  1. Dear Folks, I need a 32-inch monitor. I would be very satisfied with the BenQ EW3270U 4K HDR.... BUT, I worry about buying from a supplier such as this on Lazada. Here is the price on JIB, a company in Thailand that I trust: What would YOU do? a. Is there a better 32-inch monitor with the same aspect ratio that you would buy instead...for the same amount of money? b. Must be same aspect ratio. c. I have always had very good luck with BENQ quality. d. Obviously, my concern is buying on Lazada. There are suppliers advertising on Lazada that are shipping from China. IF I WERE IN CHINA...then...NO PROBLEMO. e. But, since I am in Thailand, I hesitate to buy from China, since I am too far away from the supplier. And, I have no idea if the supplier might or might not be reliable. IF I were sure about the supplier and the quality of the item being sold (new and completely undamaged)...then....I would be..... HAP, HAP, HAPPY to buy TWO of these monitors at this price...maybe THREE....most likely THREE if I could be sure I were getting NEW QUALITY defect free. I have always appreciated the low-cost and higher quality of BENQ, for instance..... So, any good advice in this case??? I now have sort of an urgent need for this 32-inch monitor. I need to decide what to buy, where to buy, and very soon. Thank you very much. Gamma Note: When I say....Hap, Hap, Happy.... I mean that after my purchase, and for at least 5 years, I want to be singing this tune..... Always happy talking about BENQ.... Need a 32-inch 4K monitor soon..... This will be my dream come true. Tks.
  2. No doubt, the 128K of RAM is still good, though.
  3. When i first read the headline of this Topic, I thought it read: "I spent two hours being a girl to get a new job." My headline is better, I think. Any opinions?
  4. I completely agree. That Mennen traditional stick fragrance is so distinctive that it does bring back good memories of the good old days. Olfactory stimuli are some of the most important and powerful cues which trigger good memories from the distant past.
  5. Has anyone reported the AGE of the son? Seem that this point is CRUCIAL to understanding of this tragedy. If the son were under the age of 12, and a non-swimmer, then this would have been a dastardly deed. However, if the son were a swimmer, and this kind of thing, as a matter of just fooling around, happened regularly, then... This father already is completely devastated by this tragedy. No need to punish the father further.
  6. I only use CAPS for highlighting and emphasis in a very non-threatening way. I suggest all do the same as I. Using caps is far easier than using italics, or other =means= , such as this one. For, example: I really and TRULY love swimming with the fishes. See?
  7. Are you unable to communicate with your Village Headman? Just as him or her to switch from burning these petrochemical products, such as used engine oil...to.... Use of microbes, instead. This is certainly what I would do. Get some good bacteria working for you.
  8. OK. We used the DEC 10, at that time. And so, you can pretty-much pinpoint the year. Mostly for interactive computing. Also, terminal connected from my house via telephone modem to DEC 10, located at the school. Also. For MainFrame: IBM 360/370 Those were the days when Science was King, and so was engineering.
  9. Thank you. I might just buy a stick. If I find one for the right price. This as a great product, and maybe still is.
  10. OK. I will do my best to remain influenced ONLY by evidence-based considerations.
  11. It's possible that the sea conditions were like glass, and the shore apparently only a short swim away. Maybe they were hot, with the sun beating down fiercely, and they just wanted to cool off. It's easy to second-guess others when one is not there, having fun, enjoying the day. Obviously it was not planned. This is life.
  12. Of course, he would not admit any intentional wrongdoing. Also, not speaking the local language well, perhaps the cops did not understand his true intentions. Seems obvious to me. One does not take a child on a holiday outing on a boat, just to commit the unthinkable.
  13. Another beauty....! Also, I recall that I really loved that orange Function button. A long time ago, but I still remember it, as if it were yesterday. Must have made a real impression on me. And, I wish Hewlett-Packard were just the same engineering company it once was, too.
  14. I agree. He had not anticipated the dangers of the propeller under the boat. He jumped in after throwing in his son, thinking the two of them would then swim for shore, as a lark. However, upon seeing the damage done by he propeller, he refused to re-board the vessel, hoping to drown himself in remorse. Truly a tragedy. However, not filicide. And, not the motivations one might sometime read in a Russian novel. Sometimes when things like this happen, it is due solely to lack of forethought.
  15. Triple the salary. She will come. She will come immediately, and... Without all the foreplay.
  16. Well, at least you know the difference between a scent and a fragrance, which is more than I can say for some around here. As I recall, back in the dark ages, I could buy one unit of Mennen for about 99 cents. If not used within two years, they would dry out. I had a few dry out on me while in Taiwan. So, maybe you should take care when storing your stash, just to avoid this drying-out problem. Yes, you are correct: Women really cannot get enough of this fragrance once applied in the proper amounts and places.
  17. Strangely enough, I agree with you, once more. I first encountered this phenomenon when asking some Chinese guy, who had a 4.0 in soft-science courses, how he would factor or multiply equations or variables embedded within parentheses. His entire order of what he was supposed to multiply first, second, and third, was all mixed up, and totally opposite to what is standard form, and logical. Even if one showed him how, he still could not accept the better order, ie which to begin with, and the next. Just another example of what can go wrong when taking up RPN. Maybe this is why there are those who are unable to appreciate the beauty of it.
  18. I left the pulling to them, actually.
  19. Yes. 100-percent AGREE. Those ankle-biters will never become scientists and engineers if they do not immediately get in the swing of things with a good STEM curriculum, and plenty of MATH, preferably using RPN. Just go online, and one can read so many testimonials from users of RPN...that it isn't even funny. Also, the REALLY funny thing is that the critics of RPN, most of them, have never even used it for a year, or so. If they had used it for a minimum length of time, then they would probably understand its advantages, and never go back. But, little minds... You know what they say... Can't teach little minds tricks that might help them improve themselves. One also need not be an engineer to appreciate RPN. But, it helps if one is solving more complex equations. Even if not, then it's just a pleasure to use RPN. And, I have been a convert since the early 1970s.
  20. Old Spice? Now THAT really is detestable. Even more detestable when one tries to drink it. Fit for nothing else, though.
  21. Yes. Thank you. I mentioned this above. And shared an image of the thing. Good on Android and on Apple phones.
  22. You mean Section Eight, if I am accurately reading between the lines.
  23. Actually, I agree with you....BIG Time, as Trump often says. Let me see. When was the last time that I held a stick in my hand? Must be about.... 1981. I used to buy Mennen, the last time anyway, upon my visits to Hong Kong, which occurred regularly, about five-times per year. Then, I though, why bother. As you say, the stick just gets sticky, after application. Fortunately, I do not stink.... Much. Just a waste of money, time, and resources. Also, not too good for expensive shirts, or so I found. Therefore, I do agree with you, for various valid reasons. Note: The only thing is....I enjoy the smell of it, if for no other reason than that of nostalgia for boarding-school days, etc.
