Those residual particles are probably so fine that they"ll go through the filter without being caught. Sooner or later they will, of course, but it takes some time. Alum is a flocculant, it makes all that really fine stuff stick together into larger particles that are easier to filter. Chuck in some...

Re: Amazing 'corny' story - where is Sully when you need him?
Even if the engine could have been made to give enough thrust to keep flying, it was still damaged, hence unreliable. It could have conked out at the most inconvenient moment .

Re: Who is using which WIN ?
1. Can I simply setup LM on my HDD wiping over W10 in one swoop? Or is some disk formatting involved first? Yes. It will reformat and partition the disk automatically. Just leave the defaults and set up the login details. If you have disk space to spare you can install alongside the Windows partiti...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
Re sites that cover the screen with the "turn off your adblocker" crap. On some of them you can refresh the page, and hit stop before the script runs. I'll turn it off for sites that deliver a relevant service and the ad count is 10 or less. Sometimes the counter may go up to about 200, that's abuse...

Download a PDF reader from the Play Store. The Chrome browser will also display them, quite likely others too, I haven't tried them.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Whilst Tunnocks might not be the most prolific of confectionary manufacturers, the concept that they make a million caramel bars a day takes some appreciation. Not at all unfeasible. Supposing 23 hrs/day availability that comes to 12 bars per second. That's for one machine, and still kind of slow. ...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
I do turn off the blocker for sites that render some relevant service and the blocked counter is under 10 or so. What gets me are sites where the counter goes up to 182 and they then cover the text with a gripe about how they really, really need to waste my bandwith. Sometimes one can work around it...

It may be an allergy to something in the air which isn't there closer to your home. Try taking some histamin next time and see if it helps.

So that's 5 megagrams, equals 5 megabills, making a total of 500 megabucks. Any 1/2 percent of that and I promise to retire and keep quiet.

Re: Helping a alcoholic
Addictions, or rather, dependencies, are classified as diseases these days. Antabuse doesn't address he underlying issues and once the patient is off it will go back big-time and make up for the time lost. By your description of the on-again off-again pattern her drinking may be a symptom of deeper ...
