Here is a word of warning before you buy your next appliance.

HOW the hell they came to that decision is bizzare.

When what is truly needed is equity. 
Which surely, he must know. I really find it difficult to believe that he'd be so badly educated or  ill informed as to be unaware of the difference.

"Wheeler said that his eldest daughter was nine, & his son was  seven - evidence showed that a Maori baby born today would die at the same time as both these Maori children.
I want that to sink in for a moment. The equity gap (for average life expectancy) is eight years for males & seven years for females...if this isn't the clearest example of how we fail to meet our Treaty obligations...I don't know what is."

Do we not believe in free speech in this country any more?
I'm talking about Winston Peters speech today. He has the right to be heard and I have the right to hear him.
Makes me sick, those hecklers.

I couldn't even listen to the news as it was all about them.
Don't they realise other people may want to hear what he has to say - even though I may not agree with it?
Keep the hecklers out and record the speech with only reporters present.

Despite Trump's claim that those deported were all 'criminals', it seems that isn't altogether true. Hardly surprising since he's unconcerned with details & doesn't seem bothered about innocent people being caught up.

Apologies if this has already been posted.


The Trump creature is dismantling much of the dept of education which destroys an executive dept set up by congress under Jimmy Carter 45 years ago. Added to all the other cuts he's making, their future looks extremely scary.
Attacking Education, the Arts, funding for poorer areas in education, - all aimed at preventing learning too much. "Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny"
The article mentions Vance & Thiel & of course, Musk.

What despicable people they are.

More than 150 ‘unprecedented’ climate disasters struck world in 2024, says UN

I am Win 11 64 bit V 24H2 fully updated.
A few weeks back using FilePuma CCleaner Free I downloaded V 6.33.11465 to replace V6.32. 
It rarely works as before. I get past "Close Browser " Do you want to force it to close? I click yes. Goes to Start Scanning but progress bar stays blank and almost immediately I am thrown out of CCleaner back to Win Explorer.
I tried redownloading installing (after a Full Revo Uninstallation). It worked once then returned to the above problem. i then tried Properties Compatibility ran that  -worked once then reverted to flashes back to Win Explorer.

I keep hoping for a notification "we screwed up " Install latest Version" which presumably will be V6.34. No such          notification from Piriform.

In interim I have kept using Glary Utilities Free and also tried MSoft PC Manager . The latter seems to focus more on Speed Boosts rather than housekeeping -clearing temp files etc.

Any ideas?
Thanks 
Neil

Looking at digitizing some VHS tapes.
Been watching some youtube videos on this.
Some say you need an RCA to HDMI converter also a video capture card.
Then I saw this.

Will that do the job ?

While she obviously should have made sure there were no problems with her work visa, this seems needlessly harsh.
