    And she doesn't like it ? The problem would be if you told her she looked like a customer or like a pimp... Prostitutes are the most honest in their businesses. The guilt is around them.

    I have an old OKI B4300. Black and white laser. Worked fine for 20 or 25 years, slow but reliable and no nonsense. Now it jams unless manual feeded, prints too soft, the page comes out dirty on the sides... The poor thing is dying. I changed some pieces in the past, but now it's so old... I'm so...

    Ah, so that explains why the USA secretary of war ordered to shave all his generals... to tell them apart from the bearded Ayatollahs's. Cunning. Top strategy. Sigh.

    Nah. It's a defensive move. They plan to show the USA are so stupid that nobody would want to rule them, to discourage Russia, the China or whoever from invading them. It has the disadvantage that it may result in the military not trusting the politicians, but that's already so, so little to...

    Well, yes, that should be stopped as soon as possible. Nuclear is not competitive. That good maintence costs a lot, and we're running out of water to refrigerate. It was wise to close them. Batteries not included. Just add storage. Traditional Battery prices keep going down, and new kinds of...

    It's protected form the rain. It was starting to get rusty where it was before... It's also pedagogical to teach children to put back their toys in their place when they finish playing.

    Well, as Zelensky said, it's normal not to be prepared because Poland is not in a war. I'm also unsure why more drones weren't stopped. I've heard those heading for a NATO base where stopped. Maybe they were following them to check what were the targets? Or maybe they just couldn''t catch...

    So magpies are just pretending to be old to get some pension or something or what ?

    No, the Earth is round like a ball. I'm second tired of flatearthers... If the Earth was flat it would have stayed fallen flat, and then how come it's been so long rolling downhill ? Just throw a coin downhill and it soon drops flat. Throw a wheel downhill and it won't last long until any pebble...

    Really ? And what for, if I may ask ? You can't send geriatric toddlers to the infantry, and have them crawl in and out of dig outs and all that toddling the infantry does, can you? What are geriatric toddlers good for ?

    At first I thought they were after some weapons in transit to Ukraine, but later it seemed it was not so. Expensive rockets and planes which are also expensive to fly. I think I've read some drones reached 300 km away from the border. They say Russia is testing NATO defenses, but I don't...

    Thanks. Mmmm... I'll have to add a tinfoil cape to my tinfoil hat. Not sure how to sew tinfoil, though...

    I find it terribly intrusive, potentially. I understand they mean meidcaly and I mean privacy, but still. If anyone controlling a WiFi chip can monitor heart rate of anyone within 3 m, I can imagine privacy nightmares. It's hard to believe it really works. Router firmware is typically...

    So where are we with the Pyra--really? (August 2025 Query)

    I'm not involved in the Pyra, ED business or dragonbox.de or anything. But... If this page is up to date (5/2/2016), that might mean less than 500 Pyras have shipped to first week preorderers. There were roughly one thousand preorders in 2016. If you ordered in 2020 you are as good as the last...
