One thing that I find annoying is that it gives results like a teleprinter and so overall takes longer

When I was a kid we threw out our old B&W tv. I wanted to smash the CRT but had heard that they could explode so from a distance I fired several .22 bullets at the screen. They had no effect. IIRC the screen wasn't damaged at all?

Yes, with the 'can' in canola being the first 3 letters of Canada. They though up the name as they reckoned the name rapeseed was problematic from a marketing point of view. I've heard that like all oils that require extensiv

Where I live it goes crazy with road works when it's coming to the end of the year with the council trying to spend the unused budget rather than lose it.

My sister is far far richer and more successful than I am. She once told me that every night the last thing she'd do was to make a mental list of things to do tomorrow. That was it. Nothing written down.

I've read books on it. The 2 million Arabs are the descendants of the 20% of Palestinians who were internally rather than externally displaced, ie the ethnic cleansing was only 80% effective.

Aah, the Palestinians never existed argument, the successor to the long discredited land without people for a people with land one and just as derisory. The actual tragedy here is that Western Powers facilitated settler colonisation to cr

That'll be because it hasn't become a free pass for that. Happy to help.

You need to brush up on your facts as well as your timelines and stop parroting Zionist slogans. Jews formed a very small proportion of the Palestine in the 19th century. It was also never a "British" territory as such. Britain si

Iran isn't Arab and anyway what gives America the right to decide who rules where?

by stormdennis 3y ago
Western meddling in the ME is the cause of much/most of the instability there, not least Britain's enabling of the settler colonisation of Palestine by European Jews. Today America is supplying the munitions for Israel to indiscr

I'm utterly useless but had a crystal set as a kid that worked, main thing was having a decent aerial. I got such a kick out of it even though I could only get one station.

I used to love watching James Burke's Connections on tv as a kid. So much so that when years later I saw his book, Connections in a second hand bookshop I bought it and it sits in arm's length from where I am sitting now, unread.

Not on this scale but it has happened to me on a few occasions that I've lost several hours work for some reason (including no autosaves). After the initial despair I know from experience I need to quickly try and recreate what I'

Football was everywhere (e.g. calcio in Italy) The English codified rules for it but that doesn't mean Aussie rules or Gaelic Football are derivitives of the English game.

I'd like to know what happened to Squash. Up until the mid 90s or so it was really popular. Then it seemed like everyone stopped playing and courts closed left right and centre

Sometime in the 90s, probably, an unflattering portrait of the late Brendan Behan was unveiled in Dublin and was soon christened The unbearable likeness of Behan.

Sometimes buying well means buying cheap. I buy cheap DIY tools. They're good enough for me as a hobbyist. But if I were a professional they be a bad buy. For one, with constant use, they'd wear out too quickly. Secondly while I c

The whole point of TwinBasic is that it's to be 100% compatible with VB6 and with VBA. From that standpoint there's no point comparing it with BBC Basic, Powerbasic, Freebasic, vb.net, purebasic, Xojo or gambas because none of tho

Hopefully it makes a real difference to compensate us for the never-ending, dark pattern cookie notices we have to endure as a result. Who wants a choice of 'Accept all' or 'Manage your settings' on every second webpage
