We weren't given the choice in the matter. So while we had to pay we also had to use the company contracted to do it.

Re: 57 - 43
Well done, All Blacks (an ironical name in a racial context - which is unavoidable in ZA.)
There is no doubt that NZ has a motivated rugby team with great coaches.
They also have a nation that stands 100% behind the team - no matter how many persons of colour are playing.



I wasn't talking rugby, but I think we all know that.

Well, not seriously pissed off, but.

Posted some old farm pictures on FB which turned out to be wildly popular. Most comments as expected, but a couple of people speculated that one of them looked like a mule. Considering I lived with the people that owned them (parents and grandparents) I should know.

Anyway, after either ignoring the comments, or suggesting that the animal in questing was, indeed a horse, I looked at the post today where someone (I'll call him Bob) said something like, "Wow, a Cyldesdale and a mule. What a combination!" To which someone responded, "So it IS a mule then!"

I just responded, "If Bob says so....."

Then there's reading comprehension....I can't count the people who read the description and still thought my grandfather was my dad. I'm old and all, but sheesh.

Couldn't let this thread get too far won the list...
Dishonest people who sell firewood. They say it's "seasoned" but a moisture meter on a freshly split piece shows 35+ % moisture. 20% is appropriate for burning. Some dump a load that is said to be a cord but after they are paid and gone the wood stacks up to 3/4 cord. Next trick is to bring a pickup load that appears to be the amount ordered but there is 4-6" of bark in the bottom of the bed. Some ignore a buyer who wants to bring a moisture meter when buying wood. I've found more to be dishonest than honest. My Dad used to cut firewood and he went overboard to be sure the customer got their money's worth. Caveat Emptor!

Then there's the "face cord". It's a stack eight feet wide and four feet high (so far so good) but only as deep as the pieces themselves - usually 18 - 20 inches.

A full cord is eight feet by four feet by four feet.

Caveat Emptor, indeed.

What is is about funerals?
One of the things I've seen surprisingly often is the frequency of weird behavior around funerals. Normal, agreeable siblings, for example turn into greedy monsters, etc, etc. Once upon a time, I'd expected people to be understanding and generous in grief. But not often enough.

So my aunt, who'd been wasting a way with cancer for several months passed today. Her wishes, I think out of COVID concerns, was for a small, private funeral with only immediate family, to be followed, when safe, by a larger celebration of her life, open to friends and family.

So, her three daughters put their heads together, and in contradiction of her wishes, are doing a full viewing, funeral and burial open to all, apparently because two of my cousins' friends want to see her "one last time."

I don't know about anyone else, but to me, last requests are a sign of love and respect for the person. So IMHO, there's that, plus she's as emaciated as a concentration camp victim and they're risking turning this into a super spreader event. But hey, i won't be there.

What is pissing me off
I have been sent to hell know what in the cheering me thread. Deliberately ostracised. Typically not talked to, avoiding my company, and acting as if I no longer exist. I am a victim and have been treated as though I am completely invisible and inaudible.

Is there a way for me to redeem myself and be un-ejected from all you cheerful people.

I went to look back at the ejections. All perfectly justified at the time, five or six people were acting like dicks, wasting at least one moderator's time. All of them have been ejected from several other threads, so there is history.

I've 'un-ejected' three of those from the cheering-up thread. I hope that cheers you up...

Software updates While I was away from home for a few days, an operating system update came in and ran when I restarted the computer. Now the boot loader is messed up. Previous ways to fix it aren't working. Guess I'll be working on computers while the plumber is fixing the shower.

I feel your pain. My < $1000 DIY basement shower project turned into a $5K get-to-know-your-plumber-well project.

Better luck with your IT skills.

So I go to replace the washers in the shower that are always wearing out, resulting in drips (or streams) of wasted water. When I turn off the main valve to the house - nothing happens!

I suppose it's good to know in case of emergency that I can't shut off the water. So there's that. However, this job is beyond my basic plumbing skills so I am currently waiting for the plumber to show up with a new valve.

I guess this is a good problem, though. It means I have a house to live in. So no complaints, really.

So, day starts reasonably good....

Go to my coffeemaker to fill the carafe with water.....I swear it's leaking, but how?

Look closer at it, the bottom of the carafe is cracked, just enough to leak.

Just bought the danged thing last month, had to buy this as our old favorite was discontinued. The carafes generally cost as much as the machine (an inexpensive 4 cup model...).

On the bright side, I have one in the office, so effectively caffeinated. 8)

Zoom fault and no help from Zoom.
I have acquired a new tablet (Surface Pro 3). I installed Zoom - I use this once or twice a week to contact friends etc.

Zoom cuts my camera view exactly in half, but fits that to the 16:9 frame. The camera works perfectly by itself, in Whatsapp and Skype.

Unless I pay a ransom to Zoom, there's no way of getting any information from them to help sort this out! Grr...

Pissed off because today there was sun and acceptable temperature and I would have liked to go out for a ride on a scooter but I am in the "red zone" and it is forbidden to go out with motorcycles and scooters; only cars and for special cases, food supply or health problems ...

That's a bit of an older unit though still it should work. Hopefully it's not Win 8.1? That OS is right up there with Windows ME.

You can adjust video settings in the application and play around with that by toggling original ratio and HD.

If using the application try the web version or vice-versa. It could be you've already tried all that but thought I would throw it out there.

Lastly may as well make sure you have the latest drivers/firmware.

It's W10, fully updated. Tried all the delete/reset/debug stuff I can think of. The Zoom support bot is hopeless.

Zoom works perfectly on my W7 2011 Lenovo laptop, and even in XP Virtual PC.

Just not on this tablet. I note the colours are all way off as well.

Hey-ho, I've better things to do than worry about this.

Called roadside assistance for my wife who got a flat tire from running over a spiked wire. The dummy that showed up had a small wrench cross bar wrench that didn't the right size socket on it. He rounded over all five of the lug nuts on my rear tire. I have a claim in with my roadside assistance provider to have them all replaced.

Rounded all five?!? Headache emoticon

Reminds me of my current Escape. The dealer I bought it from (used) had replaced the tires and brakes, and on installation must have just used full torque on a rather high quality impact wrench. *I* rounded off almost all 20 lug nuts taking them off. Replaced forthwith with solid nuts. (The originals were that nut-with-a-cover sort of thing. I have no idea why they do that.)

Didn't the car come with a lug nut wrench that fit the nuts on the car?

That would be simple economics. The nuts with caps on them are simply cheaper to make. If they save $0.10 per nut and there a re 20 on each car that's $2.00 savings per car and if Ford did that on even half of the approx. 2 million cars the built in say 2019 that would be a savings of $2,000,000.

Now if given a choice you or I would gladly pay $2.00 more for the car to get the better nuts, but if you stop to think how many parts are included in every car there might be hundreds or thousands of places that they have made similar choices to keep the price down.
