  New sanctions may mean families unable to pay rent
Posted by: Lilith7 - 13-12-2024, 02:46 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (21)

In their latest round of beneficiary bashing, our glorious govt may have managed to make it impossible for those they wish to punish - sorry,'sanction' - to be able to keep a roof over their heads...


'Money management' my derriere; this is clearly a kind of punishment.

 And stipulating what someone ona benefit may or may not buy, what shops they're permitted to shop at?? You do have to wonder how much those gleefully setting those 'sanctions' up would enjoy having similar conditions set on their spending...

I'm sure we could all come up with something (sort of,vaguely) appropriate..let's see..ah yes of course. Rolleyes

 No alcohol. At all. Zilch, zip, nada - none for the entire term in parliament. Because that will 'help' them to make well balanced,informed decisions in future...its not that we don't trust them, just that we simply want to 'help' them... Rolleyes

  Volkswagen in trouble
Posted by: nzoomed - 12-12-2024, 10:56 AM - Forum: Motoring - Replies (8)

And Japan's car industry is not in the greatest shape either. 
I see that there have been numerous strikes and factory closures at Volkswagen, which is a shame because their EVs appeared to be a good competitor to Tesla, however I have heard they were not without their faults.

  That US healthcare 'manifesto'...
Posted by: Oh_hunnihunni - 12-12-2024, 09:57 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (5)

The man charged with the killing of the health industry boss is being called a Marxist because he published a manifesto.

It is here, if you would like to read it and decide for yourself, if this is 'Marxist'. If the link doesn't work maybe one of you tech wizards can fix for me.

Seems to me it shines light on just one aspect of the superpowers way of doing things that differentiates it from many other nations. It really is all about wealth - misused, abused, and stolen wealth.

Once again  to paraphrase some genius lyrics 'I'm glad I'm not a Kennedy'...

  Printer - scan - email
Posted by: beetle - 11-12-2024, 05:44 PM - Forum: PC World Chat - Replies (6)

Hi all,
I have recently got a printer (multifunction ) and it scans copies etc.

I need to scan and email the scanned item to me
but It says not registered.

Its a brother multifunction and the instructions dont actually explain what to do.  Anyone have a printer that can email  a scanned item ?
Its working on the wifi,  I run it off my tablet. 

I dont know what it means about not registered, the only address saved on the printer is my email.
Im presuming im scanning the doc correctly  and not blank papers Rolleyes

Help

  Chippy once again opening his mouth and spilling garbage

Chippies rant on radio this morning about the ferries was hilarious 
ItÔÇÖs obvious now National are doing the right thing completing adequate planning before making the same mistake Tasmania made . Labours ferries would have been parked up with TasmaniaÔÇÖs in very expensive storage .
