So you sit at the exam and the teacher says you can start.
You look at the clock and it says 13:00 (ok, it's actually points to 1).
Later, you log in to the portal and find out you actually took it at 15:00.
You take another flight and now it says 22:00.
Yes, that's an excellent point of reference!
You must miss a lot of appointments...

Yeah, sure. People actually die from summer/winter time, but I guess this will be ok...

Nope, the idiots have chosen summer time, because they actually intend to follow the results of a survey that < one percent of the population has responded to.

I tested and fixed the Hebrew calendar part for that library a few years back... A great effort...

Nice. The Hebrew calendar is complicated! I only know a little bit about it from the Biblical feasts, etc.

I keep some backups at Box.com in the form of 250 MB 7Zip files. My current internet provider is mobile phone hotspot, so it's ... spotty.  I figure that there is some app that can help this by somehow continuing the connection, etc., until the download is complete.
Any ideas?

Depends if the other ends allows resuming broken downloads.
I've used wget.exe to download multi-GB files, stopping, and resuming.
It's been a long time I've thought of a 250MB download as being "big".

.... where is the piano for left Hand People?
Can you imaging how it looks?
Is it enough to cut the piano in half and then rearrange the two parts? In case yes, I think it is more cheap to buy two pianos and use them "paralell".
Now, I'm right Hand, and for me cdefgah for the right and hagfedc for the left is trained. But if I think deeper to this, what does this means for left Hand People?
Only a thought anyway

What is this 'h' tone you speak of?
While many other instruments have lefty models, I've never heard about a lefty piano and doubt whether there is such a thing. It could be argued that lefties have an advantage on a piano since the left hand is responsible for rhythm. Think about it, left handed guitars are basically reversed so that the dominate hand is handling the rhythm while the right hand is responsible for the melody.

Quote: What is this 'h' tone you speak of?
It is very common here (at least for piano) to call the 'B' as 'H'. More and more this convention disappears for guitarists.

That sounds very Logical. On the other Hand (  ) they may have a disadvantage for a virtuoso solo with the weak Hand.

I appreciate you considering the needs of my people. We are oppressed and it's nice to hear one from the majority recognizing that we exist.

I was writing before I was 5, left-handed. Then I was sent to school, and they forced me to be right-handed.
So I'm the perfect spy for the sinisters!

Finally found a way to run the WWII game "Day of Infamy" without my Dell gaming notebook heating up quickly.
First thing I noticed was that running on battery my notebook didn't heat up at all and I could play the game without any problems.
Think this has to do with the Nvidia driver lowering the frame rate to max 30 fps when on battery power, unfortunately there was no option to turn this on all the time, or I was unable to find it.
Fiddling with the power settings and throttling the processor to 75% max solved my problem.
For those who want to try this, in Windows 10 this can be found under "Advanced Power Settings" in
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings .
