I haven't seen it (I think). Looking at its entry on Rotten Tomatoes, it appears to be one of those films where the newer reviews tend to be more positive.

Why would there be newish reviews anyway unless it's a film that's still attracting significant attention?

The focus today is also on insulation ie preventing heat loss. That means making houses less draughty. But draughty houses are also healthy houses. More fresh air and less mould. I think it would be better if people accepted that in Winter it's going to be colder indoors so wear thermal underwear etc.

So, firstly he tells us near the start that the music we're listening to the oldest known musical piece and then at the end he tells us that we don't really know what it sounded like?

Plenty of stuff you pay for has ads. Newspapers, Cable tv even Netflix are talking about getting them. The corporate imperative to serve the shareholder trumps all others.

Correct and hard on your back! I do get a kick out of it though. Makes me feel like a real man in a way my sedentary day job does not.

Before I even clicked on the link I knew it would be Essential Craftsman!

I love his videos as much for his universally applicable life wisdom as much as for the specifics of what he's covering.

We planted our own trees 15 years ago and now, we cut, split and dry our own firewood, it's a lot of work, though it is an extra pleasure to sit in front of such a fire I can see why people stopped doing it.

Phones should be excluded from restaurants being almost all positive for ecoli. Where that lurks worm eggs could too.

Sounds like lots of women wanted him and he wanted lots of them. But they didn't want to share. Mean.

Isn't that a bit different? As I understand it, he's talking about just copying the sql db file while you're talking about running a cluster wide backup tool to create a separate set of files, that you can then copy elsewhere as a backup.

I don't know, next time i'm in my parent's last house I will see if the book made it there.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I know it does, it's more that it is maybe not as serious a public health issue than the coverage of it would suggest.

I was pretty nervous about Lyme Disease a couple of years ago after there was a lot of publicity about it. Now I feel like it's all a bit overblown. I come from a family that's worked in dairy farming for generations on both sides. People who've worked in hay meadows and silage fields all their lives and there's no history at all of Lyme disease that I know of. It seems to be towns' people who occasionally visit the country side that are overwhelmingly get struck down with this which sounds to me like there's an element of hysteria about the whole thing, not least because of the number of cases where testing has proven inconclusive.

i had an old encloypaedia when I was a kid. It had been published in the 1960s. In it under the computer section it had a colour photo of a processor or something and it was this incredibly dense criss-cross pattern of what looked like wiring. I never knew why but that picture used to give me a funny feeling in my brain that I didn't like.

Absolutely. Germany, by contrast, has several cities that you regard as of on a par.

30 days before your subscription expires, teamviewer send you a friendly email to remind you to that your subscription expires in 30 days and to be sure to renew before then in order to not lose service.

What that email does not tell you is that unless you cancel your subscription at least 30 days (ie on that very day) before your sub expires they will renew you automatically and demand a full year's subscription under threat of legal proceedings.

Personally I believe that the purpose of this email is to lull you into a false sense of security that you can just let your subscription lapse instead of renewing when that is far from the case.

I think that Ireland was largely deforested in prehistory by early settlers. Short cycle rotation cropping of Sitka spruce is about all that's been done about it in independent Ireland.

It's 0 based by default, afaik, but you have the choice to make the lowest index whatever you want.

How long since you've used Xojo?

There is a free community edition, no?

You don't actually have to type out End Sub, the IDE does that for you. You just type in the new procedure's name and the ide gives you the skeleton with the cursor inside.

Not good!

I don't know about now but at one time Firebird made this question moot. It never received the love it deserved in my view.

Will the UK governemnt be also encouraging kids to use vpns, for their own protection, but remember to only use ones with UK ips, lest you seem something adult.

I only read part of it. I'll read that part now thanks

Maybe someone should do a review of Trustpilot on Trustpilot?

There's a company I used to be customer of, with a free tier but who act in an underhand manner to their paying customers and for quite a while they've been getting bad reviews from people warning about their dodgy practices. Free-tier users are occasional users in the main because if you use it a lot you're pretty quickly getting 'commercial use' detected issues. However in the last six months they'be been guilting those free-tier users into giving glowing reviews and their positive review count has soared while the negative reviews from paying customers has been drowned out. So in this case, Trustpilot is also useless for 'real' customers.

'just in case there is data corruption'

In my experience that was guaranteed if any of the clients connected other than by ethernet.

I've not done it but I understand that it's not difficult to have an Access front end for a SQL Server backend rather than the default mdb or accdb backend.

All being Microsoft products the migration to SQL server is easy as I understand it.

I find it hard to understand why large companies would not adopt this approach.

My chief memory of clippy was that he was modal and that he couldn't answer the question 'make clippy go away', so I could actually do something.
