  1. Maybe somebody here with my pet peeve with Windows.

    When I visit a news site and click on a story. what pops up is a pic/video first, then underneath it is the verbiage of the story. As I scroll down to read it, the pic relocates to the lover right of the screen and often covers up parts of the story. I then must hit "close" to get rid of the picture.

    Is there any way to stop this?

    Did the calculations on what “fuel” in the form of electricity has cost over the last 40,000 miles that it’s done in the 2 years we’ve had it. 
    Worked out at 1 pence per mile.

    The problem with comparing fuel to power is the fuel price includes all kinds of taxes for roadworks etc. and electricity has no fees for such.

    Ok. I modify my post - Rather than a few weeks to fully charge, maybe half of that time.

    It's an electric car.... the charging cable is coming out of the 1st floor window....

    Spose it's cheaper than charging it at home...

    It would take weeks to fully charge the main battery of an electric car with a household extension cord.

    Just watched a bit on YT….sensational is right….to open with a pink, then have it spotted on the green, and clear up from there only blacks…..OMG

    I’ve  always said snooker at the top level doesn’t get the respect it deserves. In golf, the players are the best, but still make mistakes, and with all their practice, there is still margin for error…eg you can drive into the forest on a par 5, chip out & still make birdie

    Snooker is so exact, it’s not funny….

    Can you give me the YT address so I can watch it pls?

    The Spreckels Lake Model Yacht Facility, commonly referred to as "Spreckels Lake", is an artificial reservoir behind an earthen dam and adjoining clubhouse situated on the northern side of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Completed in mid-March 1904,[1] the reservoir was built for the use of model boaters of all ages, interests, and skill levels, designed specifically for racing model sail and power boats and to propagate the skills and crafts necessary to build and sail competitive model boats of all types. The Spreckels Lake Model Yacht Facility is considered one of the finest examples and one of the most beautiful of the naturalistically styled, man-made model boating facilities in the world and is always open to anyone wishing to sail its waters with few restrictions. The facility is also the permanent home to the San Francisco Model Yacht Club (SFMYC), the organization at whose request[2] Spreckels Lake and the adjoining clubhouses were built and whose history is and always will be irrevocably intertwined with the history of the facility.

    Sorry to hear that, i've stopped taking the Tylenol 500mg, they were doing nothing for the pain when urinating and i don't like taking any meds especially if they're doing nothing to help the pain.

    I'm still taking the constipation meds (Senokot 7.5mg two tabs at bedtime) but they too don't appear to be doing anything, here we are on thursday morning and i have'nt defacated since monday morning despite my food intake remaining the same, no pain though.

    Many years ago, I had emergency surgery to repair a hernia that damaged my colon.

    I was told to drink 4 tablespoons of wheat bran with juice every day and ever since I am never constaped (except when I took the opioids')

    He also prescribed constipation medication as that is also a problem for many Turp patients.

    The problem for opioids that are used for surgery is that they cause constipation. I had bladder cancer and after taking opioids for pain for a few days, I had to go to the ER to get an Enema!

    Never again will I take them.

    sadly having owned a 928, 944, SUVs and a Rolls I am constantly checking porn pages to see if I match up to the norm  5555555

    Nice! I too have owned a 944 and a S2.

    Great cars! I put about 250K miles on the 944 with minimum maintaince but the Rolls was a different story.

    Exactly, sounds like some very high leverage plays, probably explains how he got to $16B in the first place

    From what little I have read, he did have some very successful investments early on, which generated capital to start a Bitcoin exchange/broker. He probably bought coin in the early days when it was almost free, so having coin go up to $68,000 US$ would generate billions by itself.

    He had apparently several hundred ventures going, which in itself will guarantee doom IMHO.

    I think on the small stuff in the UK the A&E can get a group type rating & in the US an A & P mechanic can sign off most things,possibly up to & including 100 hour checks

    I gave a friend who is an A & E, 10% of my Cessna 310, and he did all of the maintenance including the 100 hour and the annual inspection for nothing. 

    He, of course, used the bird occasionally.

    Not sure about puddle jumpers such as this but any maintenance done on heavier stuff has to be certified by a qualified(licensed)tech/engineer.

    It is a specifically worded statement which can send the signatory to jail if he/she is proven guilty of negligence.

    ANY maintenance done on an airplane must be signed off by a certified A&E. If his/her work was at fault, then they are complicit.
