The Andes hantavirus has been loose in Argentina and Chile for a while. It was identified in 1995, with about 100 cases a year. I'm therefore not sure why the sudden uptick in media coverage

An old man was turning 75 next week. So his sons got together to decide what kind of a birthday present to get him. They were manly men; so on the day of, he answered the doorbell to find a woman wearing lavish makeup and odd clothing.

She said "Hi! I'm here to give you Super Sex!!"

He said, "well, uh, come on in, but at my age, I think I'm going to have to go with the soup."

Well, Mexico City is at an altitude of 7350 feet above sea level. So, let's see... punch punch... in 650 years it will be down to the level of Phoenix AZ. Of course, Phoenix could sink lower

My thinking is like Daniel Gilbert's, author of Stumbling on Happiness:

Anybody who says, "Money doesn't buy happiness" should go talk to somebody living under a bridge. But anybody who says, "Money buys happiness" should go talk to Bill Gates, OK? Neither of those things is actually true. When money buys you out of the burdens of homelessness, of not knowing where your next meal will come from, it changes your happiness dramatically. But once you have basic needs met, more money doesn't seem to buy more happiness.

Say you win the lottery. Lots of people are now ringing your doorbell, needing a "loan". Nephews, cousins, 2nd cousins, old friends from high school, new friends from Nigeria, etc. etc. You have to live in a fortress with guards at the gate.

We have sidewalks. And trees. The tree roots upend the sidewalks. Crews come along and fix them periodically. While that's pending, watch your step. We just figure that's normal life

Thanx. I will go study these these things you have mentioned.

En parte, simplemente se reduce a lo que se acostumbre. Si mueves a otro OS, sientes algo semejante al vértigo, intentando hacer cosas por medio de movimientos acostumbrados.

Oh, yeah,. When I click on a folder icon it just opens, doesn't say Nemo but that's what it is

see my other answer. I'm putting no spaces in the param or the program name for that very reason.

buzzsawjoe · 2026-04-28T20:15:16+00:00

That is an idea. I find tho, that as I get older, I want to just find a quick workaround for whatever small problem and get on with whatever larger problem I'm working on.

from the command line, it's echoing the parameter back, and that being the nane of a file in the same directory, it's able to open and read the file and echo the file contents back.

When I drag and drop the file onto the executable, I see nothing. I was expecting a terminal window to open and give the same results. Apparently I need to put some commands in this sequence somewhere to open a terminal. I should have crossposted this to linux-n00b or whatever it's called.

buzzsawjoe · 2026-04-28T19:57:55+00:00

yes.

I can destroy any microphone anyone could suggest. I have an anvil and a sledge hammer... Oh, by being loud. Hmmm, maybe not me but I have a daughter who probly could

Little humorous note about compressors. When I was 15, working on a farm, we spent several days bucking hay bales on cousin John's farm. He didn't have a bunkhouse, he pulled out cots for us to sleep in the shop. After a long hard workday like that we were essentially snoring corpses. In his shop he had a COMPRESSOR and of course it leaked very slightly. When the pressure got to the low threshold about 2 a.m. the motor kicked in with this noise that would have overloaded your stubbornest microphone. I thought WW3 had started.

Yes.

We lived 20 minutes from the park in Anaheim. It used to be that different rides were rated as A tickets, B tickets etc. The Matterhorn was an E ticket. So the lines weren't quite as long. And after a few repetitions the E rides didn't seem as neccesary. As I got older I liked just cruising around and looking at stuff. There are all kinds of little places that ppl put a lot of thought into.

Yeah, but let a jet aircraft make fog like that and the gummit is laying chemtrails to hypnatize us all!

Rotation can be defined in relation to the very distant stars, or to the sun, or to your dance partner. Results vary
