Spending half the morning tearing apart a laptop trying to figure out why the Ethernet port will not make a connection to the internet. Link lights OK, IP information all good, everthing point to making a connection. Finally figured out the two ports on the switch I use for testing both conked out overnight!!! I was about to load that laptop up and take it to the rifle range and install some extra cooling holes in it!!!
 
Colourised (or colorized, for our US cousins) pictures.

Why? Just why? The colours are usually off, not always by a lot, but it's usually quite noticeable. At least, have the courtesy of labelling them as fakes so that less knowledgeable people don't take your guesses as fact.
I completely agree.

Half the time, a colorized photo looks like a vintage lithograph with speculated colors - I hate it and wish they'd leave them alone...
 
For the third nation wide emergency test in a row, my cell phone never went off yet my wife, who is sitting across from me receives it on hers; the identical iPhone 8. Apparently I have been chosen not to receive the warning of impending nuclear war and will die alone outside the bomb shelter doors
 
Does the kid make his own money? I'm sure my Dad thought $4.95 for an Aurora Zero or Hawk P-51 was dumb, (he grew up in the depression) but he didn't say anything as I earned the money.
 
Thanks - I know things could be worse, but then again, things have been worse for quite a while and "better" would be very welcome right about now. Sort of like hoping for some rain after a long drought, you know?

Don't think that it hasn't crossed my mind...

Wouldn't do any good.
They started this "renovation" after the Carr Fire purely with the intention of gouging - some of the eviction notices went out while the hills were still burning.
All the tennants in my building were long-time renters and several of the units that saw the occupants evicted are ready to rent for $1,050 a month, up from $750 a month. :mad:
Sorry to hear about that. All some people care about is money. It's ok to care about ones finances of course but not when they are hurting other people to accomplish their goals.
 
My drummer and close friend had to cancel practice this morning because for about the tenth recurance of a life threatening internal infection that was originally kicked off by getting some contaminated mesh from China in a hyrnia surgury about 10 years ago. It's been all over the news a couple of times in the last 5 years or so. I guess thousands of people were affected.
Well he just went through a major new surgery 4 weeks ago where they pulled out the old mesh, cleaned everything up, and put in new. We all had our fingers crossed that this would solve his problem once and for all. Now the infection is back again. 😟
 
My kid spent $80 on a Monogram B-29.
I never have that kind of spending money.:mad:
I had the Monogram 1/48th B-29 when I was a kid...paid for with Newspaper delivery earnings.
Built it and had it hung from the ceiling courtesy of Molley-bolts.
When I expressed a desire to get the Monogram B-36 (also in 1/48th) I was told flat-out that it was not an option.
