Expensive month. First the hot water system died via a water leak that, over two months, doubled my water usage bill. Now the microwave oven is dead. I dropped a dish on the floor & when I picked it up the back of my head contacted the open microwave door, dislodging sime vital safety catch insude the door. So even with the door shut there's no response to any input & the light stays on. The thing was only 12 years old. A replacement of slightly less power (1100w vs 1200w) has been purchased.
OK, here's another shed pic I was able to (mostly) salvage with a crop. but there's still some smudginess to the left.
Here's one of the shed pics with the fuzzy end cropped off.
It's an example of adapting an old shed to more modern farming practices. Observe the cutaway in the edge of the roof above the entry. This allows a tractor-mounted forklift to get the second layer of round haybales in on top of the first layer without coming into contact with the low roof edge.
If you look closer, the upper-left bale has the lifting forks (demounted from the tractor) in place, ready to be used. You can see how little clearance the shed modification really provides.
Damn, that's annoying. It's a bright, sunny day & I've been taking photos of interesting sheds on country roads with the iPhone. Back home, viewing them on the Mac, there's a blur/smear on the end of each pic. Why? Because the lens protector part of the Lifeproof case I keep the phone in has a smudge on it. All the photos will have to be done again. At least the iPhone has recorded the location of each one, so I can go back with the Nikon D5100 DSLR.
Some folk are just so thick. The local carwash offers tyre/engine clean, low-pressure prewash, high-pressure soap, suds brush, foaming conditioner/polish, high-pressure hot wax, high-pressure rinse & low-pressure mist rinse. The foaming conditioner is supposed to go on painted surfaces only after wash & rinse processes.
So this daft woman enters the wash bay in a clean dry car & proceeds to spray the foaming conditioner on every surface without dampening them. Glass, paint, plastic, all done. Then she grabs the suds brush (with no soap running through it) and spreads the foamy polish with the slightly damp brush. Hello scratched paintwork, dopey!
Each cleaning feature has words & pictures of the processes on a big placard beside the control panel. No excuses for not knowing how to use them. But this daft cow goes in and essentially deliberately scratches her paintwork thru ignorance.
I stopped watching at this point as another bay had become free for me to give my dusty car a quick clean.
@hazardwarning Porridge in various forms is good stuff. I'll admit to being rather partial to highland oatcakes & they're not much more than dried porridge
Followed a PopSci link from Twitter. As expected, it went to the PopSci Australia website which didn't have that article. I hate shit like that. So I copied the URL & pasted it into the Opera browser with VPN activated.
Problem solved.
Q: Three men in a boat with four cigarettes but no matches or other ignition sources. What to do?
A: Easy. Throw one cigarette overboard. The whole boat becomes a cigarette lighter.
@gtwilson I get that happening on the Mac. I use Epichrome in association with Chrome browser to make Cappuccino into a site-specific browser. Remembering to definitely click in the reply window is the trick, but it's likely harder on iOS.
