  • Well, Florida is a mess.

    sort of makes me wonder why buried utilities aren't mandatory but I'm ignorant there

    Money, money, money. The cost to underground is multiple magnitudes more expensive. Hence it is normally only done in expensive areas where someone else is helping to pay (developers) or it’s an area of importance.

  • Have You Ever Eaten a Neighbor's Pet?
    R RossMW

    Years ago when the kids were little and we lived in the country on a lifestyle block, the kids had pet lambs for training for school agriculture events. They didn’t end up in the deep freeze but we had to find homes for them to live out their days living on green fresh grass. So the theory went! Probably ended up in someone’s else’s freezer.

    In some places this is a type of scam as because when you answer they hang up. If you ring back the number you can be charged excessive call costs and hence how they make there money.

  • ‘Oumuamua: alien starship or just another piece of rock that farted Hydrogen gas as it left the Solar System?
    R RossMW

    Quote:

    I think they used the Sun as a "gravity assist"

    To travel between solar systems takes light many many years. The technology to do that for a ship, I think, would be way ahead of having to use something as archaic as Gravity Assist. So alien life. I think that would be more of a case of wishful thinking. :confused:

  • Satisfying, round #2
    R RossMW

    I’m in the same situation. One good thing we can do at my work is ease into retirement. Presently I have voluntarily moved to 4 day week, and I can at my discretion drop further days and slowly transition work to other people. After working for nearly 50 years I would hate to go from a 5 day week to nothing all at once. Sounds good in theory but I fear in reality it wouldn’t be. Hence I see this as a training period and readjustment of my lifestyle for retirement.

  • Outlook spell checker thinks I'm not writing US English
    R RossMW

    Oh, I do say Ole Boy, There is only one right and proper English in this world and that is the Kings English. Ones spell checker should always respect and reflect that simple fact. It is such a trifling and awfully embarrassing proposition you make that it should represent anything from the uncivilised colonies.

    I’ll have to admit that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I read this thread. I knew one guy who reminded everyone all the time he was a part of Mensa and anyone else’s opinions were wrong if they disagreed.

  • So ... the new car is booked to go back from whence it came.
    R RossMW

    I feel your pain. I've owned tons of cars since I started driving 50years ago and the two most unreliable cars I've ever owned were both VW. And in that time I have had only one cars give me transmission problem. And yes it was a DCT which had to be replaced under warranty. A few years later it started to show the same symptoms again so we got rid of it. I know people will have different experiences but that is just mine. So now, I would never own a DCT car or a VW or any of its many derivative brands again.

  • CEO/CIO Bloatware
    R RossMW

    The problem is not limited to CEO's. CIO also get sucked into this to justify bigger and bigger budgets for their own self esteem. Interesting Note about BizTalk as I had the exact issue about 10 years ago. When BizTalk gave us issues I told them that if the issue is not fixed before I wrote my own interfaces I would throw it out. My one is still going strong and is extremely reliable.

  • Anyone using a standing desk?
    R RossMW

    Everyone at our work has motorised standing desks. They good even if you don’t use the standing function very often. I have set the heights so that in the standing position I can fit the chair under the desk. The big advantage for the IT support people is they can easily raise the desk for easy cabling underneath.

  • New Zealand goes back into lockdown.
    R RossMW

    What emotional dribble. New Zealand for the last 18 months have pretty much been able to live very normal lives without much concern for COVID. The lockdowns are part of that fight for our freedom! Modern day softies have lost sight of the need to fight and protect your country’s freedoms and are now too concerned with petty self interests.
