> salt makes food taste better My stepfather would say the same thing. Whenever I'd eat a salad, he'd look at it and say "I can't eat that shit," then he'd eat a steak that had bee…

My greyhound rarely cocks his leg, and I would imagine that on the occasions he does that he's simply trying to mask a scent from a taller animal. He usually marks somewhat like a …

Head down to Curio Bay and see the remains of a forest from 180mya, too.

I think that signal strength would decrease along the lines of the inverse square, so after you're some distance out, depending on the initial signal strength you'd find it had dec…

I worked for a business that sold videos burned to very cheap blank DVDs, for a pretty high price. We tested them onsite, and had about a 20% failure rate (they cheaped out on the …

I'd fully expect the business to fire him for unethical or immoral behavior...

You've given me quite a chuckle - I'm glad someone took the time, given how long I put into it :)

> as opposed to an inate talent (or set of talents) [...] I'm pretty sure I'm someone with that talent, since I was never taught how to do it. I'm sure that it's innate, because I …

A few years ago, I was assaulted after a fashion. (The event could have caused permanent injury, even though it wasn't actually intended.) A friend of mine was a reporter for a loc…

I dual boot Win10 and Kubuntu 18.04, plus I run Kubuntu on my laptop. I use Skype in both Windows and Kubuntu. Under Windows, almost unbelievably, it never works right. It either c…

My brother lived in Australia for a while. He has olive skin but he's of European descent and can't shave closely, he gets a mild rash on his face. Every time he flew back to New Z…

Found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7mspVXGoik There are two greyhounds, not three. If I was downvoted for saying that greyhounds aren't good guard dogs, then whoever…

Some time back, my partner had a really sad event in her life, and she sat on the couch crying. We have two dogs, a happy yet dumb-as-a-rock greyhound, and a collie-staffie cross. …

There's a YouTube video that I can't find where three greyhounds are in a house, when someone kicks the door in. The greyhounds panic and hide behind the furniture while the guy he…

A friend of mine has a staffie/bull terrier cross, with who knows what else in her. The dog has the nicest nature I can imagine (that's the staffie), and usually seems like a reall…

I have a greyhound who occasionally likes to go for a run by himself. He doesn't think of it as a game, it seems to me that he's just off to patrol his territory. It's not just his…

A friend of mine had a similar problem. He leased a flat (New Zealand term for a rental of various sorts) and took photos of the place, including the thread-bare carpets. When he m…

I didn't remember them, so I had a look on YouTube. You're right, they were awful!

Thanks - I'd never heard of this. I guess one lesson here is to never trust a powerful man with everything to lose.

My partner really hated the Naked Gun films. She said they were stupid and not funny, although she loves Top Secret. One day, she got out of the shower about 10 minutes after I'd s…

I'm much the same. I have a surprisingly vivid memory (vivid for me, at any rate) of reading a comic book while riding in a car when I was 3 (for anybody familiar with Dunedin NZ i…

Thanks - very much appreciated! The battery is starting to age and is beginning to lose its charge quickly, so I'll look into that.
