Re: The random thought thread
If I was ever to meet the new Bruce Jenner, I would say "Nice to meet you Mr Jenner" and if shim said "no, please call me Caitlyn", I would say "nice to meet you Mr Caitlyn Jenner". Remember when a hero was someone who dove on a grenade to keep his platoon from getting killed? Or the guy who jumped into the Potomac river to save the people on that crashed jet?? Even the term "sports hero" makes me feel ill. Don't get me wrong, professional athletes earn their big paychecks, but the hero is the guy who runs in the burning building to save someone he doesn't know. OMG, the crap we Americans are putting into the "normal" category is getting ridiculous. EmujoIf you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.Comment

Hint. If you want to break out of the ESS cycles you start by turning off the Idiot box TV. Get out there and go fishing,camping. Build a new machine. Buy a telescope. Buy some binoculars and keep on eye out for Whitepointers down the beach. Mick Fanning an a lot of other guys would be happy with that...Inauguration to the "AI cancel-culture" fraternity 1997...

Todays thoughts on water.

"Water is such strange stuff ...
The light glints off it. I can put my foot in it ... EEEWWW!!! MY FOOT IS ALL WET!
I can lick the water off my foot and it tastes just as good. EEWWW!! MY FOOT IS ALL WET AGAIN!
I can splash it all over the floor. AND MY FOOT IS ALL WET AGAIN!"
Deep insights from Rosie. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: The random thought thread
I always wanted to tell jokes, but I had pretty severe social anxiety. So, I wrote the jokes down on pieces of paper and taped the paper to frisbees. Then I threw the frisbees at passers by so they could read my jokes.

I find it utterly bewildering that a company in China can tool up and manufacture something that is total bullshit and is flawed by design.Last edited by Tricky; 07-25-2015, 05:14 PM.Comment

Top This One For A Speeding Ticket
Two Texas Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement on Hwy 77, just south of Kingsville, TX.
One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the town of Kingsville . The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour and climbing.
The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then it suddenly turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the Mesquite treetops on Hwy 77 revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near it's Naval Air home base location in Kingsville TX ..
Back at the Texas Highway Patrol Headquarters in Corpus Christi the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the US Naval Base Commander in Kingsville for shutting down his equipment.
The reply came back in true USMC style:
'Thank you for your letter...
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment's location.
Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status, and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position on the side of Hwy 77 south of Kingsville .....
The pilot suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.
Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears that the filling is missing. Also, the snap is broken on his holster.'
