Actually, it can work quite good with one partner lefthanded. Had a lefthanded girlfriend once. It worked quite well in some situations.... Sorry for off topic attempt at humor.

That depends entirely which browser you are using. Only Vivaldi will "appify" a website that I know of. And what is the advantage of thus created "app", that will only open a customized version of the browser directly to the webpage, versus opening from bookmarks.

A true story: During WW2 when German army besieged Stalingrad for several months, the defenders were almost starved to death. In the end they had to resort to consume their pets, all the stray dogs and cats. When all the cats were gone, there was an explosion in rodent population that poisoned and ate most of the grain in stores, adding to the famine. Once the siege was lifted, the local population had to import all the cats they could find in the surrounding villages, and the order was restored. Thanks to the mighty CAT! And some people just cry that a cat kills a bird or two. My BAC (Black Angry Cat) makes a short order of the squirrels that we have around here, trying to get to wife's rice or occasional food rests. And then proudly presents the remains to us. Not to mention occasional rat that strays into our property. Occasional cockroach are dealt with by my resident Geckos. Estimated lifespan... 5 minutes. Unfortunately their population also suffered when the BAC took over the ownership on the house...

So true...

Cats are amazing animals: Some can survive a fall from the 32nd stories with only minor injuries. Unlike dogs, humans didn't domesticate cats. They domesticated us. Some researchers say that our advanced civilization wouldn't be possible without cats. Early human civilizations relied much on the grain to eat. Cats protected the grain stores from expansion of rodents, who would otherwise destroy it. Some other researchers say that the cat's brain work similar to human brain. It forms neuron connections in a very similar way to us. Maybe that's why cats are so attracted to humans. Cats are born with genetic memory. They know everything about hunting, fighting and hiding from the day they are born. It takes them 1-2 years to coordinate that knowledge with their body, muscles and "tools". Personally, I think that cats know everything there is to know about Life, Universe and Everything. They don't want to tell us because they regard us as somewhat inferior to real Cats....????????

You are lucky and fortunate because a cat wants to stay with you...

We adopted a Konja (aka Bombay Cat) some 4 years ago. Now he's the king of the house, vary protective of the property to the point where when I have craftsmen or gardeners coming to fix something I have to lock him up in the bedroom. They are scared <deleted>less of him, as he has a reputation of an angry cat. Well, what can you expect from 20 razor sharp claws and 4 needle like canines. Even MIL tend to stay outside the gate as he scratched her very badly. However, when my friends or my brother comes to visit he just loves the company. My wife is so fond of him, she will just spoil him silly and would say he's better than a guard dog.

All governments are hiding a lot of things. Try the Swedish government and the sinking of Estonia ferry.

Yeah, but Win8 was a dud!

Or buy another car that you like better... If you look at my first post, everything from Win95 to Win10 (Start Menu, right click options, Control Panel, etc) was more or less the same. Suddenly they just turned everything upside down... just for the fun of it as it doesn't bring any ergonomic advantage to the Desktop. Just like GNOME, one of the major desktops for Linux. At some point the developers decided that everything was a Pad, and my 32 inch monitor showed only 6 humongous icons, without much configuration options..... Needless to say, haven't used Gnome ever since. But at least on Linux we have plenty of choice for Desktop, unlike this M$ crap.

Yes, just as convoluted as on W10.

The desktop and the start menu to start with, plus all the other items that require 2-3 clicks more compared to Win10. And please explain to me why they just hide and relocate often used items in every new release. Just too many things to mention. I have one rig running Win11 and bloody hate to work with it. The only reason I would install W11 is for the Core Dispatch Manager support (or what ever it's called) for Gen13 processors.

Windows 11 is kak..... If you think about it every second release from MS is just garbage. Win95 ....kind of OK for what it was at that time Win98 Much better Win Me Crap XP Very nice Vista You must be kidding Win7 Best so far Win8 Abomination Win10 Not bad at all, apart from all the (mal)spyware Win11 Thanks, but no thanks Maybe better to wait for Win12, which supposed to be just around the corner.

It shows exactly where their priorities are. And that is definitely not the future of the country. All abstaining, not voting or not showing.

Totally agree. In my book, abstention means you don't care either way how the vote goes, so your vote don't count and the number for majority becomes lover. They must be using some weird Thai maths...

There is a little known Sci-Fi movie from 2014 starring Antonio Banderas, Robert Forster and Melanie Griffith among others. The title is "Automata" and it's about how robotic brains, in the movie called Biokernel, develop the ability to learn and evolve without any restrictions imposed by human programming. The tagline is: "Your time is coming to an end. Ours is now beginning." It's worth watching if you want another perspective on AI and robotic evolution. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1971325/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_automata

I had a rat problem. They ate all the engine cables in the car and even managed to chew through the trucks bed liner. Twice. One black cat solved it. Haven't seen a rat or even a mouse since we brought him home. Well, sometimes a dead ones that he brings to show off. Also, he keeps the stray dogs away from property. Very feisty creature.... Many a dog got their nose bloodied by him. He also keeps away unwanted people, all the soi knows that there is an angry cat guarding "his" property.

Yeah, until you see a few geckos or birds struggling to get free. Very sad experience.

I know what "fried" means. It's when the electronic devices emit the blue magic smoke that drives them internally. By the same token, how would you trust commercially available control gear. It can fail just the same, and you don't carry spares. In this case they could easy carry an extra controller. Probably the worst thing that would happen was if they ran out of battery power in the controller. I have owned many Logitech devices over the years. None has ever failed. I am typing this now on an Logitech RGB gaming keyboard. And, BTW, it's 2.4GHz and not MHz as I wrote in my post, brainfart. But it's still a fact the the sub was one big hack with everything. A YouTuber who was on the sub just days before the last dive was saying that they experienced problems with many things during the dive. Wonder what computer he used to control the sub. Or maybe it was an X-box.

Chips just don't get "fried" unless you put it in a microwave oven. Actually, the Logitech game controller they used is not Bluetooth, it has it's own 2.4MHz dongle. I have exactly the same and the connection is high speed and flowless within the 4m I have between my sofa and the TV. In fact some subs and ROV are controlled by a game controllers. It's just convenient. Have all the buttons you'll ever need. Don't understand why people would want to penalize Logitech for somebody using their tech. It's not like they sponsored the sub company.

Like I said before. Extreme violence with a screwdriver and a hammer in case of spinners. Microwave for the SSD's. Kill them all!!!!

The sub was at the surface pressure inside. That's the reason for the 15cm pressure hull. Nobody can breathe the air at 3800m, no SCUBA, no Trimix. Maybe some experimental oxygenated fluid, that does not exist commercially as yet. If they could surface, the problem would be to exit the sub as the hatch was bolted from outside. And without a beacon the sub would be impossible to locate on the surface.

The sub was rated to 4000m, the Titanic is at 3800m. Slim margin, but still.... We all have seen Das Boot, no?

Maybe, but paracetamol with alcohol will definitely make you fly.... Discovered that by coincidence....

Yeah, should really have been in the international news section. This is probably a lost cause... They have air for only 4 days, and now is day 3. Read that the entry hatch is bolted from outside. Even if they could surface, they cannot get out without external help.
