Re: Just 'Cause

"Biggest hassle is with scripting disabled by default is so many sites do nothing useful as they are so horrendously written that you often just get a blank screen as js all the way down"

And when you temporarily allow that specific site's scripts... you see it opens the floodgate for another 10-20-30+ other sites that want to run their script just so you can see the content on the home page of the site you are visiting.

For me personally that triggers an immediate deselection of the temporary allow on that site's scripts. I will find the information from a less 'connected' site or make do without.

Re: The mysterious beep in the night....

There are birds that fly around local that like to warble out sounds that sound like a ray-gun I had in the late 70s / early 80s. The bird or birds chirps are melodic and change without break like a young child cycling through the different tones and pulses while holding the trigger.

I often find myself wondering if those tones and pulses from the ray-gun were inspired by natural sounds the birds made or if they have learned the sounds from our toys and have passed them like oral record through their progeny.

Either way I will somewhat fantastically attribute it to loved ones long gone reaching out to say hello any way they can.

You're hearing a "ting" but it is really "ka-ching". It must be the internal service notification that lets them know you did something with the car that will cost you a bit more during the next service appointment!

You can have errors reported without having the keyboard error enabled. Not sure why you would ever want this option enabled on a server. It essentially states you have no keyboard "press enter" (or F1) to proceed and then waits for interaction. It's not so much the keyboard as a poor choice of BIOS option configuration.
