StringJunky

@Sensei I looked at that series and would have got it if I went for inkjet but felt that this technology doesn't stand idle very well and their cost/page appears not as good as laser. The Lexmark I ordered does double sided printing.

@StringJunky Nice feature to have these days is ability to receive data through WiFi and Bluetooth, and print directly from SD/SDHC. Worth taking it into consideration during ordering of new printer. They will allow printing directly from digital camera, smartphone or tablet, without having to transfer files back and forth to the computer.

Yes, this one can do wifi and bluetooth. I knew I didn't want cables. I did use an ethernet cable to allow the setup from the supplied dvd. Unless I am diverted by a better suggestion,  I will order another of the same but brand new and unopened.

I know for a fact that I do not remember dreaming much usually   -  when I stop smoking for a few days (yea, OK Prometheus, you got me there - I think you know what) I definitely start dreaming a lot more vividly. Maybe I just remember it more,  but I don't think so - I think I dream more lucidly without smoke.

I'd be reluctant to go without REM sleep. Not sure what the latest research suggests, but it's thought to have some restorative function. Maybe DrmDoc knows more?

REM is how our voracious brain supply its metabolic needs during sleep.  Lack of REM deprives our brain of something it needs during sleep that it can't restore during our physically active waking hours. This is likely because of the energy our brain devotes to our physical activities.  Suppressing REM could be fatal. 

It is a major change.  They still haven't incorporated my feature wish list - including remote electro-shock accompanying negative reputation but beggars  can't be choosers

Ha! 

I like the notifications  -  if I haven't been on for a few days it can be hard to look back through everything to see if you have been quoted or asked anything...  now there is a list saying exactly what has happened whilst I was offline.  

He must be paying in installments right?

He's only 14  It'll be his anyway when  my number's up. I'm toying with the idea of having another one made now I understand much more about the design parameters I like. A soundport will be in the next one to direct more sound at me.

Left it a couple of days and it works now. I think  I was lucky that there was no milk in the coffee and no sugar because i'd run out. I will note though that the digital experience wasn't so bad this time. There's a definite slight hiss in my analogue aid which I missed. The silence of digital was a bit unnerving at first. The sound difference is like the difference between a valve amp and a tranny. I've got used to the noise and expect it.

Isn't there a 'X' to cancel or 'remove your reaction' by the up/down arrows.

Hover over the rep you just made and 3 icons should slide out. Click the little cross

Oh yea - thanks...  ;-)   You done yourself out of an up vote there though...  I removed it. lol.

Oh no!

Thank you guys. It means alot.

Wow. Putting something like that behind you must be a great feeling. Congratulation!

Yes, Zapatos, I feel very lucky. I didn't realise how much of a weight it was until it was gone.

Learnt something today; smart guy. This just about sums up my approach: "The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand." - Sun Tzu

I looked at the weather stats and it was 73 and 45% humidity which surprised me because it seems a lot higher than that.

Low humidity weirds me out :|

A couple nights ago I was watching the weather, something I seldom do because they are more likely than not to be wrong, but the temp at midnight 85 and the humidity was 80%

The next few days are are supposed to be in the triple digits and 90% humidity. Can we say severe thunder storms? Hell the way the weather is here I wouldn't be surprised by snow...

I live very close to the ocean so it's not as extreme in summer as it is in the west. Winters are mild too.

Yes, the US winter can be seriously arid and cold

.

Yes, it's much more dynamic here.

How did we get from "I need a fag" to discussing viral dimensions?!

I have an answer but I won't give it. I can only say that it's my doing

Cheers.

True.

I agree completely with that thought. I also extend it to evaluate government in general.

I agree. This works in life really well. In politics there's so much deception that it doesn't have to be necessarily true.

I get SAD as well, DST stops tomorrow night, still warm here but the day length messes with me too, make me sleepy and tired all the time..

Yep, that's it, torpidity sets in... mind ends up like walking through treacle.

koti, let alone pre-parties

The UK is due in the week to have a referendum on whether it stays part of the European Union. Polls suggest opinion is roughly even.

I guess it's a sad day. What will this mean?

Just read it. Fucking hell... I am disappointed.

I am going to buy both after I get a new bike. going to H_lfords in the next few days

Get a free-version software audio equaliser, if needed, as well for your phone/laptop/PC to balance the sound to your taste and they are a great cheap combo and very well made... I need a strong treble bias to compensate for my deafness in that region.

I find myself in the "What are you listening to now" thread here more than youtube directly... good mix of sounds to choose from posted by members. Go Tina, you're "The best"!
