Fatalities - 2026

Scott Adams, creator of the hugely-successful "Dilbert" comic enterprise, has lost his battle with prostate cancer. He was 68.

I greatly enjoyed the Dilbert-verse and am glad he found something that brought joy to so many (him too!) while giving him a great life. It's awful it was cut short, though.

RIP, Mr. Adams, with condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones. Thanks for all of the laughs.
Wow.. I am still a fan of his comic books..

THOUGHTS ON MICROSOFT ENDING SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS 10

My main gripe is they made everything hard to do, what used to be a one clik chore is now 2 or 3 cliks, and that is if you can find where it is !

Besides they have made the security updates auto install, does not matter if you do not want them, and once installed they can not be rolled back ! ! !

And then there are the small quirks like the single click opening for things, (I do not like that, it has been double clik as long as I can remember), the default look that seems to keep coming back for things even though you change/customize them, etc.

My biggest gripe is after an update it screws my Ethernet drivers up and I have to do a song and a dance to use the internet again ....

Oh and not to mention my Canon PCS makes the security scream because it is not able to play nice with M/softs security, and the only way to stop the naggin, is to buy a "compatible" printer ....

Way to go Gates, I said I was too old to learn Linux, but I learned how to use your garbage didn't I ?

Never say never !

Any Time is Grillin Time

It was fantastic, the wife made the Lasagna and I made the salad.

1 pkg of Romain all salad mix
1 pkg of large Romain pieces
1 tub of cherry tomato's - cut in half
2 large Cucumber - sliced and cut into quarters
1 thinly sliced onion - rings and slices
1 pkg of seasoned croutons
5 different dressings to choose from.

Did I say the Lasagna was good too ?

Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

migraines👎:mad::maddroid::thumbsdowndroid:. Yesterday day I had a end of drive shift goal location I wanted to reach. I woke up a few hours before I could start my shift and felt horrible, head hurt. Light was painful, felt nauseous. So I took some pain medication, a little swig of pepto bismol and laid back down.
I started my shift and got on the road. I managed to drive for maybe three hours when I had to pull over.
I found a place and decided that I would take thirty minutes and get going. I ended up taking more than an hour :thumbsdowndroid:. So I started driving and about two hours later I had to stop. This time I allowed myself only thirty minutes
Two hours later I did a fuel stop which was a struggle to get through and finally I am on the road. I am making up time, I am thinking I can still make my goal location. Then I hit rush hour traffic. Get through that and I am looking at the GPS and distance to the destination and my remaining hours of service i had two hours and fifty minutes :thumbsupdroid: I can make it :D I am only two hundred miles away. I should get with a few minutes to spare. Some how in my planning i under calculated the miles and got everything mixed up i also realized I was going to be going through another major city and now had under two hours.
Those two hours I stopped totally messed everything up.

Help Samsung A54, Android 14: How to have the phone announce caller ID to my ear phones?

Sorry for the confusing. Yes the pop-up screen appears, stays, and shows the caller, but the announcement through my bluetooth earpiece is only once and after the first ring. I'd like the caller to be announced more than once.
Best way would be check on your home screen's cellphone icon and acutally look at it.

Telegram to sd

app data is pretty small in comparison to say pictures or videos. you will hardly notice any difference....especially from a messaging app like telegram....unless you have hundreds of conversations you want to backup....so i doubt you will see any significant difference in storage space being saved doing so.

Air Fryer Cooking

I fried some french fries last night in the air fryer. I discovered there is a setting just for frying fresh cut fries and tried it. I've been frying them with a custom setting of 400° for 20 minutes. The factory setting of my air fryer had the temp at 450° for 20 minutes. I pulled the fries before the timer went off but I think they would have been fine if left for the full time. At least I didn't have to add time like before. Live and learn.... and trust the machine. :)

When did you buy your 1st fake Christmas tree?

We haven't had a real tree the last few years since they jumped so much in price, so we just have the pre-lit fake one visible through the front window.

I'm only coming back here because I watched a clip on YT about things changed by "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and one of them was that it had a devastating effect on the aluminum Christmas tree market. I can remember those awful things and I was glad to see them go, and even gladder now that I found out how much one of my favorite Christmas programs had to do with it. :)
