What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
Yesterday I was given a gift bag with all kinds of $1 shop stuff. I discovered that I quite like chocolate coated chick peas. No longer like Pringles. Given the conformity of shape and texture, I 've begun to suspect they might be an extruded product . Oh, the taste? Ewww, that stroke inducing amount of salt. The roasted almonds were nice.

The big disk of a sunflower is not the "flower" part. The little blooming florets all over its face are the flowers.

 Thanks, I didn't know that. I'll have to change the way I've been painting sunflowers  Blush

This is the cover of Steely Dan's Aja. It turns out that it was designed by someone you're probably aware of. Just not as a graphic artist. Can you guess who?

A young Canadian named Phil Hartman. Yes, that Phil Hartman.

Mel Brooks’ four guest appearances on the American sitcom ‘Mad About You’ all resulted in huge cost overruns. Not due to Brooks’ salary (he did it for scale), but because his ad-libbing kept breaking up the cast and crew, necessitating numerous re-shoots.

That I'm a little bit jealous of The Wife. She does what I wish I could do, the way I wish I would do it, and other people see her as I wish to be seen.

Good on her, don't get me wrong...but fucking how? How did she do it?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

 Me too. That is not to say I envy my ex wife. She was a hypocritical cow and most people loved her.

Some wise Greek once said: Each man is three people: As he sees himself, As others see him and As he really is"
(the Ancient Greeks were misogynist arseholes; here 'Man" means person)

What I learned yesterday;  I backed up my router's settings, but was unable to download it during the reset. Fortunately I had written down all of the settings. Most are factory defaults. It's only with port forwarding and VPN that I needed to do some changes.  I thought, "I'll just print the settings I backed up". But noooo, youse can't do that; it's in CFG format and I haven't been able to find a way of translating it into plain text.

I also managed to stuff up the LAN settings.  Now the Android TV is demanding the Domain name, username and password before it will allow me to access my internal network via SMB.(network shares) I have the Domain name, but have no idea of the user name and password ( I tried the ones I have)  However, can still access via UPnP. (universal Plug n Play) Annoying just the same. I think I need to change the internal network settings.

In the meantime, I'd be ever so grateful if anyone can tell me how to translate CFG code into plain English text.

Still learning. Sadly, it's often the hard way.  Dodgy

 Yeah, I quite like them.  I once got them confused with Steeleye Span, but only the once.  Dodgy
