What’s the difference between a cello and a string bass?
The string bass burns longer.
Should have offered to take my car instead, it sits rather higher & is much easier to get into & out of.
On my monthly charity food parcel delivery route last night, I was struggling with gout in my right foot/ankle & the osteo-arthritis in my left knee. Getting into & out of the other volunteers's car was awkward as it's quite low to the ground.
Weird. MacBook Air updated to Pixelmator 3.7 OK. Had to search on the App Store on the iMac to find it but it refused to update. A good swift kick in the guts fixed that. After restarting the item appeared as an update.
@matigo 2014 11.6-in MacBook Air: 592 of 1000 theoretical charges, 89% of original capacity. Last year a friend replaced his 2009 17-in MacBook Pro. It was on its second battery, the original had made it to over 1300 charge cycles.

Most annoying. I just tried (twice) to email a partial fund withdrawal form to my superannuation fund from my iCloud account. It was rejected each time with the following error: smtp;553-Message filtered
So I tried once more, this time via my Gmail account. It went through without a problem, I received the auto-generated confirmation email.
I’ve noticed this with both the iPod Touch and the iPhone SE: in iOS 11 when they’re on external power, touch screen response becomes haphazard at best. Unplug and there’s no trouble.
Fuck off, GMail Team. You say I’m not using the GMail app on my iOS platforms. I don’t care if it’s a “better” email experience. I USE MAIL BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS IN ONE APP RATHER THAN SCATTERED ABOUT LIKE A MAD WHORE’S AFTERBIRTH!
Men’s Shed has an ongoing project: renew/refurbish the numerous park benches throughout the retirement village where we rent our premises. A hardware store contacted us asking if we wanted some merbau https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intsia_bijuga timber which they have in the form of 15 foot-long pallets. That timber is perfect for the park benches so we snapped up the offer. One fellow fetched his chainsaw & 8 foot long trailer & a few of us went to get the stuff. The chainsaw is used to cut the pallets into lengths more suited to fitting in the trailer.
Next we had to get the nails & staples out of the wood, it’s really dry & the nails are stubborn. I used an angle grinder to shorten the protruding nails so they don’t bend when tapped back for later removal. It’s much quicker than snipping each one with pliers.
Amazing the difference a bit of Vitamin E cream makes to dry, flaky dermatitis-affected skin. Takes the itch away, too.
