I'm sure I downloaded High Sierra at one time, so I should be able to download it again and send it to you on a USB stick. That is, if you still want it.
PM me if the answer is yes.

Educamate me:
#1 is already covered by federal law involving foreign interference in our elections, is it not? The statement is heavily slanted to imply that there has been a considerable amount of foreign interference, either by governments or by groups. Legislative gobblygook. It’s all bad unless we say it’s okay?
#2. Does this mean that religion is above government? Wait, no, it’s

Damn… a ][c ! I….. no, I don’t need that….
There is need… and then there is WANT. For instance, I don’t need a IIe, but I want one. My first computer was a IIe… I’m still ticked about how that went away, and it’s been 15+ years now.

Who wears a watch to bed?
When does she charge it?
I do, to track sleep. I often get less than 8 hours of sleep, most often much closer to 6 hours, and the quality of my sleep is important.
I put it on the charger before I eat breakfast and during my other morning ablutions, taking it off the charger before I head out the door. It takes a bit less than an h

One of my colleagues was telling me that they (a group of Polish students/postdocs) drove to Dallas TX from Oklahoma City OK (3-3.5+ hours thereabouts and about 200 miles away) to vote on Saturday. She was thankful that they didn’t have to go to Houston, another 4 hours away or so. That the people voted at a rate of some 78% and they are pissed at their current government, more so than when the

I have a medication I have to take in the middle of the night. Occasionally, my alarm for that goes off and I wake up, but I can’t remember what it is I’m supposed to do.
An iPhone has the "Clock" app built-in. You can set multiple alarms. You can set it to repeat every day. Each alarm can have a different sound.

Such devices exist. They are called an automatic pill dispenser. Not cheap, by any means, but I’ve been impressed by the company’s service and response:
Medacube
It allows one to set times for the dispensing of drugs, and the correct one at the correct time, in a rather loud voice saying “it’s time to take your medicine”. It allows up to 16 different drugs (default is 12). Set you

In the app for my bank, there is a tab for a transfer between accounts. I have used it between accounts at the same bank… but… could someone set up a transfer between Bank A account, and the Bank B receiving account that the sibling can access?

“See if I care,” said the two year old.
I bet he looks back upon this as a high point of his administration. All the top guns gathered around him, he's the star, he's the Big Man on Campus. He is too narcissistic to realize that everyone was totally exasperated and probably were all thinking that he was a jackass.

I don’t often respond to threads involving religion. However, this is something that all should be concerned about. I know there will be a vocal group who will disagree with this, BUT substitute Islam or Sharia instead of Christian, and I think we have seen this scenario before. The results will be the same; the only difference will be the manner in which the religious laws are upheld, and the

As asked before, are you the IT support? Get what you are familiar with as you will need to know it to explain it, and if you have to learn the other OS in addition to all else you have to do, you are only adding stress onto your life.

Epi in the Epi pens (epinephrine, adrenaline, (R)-4-(1-Hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl)benzene-1,2-diol) , is generally stable when kept in cool dark conditions—don’t expose it to high(er) heat (think hot car) or strong sunlight as it readily oxidizes in atmosphere, turning an orange-red color over time. Of all the Epi pens I have purchased over the years, I have had none do this as I’m sure

This is nothing new. Zyrtec, the allergy drug, is a mix of two enantiomers and has been marketed for long enough it has come off patent. It is otherwise known as cetirizine. Only one of the enantiomers is pharmacologically active. Zyzal is the active form (levocetirizine). I just looked and its generic is also available (didn’t realize that) at 5mg vs the 10mg for Zyrtec (10 mg for the mix, 5 m

And then when you have signed up for Prime, you find that it ships free from the Amazon warehouse, but not if it comes from somewhere else. There will be several of the same thing, but if you aren’t careful you will pick the wrong one and won’t see it until it’s too late. I seem to always land on the page of “somewhere else” first.
Needless to say, I haven’t been impressed.

If the fine is less than the cost to “remedy the problem,” then the fines become just a cost of doing business. If there are substantial fines on top of the remediation cost then others might pay attention.

Wurm,
No problem. Just start at one end and either go forward or backwards, depending upon where you start. This way you have only one direction to go! Since the problem is first seen at the 3-way, this is where I would start. If the problem is upstream to the switch then connecting the two sides won’t start the generator; if it works, then the problem is the switch. Go forth from there.

Another long post.
I'm sorry if this may sound simplistic to some, but from what I have read the OP isn't very comfortable with electronics or electric features present on the generator. As I don't precisely know his level of comfort with other stuff, repair-wise, I will try to be explicit. After all, the request was to dumb it down to a fourth-grade level!

I thought I knew the answer to this question but I will post it. Please let me know what you think.
I have a health savings account. Several years ago they offered to print some minimal number of checks to use, and I took them up on it for the rare event that checks would be more appropriate than a bank card.

If this were artist’s oil paints, I would say try a small amount of colorless linseed oil to thin it. HOWEVER this is NOT artist’s oil paint. The medium used for spreadability can vary significantly from one vendor to another, and as noted above adding something to thin the paint has a distinct probability of altering the color depending on what you use to thin it. It will affect how transluc
