone to both Costco and Sam's Club and was able to get toilet paper.

Jefferson Memorial cleaning

The Washington Post ran these before/after laser-cleaning shots of the Jefferson Memorial. I think it’s remarkable that the bridge in front and the building behind-left were miraculously cleaned at the same time.

Looks photoshopped to me. It would have been nice if the photos were taken from the same perspective (etc) so they would look the same to show an actual comparison.

I use Windows 7 pro. Love it and dread the day when it is no longer feasible to use. My wife has had several issues with auto upgrades for Windows 10 which apparently cannot be turned off..

Amazing, Engineer Bill

If you miss the radio shows you can download apps to your phones to listen to them: Golden Age of Radio, OTR Player (Old Time Radio), plus some others.... OR you can go to the Internet website RadioEchoes.com . There are lots of entertainment to listen to.

Not a clue

It is a vintage chopper... do an Internet search and it will come up to include other styles/shapes.

Two Possibly Interesting Items

They still chalk tires in my town, but the funny thing is, is that they only do it in one area, the parking lot for our courthouse, 2 hour time limit. They have a field day writing tickets....

They do it in Monroe, too. Funny thing was that the "marker" did it while I was getting into my car. I asked him why and his response was "You might change your mind and get back out."

Well if this isn't the cat's meow

I read about this yesterday. Pretty amazing. If her cat had not alerted people, she could have been down in that stream for a long time.
Way to go kitty.🐈
We have three furry felines. Did you know that cats don't meow to other cats? They only meow to people.

Will

I am not sure that is actually correct, or my cat is just "different". She meows at animals on TV, and occasionally at my ferrets when they are running around the room.

What the heck...

I had a pistol grip for my Minolta SRT a while back. It was useful when I was using a telephoto lens. While doing some street shots in Munich (72-76), I was asked to remove it by the Polizei. It seemed there were a few folks who complained, reporting a possible shooter. The Polizei actually laughed about it when I handed it to him.

Probably Not Possible, But I'm Asking

Excellent! Thank You. What does Sep. stand for? "Separator"?

Yes, I usually use a "space dash space", and you are welcome.

Probably Not Possible, But I'm Asking

Is there a way to number a list of files? I know that I can number the whole batch with names like File (1), File (2), File (3), etc. But is there a way to keep the original files names and have consecutive numbers in front of them?

Jerry, you gave up too easily... very easy with Bulk Rename Utility
Highlight the files you want to number
Go to the section titled Numbering (10)
Mode Prefix
Start 1
Pad 1
Sep. is where you put in what you want; such as a space dash space
It will show you what the result will be in the top area where you selected/highlighted your files in the New Name.
If you like what you see, hit the Rename button at the bottom right.

Took me longer to type this then to actually preform the renumbering.

Short article on Win 11

Microsoft has taken the Windows 11 "test" link down due to problems with it.
Microsoft says they will return it closer to Windows 11 release date.
