Re: Walter Koenig, the Russian Crewman Chekov on 'Star Trek,' Dies at 90

He made a good villain because he wasn't played as a villain, he was a man who believed in what he was doing, that it was right. He was smug and superior, but he thought he was on the right side of the story. Thats what made him so good as a villain, the fact he didn't see himself as villainous. And...

Re: General Error

I've been noticing the SQL error pop up with increasing frequency, sometimes when I try accessing the site, sometimes when I try to follow a link to a new page.

No noticeable pattern I can see.

Re: New Amazon validation / verification system...

I'm UK based and made Amazon orders yesterday and today without any issues - no new system here. Maybe they're doing the "roll it out to a small selection of customers turning them into unsuspecting beta testers" thing.

So what was this new process?

Jimmy Carter

Not sure if this should go in Politics or not (Mods, please feel free to move it if you think so), so I've put this here:

YouTube video on Jimmy Carters leadership style, and how his time in the USN shaped it, thought some of you might find it interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-QdTiEGeqs

Password warning

I just got an alert from Google saying "some of your saved passwords were found online",and this site was one of those flagged up as "at risk" I've changed my password, so hopefully issue sorted, but if my TBO password was somehow at risk, maybe others are too? Don't know enough ...

Re: Alternatives to Office 365 and Adobe acrobat

MS Office 2024 sold a standalone non subscription version (MS Office Home and Business 2024), if you search for that you can still pick it up. I believe you can still find some of the older versions out there too.

Re: Crossing One of the Bobs

I have had cataracts surgery on both eyes, and based on that experience here are some tips: They won't do both eyes at the same time, they'll do one - wait for it to stabilise - then do the other (that way in the - very unlikely - event something goes wrong they don't mess up both eyes).

Re: Picked up a Model Y

Glad no one was hurt. The good thing is that the airbags went off (been in a crash where they didn't), and I'm guessing that the crumple zones worked as advertised, so at least you know that model protects you when things go wrong.
