Well, I have no right to be writing this, as we sure don't know each other, BUT I hope the remaining days/hours of this trip you are taking are a whole bunch better! Your next update will delight us with great information about a great change in fortune, yes!!?

Good gosh, this getting old business can sure be interesting sometimes. Well, maybe that "getting" word is misinformation. Still, that link you put up, sdbardwick, sure kicked in some memories from back then. And how I could forget the name 'Space Invaders' - - - well, just feeble brain power, I...

That post up there about needing a passport to go to Canada was/is quite a surprise to me. I haven't been in North America since about 1977, so I haven't had to go from U.S. to Canada, but I . . . well, last I remember I was probably active duty and just showed a driver's license and the...

Interesting point about static electricity being a possible problem. Thank you for bringing that up. Never thought of it and will study that. As for that metal box idea, I started wrapping all my USB sticks in aluminum foil many years ago. I don't remember what got me started doing that as it...

jtr1962, you covered a lot of ground in your thoughtful responses, but I would like to ask what you think folks that live outside of urban areas should do for transportation? The kind of areas where local bus transportation isn't commercially viable? Now we can't suddenly un-invent the...

I watched the "WerbeVideo" you posted, ddrueding, and I admit he seems quite good at troubleshooting, but one thing I have a problem with; I would like to have seen the inner winding of the strands of any of those wires/cables in that connector. Why? I have had some experience with some...

I got too carried away with those other posts the last time I was able to focus on this topic and had wanted to focus on your post, sedrosken, but maybe ran out of time or something. Point is, I'm a tad late on this one. You see, the big production as of late is that fracking stuff, but that...

I hope that "like" thingy works this time after I log out. I tried to "Like" Mercutio's post yesterday, maybe yesterday; but just now saw no Likey thing. Oh well, these various software platforms do tend to get all human like (my wife) and do little glitchy things and that makes it so fun for...

Do you mind if I toss out the political thought process and ask a question? How many of those folks that are so heavy-duty-cool at making speeches about "clean" and "green" have ditched having a personal vehicle? How many of those super high profile folks that are supposed to have influence on...

When the vocabulary "clean" is used in relation to energy I have to ask whether the individual that wishes to be honest about using the word "clean" --- as in where the special raw material is coming from to make all that fancy "clean" energy stuff --- is that aspect of the overall picture...

The search engine here informs me that using the search term "USB" is too short, or some such information. Even when it is added to other words. So I have been going through various threads and found this: I am needing to learn and this relates to archiving using USB sticks back more than ten...

I see I am too late to use the edit tool, so let me do it this way: I should have typed ... cannot in any way be compared ... and an apology for not properly checking my post in a timely manner. Very careless of me.

Okey-dokey, I should get back to the simple "comparison thing" and that "comparison thing" is that 2025 in the U.S. of A. can in any way be compared to 1933 in Germany. The first vocabulary that jumps out of my feeble mind is "vibrant democracy". Now the qualifying word "vibrant" is assuming I...

I've had a very odd relationship with Google since about a year before they launched the email tool. I am still a member of a very small group of folks that have all had some connection with Google in the work sort of aspect of it (weird vocab usage there; sorry) - - - a couple in the group are...

Interesting to see that thought process about SoftBank, as I had an interesting skirmish with them last year and eventually had that brought to a close that was not so bad for both them and I, but only after a gentle bit of a push from the CEO and the assigning of one of their smarter management...
