Re: UK Coal Free - 5 days ago

Glad to hear that - setting a good example for us all. I remember having friends in the 1970’s who had coal cellars to burn their own coal. That was banned last year.

Re: Anybody here affected by Helene? Let us know the news - 5 days ago

I’m also here in upstate SC. Just got electricity and cellular data back this afternoon. Spectrum internet is still down. We have a cooler, but had no ice. One of the compartments of the cooler warmed up. We lost a lot of food, as well as hundreds of dollars worth of medicine that requires refrigeration. A couple of pieces of siding came off the side of the house and a tree shed itself

Re: "Delusional and unsettling": Trump forgets there was no debate audience, claims crowd "went crazy" - 16 days ago

There was indeed a debate audience. It was a huge, beautiful audience, the like of which no-one has ever seen. Lots of people are saying they were edited out by deep state Democrat lizard AI. In fact, I woudn't be surprised if they edited out my post regarding

Re: Best way to get started with 3d printing? any good online services? - 5 weeks ago

If you're not interested in a 3D printer, an online printing service is a good idea. The only one I've had experience with (buying a print they had on file, not uploading a print) is Shapeways Creating the file to print, on the other hand, is something I'm not sure of. You could buy a 3d camera and turntable and do it yourself. They don't take up much space. I'm not sure how you'd go about

Re: medicare dental - 5 weeks ago

I have Medicare Advantage through Humana. In addition to the $1,000 included dental insurance, an additional plan for $2,000 more (for about $35-40/month) is available. I blew through the whole shebang by February of this year. It might be worth looking into private dental insurance or perhaps dental discount programs. I've spent so much on premiums over the past few years that my $2,000

Re: we are never, ever getting back together?!....looks like this huge 90s band that abruptly broke up may be reuniting for tour in 2025..... - 5 weeks ago

I have three of their albums. Over time, I concluded that the songs are mostly musical variations on the same theme, the singing (or rather whining) accompanied by unpleasantly distorted electric guitars. I never understood how they became international megastars, while the inventive band Spacehog is known as a "one hit wonder" band. I stopped listening to Oasis a couple decades ago,

Re: BoobTube Tonight?!....Series P: 'The Decameron' / Season P: 'Cobra'__'Troppo'.... - 2 months ago

COBRA is a great show. COBRA refers to Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms, and the show fictionalizes crises that could well happen to first world countries in modern times. It is quite gripping. It deals fairly realistically (in my opinion) with ethical challenges faced by those in charge. I'd give it an 8/10 (I'm surprised by the IMDB rating of 6.5) If you haven't seen the first two seasons,

Tip: Best Buy is a good place to sell your used Mac laptop - 2 months ago

I sold my 2017 Macbook Pro (2.8GHz, 1TB, 16GB) in like-new condition (thanks to an iBlason case and a polyurethane keyboard cover) to Best Buy for $500. That was substantially higher than offers elsewhere, and higher than similar MBPs on eBay. I used the funds towards an Asus Vivobook that was on clearance. Over time, the MacOS has rendered most of my software unusable, and I found myself usi

I saw Bob Newhart about 11 years ago or so, when he was doing a tour of his most recent (to my knowledge) standup routine. He was not available for signing autographs though - "He's in his 80's, and has gone to sleep," per the theater staff. It was a grea

On a completely unrelated topic: There was a cockroach in my living room a few days ago. It was one of those giant American cockroaches. I stood on it, moved my foot around, and pressed as hard as I could. I lifted my foot and the thing ran away unscathed. I guess it wasn't unrelated after all.

Re: The 'Useless' Appendix Is More Fascinating Than We Thought - 2 months ago

I was not aware of the connection to colon cancer, lupus, etc. My understanding from a continuing medical education lecture (20 years ago, so I’m not providing cutting edge state of the art info) is that the appendix squirts out healthy bacteria during bouts of bacterial food poisoning. In poorer countries, appendicitis is relatively rare. With the relatively high safety of food supplies i
