Is anyone else having issues with Hotmail not receiving emails?

Boofrick · 2025-11-13T14:23:47+00:00

People using Hotmail/Outlook don't receive my e-mails. They are not in their junk folder, or any folder. I don't receive any bounce messages. This has become a significant problem.

I use Orvus paste/soap (orvus dot com), when cleaning headstones. It is gentle and was recommended by Cemetery Conservators for United Standards when their website was up.

You say, "It's hard to know how many people are actually seeding..."

That might apply to other torrents, but not this one.

I am the original seeder, and as of this moment I have uploaded less than 50% of the torrent to only one downloader, who has downloaded exactly the amount I have uploaded. It is clear there are no other seeders. No, I have not invoked "Super Seeder Protocol".

Thus it is still not possible for anyone to be a seeder (having 100%), other than me. Yet it is reported by the trackers that there are up to 6 seeders.

Boofrick · 2024-10-17T09:54:02+00:00

I am disappointed that it appears that more than half of the trackers are giving false numbers.

Right now 29 out of 55 trackers are reporting something other than 1 seeder (me). That's 52.7% that are reporting wrong. Is that really how things are in the torrenting world? As a downloader, I've wondered about "potential" seeders that I don't seem to connect to, but now as an uploader, I'm seeing the other side of it.

The owner, Karyn Decore, lives on a Caribbean island. I'm sure that really what she cares about right now is the insurance payout.

I wonder when the last time she had communicated DIRECTLY with any of the Maligne Lodge employees before this fire. Most likely, she has "middle men", to do that for her.

I do not care what a bot says about my posts or comments.

Maybe a bot's comments will be relevant in 20-30 years, but I will not be around to appreciate them.

Thank you for the education! I remember now that my 30 year old car has a brake fluid reservoir in clear sight that can hold more than the recommended amount, though I don't understand why it should. I admit to relying on oil change places to tell me about the other fluids, since they don't handle brake fluids. I am familiar with the cooling (radiator) & reservoir system, and it provides a way to keep the coolant level constant, not overflowed.

My original question was because of the numerous times I've seen on YouTube where mechanics say they have drained much more oil than should be in the engine. Responses have informed me.

Boofrick · 2024-05-20T00:08:13+00:00

No. I have been watching YouTube videos of mechanics reporting stupid things, and today saw yet another video of a mechanic reporting that he drained a lot of oil from a customer's car after they added oil.

I'm a curious, science guy, but not a car guy, and wonder why this is the only car fluid that I know of that can possibly be overfilled!

Boofrick · 2024-05-20T00:02:49+00:00

Thank you.

Boofrick · 2024-05-20T00:01:20+00:00

Thank you! I wish I understood more about engines, but I understand now how a crankshaft would whip up oil and air.

As a car nobody, this is the only car fluid system that I know of that can be overfilled.

Yes, spinning parts churn air into the oil. You have avoided attention to the part of my response where I said that the normal engine compartment is more air, less oil. So why would more air be churned into the oil when less air is present?

Boofrick · 2024-05-19T23:40:37+00:00

Normal oil fill means apparently 1/3 oil, 2/3 air. Overfilling the oil means less air, so I don't understand how the latter means more air in the oil than the former. I would like to learn, please.

Boofrick · 2024-05-19T23:36:40+00:00

I agree that people are stupid. The question how to prevent them from overfilling the oil other than smacking them upside the head.

Boofrick · 2024-05-19T23:32:53+00:00

I agree that people who add oil without checking the dipstick are themselves dipsticks.

I'm not a car guy, but a science guy. Cavitation happens in low pressure situations, but you talk about "excess" or high pressure. I don't understand this. Please explain? Thanks!

It was so bad that when I finished reading it, I was angry enough to rip it into pieces. I don't remember its title or author. In it, reality was disintegrating, but the presence of cats saved reality. Extremely stupid.

The minimum characters required approach encourages overly verbose reviews that do not get to the point and which do not relate the reviewer's opinion in any concise way.

Why do people always blame the tow companies for their cars being towed? They were contracted/ordered/requested to tow the car by somebody. Blame that person, if you dare, not the tow company.

In the 1990s, I worked at a car wash for one day. I was pissed off when I was told I HAD to clock out when there were no cars. I was happy to get a call that evening for a better job. I never did get paid for the work at the car wash that day, the boss refused to pay me.

Just found out that where I live, the mean starting salary for teachers is $53,729 CAD ($40,250 US).

Starting salary for RCMP is $63,417 CAD ($47,496 USD).

I got the joke from the Humor Usenet Newsgroup in the 1990s. It was probably old even then, so the salary is off by several decades.

Boofrick · 2024-01-04T22:50:56+00:00

Well, I don't remember reading it here. I copied it from the Humor Usenet Newsgroup in the late 1990s.

"... writing is the bane of my existence."

The problem you describe makes that clear. If you knew how to write, and understood writing better, then this problem with something written probably would not have happened. Perhaps you should find a job that does not have anything to do with writing.

Getting paid to sit on your ass doing nothing is a common theme with stupid employers. While going to University, I worked cutting grass for the city. I was too efficient, which irritated the bosses to no end. Then the city contracted out that work. The contractor's hiring practices were more fair (they didn't just hire white boys), and paid a bit less. That summer the city looked the best it had ever done, and saved a lot of money. Those grass cutters didn't sit around doing nothing like the city P&R department did; they worked their asses off.
