After 18 months I go and chat on Monday with the Surgeon who will (hopefully) replace my Aortic Heart valve,  and reading all the guff about it, it states that I can have sex 4 to 6 weeks after surgery    this is great news to me considering I dont have a partner and have been living on my own for the past 7 years or so , yeahhhh roll on post surgery 

How come this is news, I have been poaching my eggs like this for years.

Not that I have an issue with people using private jets, but their hypocrisy at the world economic forum is ridiculous.
We get told to avoid Trans tasman weekend flights for ski trips or shipping, buy when it comes to world economic forum delegates, that's OK to fly tour private jet.

I dont see them providing any solution to the problem

How will I power my car without oil?
Are they going to buy me an EV?

I watch a programme called "Outrageous Acts of Science" and in one article they showed someone, a fair distance from their car, attempt to unlock their car. It did not work. Then he pointed the remote under his chin and pressed the button again and it worked! Apparently it has something to do with the fact that your brain is 95% water and it seems that that amplifies the signal.

Next time I was out shopping I thought I would give it a try. I could not unlock it the conventional way as I knew I was too far away and it did not work, so I put it under my chin, pressed the button and it worked! Both SWMBO and I were quite surprised.

When you are out shopping next, give it a try. From a distance try to unlock your car in the conventional manner. When you see that it does not work, try putting the remote under your chin. I'm certain you will be as surprised as we were.

I am considering purchasing a new PC and I will want to transfer my many files and jpgs from the old to the new and I was wondering what is the best way to go about it. I wondered if I should use a cable with an RJ45 plug or would a cable with a USB plug be better or does it matter which one I use or is there another better way? Wi-Fi perhaps? If so how do I go about it?

Thanks for your help. It is appreciated.

This is 23 minutes long but is worth the watch if you are a fan.

I've been plugging in an old Maxtor 500GB external drive via a surge protector once a week to do backups. Last time I plugged it in the adapter immediately went pop and tripped the whole electrical circuit. The socket on the surge protector seems OK.
Is it likely to be just an adapter problem or is the drive itself more likely to be fried?
I don't have another adapter to try it on but would hunt for one if there's a reasonable chance of success.
I don't actually need anything off the drive but would prefer to recycle rather than just have a paperweight if possible. I've started using another drive for backups.
