Unfortunately not everyone is as smart as you and would have no idea what the thing you asked for is used for. I'm sure there's many members on here, me included, that surf the forum to see what others are up to, and perhaps pick up some ideas that could be useful for some of their own projects that they might have going. Or even get ideas to solve some problem that they didn't know that there was an actual solution to. It makes the forum more friendly ????

It's polite and makes the question more interesting to give a reason for your request for information. An attitude of "I want to know how to do something but it's non of you business what for" is not really conjusive when asking for help. Giving a little background on what you are trying to achieve will make your post more friendly and possibly get more people interested in bothering to provide an answer. Anyway up to you

Nothing to do with hate. I think "Gays" are delusional about their self importance. Most people don't care about, it's the constant "In Your Face" attitude that riles. I think it's a mistake for the Equal Rights and Equality groups to align themselves with the Gays. These are serious important issues and to be associate together with a frivolous group like Gays will not do their serious cause any good at all. Why do these Gay groups have to constantly remind everyone and themselves how absolutely Gay they are. Is this what defines them, is this what they are, just Gay? I read somewhere someone asked the question "Is being Gay a fashion statement" I wasn't interested in reading the answer but it does seem to have some merit. The Vegans are considered a joke because of their persistence of informing anyone at every opportunity "I'm Vegan" I think the Gays have surpassed that level of annoyance. Is that what defines them? Not I'm an Architect, Doctor, teacher, no the first thing is I'm Gay. How pathetically sad. Many famous characters throughout history have been Gay, but are remembered for their achievements not for being Gay. Sadly the present generation will be remembered for their alternative lifestyle first, regardless of any achievements they may attain. On here there are those who are known for their positive contribution to this forum. We get valuable information from posters about building, electric, medical issues and the like. These posters are known for what they are. Unfortunately, as in life, there are those who are only known for constantly wave the rainbow flag, and not much else. It makes me sad that these "Alternative Lifestyle" groups have hijacked the Rainbow. To kids all over the world the rainbow was a magical wondrous thing with pots of gold to find. Even when Green Peace used the Rainbow it was alright, saving the planet was good. But now the Rainbow has lost it's magic. What can I tell my little girl when she gets all exited about seeing a Rainbow news clip, but then her face drops because of all the weird scary people prancing around like demented clowns. How can I explain a tarnished Rainbow to her sad little face? ????

With all these "Pride" events constantly all round the globe seems like they're trying too hard to convince themselves that they are "so happy" Why not just get on with their own peculiar life style without boring the rest of us.

You mean like Russia that got rid of their monarchy? How do you feel that is working out ? ????

Lots of Crossroads on TVChaos:-

Jesus and the Devil were talking arguing one day ... (Computer Wisdom) Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all of the bickering. Finally God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job." So Satan and Jesus sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But ten minutes before their time was up, lightening suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured and, of course, the electricity went off. Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!" Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became irate. "Wait! He cheated, How did he do it?" God shrugged and said, "Jesus saves." ????

Nothing wrong with Google. I use it quite a lot but asking here gives local knowledge and local experience. It could be argued that any question could be Googled and that would leave this forum pretty empty.????

If you are talking about the search function on here, it's easier just to ask the question again ????

Just a side question. Could I connect a car battery to give my UPS more backup time? I know its no problem actually connecting an extra battery, but could the internal charging unit of the UPS cope with the additional load of an extra battery ?

Did they at least give you a free carrier bag to take home your winnings? Don't know how big 60 million in cash would be but I doubt you could stuff it all in your pockets ????

Seems to be some confusion. According to the linked article "we can expect season 3 is the beginning of 2024." ????

An Irishman went for an interview with one of the major blue chip computer companies. When the interview was over, the interviewer told him that all applicants had to complete a test. The interviewer took a piece of paper and drew six vertical lines in pairs of two on the paper and placed it in front of the Irishman. “Could you please show me a clever way to make this into nine?” After thinking for a while, the Irishman took the pencil, drew a canopy of leaves on top of the three pairs of lines, and handed the paper back to the interviewer. The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not nine!” “Oh yes, it is”, said the Irishman with a broad Irish accent, “Tree + Tree + Tree make nine!” The interviewer returned the paper to the Irishman and asked him to make it 99. After thinking for a long while, the Irishman scribbled up and down the trunks and handed the paper back to the interviewer. The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not ninety-nine!” “Oh yes, it is”, said the Irishman, “Dirty tree + dirty tree + dirty tree make ninety-nine.” The interviewer was now a bit cheesed off, so he decided to do the Irishman once and for all; therefore, he handed the paper back to the Irishman and asked him to make it 100. After thinking for a considerably longer time, the Irishman suddenly grabbed the pencil, drew a little blop on the bottom right-hand side of each three, and handed the paper back to the interviewer. The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: “But that is not 100!” “Oh yes, it most certainly is”, said the Irishman with a much broader Irish accent, “Dirty tree and a turd + dirty tree and turd + dirty tree and a turd, make a 100

In a show of personal wit, three top students were competing in the classroom one morning to gain the status of who is the smartest and most clever. The teacher tried to work it out for them with a challenge to decide the outcome by asking each student to answer the same question using three components in their answer. The first component must be the name of a fruit. The Second component must include something a person wears. The third component must include something a dog can do. The question is: Using the 3 components only, give the best description of an old person The first student was Karen, after a four-minute thought she replied: Raisin Coverall Bark with an explanation of raisin for wrinkles, coverall for the entire old person will be covered with bark being the skins texture: a definition of an old person. The next student was Adam, who was laughing at her stupid answer, and after only two minutes of pause his answer was cleverer than Karen’s which was: Prune trousers sit, Adam knew he had won with his definition of an old person. Finally, it was Johnny’s shot, and without a moments hesitation he shouted really fast: “Cherry Hat Tricks” Johnny aced it.
