A detail that has not been mentioned so far: Maori are not, and never were, "cavemen".

The title of your post suggests that one way to solve your problem might be to re-calibrate the way you see the world and how other people live.

Saw this in Japan. Don't know what they call it, but at least you know who it's for...10841

O gawd! Not this one again...
The link in the OP post doesn't work so I can't see the video, but it sounds like the old 'plane on the conveyor belt' again.

If you find yourself in a plane sitting...

Slept through it here in Wellington, but in the morning noticed several pictures on the walls were skew.

The later shakes had no effect here either.

My God! So that's why they invented helicopters.

I was chiselling a rock last week when the hammer skipped off the chisel and hit my hand. Luckily I was on the ground at the time...

Nice to see xenophobia still alive and well in Aotearoa (spelling checker doesn't like that).

I remember as a youngster hearing family members complaining about Dutch immigrants who arrived after...

Off the top of my head, there's Gimp - never used it much but many find it good, and it's free.

After that you start to spend. ON1 Photo Raw costs $NZ166 at the moment (special Christmas price)....

Just when 2020 looked like a complete write-off, the Boston Dynamics robots saved the day!

I hope they got an extra shot of lube oil as a reward.

It helps if you understand the difference between climate and weather.

The tune sounds a bit like one they taught us at primary school.

Don't remember the words, though.

That's a bit hair-raising. I have been using Thunderbird for years without any problems (other than those of my own making). I am now on 78.5.1 and I thought the .1 update followed the .0 rather...

Depends on whether you "dig down" with a spade or a teaspoon. The current issue of Physics Today (published by the American Institute of Physics) has an article on "The Math behind Epidemics" which...

Where does the figure of 0.05% come from?

I have always regarded "lifetime guarantee" to mean it will work until it fails and then the guarantee lapses. Makes perfect sense.

Just a hint of paranoia?

Waiting two weeks won't guarantee an update is bug free - a problem may depend on exactly what you do with your PC or might involve a slightly different interaction with...

Very likely all those were contributing factors. The situation in NY as reported in the news was clearly bad but it is still a shock to put numbers to it.

Of course, we must be careful not to read...

The figures in the Covid-19 sites posted above make interesting reading, especially the total deaths/total cases:

World 2.6%
US 2.7%
Russia 1.7%
UK 6.8%
Australia 3.3%...

Thanks - good post.

Show B.M. a picture of an iceberg and he becomes positively orgasmic, and just when I thought that the scholarly discussion of global warming in this forum had died away. Look, how about producing...

My first encounter with a disk drive was at Uni in Europe in the early 70's. The IBM drive unit was literally the size of a washing machine. To insert the massive disk pack you opened the top of the...

Today was the first opportunity to check the changed sound setup for this morning's Zoom meeting. I tried Agent_24's suggestion and sure enough, that did the trick and the sound came though the TV.

Thanks. Good to know there are two possibilities.

OK, thanks. I will try that.
