You are too silent in recent days.
Don't worry, I'm always
silently watching.
Your bicycle vs. truck NEAR TOTAL DISASTER!!!!! and almost did dieding isn't an annual event is it?
No, I like to
change the way of
almost did dieding each year. I hope you don't mind the
spoiler, but I'm playing with some old monochrome
computer monitors. One of them has a
YELLOW sticker on its
flyback reading
13200V. I wonder what that means...
Yo cohoelo cuidado, sin importar el número de pasajeros como lo hace Boeingeee Bobbieee.
For what is worth, I
don't stop at crossings if the barriers are open, but
slow down and look both sides. If carrying a
large number of
noisy, obnoxious passengers, I would most certainly be
more suicidal. Regrettably I don't drive any kind of motor vehicle...

It means you've got a wussy monitor.
Serious monitors have 25kV or more.

Are you calling the
mighty IBM 5151 a "wussy monitor"? Maybe you are still using the
front panel LEDs of your
Altair 8800 and are a bit
jealous?

Ah, I would have loved to have had one of those! The Altair, that is, not the 5151.
My first computer was about half a notch above the Altair:

Important note to anyone using such a device: before setting it down on the carpet to fool around with it, check to make sure nobody has previously dropped a paper clip on said bit of carpet, which being conductive and all, will bring your computer to an untimely end.

Regarding Espanol...
Apologies if I missed something, but was there a 'better' way to say "In the Shade"?
You and/or Gabbie pointed out that it means more "In the Shadow" and I get the subtleties of those two in Ingles; however, Mexican folks have their Sombrero hats (which provide both shade AND cast a shadow).
Gracias en la advancia.

Arreglado.

My comment was part me being a
smartasshat, part
genuine question of the differences between
shadow and
shade, which I didn't fully understand
(I thought that maybe "shade" was "penumbra"*).
I now have googled and found
a relative of Per with the same doubt.
What Per's friend says applies also to Spanish: We use "
sombra" for
both shade and shadow.
(*Penumbra is a light shade. Gloom, according to Google).

If only the same could be said for that nice brief phrase which
*we use to imply: Relax, enjoy life and don't work too hard.

We?
Yes, we non_spanish-speaking people...

Update:
Now I'm playing with
Li-ion batteries.
Disassembled three -one of them
fully charged- with
sharp, pointy metal objects and
brute force. Installed one of said batteries in a headlight that wiill be in
contact with my forehead. Installed another in my
multimeter, directly over the
circuit board, surrounded by the
thermistor, the wimpy
glass fuse and the
ammeter shunt. The day I measure
mains voltage in the
Ohm range or the power consumption of my house by
sticking the leads to a power socket -using the
unfused 20A range, of course- might be spectacularly
unforgettable.
Oh, and I'm now
recharging some
overdischarged cells. If I stop posting again, check the
Darwin Awards recipients.

...I'm sure it's just me, but I was identifying the weeds...
...just a little too distracting (not that the gravel pile from several months ago was LESS distracting (but not to Brian)). And I genuinely meant it regarding a slightly higher perspective (although you'd loose some of that great under-wing view).
The photographer should spray the weeds with a toxic agrochemical!
I moved the comment here because I would very much like to know Not_Karl's opinion, since he's the only one that hasn't weighed in...

DO NOT CONCUR.
But
DO CONCUR with
ATLCrew2548m. I like the
VintagePropPhoto and the weeds add to the
atmosphere of it. I think that your
hate for
plants, birds and the environment in general is
affecting your
judgement.

On the other hand, regarding our Not_happy friend and his rejected-due-to-similar-image-in-the-database JetPhoto, I fully agree with the screeners. It is similar, doesn't add anything new and is Not_particularly spectacular.
