  1. The bible followers and devotees that follow their religious beliefs are then, interpreting and learning wrong/different meanings of the scriptures from a defunct language from ~4000+years ago and from ~2000 years ago. Setting aside the modern meaning; if worth accepting the phrase Who are "us" above ? God and who else ? Who are "our" above ? God and who else ? And God is humanoid ? Any witnesses of that ? And who heard God saying that above speaking to no one ? The above phrase by about page one; followed by hundred of pages of zillion more asseverations constituting the foundations of a religion. Can any hyper educated professional theologist doctorate master explain at least that first Genesis 1-26 ? The priests during my 12 year duration catholic school -with mandatory daily mass- never touched it.
  2. Can anyone confirm; I have the same doubt in different languages... Do humans look like God ? What is "our" image ? Who are 'our' ? God "said" : who heard that ? "Likeness" ?
  3. Hi. What compounds are added while manufacturing wall paint that determine if results are glossy or flat finish ?
  4. Good morning mister president of the U.S. Perhaps steel, aluminium, petroleum, automobiles can bear tariffs as can be made in the U.S. But electronics, toys, clothing, shoes, everyday life gadgets cannot. Because cannot be manufactured in USA. Perhaps you just noticed and engaged the reverse gear ? No, cannot be manufactured in USA. Because corporations and CEOs and shareholders want (and get) quadruple+ profits having those products made overseas where workers do not cost to the company five thousand dollars an hour at the emergency room or hospital plus a $400 weekly medicine. Somehow I thought that you may had known that well before with all your business expertise.
  5. Greetings. Has anyone seen, had, known about a wind-up toy car of the sixties like the one I gave away in the seventies to a deserving kid and now as an old fart would like to have again ? Was a German Schuco brand, Mercedes Benz, convertible, green, wind-up, with a 2cm working stick shift between the seats, 2 or 3 gears, reverse, steerable, ~16cm, metal but cannot remember if diecast or tin, never seen an equal one for sale. The nearest looks image borrowed from the web (in other color) is: It is not these 'gullwings' :
  6. Good day. Applying DC to electrodes in saline water; what disassociates / separates / deposits first on them, as voltage rises ? The hydrogen and oxygen; or chlorine and sodium ? What determines which go first ? Salt is already ions in suspension, right ? Or becomes hypochlorite / hypochlorous acid ?
  7. Good morning mister president of the U.S. Please remember daily, that very few citizens have the spending power you have.
  8. Hi. Everyone asked had a favorite response. Steam; water with vinegar; or with detergent, or with alcohol, or with ammonia, or paint thinner, or any hot fluid... Applying newspaper onto the wetted surface (to 'seal' moisture much longer) or thin plastic film for the same purpose... Assuming all the glues used are the same; what makes more chemical sense ? Or is just matter of dissolving it and not to react with the glue ?
  9. Thank you sir. I remember reading in several places about insecticidal properties. Being correct or not = ? With the typical imprecisions of naming different products the same and naming same products differently... One of them is
  10. Externet replied to iNow's topic in Politics
    Denmark announced to soon accept trading Groenland with Florida, Mar-a-Lago included or not.
  11. Thank you, sir. Managed to implement/add the green launching icon, displays at the top left corner instead of the expected bottom row but can live with it :
  12. Listening to Sinatra + Jobim.
  13. Hi. Installed? Whatsapp to new drive with Ubuntu 24.04 on my laptop and it is functional. Find no launch icon, have not closed the tab until solving. On previous hard drive it did show at the bottom of screen. Does not show listed in 'installed' applications ! I have only Brave browser working perfect, cannot find how to implement the launcher (or is it favorites?). Help in wording for the unskilled, please. I followed this to install : If it shows "Remove from favorites" is because it is already in the favorites list, right ? Well, cannot see it at the bottom.
  14. Good day. I was reading about a "Bordeaux mixture" for prevention of fungus and damaging insects for plants and trees. It is a simple water solution to spray hydrated lime + liquid soap, supposed to not deterr/harm pollinators if applied before blooming. What is your opinion instead of spraying such mixture; spraying only the liquid soap onto foliage and branches to make a sticky layer and dusting windward with the hydrated lime powder after with the hope of hydrated lime sticking better to the plants (until next rain ?) -Or, a better approach you may have heard of- ?
  15. Thanks, gentlemen. Can see the validity of the discussion related to the teachings. Was Sicily and not Corsica, and Spain involved. I have no idea why I posted here; it was intended for the lounge. Brain farting too often. Please move as apropiate.
  16. Greetings. By late sixties, a highly educated priest at my high school mentioned and taught in literature/hystory? class that romanticism was an italian movement originated as Rome-anti-cism. Cannot remember what/where was the cism (church schism?) Can you confirm yes, no, what or never heard such ? And if has no relation with the word 'romantic' (as in loving) ... If my memory is working. Another in-retina from the same teacher was that 'mafia' meant "Morte alle France Italia aclama" -- Or "Italy claims death to France" -- perhaps since the taking of Corsica? I have consulted in several places with nothing solid. Do you know anything about as true or not ? [There may be grammar errors]
  17. Hi all. A nuclear energy source substitute on recent news... How real is it among dozens of same style promising technology ? ---> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14447257/China-discovers-limitless-energy-source-power-country.html
  18. Thank you. In the middle of action showed it again masking the result: Both commands show: The replacement of the drive with a bigger costlier or not is not a problem. But I used years ago ~40MB drives every time upgraded versions since 05.10 almost yearly (kept a bunch archived) and in an even older laptop that behaved always very happy. Yes currently have a SSD instead of the mechanical hard drive. And, as instructed; done: -Answered no as is insignificant- The point is learning what is inflating and if is because am doing something wrong; or the updates do not erase/delete the older versions occupying space. I have very few applications in a lean machine, not even Firefox nor Chrome nor mainstream nor social anything.
  19. My compfuser reported being low in storage. I run Ubuntu 24.04 Linux in very lean way and makes no sense to me being low of free hard drive space (SSD) Is there a command to safely delete the old, already updated versions that may still reside useless in the hard drive ? What is 'var' apparently using 58% of storage ? Its contents being mostly 'lib' as 97% of 'var' as below ? Do I need 'snap' ? How can I inspect each file in there to delete it or keep it ? What is
  20. Good morning, mister president. The old investor visa inflated and renamed; I would like to know if the new $5M visas have a bean accountant only or there is a background check for the drug lords and other crooks from overseas to migrate to the U.S. on red carpet.
  21. Hi. Running Ubuntu 24.04 now since 5.10 non-stop when I excommunicated Windows forever. I will never go back to Windows even being unskilled in Linux to tweak or wring whatever expert users get out of it. It is an operating system for nerds but works so well that a non-nerd can enjoy its reliability. A couple of decades ago a 40 MB hard drive in an old bones compfuser is all I needed. Inflated now. Still have the drives, as when I upgrade, I archive the drive with the spider webs and put a new or used one with the new version. But never dare to have a dual-boot nor anything Windows less than 10 metres away. If you want Windows in the same machine; use a swappable pluggable drive that will have only one drive powered up at a time. My suggestion is reverse all and go back to your Windows only. Want Ubuntu? ---> install it in another blank hard drive. When happy with its performance and getting used to a loooong learning curve, think again about doing the dual boot.
  22. And another extract mentioning a patent
  23. I saw a documentary video ~40 years ago being done in Chile coastal high lands, was black&white. For sure was not then done with polypropilenes or modern plastics but some kind of netting vegetal fibers then. Seen a couple of other documentaries in the last ~30 years revisiting the same; and one more lately reported as a high-tech-wow! discovery of modern science. Probably a chilean site may report since when it has been going on. Edited: added link---> https://search.brave.com/search?q=chile+obtencion+agua+de+la+niebla+costera+antiguedad&source=web When I lived in Berkeley, California; every night rained under the trees from their leaves collecting the fog coming from the sea trough the San Francisco gate. One of the comments shown on one of the pertinent links https://www.bbc.com/mundo/participe/2009/04/090422_1224_participe_atrapanieblas_am https://www.bbc.com/mundo/participe/2009/04/090422_1224_participe_atrapanieblas_am Says... " It is not a novelty, I know those... ...since 1960"
  24. Good morning mister president. What is your vision for Gaza and Greenland belonging to the U.S. ? Are them to become others Puerto Rico or assets to trade for else ? In four years when you be replaced by your successor; what reversals will you hate the most ? By the way, is Puerto Rico on your sight ?
  25. Hi. Always thought an electric heater is 1500 Watts in; 1500Watts of heat out; or 100% efficient... Read about the ">100%" efficiency of heat pumps. Read about the theories of reversing a window air conditioner to heat a dwelling; consuming ~400Watts instead of 1500W as the heater and yielding more heat... Make me believe one or the other.
