My Acurite says 114˚, the car says 104˚, The old bulb mercury says 103˚.
And a man with two clocks doesn't know the correct time (unless he's at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) ... :laughing: But just looking at the old mercury thermometer should make you feel cooler!
Nice hat, Don! Paint a big toothy grin on that respirator and you could scare all the neighborhood kids while you're running your tractor. :laughing:
Drew, a few years before I retired, the company I worked at switched their Unix email servers over to Microsoft. I had about fifteen years of email on those old servers, and they'd never skipped a beat. During the four MONTHS it took to make the change over, hundreds of people were with out email service for WEEKS, and many people including myself, LOST YEARS of archived email. It was an unmitigated disaster. And all Microsoft could do was shrug their shoulders and say something like "Sorry about that, Chief". I don't allow any Micorsoft products through the door here, and haven't for many years. I don't think my computing or Internet experiences suffer at all as a result. In fact, I find it much easier to get done with what I need, and spend much less time on maintaining the computers. Oh, and my newest is a 2013 era Macintosh PowerBook Pro, and I'll probably be using it as my main machine for at least another three or four years. And yeah, like many folks, I had to use Windoze machines at work. :yuck: I was good at it, but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it.
As for privacy in email, forget about it. Anything you put on the Internet (including everything you do at TBN) is fair game for any junior high school kid with a smart phone. Not to mention the CIA, NNSA, and hostile nation equivalents too numerous to count. If it's really private, don't put it anywhere on the 'net, seriously consider not putting it on any computer, and keep it under lock and key in a fire proof vault.
If you, like me, have way too many passwords to remember, try a password manager. They'll store your passwords for you, and all you need to remember is the password needed to open the password manager. Most will automatically generate secure passwords for you, and use them to log into your favorite web sites with just one click. Some can even synchronize the password file between your computer and smartphone. The one I use and like is called 1Password, which has been giving good service for four or five years now.
Kyle, what's the name of that condo complex? I wanna keep it on hand in case I'm forced off my place here! :laughing::laughing::laughing:
Drew, was that pickup parked outside Kyle's friend's Dad's condo?
That said, Drew, after my recent experiences, I assure it is MUCH easier to live without a woman than it is a computer!
And thanks for letting us know Buppies is OK. Summer's probably peak season for paving work, huh?
Eric, I'd gladly keep my elevated chance of skin cancer in exchange for not having to scratch behind my ears with my foot (not to mention what dogs have to do with their tongue)!
Got the transmission cleaned and a few other things taken care of prior to installation, but got called off by some phone calls that ended up occupying most of the rest of the day. Volunteer work, and good stuff, but the timing could have waited for the hotter portions of the day.
As expected, the foreign transaction I made Friday was declined Monday and I had to contact the supplier and ask them to try again after making what should have been the proper arrangements with the bank. Today they did, and again the transaction was blocked. So again I had to call the bank to explain the situation. Except now the exchange rate had changed, and not in my favor, which resulted in an extra $40 charge. I had to speak to a supervisor to get them to cover the difference, and I'm not holding my breath to see the promise fulfilled on my statement. Has anyone anything good to say about their bank these days? Surely there must be something better out there than Bank of America!
Happy Hump Day, everyone!
