@matigo It’s old technology, goes back to the mid 1990s, I believe.
@variablepulserate I posted that question elsewhere. A person with the surname of Roy mentioned how tempting it could be to name a child "Quarter."
@variablepulserate Angela & Phillip Niss were students at a school I attended. Abysmally STUPID parents. A.Niss & P.Niss. Really?
I spent a $50 e-Gift card on a small box of Belgian chocolates & a glass halogen convection oven. So far I've cooked some thin pork steaks & a small frozen beef pie in it. This has great promise, air fryers are all the rage here at present & that's basically what this device is. Just a lot bigger at 12 litres capacity. When used as a broiler (aka griller in Oz) the halogen heat source is constantly on. At lower temperatures, the heat cycles on and off with the fan running continuously.
I asked a supermarket worker where they kept the tinned peaches. He said, "I'll see," and walked away. I asked another and he also said, "I'll see," and walked away.
In the end I gave up and found them myself, in Aisle C.
I attended a Zoom meeting from the Naples MacFriends User Group this morning. The presenter was fellow from Apple who covered Accessibility on Mac & mobile devices reasonably comprehensively in a one-hour presentation. He mentioned he had seven hours of stuff on the subject.
Now for the weird part: Apple requested that the proceedings NOT be recorded. Normally NMUG publishes the weekly meeting on their YouTube channel the following day. There was NOTHING of a sensitive nature in that presentation & there were no difficulties with saving the meeting's text transcript of all that was said plus the text chat behind the scenes of the Zoom meeting.
Last night I was walking home and decided to take a short cut past the cemetery… 3 girls walked up to me and explained that they were really scared to walk past the cemetery at night, so I agreed to let them walk along with me. I told them "I understand… I used to be freaked out too when I was alive…"
Never seen anyone run that fast!!..
@streakmachine I started my collection of Ryobi battery tools about 16 years ago with a hammer-drill using 2 NiCad batteries. Later I bought a wet & dry vacuum & a twin-tube fluorescent lamp. When those batteries died I discovered the One + batteries were compatible so I bought a 1.3 Ah lithium battery & charger to see if it would work.
Since then I've bough more batteries, some genuine & some cheapies from Amazon, I have three 2.5 Ah & a 5 Ah. Other tools are a multi-tool, 12-in bar chainsaw, tyre pump/air bed inflator, line trimmer with nylon cutting blades & last summer I was contemplating getting a misting fan.
@streakmachine If you can manage OK without the "juicy cameras" the 2nd gen SE is quite a good phone, containing most of the iPhone 11's components in an iPhone 8 shell. The 12 & 13 Minis are both smaller with bigger screens than the SE 2.
