Punching Bag Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 11 hours ago, /dev/null said: Today I learned that OS/2 Warp has been running the New York City subways for a quarter century In the future, people will access New York’s subway like they’re queuing for a roller coaster at Disney World. The process will require users to have an internet connected device that gets you through the gates, whether that’s a phone or a smartwatch. If we’re lucky we get a new MetroCard option. But it’s no guarantee. The practical and technological needs that created New York’s subway system impacts nearly everyone that lives in the city. As New Yorkers switch to new ways to pay, those who can pay will. Those who can’t are left at home. Sounds like they are using same consultant that NFL used to eliminate some people from attending football games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 TIL: When former slave Jordan Anderson was asked to come back and work for his old master, he replied with a deadpan letter asking for 52 years' back pay as proof of good faith. The letter has been described as a rare example of documented "slave humor" of the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen the mock up drawing, it’s pretty prominent. Not some little 6” sticker like some companies have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some, few have modern PLC's... Not many. We are still running fluid power tech from the WWII era... Same with the electrical circuits. Some stuff was so obsolete... Forced to at least push things to 1980s tech... Like our valves, gauges... LoL... Still kicking, but harder and harder to find parts. We just cracked into fresh selsyns for the dam... They were packed, stamped on canister: 1958! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I need to get more potassium in my diet. I was training yesterday and all of a sudden my left calf cramped....then my entire leg below my knee locked up. I literally couldn't move my foot, wiggle my toes or anything...it was just stuck. Then my right foot starting cramping and my hands started getting really fatigued...no grip strength at all. I had plenty of water but it was just pouring out of me. I couldn't retain water at all. Just in warms up, it looked like I just jumped in a pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be potassium but may also be calcium, magnesium, sodium, etc. A general electrolyte drink may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our windows looked like the car scene in Titanic from the outside. I started feeling a little better after drinking a coconut water and Gatorade. I think I may need to incorporate more coconut water in general. I don't eat a lot of fruits so I'm probably a little low in minerals. Would a daily vitamin like Centrum help?
