Just need to vent...

It's getting to the roots that always fascinates me. Bous in Greek is apparently a cow (hence also bovine) and kolos something like to cultivate; a boukolos is someone who 'cultivates' cows: a cowherd.

 

entomology of the word is Jewish. Kind of not well known unless you're more familiar with the culture. Similar to the Jewish cultural word, 'schmekel' . Decades ago I was at a giant state funded wedding for a couple in Mexico City that were mostly jewish. At our table I asked what that word meant and it didn't seem to be too traumatic to anyone that I had asked

 

Chihuahuas are small - they're easy to miss.....

 

Doesn't that only apply to words with exoskeletons?

 

Could the 86s be temperature indicated in Fahrenheit?

 

Did the same. Vent to the outside with a fan continuously running.

 

I'm guessing it is for a commercial truck, and has the ability to provide info for a third axle or trailer. The clock dividing up the blocks is awkward, but only one has a front. The pressure in those tires could be over 100psi; 97 is on the low end from a search.

 

Commercial aircraft tire pressures typically range from 150 to 200 psi. If one of those vents, be far away.

 

I guess there are no copyeditors anymore. Can't somebody make AI do that?

Catching a glimpse of it will probably be the cheapest way to enjoy it. With production expected to begin next year, the Model A's price tag will cost about $300,000​

makes you wonder if they couldn't just write the price on the windshield like they do down at the used-car lot.

 

Just spent $1300 USD to keep up with Microsoft. GRR. The 15-year-old HP desktop I bought refurbished from Woot 12 years ago is still fine and I am using it now.

It's the Windows 10 thing. On Oct. 14, apparently all Windows 10 computers vaporize -- or maybe just schlep away. I did not verify, but "heard" in Europe, a Windows 10 update that costs $30 in USA is free in Europe and will keep your box running "safely" for another year.

So, read Kris' post here about this and decided she had a good idea about an All-in-One computer. Wife has continually complained about our 20" monitor. Ordered a $1300 HP AIO setup from Costco. Arrived DOA.

Back to Costco where they quickly and merrily refunded my cash (which is why I bought it there). I knew that particular unit had a rep, and Costco has easy returns for 90 days on computers. Decided not to try my luck again.

Now, on Amazon Prime Day(s), just ordered a Dell SFF (that's small form factor -- SFF -- a small desktop) from Dell. It's the QCS1250, Ordered a monitor from Amazon (amazon was touting the monitor as a huge Prime Day discount at $157 USD, but it was marked down to the same price at Dell (from $250 USD).

Would have ordered both from Dell, but Dell is a pain to try to return anything and Amazon does not support customizing the computer and their pre-builds did not meet my specs.

What? I thought you are were metric pros? I batted around for several minutes yesterday trying to convert 24-D to ounces

 

I have no evidence that Americans understand our non-SI system any better.

 

Very true.....

 

like everything, two systems are much less efficient than one. i started a standard mechanics tool set from sears.
then i bought an mg. now i have to re arm with metric.

we're still on ounces/pints/quarts and gallons, but every time i get medical orders, i have to convert eveything.
we should have just switched when we intended to. now, it's just a cluster*%#!

 

Have there been others besides the "Gimli Glider"?
