Nice one

Admonish
Commercial = Ad
Scotsman = mon ( as in hoots mon there's a moose loose in the hoose  )
is hospital = ish
Carpet is slang for being told off / admonished

Is is hospital = ish east side of the pond colloquialism or CCC idiom I don't know.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The conventional sign for a hospital on either side of the pond (and most of the rest of the world) is a "H" - for a road sign it's often a White "H" on a Blue background, on a map it's a Blue "H", and so on.
It's a pretty standard CCC convention as well.

 I wonder of those salt drenched models will make it to market eventually and if they will be "fixing" the burnt ones for market again...
|
|
|
|
|
Probably will be bought by lovers of salted-car-amel

I wonder also, if this was a battery fire as VW is going for it in the EV space and there may have been more than a few battery packs on board.

According to the Portuguese media today (2022-02-21):
- the ship was still on fire although with less intensity
- there are a number (not specified) of electric cars onboard with their lithium batteries which is preventing the firefighters from addressing the fire in a traditional way (they need special equipment)
- a dutch tech team, hired by the ship owner, is waiting to go onboard and tow the ship to Europe
- also, a dutch tow boat, the "ALP Guard" from Gibraltar, is waiting to tow the ship
- a second tow boat, the "Thor B", is spraying the hull of the ship with water to cool it
- the cars include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini (some are/where Aventador Ultimae) and Bugatti Chiron, but there are other models too

I need to download a driver set for my new notebook, but it always stops before finishing.
|

Are they available by ftp? Most ftp implementations have a "resume" feature for interrupted transfers.

Good point. Even normal http downloads when they fail can sometimes be resumed. I just double click them and they either restart or resume in FF.
|
|
|
|
|

I use Vivaldi, and every time I remember having problems, there was a 'resume' button available in the download tabby thingy.

How humongous? I can download entire 7gb linux distros without a hiccup. How big could your driver set be?

Came here to post that. "Humongous" is relative. The size of drivers ought to be a rounding error nowadays when it comes to other types of files people download. If FF can't resume a broken download, I suspect the server's ability to support it has more to do with the problem.

This, right here.

MS-Edge seems to handle huge downloads. Download in a Private tab so you don't accidentally close the download.
