      Or they may answer; is it the questioners fault or gods that he doesn’t know the answer? Also if he would of waxed his arms, God may of given him the answer. Either way no one should give this hair heaven answer untill he 1.waxes and 2 accepts the lord.

      Yahoo has been crap for years. I fear for Flickr. Luckily  they wax.

        I always thought it a given your browser and extensions was leaking data. Not something I’m overly concerned about tbh. I only have a few extensions, and funny enough the ones I trust the least are the ones that claim to help, like flash toggle ext and add blocker, that I don’t like  having installed, (I think it’s morally wrong) , but sadly needed on some systems.

          For rust protection. A light coat of a light oil after you have clean any rust off will protect them. About once a year.

            Evapo-rust is the best, hands down. White vinegar is also very good, and cheap. Will take longer than Evapo-rust (about twice), and will etch the metals, so vinegar is a balancing act. Depends on how well you want to preserve the items. Given its blown up shrapnel, I’d go with white vinegar at about £1 litre, and a wire brush.

            There is no brush or effort needed for Evapo-rust, it’s like magic. And is water based and doesn’t smell.

                Hope your face is ok too, I’m currently waiting for a hospital appointment to have my 4 wisdom teeth out. Only been suffering with them for 9 years!

                With regards to spam I’ve only ever seen one or two since we have been live. I’ll keep a closer eye out from now on.

                  My trip computer is a off by a big margin. It reads  38mpg average, but I track my miles with an app and I’m actually getting 32mpg. If I do alot of motorway driving I’ll get 40mpg. But my norm is 32mpg, between full ups.

                  However I rarely go under 2500rpm?

                  Though around 55mpg sounds about right in that car, unlike a deisel that small petrol will perform around town, and suck economy wise when you need to push it on the motorway, or worse the car country lanes. Though mine never gets above 12mpg (on the trip, so probably 8 in reality) when I get to play in the lanes, when it goes dark. Dark cos that’s where I am you can see oncoming cars. I drive sensible in the day time. But still the mpg isn’t good.

                   

                  I use Fuelio app to monitor my miles. It’s very good.

                    Being a bit young at the time, to be in the know, I always thought he was seen as a good present.

                    Though him and Nancy’s did have a hard on about drugs. Even though the industry was propping up floridas economy.

                    Trump is crazy, but I like a bit a crazy when it’s not running my country. He is sort of against some of my more socialist leaning views, but in all honesty, I think he is more left leaning them them around him, so in a way I think it could be worse for them if he wasn’t there.

                    It’s a bizarre set up. Sometimes I like what he says, as it’s so left field (not political left, just bat shit left), then sometimes the shit he says is just metal bat shit. Either way, its all fun for me. If I didn’t watch him, I’d only have to look at TM and brixit. So I’d welcome a bit of comedy if I’m honest.

                    The main thing I don’t like, is the way the world is swinging form centre politics to right wing. I honestly think Trump is actually keeping gov more centred that it would like to be. Which as a statement seems metal, but I think true. TM would love I think to swap roles with him.

                    However we (as a globe)  do seem to reverting back to insular politics in a time where boarders should be falling. Imaginary Boarders in the future are going to be our downfall.

                      I find I quite funny that all the normal people have been buying up the smart tvs, and the geeks on the whole, are sceptical. It’s a total revers to most other tech items.

                      They love to push for an answer, I don’t want to give too, inevitably I’ll answer, why I’ve yet to get one and they always get a bit offended as they think there tv is the dogs.

                      Clunky ui, slow cpu, low support, broken apps, spying scandal, builtin end of life, all on your dime. A smart box and dumb tv is half the price. Especially when you point out the majority of tvs all share 1 or 4 (iirc panels oems), so the picture is all but the same if the tvs is bought I’m the same year and the same res.

                      (ot mine are new or expensive. Ever since the 4 oems got done for unfair practice (cartel) I’ve just bought cheaper tvs. Before that you could by a 38″ tv for under £700, now that price is £200.

                      It’s actually a great way to get the wife to make us leave at the next appropriate moment. Lol.

                        Cool card, but by modern standards that is a mini. My 970 is about twice the length. My amd5850 was even bigger than my 970. The kids use to use it for sledging when the snow come. Lol.

                        My 970 I had to “mod” my case to get it in, dremel style. Minus one drive cluster bay it fits.

                          I don’t own a smart tv for this reason. Looking at threads regarding this issue, it seems that alot of tvs as their hardware gets old the apps get yanked, which was the main concern I had about smart tvs.

                          Tbh all the family and many friends have smart tvs, and I’m yet to use one that gives a decent experience.

                          Give I use smart boxes, I wouldn’t be put off from buying a smart tv, but I wouldn’t use the smart side of the tv, so it being smart wouldn’t make me choose one over anther non smart. I’d rather buy a cheaper dumb tv.

                          All I’m interested with is a decent picture, 3+ hdmi, and a powered USB port or two. Everything else, I couldn’t care less.

                          I’m into cutting edge in almost everything I play with, but with cutting edge comes issues, bugs, and breakages. I learnt long ago, for my tv I want simple, I don’t want to have to trouble shoot a TV media system when I want to “veg”.

                          It’s the reason the pc media player has gone, as has plex and mostly Xbmc has gone to. When I want to veg, I want to turn the tv on and it just work. Roku and amazon just work, and relatively cheap to replace when their hardware starts showing age. A tv should be a 10+ year device, I don’t want obsolescence built in.

                          Tbh our tvs have dwindled, they are now mainly used for console use. Most of us use phones and tablets for media consumption. I even watch the footy on my phone more often than not.

                            Water and not turning off, letting it shut down, is a recipient of component death. I doubt it will work right, if at all again.

                            New light ultra books that sealed batteries are doomed to die this way, as there is no way to quickly kill the PC in an emergency. Same issue as most phones have.

                              Davinci resolve is a free* very powerful and simple video editor. Blender more powerful but has a steeper learning curve.

                              The suit isn’t free, so don’t dl that. You get two options.

                                I alway do the folder and link method. If your scared of opening up all your photos/files. Open a new Gmail just for this use.

                                I don’t, I use my main account, however I’ll always say in their access will be revoked in 7 days. I usually leave the link open for 14 just incase. Then I’ll revoke their access, and move/delete whatever is to be sent.

                                 

                                You could always use tonedo to share files off your PC, which is a great app for simple quick sharing. I use to use it alot. Pre easy share with Google docs.

                                A side note push bullet is a great app for personal sharing.

                                    Cant go wrong with the G line. Though you may want to check out the latest E too. Of they do a 16gb version, that would be more than enough for her.

                                    Unless she wants a larger phone.

                                        Cough,  religion. Personally I can’t rap my head around in the concept, but many well educated do.

                                        Not picking on Asians, as it’s not just them, but I recall a beeb doc of all these Asian  teens that wanted to become doctors (people of science) who was all heavily religious. Now that I can’t wrap my tiny mind around.

                                        Maybe it’s me how is wrong, I don’t go in churches often, usually in foreign countries as I do like the architecture, and they are always a good place to cool down. However in the uk, ours are not designed to keep heat out, and I always end up melting.

                                        A few weeks ago at the wedding I attended, it was roasting in there, and as usual  I started to melt by the end (Catholic shindig). Outside the wife asked if I’d noticed I always end up sweating on church’s , and it’s probably because I don’t believe and the door to hell is opened for me.

                                        If it is all true, she may have a point.
