If I'd left work 2 seconds earlier today would I have been killed by the lorry that cut me up on the motorway? Definition of squeaky bum time; that moment you slam your brakes on and the back of a hgv narrowly misses the front of your car :oops:
 
five weeks at a time would be difficult. I used to do every week - but I was home nearly every weekend. biggest issue for me - paying bills.

Because I'm not there. I spent over a year and a half away from home I had to remind myself on a saturday to pay a set of bills and put them in the post office drop box - on my way out. This was before most of my utilities and the like moved to online pay systems. But even then there were fees.

Hell I turned off my internet for 6 months or more during that time. I was never home other than weekends, and I had other shit to do come next monday I was on a plane again.

I partially miss those days.
 
Damn nothing new.

UHM OK

Vernal Equinox day - awesome just one more month of weekly rain fall mucking up my yard
 
Red Bull stunt lights up skies over LA

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A pair of wingsuit flyers sponsored by Red Bull lit up the skies over Los Angeles at twilight Wednesday.

The wingsuits left a trail of flames over the downtown LA skyline.

On Twitter, some people reported seeing what they thought was a meteor or even a UFO.

But closeup video showed two people in wingsuits trailing sparks behind them in the air.

It wasn't immediately clear if the stunt was for a commercial or another project by the company.

Even the LAPD sought to reassure the public, tweeting: "PSA: A meteor did not crash into Downtown Los Angeles, and no, it's not an alien invasion...just a film shoot. This is Tinseltown after all."


Damn...I love my hometown. :D
 
Funny , when did my Note 9 go to 5G , when did AT&T do this ?
I swear I read a article saying they were going to push this in feburary to most newer mobiles. So I bet when you got the last "security update" this happened.

It is of course fake - if you didn't know

you could be right because my phone doesn't seem any different than before February :rolleyes:
 
Is it truly 5G service though? I also read where they were doing regional test rollouts of what basically is 4.5G
 
ATT has something like 3 test markets - but there are only 2 devices in the US that even have the 5G LTE modems. Moto X with the mod kit and certain Samsung S10's. It's very restricted.

VZ is testing in 5 markets too - and it's all with moto X's that I know of.

Otherwise the rest of the ATT customers that have the banner - it's not real 5G at all They put that out there because they are claiming to have the first 5g network up and running.

or - so I've read.
 
Once again, I have a 2019 model Chevy on loan from the dealership, and once again its fancy entertainment system chokes on my USB drive.

Seriously, Chevy, 128GB is not a lot anymore! Or is it because it's USB3?
 
The last one, a Malibu, just gave up after ten minutes.

This one, the Silverado, scanned for twenty minutes and produced a whopping three folders of music.

I mean, I do have a few USB 2 drives around, in more "reasonable" capacities, but the one with the most music and audiobooks is the one with the largest capacity, natch, and it also happens to be right next to the laptop.

I'll have to dig out one of the others and load it up, I guess...
