Anything oil based, like plastic, is the bodies of another animals. Your dog is probably wearing a plastic collar, if not a leather one … oh wait!

I’m not criticising you. I’m trying to get someone to explain what the end result is; which you did just above.
I don’t know the product names. I don’t tend to be focused on product names because they come and go. Your first message didn’t help me.
Your last precis is just what I needed. Ideal. Thank-you.
- Comment on Traefik with Socket Activation via Podman Quadlets 1 week ago:
Wasn’t being critical at all. Not expecting you to write for anyone.
I wondered what this actually provides. If you were explaining to someone with a good knowledge of the world, not grandma!!

Thanks fella. What do they actually do? Elevator pitch stylie!

Excuse the ignorance, what am I actually reading about here?
I read the first few paragraphs and an out of my league.
What are ‘we’ trying to achieve?

This got me wondering about lionising Go in films. I think I need to start a such a movement amongst directors or screen writers.

Oh ok.
I haven’t been to a circus recently. My knowledge in that area is wanting, I’ll admit. 😳

The irony of using ‘Z’ in the title.
It’s our language; you broke it.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 1 week ago:
Cars younger than last century have two modes of indicator available.
[ BMW, Merc and Audi drivers: nothing to see here. Not in this whole post and comments. ]
A soft push in either direction gives a brief - I don’t know what the definition/legal requirement is - period where the indicator flashes before cancelling itself.
A harder push has the indicator stay in that position until the steering wheel or the driver cancels it and it stops.
Maybe you’re complaining about people using the soft mode.
In my country, there is no requirement to indicate when moving back to your lane after moving into the/a overtaking lane. I think that’s a little weird tbh. I’ve always indicated, wherever I’m going, on the basis that when I don’t, someone will sideswipe me through my own negligence.
Of course, these days the sodding lane-change Nazi in my car won’t let me pass any line, but happily forcefully steers me into the hedgerow/ditches on country lanes where there are no road markings. You can turn it off every time but not generally.
- Comment on What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere? 1 week ago:
Hell, I remember a time people just said “um”, “er” quietly and paused between words when they hadn’t thought the thought through.
Instead now they use ‘like’ as a space between words whilst the processing is still taking place.
It gets real confusing when what they’re explaining is the concept of similes.

Given the electronic searching of your electronic gadgets (phone etc) that they can/will do before you get in, I think I’ve made my lifetime’s visits to the US already.
I really wanted to see the Midwest. There was a good person who piqued my interest further talking to me about it here recently.

At this point, I just see it as a Microsoft/Meta move: buy, absorb, destroy. Use as tax loss.

Biggest mistake is not repeating the wash-rinse twice. Ask a hairdresser why they do it that way.

Sounds idyllic. Back in the day ('95 ish) Mrs and I flew into Boston and toured the five states around there in about two-three weeks (!) just getting a taster. Went back again later but had mother-in-law and kids with us so look-see wasn’t going to happen.
Loved New England, especially the seafood (even the tourist version) but couldn’t do the over-commercialisation (ten minutes of programme then five of adverts).
By contrast, I love the looser financial controls. I passed the US SEC Series 7 and UK Registered Representatives prior, so the contrast was immediate.
Being in the middle of nowhere with a media server in the internet age sounds the best of both worlds.
Congrats sir! Enjoy!

That’s the thing I’m taking about!
It’s a bit scary tbh. If you don’t do (steer) what it says it shakes the steering wheel as if a wheel was seriously unbalanced or broken.
It’s my first new-to-me car in a while. So I’m enjoying most of the new tech but not quite this bit!
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 2 weeks ago:
Well said! Blighty here.
There were so many complaints on the forums about it that I thought it was going to be a nightmare, but it’s not quite as bad as I was expecting TBF. I just have to be very careful on road merges and those funky country lanes.
Didn’t get to visit Pittsburgh so far but would love to, country is a necessarily shrinking resource here these days.

There are specific instructions for Audi, BMW and Mercedes which void their warranties should you ever even think such scandalous thoughts.
- Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready 2 weeks ago:
UniFi seem to have dabbled with 2.5 GBE briefly and then jumped to 10. I’m guessing that 10 will be the way to go.
You’re looking at cat 6A patch leads rather than 7. 7 requires different but RJ45 compatible connectors, I believe. Yes, I’m still trying to understand what the difference is.
I have a 2.5G router, the CG Max. A 1 G switch (waiting for a reasonably priced 10 G) and a 10 G WAP. It’s a bit of a mess!

Typically only the ones from my local doctor’s surgery are legit no number (UK). Government agencies provide numbers these days as far as I’ve seen.
