@mngrif @Sphinx It is a lot harder and probably frustrating to learn to drive a standard later in life.

It takes some coordination of movements, and can be learned.

I like standards, you can drive them whichever way you prefer atm, not only the default switching mode pre-programmed in the auto transmission.

They tend to be more fuel efficient too.

@Sphinx Yes, anchors are excellent - a quick way to navigate between parts of a long document, for example.

I leaned to create simple webpages a long time ago, and followed some suggestions from a friend telling me to treat a page like a news report.

Introduce the topic, with a paragraph at the top, then insert a simple text navigation menu like :

[ first] [second] [third][fourth]

...those being actual words to describe parts of the page.

in each of them, you would plant a link to an anchor in the relevant section, below.

"Samuel Pepys FRS was an administrator of the navy of England and Member of Parliament who is most famous for the diary he kept for a decade while still a relatively young man. Pepys had no maritime experience, but he rose to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under both King Charles II and King James II through patronage, hard work, and his talent for administration. His influence and reforms at the Admiralty were important in the early professionalisation of the Royal Navy."

Samuel Pepys, have you met?

He was a quite interesting Englishman, who wrote extensive diaries of his life in the 17th century. some of the writing is very good for research, talking about meeting his many gentlemen friends at London's Cafés - at the time the Royal Society was beginning.

@freemo I didn't even think about marital status, but knew right away who I wanted. Had to look at my videos catalog, couldn't remember the names.

Joanna Lumley, British actress, who presented a wonderful "Catwoman" docu on the BBC.

A short 2 min preview here. She's wonderful.

@freemo That sounds good, all reasonable points.

I knew right away who I would like for company, and it isn't an air headed star or starlet, a bimbo or sex bomb, but a lady who I would enjoy passing time with, chatting, getting to know.

Maybe more if chemistry worked.

So, no car or where to be driving in your case, uh? :wink:

A Japanese penpal just asked me on birdsite, this unexpected but delightful question.

If I had a chance to rent a car for 24 hours and take an Actress with me, where would I like to go.

And who would the actress be?

Already responded to her there, wonder what #fediverse thinks ?

@freemo I have seen it reported in the media as a Trial process, and with the senators becoming a jury to deliberate on the veredict and the charges.

With one of the Supreme Court judges actually presiding over the proceedings.

All from media reports, I am not very familiar with the details.

@freemo They will vote, but as Jurors on the trial process.

Indeed unlikely to result in a conviction, as the party is holdign their noses and sticking with the man.

@jump_spider I saw a Toot pass by the other day talking about that -- how people who care are into service professions, delivering to many. Nurses, teachers, other professions were listed.

That was contrasted with the different nature and bent of people who went into security apparatus.

@jump_spider Oooh... Really, that's shocking. 😮

Are you in the US? I have found the ways of american officers different, much more tense and agressive, than other forces.

There are a lot of firearms in the country, and I think that's one reason for their weariness.

@jump_spider If it was conducted in good faith, by a sympathetic officer concerned about the person, I wouldn't mind.

There's many examples of State using this kind of thing to suppress opposition people though, so that is to be wary of.

@kashi It is a nice one. And I was glad you posted and I discovered your profile. Neat, love the background photo.

Consider creating a blog with your posts on Understanding, Kashi.

A bit per day, I am now using write.freely and it's simple and fast to make a post.

@binsrc Yes, the outcome of the whole process, from the beginning, when they had to decide if to purse it or not, was very unlikely to remove that man.

There's a lot of effort, time and wear put into it; but the actions which caused it couldn't go unchallenged.

The outcome is unfortunately likely decided by the lack of Morals from the GOP senators.

There is no men like President Eisenhower in that party anymore, and that is a tremendous letdown.

@VegasVixenSheila Not much, just doing my morning reading and writings. 😺

Wonderful that you rescued them, lucky kitties.

@VegasVixenSheila Actualy, looks like Five -- missed the one in the background.

Nice family!
