John Howard?!
I remember a T-shirt or a placard bearing the words βJohn Hunt is a Cowardβ!πππ

I don't like him much.. but someone mention recently that he was the one that remove lots of guns from circulation after a mass shooting. Never happen again since then.
So there is that....

|
|
I remembered for the play on his name.... go back and re-read the statement!πππ

Oh, yes, nothing to do with John Howard!

FB pulled a comment of mine after the following exchange:
Anon: "Don't ask me to tell you what I think of the Stone Roses."
Me: "I wouldn't. Ian Brown will come round and punch you out!"
This was (obviously) meant as a joke (he has a bit of a reputation), but the censorship bots clearly have no SOH. To this day, my account still carries a 'warning' status because of it. Well, FB, you can take that and stick it.
Anyway no, I see no mileage in chasing it up. There's a brick wall over there - if you're desperate, you can bang you head on that.

I'm just figuring out all the neat stuff i can do with it. Like octocoupling a circuit to prevent a ground loop, with just a tiny IC chip. =)
Turns out I can build a reliable MIDI breakout without the pain of a non silicon based coupler like they used to use.
I know it's not new tech, but it's new to me, because I'm relatively new to *this*.
I actually picked up circuit building 2 years before I started coding, but once I learned to code I put it down because it was hard to keep myself in materials at such a young age. Software is vapor, once you have the machine.

Careful! The blue ringed octopus has no less than two deadly poisons, When it octocouples you, you are done.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

hahaha I meant optocouplers.

I first thought you meant the wonders of silicone. (Did some plumbing recently; don't try without it).
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

That stuff is pretty handy too, but it never does anything exciting when I apply current to it.

That depends very much on where the silicone is implanted.

So, why? Well, I bought a new phone from (whisper it) Amazon back in December. It's a Nokia G20, and it's great. But, after I'd had it for a few days it wouldn't power up one morning so I sent it back for repair.
(Time passes, no sign of it being returned to me, working or otherwise.)
So, tl;dr; Amazon gave me another one.
(Time passes, and meanwhile I learn that all G20's sometimes do this and will only come back on if you hold down the power button for like 3 days. Conclusion: old phone was working fine all along. Hey-ho.)
And then, nearly FIVE MONTHS after I sent it back, guess what? Yep, here it is, back from the great beyond. Bizarre.
So now I have two (even down to them having identical cases - more fool me), and of course I'm always picking up the wrong one. First world problem. But we plan to give one to my mother-in-law so that she can watch the tennis, so it's an ill wind etc. Result.
And thanks to all for putting up with bipolar me. I'll try to keep a lid on things when times are bad.

Not sure if that's a serious question, but yes, if it's man enough for what you want to use it for it's excellent. Specs are modest but it does everything I want, the battery lasts for 2-3 days, and it has what, for me, is a must-have, to whit a micro SD card slot. If you direct all your photos and vids there, 64 GB of internal storage goes a long way. 'Amazon Basics' cards seem to work well. Avoid the cheapies.
Android 11, two years of updates (IIRC), Β£130 odd all-in, what's not to like? I have no affiliations to disclose.
Question: how do you get that clickety thing in your post?
