In the “good old days”, such as they were, many trains had luggage compartments in the carriage, or an entire carriage for luggage, a caboose if you will. Different solutions are required today for the commuting cyclist of today, perhaps one or two carriages equipped with extra racks would do the job.

Interesting stuff on the radio today:

🙂 Jeepers, the “needle jumps” 50 secs in. Someone over there mentioned Lord of the Flies/Children of the Corn/Planet of the Apes, thus the moral of the story is: Fat wins the day? 😛
Yes, and newsflash read all about it, all those great films will never make it over on any of the umpteen fta channels over here. 🙁
Don’t recommend watching The One…[Read more]

Weird, Bergeron was a Frenchman, from a French family, with a motto on the fca in English. His father doesn’t have it, but Nicolas much earlier has it. She uploaded the image to the site with nary a historical reference, thus it has merrily propagated to other commercial heraldry sites like this with the usual beguiling authentic look.
Yeah the…[Read more]

Can be! A Google image search will reveal much, he might have based his mods on a real fca, you just have to find it. 😛
Posted a question over at Genealogy going way way back – you know, as Google search evolves to encompass more content, so do the the mysteries multiply. 😛

Interesting – the info on Wikipedia suggests a minimum time interval before melt as 1000 years, is it possible sooner?
Just a couple of posts back:

Toronto trains are trams on steroids

Over here, our commuter trains are trams on downers, and that’s on a good day!
And someone from Reddit said trackless trams are glorified buses. It matters little…[Read more]

Purchased a single use licence for AceMovi some time back, not a bad program to use, found out later the licence is per machine, not user. To use the licence on a second machine, PM them for a new key, so that the old key on the old machine won’t work anymore.
They, like most other editors have common video techniques documented, including the Ken…[Read more]

As the new tablet has begun to acquire cobwebs, and the 8 year old tablet already starting to show a little wonkiness, went ahead and transferred the data with Smart Switch. Went fairly well, although the program can be a bit picky if things are not plugged in the required sequence. 🙂
Fun fact, the micro Usb 2.0 to USB C cable purchased for the…[Read more]

Yep, such actors get a rep as leading lights in their own unique way – typically when they score much coveted roles on offer like Lamp Post #1. 😛
Yet, Shallow Grave gets a fairly positive rap from th eviewers, so on the list – as does the (unrelated) 1994 movie. 🙂
Have you seen A.I. Artificial_Intelligence? Much investment in time and resources…[Read more]

Yep, attempting to convince a 240 lb butcher wielding a meat cleaver his mince sucks is arisky at best. 😛
There are some good bike trails in Florida, pity they do not co-exist with main roads very well. Problem the world over. 🙁
In the Florida Keys Heritage Trail, there’s “obey all traffic laws.” Over here bikes on trails aren’t considered as…[Read more]

Indeed, and as Gordon Gekko might have once said, “Green is good!”
Talking of bones and teeth, here’s a nice sound

Sounds like a robotosaurus would make the perfect villian in the next Transformers movie! 🙂

Never judge a magazine by its cover, go to the back page and check out the cartoons first! 😛

Having a major bitch about our national emblem minced, cracked teeth are no fun at all.

Neither do they focus on Ley Lines, Te lapa, Fairy Circles, creepypasta, or things that go bump in the night!

Yeah, the 45 minute episode formula, even the original X-Files was no more than a bunch of lightly serialised single episode stories – ever come across anything that spanned more than one episode?

We did mention Starwars – so came across…[Read more]

Ooh, missed that, or misread it. Or they have changed the wording- here’s plenty of mods for Palworld just loaded up today. A couple for yesterday though. 🙂
Yep, because Nintendo never chose to make their content available cross-platform, it’s sour grapes when someone else “does it.” 😛

Is it possible for the captive Mewtwo to escape? It seems that once he was used by Giovanni, so he is one to watch as well!
Nexus won’t host content for Palworld. The level of hubbub in controversy is sacling up, there’s the question of ripoff, do you think that’s fair?

The Children Act is a classy piece bringing to sharp relief the folly of adhering to rules of religion, and, spoiler alert, it has a rather depressing outcome.
OTOH, the opposite effect tonight after the screening of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, a cracking cast and script (highlights).

The extra…[Read more]

Might be best to consider open source alternatives like Omnivore or Wallabag where there’s a facility to port data over. How big is your database? Some cross platform rtf files can have a tendency to bloat – is it possible to convert them to something else?
Not quite the same thing though – certain sites which provide personal favourite sections -…[Read more]

Checked the IA for the time, no dice – even posted the links to them, the only response was from our ever present friend Mr. Nokandu.
At first spec FindMyPast has quite a few nice features albeit somewhat intrusive, did a search for a name on their site while logged on, and promptly in came an email entitled ” We’ve discovered something just for…[Read more]

The forums migration at CPanel still burns hot in some memories, the post formats were not carried through in every case, and a few posts that were made around the time of migration were lost forever!
