I would appreciate someone just saying quickly, “oops, wardrobe malfunction!” in a jokey way with eyes covered. I’d hate to discover the open zip later and recall everything I’d done while exposed.

Vegemite on hot buttered toast, mmm.

That’s amazing, thanks!

My favourite way to comprehend it is by time:

A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years

Lots of cuts to fireworks displays, crashing waves etc.

Yup, myPhonak. They’d better be mine, given the cost!

Not even just the hereditary peers - there are also the 26 Anglican bishops, and the politically appointed lords, eg Mandelson. Senators for life, basically.

Too late for me. But thanks for telling me my computer wasn’t good enough for Win 11 and forcing me to install Linux. It was a breeze, and computing is fun again.

I read about Ruby Bridges when I was a child in NZ, it made a huge impression on me.

Love a well-packed baguette.

He’s the head of the military isn’t he? So according to the rules, they must obey him.

Just now posted about him, what a car crash of a guy.

This fellow for starters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.

What worries me is that these Boko Haram arses have kidnapped lots of children and young women over the years - I fear some could be killed in these strikes.

Bluey. I’m an adult and don’t have children. It’s my guilty pleasure.

I’m not talking about rowing machines. I’m out on the water with a crew, hauling on an actual oar. It’s the best thing ever.

Rowing and swimming (in a pool, not because the boat capsized). Both are non weight bearing, easy on the joints. Rowing is excellent for your core.

No, is the answer. Moving to another ISP when my plan runs out. I’m paying extra for a VoIP line and want to move to WiFi calling.

I do a lot of water sports in the UK and we use VHF radios. Certain frequencies are used by marinas and the like, and nearby boats will be tuned into them. Then there is a frequency used for emergency calls - the coastguard listens on that and answers, and will move your call to another frequency for more details, leaving the mayday one open again.

We mainly use VHF for boat-to-boat comms, or boat-to-shore. The local range is decent - a few miles from our base, depending on atmospheric conditions, obstacles etc. I honestly have no idea if you could use VHF radios between cars though. It’s not private for a start - everyone can hear you - and once someone is yammering on the marina frequency no-one else can transmit. So it’s just brief messages with protocols.
