Thumbs Up sensible policy around solar farms in the UK
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 10-10-2023, 09:35 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (3)

Farmland shouldn't be wasted for solar panels, I know that you can graze around them to a certain extent and provide animal shelter, but there is not that much room on farms for panels

Better to put them on all the rooftops and perhaps explore building a solar farm in Morocco instead and link it to Europe.

  pitfalls of wind power

Does NZ have a recycling program for all these shitty turbines?
Looks like they have a short life and cand be disposed of easily.
Overseas, they are just piling them up and they end up getting buried.
I think they are made of carbon fibre/fibreglass composite materials.
We will be facing this issue in the next decade I expect.

  11,000 unvaccinated doctors/health workers
Posted by: C_T_Russell - 10-10-2023, 09:13 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (3)

OIA Request.
Yet many Frontline nurses lost their jobs.
Looks like many top dogs refused the vaccine and were granted exemption.
No doubt they knew better about the health effects and the ministry of health couldn't do without them, likely because we couldn't function without surgeons and doctors in the hospitals.
I'm surprised that the number was that high.
Says alot, and when NZ first get back in, there will be a huge can of worms opened.

  Brother MFC L2713DW - Scan
Posted by: Galaxy01 - 10-10-2023, 09:37 AM - Forum: PressF1 - Replies (3)

Where are my scanned file?

My above printer was working fine the other day, but this morning, when I tried to scan a file, I couldn't locate the scanned file!
Usually, when the scan is completed, it asks to send to PC, when pressed, a window pops up (my PC) and the file is there! 

But now, when I pressed send to PC, nothing pops up.  I searched all over, just couldn't locate my scanned file!

I think it happened after I updated the software.



Please help!

  Video playlist software

Same question as the Audio playlist except this time for videos? Is there any such software?

Seems that we have a few IT savvy peoples around here.

I've been putting together a music list for an event I'm organising in a couple of weeks. I have somewhere around 1,000 CD albums ripped to my HD from which I've copied a selection of music suited to the attendees to a file. Original format is WMA but I'm able to convert to mp3 if required.

The problem I'm having is that using Windows Media Player is that the functionality is pretty ropey and the playlist I've compiled needs some editing and WMP is doing some pretty random shit in this regard.

What I'm after is something that will allow me to have a reliable file that is ready to play from my laptop into the venue's audio system. What's going to suit my purposes?

  Luxon condemns USA Christian group
Posted by: Lilith7 - 07-10-2023, 10:14 AM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - Replies (22)

This is a group which he once visited & now says he rejects some of their views,



https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3009842...ce-visited


"J H Ranch CaliforniaÔÇÖs current eleven point┬áÔÇ£Statement of FaithÔÇØ┬ásays it stems from - the Old and New Testament are decreed the ÔÇ£supreme and final authority in faith and life.ÔÇØ


It reads: ÔÇ£We believe that any form of homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, and pornography are sinful perversions of GodÔÇÖs gift of sex.ÔÇØ






[b]In the 2017 promotional material, Luxon is quoted as asking, ÔÇ£how do we impart our values to our children? JH Aotearoa really helps you to do that.ÔÇØ[/b]


But Luxon says he does not share the current values of the JH Ranch parent group, ÔÇ£I strongly believe that everyone, no matter who they are or how they identify, should be respected and free to express themselves and love who they love.ÔÇØ



Luxon and Fleming have both publicly spoken about their parenting philosophy, which is also the philosophy taught at JH Aotearoa and promoted by the founder of the original JH Ranch in America, Bruce Johnstone.







In 2004, during the debate about the civil union bill going through parliament, Fleming put out a statement saying: "We must be clear that the sole purpose of this Bill is to provide for same-sex marriage in all but name. Government propaganda suggesting civil unions are an alternative for defacto couples is just a farce.ÔÇØ




[b][b]When asked about the old comments in April, Fleming said they ÔÇ£werenÔÇÖt helpfulÔÇØ and ÔÇ£I wouldnÔÇÖt make them againÔÇØ.

I wish Tova O Brien had asked him whether he believes in demons...

Looking for the above. Tried searching and they were either online or want some dollars but only tell you after you install.
Suggestions appreciated.
