  1. Good morning mister president of the U.S. Please remember daily, that very few citizens have the spending power you have.
  2. Hi. Everyone asked had a favorite response. Steam; water with vinegar; or with detergent, or with alcohol, or with ammonia, or paint thinner, or any hot fluid... Applying newspaper onto the wetted surface (to 'seal' moisture much longer) or thin plastic film for the same purpose... Assuming all the glues used are the same; what makes more chemical sense ? Or is just matter of dissolving it and not to react with the glue ?
  3. Thank you sir. I remember reading in several places about insecticidal properties. Being correct or not = ? With the typical imprecisions of naming different products the same and naming same products differently... One of them is

    Denmark announced to soon accept trading Groenland with Florida, Mar-a-Lago included or not.
  5. Thank you, sir. Managed to implement/add the green launching icon, displays at the top left corner instead of the expected bottom row but can live with it :
  6. Listening to Sinatra + Jobim.
  7. Hi. Installed? Whatsapp to new drive with Ubuntu 24.04 on my laptop and it is functional. Find no launch icon, have not closed the tab until solving. On previous hard drive it did show at the bottom of screen. Does not show listed in 'installed' applications ! I have only Brave browser working perfect, cannot find how to implement the launcher (or is it favorites?). Help in wording for the unskilled, please. I followed this to install : If it shows "Remove from favorites" is because it is already in the favorites list, right ? Well, cannot see it at the bottom.
  8. Good day. I was reading about a "Bordeaux mixture" for prevention of fungus and damaging insects for plants and trees. It is a simple water solution to spray hydrated lime + liquid soap, supposed to not deterr/harm pollinators if applied before blooming. What is your opinion instead of spraying such mixture; spraying only the liquid soap onto foliage and branches to make a sticky layer and dusting windward with the hydrated lime powder after with the hope of hydrated lime sticking better to the plants (until next rain ?) -Or, a better approach you may have heard of- ?
  9. Thanks, gentlemen. Can see the validity of the discussion related to the teachings. Was Sicily and not Corsica, and Spain involved. I have no idea why I posted here; it was intended for the lounge. Brain farting too often. Please move as apropiate.
  10. Greetings. By late sixties, a highly educated priest at my high school mentioned and taught in literature/hystory? class that romanticism was an italian movement originated as Rome-anti-cism. Cannot remember what/where was the cism (church schism?) Can you confirm yes, no, what or never heard such ? And if has no relation with the word 'romantic' (as in loving) ... If my memory is working. Another in-retina from the same teacher was that 'mafia' meant "Morte alle France Italia aclama" -- Or "Italy claims death to France" -- perhaps since the taking of Corsica? I have consulted in several places with nothing solid. Do you know anything about as true or not ? [There may be grammar errors]
  11. Hi all. A nuclear energy source substitute on recent news... How real is it among dozens of same style promising technology ? ---> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14447257/China-discovers-limitless-energy-source-power-country.html
  12. Thank you. In the middle of action showed it again masking the result: Both commands show: The replacement of the drive with a bigger costlier or not is not a problem. But I used years ago ~40MB drives every time upgraded versions since 05.10 almost yearly (kept a bunch archived) and in an even older laptop that behaved always very happy. Yes currently have a SSD instead of the mechanical hard drive. And, as instructed; done: -Answered no as is insignificant- The point is learning what is inflating and if is because am doing something wrong; or the updates do not erase/delete the older versions occupying space. I have very few applications in a lean machine, not even Firefox nor Chrome nor mainstream nor social anything.
  13. My compfuser reported being low in storage. I run Ubuntu 24.04 Linux in very lean way and makes no sense to me being low of free hard drive space (SSD) Is there a command to safely delete the old, already updated versions that may still reside useless in the hard drive ? What is 'var' apparently using 58% of storage ? Its contents being mostly 'lib' as 97% of 'var' as below ? Do I need 'snap' ? How can I inspect each file in there to delete it or keep it ? What is
  14. Good morning, mister president. The old investor visa inflated and renamed; I would like to know if the new $5M visas have a bean accountant only or there is a background check for the drug lords and other crooks from overseas to migrate to the U.S. on red carpet.
  15. Hi. Running Ubuntu 24.04 now since 5.10 non-stop when I excommunicated Windows forever. I will never go back to Windows even being unskilled in Linux to tweak or wring whatever expert users get out of it. It is an operating system for nerds but works so well that a non-nerd can enjoy its reliability. A couple of decades ago a 40 MB hard drive in an old bones compfuser is all I needed. Inflated now. Still have the drives, as when I upgrade, I archive the drive with the spider webs and put a new or used one with the new version. But never dare to have a dual-boot nor anything Windows less than 10 metres away. If you want Windows in the same machine; use a swappable pluggable drive that will have only one drive powered up at a time. My suggestion is reverse all and go back to your Windows only. Want Ubuntu? ---> install it in another blank hard drive. When happy with its performance and getting used to a loooong learning curve, think again about doing the dual boot.
