ASQ fun coming up....

[Saint Willy]

Just what the world needs a couple of smart arse comedians who aren't funny.
My computer is only 3 months old and I have a 21" monitor because I am not blind.
So obviously I could change my settings but why does anyone need to post such fukking large files in the first place.
I reckon at a guess your pictures are 10MB. Its not a dick measuring contest you know, or maybe you don't but bigger does not mean better.
Get fukked the pair of ya!

Otto, is it over sized when I quote it?

on my screen I can get it on one page…

I will assume you are talking to me not some guy called Otto
Your post comes up almost 100% in one screen, the picture fits but not the words as well.
I am just putting down as 1 of life's mysteries.

[Saint Willy]

Yes, sorry ootai not Otto or potato (which spell check helps with)

[Stumpy]

Man...had to catch up. Going forward i will reduce the overall picture size as it is really simple. Doubt I will do the 10% option, probably 30% or 70%.

Speaking of ASQ, Had the Grand Mooban Poohbah drop by late yesterday. I had not seen him since I returned home. He wanted to confirm with me personally that I am not subject to the 14 day self quarantine. That all is good and welcome back.

I would love to have one, but right now I don't know how things are going to work out with my long term stay in Thailand. As soon as covid travel restrictions are are removed I want to go to Greece and get a Greek passport, we are considering doing summers in Greece and Winters in Thailand. US is nice but is so damn far , especially FL , you know what I am talking about, you just went through it yourself. As I get older these 24 plus hour trips are getting tougher and tougher.

I hear ya BB, That trip to the states is a long one and Covid makes it even longer. We will not be traveling anywhere internationally until this Covid travel stabilizes and what that will look like, no one knows. I am just glad I am back home. I was bleeding cash big time in the states. The place is like a money sink, especially California. Everyone seems to have their hand in your pocket and simple meals eating out burns $50/$60 on average. Back here just had a nice dinner with all 4 of us for $18. I will say I will absolutely miss sitting with my Pops talking sports, the walks through the vineyards and the endless supply of quality craft beers.

Btw the Greece option sounds like a good one. My wife and I plan on something like that in Sicily later. We have been looking but will probably rent versus buying a villa type place. I do not want to be tied to another location. Prefer to change it up on and off. I have family in Sicily near Palermo so they can help but for now taking care of my FIL and Niece is more important and I love my life here. Its easy and simple

Yes indeed, the US is certainly a money pit. My Daughter just moved to California and I cant believe what the rents are there. Why she would move there when she have a free house 10 min from the beach in FL I don't get, but then again I am sure I did many things in my youth my parents did not get either.
Italy , especially Palermo sounds great. My sister lives in Italy but she lives up north in Mogliano a few minutes north of Venice . Summers are nice but the winters are very cold.
I also have family and friends in Greece and initially plan to stay with them until I find a place to rent. In comparison to the US , rents in Greece are so cheap, especially if you know the locals. Once we have spend a couple of seasons there and we are more familiar with the locations, and other variables , we will make a decision regarding purchasing something.

Testing 1 2 3

just thought I would paste JPPR's picture as he did to see what happens.

Well it is still fukking huge.
So my guess is that my computer doesn't like the 1620 x 2880 pixel 3MB picture.

[Stumpy]

Keep at it Ootai, it will happen......eventually.

it is just your screen resolution 1280x720 I guess

a 24 inch 1080p monitor is very cheap now - 100 USD - not sure on the actual specs of your all in one , but you may be able to strap and external monitor to it - have the original monitor for small apps and run your browser on the external monitor for teakdoor and youtube

My display/screen resolution is set at the recommended which is 1920 x 1080. I checked with JPPR and his screen resolution is the same.
Not gonna happen, getting a second monitor that is.

[bsnub]

Maybe you should just chuck that crappy AIO computer in the bin and be done with it.

[ootai]

I don't think that will be necessary I am coming around to the conclusion that the issue is a PEBCAK problem.

These TD travel threads aren't what they were.

Hiya Dill. Man you have been missed. Wouldya just come out of hiding and start firing off photoshop pics again? Some are still classics today.

[Stumpy]

Well with ASQ over......time for a Friday night pool bar refer restock.

Cheers

[Mendip]

You do realise that Ootai can only see that one can of Oettinger at the bottom... he's wondering why you stocked up with just one can!
