Subj : moving or not was: CFBBS To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Wed Sep 04 2019 09:12:00 Hi Nancy! NB>>> So my internal datestamp gives a little bit of context for you... :) BM>> A bit. :) LIS some time before I left for Vienna, I had played some BM>> to try to correct the timestamp issue but (obviously) without success. BM>> At that time mainly looking for a setting within Wildcat!; this time BM>> I'll probably look for a setting (switch) in PKZip. ...But First! NB>> It would be nice if you did finally figure it out, especially for NB>> you... but in the meantime, I guess I'll just continue to give the NB>> occasional internal context... Speaking of which... this batch NB>> being answered 28 August, starting just before 8pm... ;) BM> Yes, one of those old back-burner jobs of which I occasionally brush BM> the dust off and play with, don't get anywhere, and so put it back BM> until another consideration occurs. NB> One of these days it'll come clear... ;) And in the meantime... NB> This set starts afternoon of Sept 3rd... :) My yesterday, and answering your tomorrow. As for the problem with the timestamp, yes, just need to look at the various switches for PKZip and start playing. ...Actually looks like might be adding '-k' -- just have to find the batch file. ....Had a But First yesterday morning. Received a phone call, connection line was scratchy/noisy. Some testing to figure out whose - ours. Call the telephone company as appears the problem is external to the house. Tech earned his pay! One failing connection in a connector box about a block away and then he found someplace else that was failing. So get that fixed. Never did have to come inside. Good news and bad: "bad" news is my DSL is back down to where I pay for -- had been getting a kilobit extra. Good news is the apparent download spped is surpassing what it had been, so what I'm requesting shows up ont he screen significantly faster. Now will have to dig out the NCID project (for call-rejection of spam calls) and see if it works up here now. Probably still should move/have moved the electric line running next to the telephone, antenna coax, and network cable. BM>> Yes. I don't know the details but generally it all starts with a pool BM>> of squished dinosaurs. I'd suppose there are differences dependant on BM>> what was squished, but probably essentially the same, so the BM>> processing is what makes the differences in the final product (heating BM>> oil, gasoline, etc.). NB>> Or even Shell oil, Casey's oil, Mobil oil, Speedway... etc... with NB>> whatever they claim as their exclusive offerings.. ;) BM> Well they are exclusive in their final formulations before being BM> shipping off to the pumps. ...I half-did an experment several years BM> back: was between a BP station and a Hy-Vee one, selection mainly BM> based on final cost per gallon (so coupons and other discounts). Any BM> miles-per-gallon differences were apparently based on other factors: BM> idling to warm up the car and clear of snow, road construction BM> slowdowns, etc. Major flaw was I would fill at a half-tank, so if BM> previously filled at BP and then went to Hy-Vee the tank was mixed. BM> Did numerous times do consecutive fills at the same station so a BM> more-pure fuel in the tank. Didn't see anything significant other than BM> a smaller draw on the credit card. NB> Yeah... to really compare one to the other you have to be working NB> with pretty much full tanks of each... not mixing the two.... NB> Unless, of course, one is appreciably worse than the other, and NB> mileage tanks immediately when one puts even a half tank of it NB> in... As long as the station of whatever brand is getting good NB> quality gas, there isn't that much difference between them other NB> than cost... That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Hy-Vee is not going to risk their reputation selling bad gasoline. The gas may or may not have additives my car wants - - I didn't notice any difference in mileage nor reaction (peppiness, etc.). And yes, major flaw in the study with filling at half-tank but knew that. BM> And of course the YMMV, etc., disclaimers: certain engines and driving BM> habits may prefer one gas over another. And as for cost around here BM> "below the hill" is usually several cents cheaper than "on the hill", BM> so location of the station factors to cost. NB> We have that location influencing the price per gallon here, NB> too... Just have to know one's area... ;) Yes. BM>>> On the 'research nerd', thinking of someone like the person/people BM>>> at law offices who comb the newspapers for the bankruptcy, etc., BM>>> announcements, go to the library and courthouse to dig up details BM>>> for a court case, etc., etc. I'll admit to enjoying a bit of digging BM>>> research every so often but not as a full-time job. NB>>> My nephew works for a title company... and that pretty much does NB>>> describe his job.... digging up all the details for the title NB>>> searches... :) He enjoys it, though... :) BM>> That's good! I tend to like doing in-depth researching but for myself BM>> or a personal link, and of something interesting to me. NB>> I've done the title searches as part of a history project for our NB>> campowners association... some of the stories behind the land NB>> transfers get interesting on their own... ;) And I've done research NB>> in the land records when I was doing my family history research... ;) BM> Land transfers can be part of family history. Son gets married, BM> parents 'break off' a piece of their farm for the newly-married couple. BM> ...Or a piece is transferred as payment for debt. NB> It also documents where a family is living, perhaps where they NB> came from or where they moved to, and often can list all the NB> heirs (with married names and spouses) when something was NB> inherited by all, and then sold or transferred either to one of NB> them or to a new owner... That would be helpful in verifying genealogical records! Everyone present and accounted for? Someone not listed? Why? ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
