Kninjanin, I will just wait until Dan sees your question, he will perhaps tell us his plans?

So few of us here now on a regular basis, but I enjoy the connection with every single person here!

Enjoyed both of these, Tink!

And for an easier way of making a living, well I worried about the sword swallower who meanwhile was juggling...ouch, don't want to make a quick move there...

Hi Kninjanin,

I did not really know how the spamming was organized, and so no, I did not really realize there were such jobs you could apply for as such!

But here, from your link, is part of the job description, and it certainly does appear to be spamming, in very dignified and official language...

• Test pending campaigns within all browsers/web configurations
• Analyze usability and compatibility across devices
• Follow standard process to import data lists from various sources, including validating and cleaning lists prior to upload to maintain good database hygiene
• Optimize data quality using automated programs to perform regular data hygiene activities

Hi Kninjanin, thank you and I am going to wait for more answers and comments here so that I can learn more about this!

Hi Rooster,

A long time ago, one of my closest friends was a weatherman, and he had come to a remarkable understanding of how to study the land and how...

Apparently, one science that people have never considered adequately is how to really adapt our living to cycles of an ecosystem. California just makes me tremble...all the devastation there each summer now...in some places fanned by Santa Ana winds...

Some areas probably should never be built at all, others with a very low density of homes. Sometimes, fire suppression leads to buildup of natural detritus; tinder-dry over decades, so that when a fire does finally break through the suppression methods, the destruction is far worse.

As you already know I am cynical about life in general right now, but I see here the likelihood that the push to make money by building homes in unsafe conditions has taken priority over the safety of those who live there.

And I don't know what we can do about it, at this point.

I watched the first two, and this judge is delightful Dan!

Yes he may be one of the best judges...sense of humour is good!

omg, in Finnish baseball you cannot get a home run by hitting it out of the field!

Dan, I have only known about cricket, never knew of these others in Finland and Wales.

and Stoolball is new to me altogether!

Kninjanin, I used to go to Pinterest occasionally, mostly because they have such wonderful graphics...however, within the last couple of weeks they have upgraded their site so that my old computer can no longer access it.

SOMEDAY ima have to bite the bullet and go for a newer model computer!

Hi Dan,

I watched both videos, and even though the woman did not act as I would have, still I think the weight of responsibility is on the police officers here.

They (the police) acted very badly, and it is reprehensible. 

The police need better training, maybe to hire officers more skilled than these in human relations. The woman did not carry herself well, but the police were FAR worse. And it is the responsibility of the police to behave well, even when the public does not.

I would fire these officers, and quick....unacceptable, especially since she is a woman and they are male. If manhandling was really needed, it should be done by a woman (and a woman might not even let things escalate like that).

I have been looking at the life of Bismarck on YouTube, Rooster. I was surprised there is not much of good quality about his life, but there are a few videos...Tink found one...

That statement is remarkable. The subsequent warfare in the Balkans led into World War I. Bismarck was a genius, I have read.
