It's why I rather be a surfie than swim in the ocean.
You can't outswim a rip, that's where then most death occur in Australia, drowning out of exhaustion.
Swim perpendicular to it until you're out of the rip.
But, when you're on your surfboard, you won't be take away by the rip and you can easily come back to the shore or rest.
Other than that, I am not quite what "danger" you're talking about... mmm... But gun don't quite seem necessary...

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.
