The answer is another question - How deeply does the average person go into it? Most of us don't know how to apply most of the features of WORD, but most of us can produce what we want from what we do know of it.

After finishing the boot room, I've been being lazier than normal. Today I decided to treat myself by dong little jobs that didn't relate to the reno, or we reno jobs that we not high on the TTD list, but doing them was satisfying. The major job - reno related - was cutting the timber to make the external window casing for the window in the wall that I painted. I have been having trouble with my drop saw not cutting fully across a board. In fact I was thinking of buying an old radial arm saw the Men's Shed is selling. Anyway, I was messing around with it the other day, and I don't know what I did, but now that problem is gone. So I was able to cut the timber to size with 445 degree angles at the ends. I tested the fit and it was spot on. Then I got a bout of laziness and gave up the idea of painting on a coat of undercoat. There's always tomorrow. The next job was to cut and fit plugs into the holes where the coach screws hold the 4 x 2 hardwood timber to the frame of my carpenter's workbench. (Now you know how I know about the toughness of old hardwood since those 4 x 2s are the real thing out of a demolished old house). I had a length of dowel. so I set up my bandsaw and cut a heap of 15 mm long plugs from it. Then I bashed them in with a wooden mallet and flush trimmed them and sanded them level with the bench top. It was one of those jobs that was more cosmetic than practical, but it's been on my mind for a while. Now it's done and it made me happy. I even got the shop vacuum out and vacuumed the floor of my car. Too many bindii seeds and bits of grass. I even cleaned the brick dust out of the vacuum's filter. Amongst all that I managed to take a run into town and go to the library to get the fourth story in the Thursday Murder Club series to finish off the series. So it's off to bed now to start reading it.

It's good to get your hands on that old hardwood, but it was hardwood when it initially was used, now, years later, its bloody hard wood. Be prepared to be sharpening cutting tools very often.

I think that comment was a bit of hyperbole. Just an expression to convey the idea that the dealer didn't do the slightest thing to indicate some sympathy.

Give him a chair in the first outbound flight.

I bow to your superior knowledge.

Noted and accepted. I think that you have to consider the car buying process. In you example, you were after a car, and I imagine that cost was high on the list of factors determining your decision. So you were happy to go to an auction and buy on an "as is, where is" basis. But consider the person who has been considering a vehicle purchase and has done due diligence to find out as much about the alternatives as possible and makes the purchase based on the assessment of that research. How would the person feel if after making the purchase, the vehicle didn't live up to the hype? What if attempts to rectify things that one would expect to be rectifiable continually failed? That creates disappointment, and if the manufacturer's representative or the manufacturer does nothing to ease that disappointment what does the average person do? They strongly criticise the vehicle, the dealer and the manufacturer.

Clearly it refers to the whole experience of dealing with the Brand. Little courtesies mean a lot.

The saddest thing about George Negus's passing is that he endured Alzheimer's.

Which is all well and good if doing those things is your choice of career path. However, the majority of the populations chooses other pathways where AI is hardly relevant to their day-to-day lives. However, their lives are affected by the storymakers who use the listener's lack of understanding of AI to create the modern equivalent of ghost and bug-eyed monster stories to feed our fear of the unknown. We are being urged to upgrade to Windows 11 to access great new features, but how many of us can live quite happily with features introduced in Windows 7 without suffering loss of efficiency?

Here's an example of what globalisation has done to a lot of consumer product manufacturing.

At least the other Messiah arranged for the supply of loaves and fishes.

That's one way to keep an audience.

Isn't that what globalisation has done to a lot of consumer product manufacturing? Smaller companies produce a few components which another manufacturer uses to assemble a bigger component which then goes to the major assembler to be put into the final product. Just think of vehicle electrical components. Remember Lucas, Bosch and AC? The biggest differences between similar products from different manufacturers can simply be the name badge. Take power tools for instance. In many cases the "skin" is the same general form, with changes to the colour of the plastic, but the internals are basically the same. The only difference with the internals is that the cheaper versions for DIY use might have nylon gears while the ones for professional use have metal ones.

Howard was lampooned as the little kid whining about not getting the things he wanted. Think of the song by Moving Pictures, What about me? Well, there's a little boy waiting At the counter of the corner shop He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day They never ever see him from the top. Based solely on appearance, Albo strikes me as another little boy who is being ignored or picked on. It's that physical appearance and his voice (as well as possibly a slight speech impediment) that fail to give him the Leader image that is essential for a Party leader.

Reminds me of Paddy and Mick who were looking for work and saw a sign in a stock & station agent's window. It read "Tree Fellers wanted". Paddy said to Mick, "Sure, it's a pity ders only two of us."

I wonder who scored that as a birthday present.

But does a 10 year warranty this year mean that the car is better than it was last year with only a 7 year warranty? Seem that increasing the warranty period is more a product of the Sales Department than the Design Department.

Insufficient detail. Please resubmit.

Hunting with firearms is either banned in some locations, or landowners will not give permission for shooters to come onto their properties. Recently the NSW National Parks Service has begun a trial of controlling feral cats by shooting. The numbers of feral cats has exploded due to the recent good seasons. Similarly the numbers of feral pigs have risen. Of course, the reason that landowners won't allow shooters on their properties is due to the absolute minority who do stupid things.

I just reviewed my budget this morning. I have a credit union account with three sub accounts. I had my daughter create an Excel spreadsheet so I could enter the various amounts that I need to put aside for future bills. I have a sub account for monthly bills like Telstra and vehicle insurance; one for vehicle registration and CTP, and another for savings. Any payments come out of the main account and I simply top that up from the sub accounts as required, when I remember, but the money is always there when it's needed. While this method makes financial management convenient, what I find is that it has done is given me a growing nest egg. I am squirrelling away more money that I ever have, and that is despite the money I spend on materials for the renovation. Nowadays I don't worry about getting work done on my car because I know the money is there to pay for it. In fact I really like to receive the bill from my mechanic and be able to sit down at the computer as soon as I get home and pay it. Having worked in aircraft maintenance where owners a notoriously slow payers, I feel that paying immediately gives you kudos with people. Sometimes I even get my mechanic to obtain parts and I pay for them before the car even before I drop off the car. I don't see why a small business should be required to carry my debt.

We tend to think that the Australian culture is uniform, but it is not. We've sanitised the differences by ceasing to use the term "class", but now we refer to socio-economic groups, a rose by any other name ... The recruiting stations for these groups which base their membership on racist ideologies are located in those areas where the financially disadvantaged have been dumped. Financial disadvantage over several generations creates a subculture which differs from that of the economically comfortable and more so from the economically advantaged. It creates an anger towards those who are different, and manipulators can channel that anger to suit the manipulators' agendas.

I wish you well!

Big money in old tractors, especially if they have been kept under cover.

When I moved from Sydney, I just threw all my household goods into boxes and they have been sitting unsorted since then. Today I decided to make an all out attack on what were the contents of the linen cupboard. I've got more bath towels and bed sheets than Conrad Hilton. So into a heavy duty plastic bag went the first lot, mainly tea towels and orphan pillow cases. I'll need to get some more bags for the rest of the bath towels and doona cover sets. I also went through all my shirts as well as hoodies and such and pulled out the ones that were either too big for me now or that I just didn't like. On Monday I'll cart it all to the local OP Shop and give my sister something to do puting it on the shelves. Amongst everything else she does in the community, she volunteers at the OP Shop. Can't stop the girl, and she is my elder sister.
