I remember console TVs. Having 6 channels, 4 vhf, 2 uhf. And when Tvs had knobs

Triphid replies on Dec 27, 2018:

Shit, '6 T.V. channels' when I was a kid we only had one, the Australian ABC channel and that was in black and white. We finally got our own commercial T.V. station in the late 60s and colour T.V. in the early 70s and even that was so cheaply funded it would only transmit from 5pm until 11pm each night and we'd run a household betting system based on how many times in a week it broke down during transmissions.

@bleurowz Well my good Sir, I am not 'looking for a prayer circle' I am looking for respect for the children who, by no fault of their own, need to undergo treatments for cancers, etc, and so often, sadly succumb to the these horrible diseases. Plus, being a life-long Atheist, I find your 'prayer circle' suggestion to be insulting to my Atheism.

@Cassiopeia Actually 'Anno Domini' is from the Latin words, Anno does mean YEAR, but Domini is the PLURAL of the Latin 'dominus' meaning Master, not Lord therefore Anno Domini in the religious sense as previously used truly means 'In the Year of OUR MASTERS.'

Triphid replies on Dec 26, 2018:

@ProudMary I don't mean to sound dismissive, uncaring, etc, in regards to your situation Proudmary, but I've been in many situations like yours before and ALL due to females pretty much the same. That is why I'm thinking that my solitude, socially and romantically, is not such a bad thing after all. Unfortunately it seems that such traits run through both the male and the female genders of the human race and the truly decent ones are becoming even more rarer these days. So, my kind and well meant wishes, thoughts and heaps of caring hugs go out to you my friend.

Surfpirate comments on Dec 25, 2018:

I took this pic in the marina outside our hotel in Puerto Vallarta last month, that salt water croc is only about 8 feet long but plenty large enough to snatch that child from its parents. You can just make out the head of the crocodile in the water directly below the child, the mother and child ...

Triphid replies on Dec 25, 2018:

Shit, only about 8 feet long, that's a mere baby compared to the Salties they get up around the Northern Territory, North West W.A. and Northern Queensland. When I was up in the N.T. back in the 1970s I actually saw a Saltie take down a fully grown Water Buffalo and bite its head off completely. My estimate was that it would have measured out to at least 16 feet.

Government shut down.

Triphid comments on Dec 24, 2018:

Do you mean that the President can shut down the Government at will? What sort of Government is that?

Triphid replies on Dec 25, 2018:

@glennlab But, like most supposedly democratic Leaders is NOT the President elected by the People to SERVE the people and not just to swerve his/her own agendas? It seems patently obvious that tRump is only intent upon serving his own manic agendas, imho.

Government shut down.

How many of you could not care less about xmas?

Triphid comments on Dec 24, 2018:

I only do Xmas these days for my 5 year old nephew, Henry, just as I did with my daughter until she lost her battle with cancer. Otherwise to me it's just another day of the year.

Xanadutoo comments on Dec 24, 2018:

Someones going to be disappointed.

Triphid replies on Dec 24, 2018:

Heheh, one of my favorite ways of disappointing someone at this tie of year is to place a bag of sand inside a small box, then place that box inside a bigger one ( wrapping each box individually of course) and so on until you have the final box about the size of a large kitchen appliance or similar, then wrap the lot up nice and neatly. You sit back, watch their expression and enjoy them as they 'ferret their way through the whole thing.

@Redcupcoffee I'm not 'bitching and whining' I'm simply expressing that children battling/dying from cancer deserve dignity and respect. Would you not feel the same had your child battled cancer and died as mine did some nearly 18 years ago aged just 16 years?

Mike1947 comments on Dec 22, 2018:

Krakatoa,a nasty Volcano,there's a movie out(an old one,1969) about the eruption, and the effects. "Krakatoa,East of Java".

Triphid replies on Dec 23, 2018:

If memory serves Krakatoa tore itself apart when it erupted in the 1800s and has been slowly re-building itself ever since, there's a massively huge magma chamber beneath it as there is under the Vesuvius Caldera, Yellowstone and the Siberian region, all are still bubbling away merrily and probably slowly building up pressure that eventually will have to go somewhere and you can guess where that will be.

48thRonin comments on Dec 22, 2018:

Well it’s sad that this has happened when it did but the upper northwest of North America was where I was expecting one to pop. But guess we’ll have to wait and see if Krakatoa is going to be a short blow or not.

Triphid replies on Dec 23, 2018:

@48thRonin Yes well Volcanologists are concerned these days that one or more the Super Volcanoes, i.e. Krakatoa, Yellowstone Caldera, the Big Caldera around Vesuvius or the Siberian region may suddenly erupt in the next 200 or so years. IF Yellowstone goes then most of the US north will be under a massive ash cloud stretching from west to east and lasting for months. If, the Vesuvius Caldera goes Naples, half of Italy and right across to Sicily will be destroyed and if Krakatoa goes then 45-60% of Indonesia will be made almost uninhabitable for the better part of between 3 and 5 decades. IF, and this is the 'good news' btw, the Siberian Caldera goes off again as it did way back in geological times then another E.L.E., much worse that it caused historically before, we probably wont be around to see the end of it anyway.

I am pretty sure there are a few here who understand this.
