First, Scotland was [i]blessed[i] with Salmon(d), who was succeeded by that haggis battle-axe, Sturgeon. Although not bad at rugby, running of Scotland by politicians such as this fishy pair is not...
I still use this ancient, but useful MS Visio 2000. But, amongst some of such Visio "projects/diagrams", I found one with page footers inserted. These are [i]not[i] visible on the working sheet - one...
I am in favour of alternative energy for the current CO2 and NOx stinkers. Whereas the much-vaunted eTransport uses Batteries, I cannot appreciate where their advantage, if any, over Fuel Cells lies....
First we are given a pair of presenters on Auntie's early-morning, chuck-it-all-in programme: one gives us one complete sentence, whilst the other learns his (gaping at the prompter), then they swap...
With so many EU-Central transport ministers and member countries' transport ministers having their pockets filled with Auto Lobby Agents, is it no wonder that they **all** cast a blind eye to V.W.'s...
I read many moons ago, of a Russian man who, in the latter years of the 19 C calculated escape velocities for an object to escape Earth's gravity - and this before the first attempts in any form of...
With I.S.S. continuing to make original research in creating a data-base of the spectrum of all that will contribute towards man's successful journey to Mars and deep space, would it not be worth...
Whenever I see him, voted recently to represent our formal colony, trumpeting in so an uncouth and undiplomatic manner, I see him in my mind's eye in the presence of our Queen at The Palace down the...
With Elon Musk of _S P A C E-X_ giving _N A S A_ et al a welcome wake-up call from man's space-exploratory slumbers since the Apollo Programme, manned flights to the Moon and even Mars are suddenly...
I have recently purchased this camera. It has many technically up-to-date features, one of which is its wireless connectivity, enabling it to be controlled via a "smartphone". I would like to use this...
I [i]still[i] do not know where to write a question regarding matters Photography. Would not such a theme be suitable as a sub-category of Technology?...
I wanted to open a comment on the [i]E N V I R O N M E N T[i], but what a job to find this. It's a sub-category of "Animals & Nature". How illogical. Should this important theme not be under Science...
One year after his brutal murder, thousands of opposition supporters of Boris Nemsov's cause took to the streets of Moscow. Brave people in country where "awkward" opponents of the Kremlin are...
_With a couple of like-minded friends, I have frequently asked shop managers about replacing the ubiquitous use of plastics wrapped around the foodstuffs and used for bags to carry the purchased...
I have often wanted to offer contributions on the important matter of Environment. Then, whilst preparing to write for another category, a link to this theme appeared at the top of the page. __May I...
Instead of the usual cabbage/lettuce to make a glorified salad/coleslaw, could one replace this with red cabbage? Just thought of a change (said the Bishop ...).
_Thank you....
I currently have a Standard LNB on T-W-O Satellite dishes. With the old box starting to get into "death throes", a new one is on the cards. _ I will continue to use the two Satellite dishes. _ My...
In Devon, "they" have, in their infinite wisdom, decided to close a number of cottage/community hospitals. Public meetings to discuss with "them" and their local NHS henchmen were performances very...
'Tis going to the dogs, BBC News. First, as for many programmes, they rarely start on time. Once upon a time, a clock showed the countdown... Now, we have a roll and thump of drums when BBC News...
I chanced upon this: a "[i]FIDO U2F Security Key[i]". It is a key that one can use with computers/OSs, *if* they meet this protocol. How can one verify whether one's HW or SW has this. I have the...
