Cowboys need tools. 1928 magazine advert, promoting the Thompson submachine gun. A gangster favourite for enforcement and posse protection. Sir Winston Churchill has a classic photo with one too. #xp

#ShakespeareSunday Early global warming warning from the Bard?
'... the spring, the summer,
The chilling autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries and the mazed world
By their increase, now knows not which is which.'

@nori 😉 😺

It's a TooT...

@Justicepal Hello, good morning!

I am sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, but how about posting some informative matter, so people know what you are proposing?

Might get better results, in my opinion. 👍

@mngrif LOL... 😜

I think I placed somewhere between 2 and 3 on the scale.

@shibaprasad @SecondJon Awesome work, you two! Way to go! 🏃 🚴

Thank you @anarchiv for inspiring this post.

* Memories, a visit to the Archeology Museum *

It started this morning, the thread. And over short posts, someone told a story. Of a Greek man, who lived in antiquity, by the Mediterranean side; in a city whose name is still preserved, and today is written "Marseille".

This series of posts was interesting, liked it and went to the top to find the rest.

Enjoying his post, I remembered similar thoughts, of History, and how things worked, how small bits and pieces came to me as I visited an exposition, at the Archeological Museum, in Lisbon.

Now the story is on my blog: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/memories-a-visit-to-the-archeology-museum

Test Report -- It WORKED 100% fine.

Windows 8.1 system now up to Windows 10 Pro version 1909, with Digital License and all.

Wonderful tip. Thanks @ryen !!

(re: your tip about ZDNews article about win7 and win8 free upgrade still possible)

@wabbster

LOL.... 😝
@_lunawinters

@crackurbones Antennae are very cool. Cantennas especially. fun with WiFi.

I am testing this right now -- someone pointed to the article after seeing my Blog post yesterday about very low priced OEM Windows 10 license keys.

Apparently, the Windows Installation tool still works, and an upgrade from a licensed Win 7 or Win 8.x system should complete and have a Digital License issued to it.

In a nutshell, got a Win 7 or 8.x system with a validated license?

Get the Windows Upgrade Tool here and go to business : https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10

"This free Windows 10 upgrade offer still works. Here's why -- and how to get it

More than three years after Microsoft’s free upgrade offer officially ended, people are still reporting successful Windows 10 upgrades from older machines. Here’s the latest extremely unofficial report."

"Evangelicals just received an ultimatum: Abandon President Donald Trump, or betray your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Christianity Today—the magazine founded by the famous preacher Billy Graham, and the longtime forum for mainstream evangelical thought—has published an editorial calling for Trump to be removed from the White House. The editor in chief, Mark Galli, acknowledged that “the typical CT approach is to stay above the fray and allow Christians with different political convictions to make their arguments in the public square.” But the facts are “unambiguous,” Galli wrote. “The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.”

Microsoft gets ready to roll out the new Edge to Windows 10 via Windows Update

"Microsoft officials have said the new Chromium-based Edge browser will be generally available starting January 15, 2020. They also said in early November that the new Edge will be bundled with Windows 10 right after the general availability date, though this will happen in a staggered/staged manner. This week, the Redmondians are providing links to more details about the coming Edge rollout for Windows 10.

The Chromium-based version of Edge will not be tied to Windows operating system releases moving forward, as officials have said. Microsoft will be making the new Edge available automatically via Windows Update for all PCs already running Windows 10 1709 or newer. "
