One of my brothers lives in the same regional city as Mum’s aged care place. She fell out of bed this morning & has a fractured hip. I was asked to take a couple of “go bags” from there to the local hospital in case she had to be moved on to another better-equipped hospital for treatment/surgery. She is in her 92nd year.
My brother can’t do it, he’s in Covid isolation at one end of the big house while his wife, who is Covid positive and isolating at the other end. Plenty of room to move, their two kids have moved out, there are showers, toilets & TV rooms at each end. Not sure how they’re handling meals.
@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.
