The last thread was getting a little long. So time for a new place to post those one off comments or news that just does not justify it's own thread. Rules, just keep it kid G rated. ![]() |

The act also outlaws singing "an obscene song or ballad" and behaving in a "riotous, indecent, offensive or insulting manner". Rugby will never be the same down there. |

It's not going to be the senior officers because they probably got their promotion by being good "team players" because they were in the rugby team. |

More proof of the K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Sam) computing concept and proving that newer is NOT always better: LOL:) Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication! And KISS is an acronym for "Keep it simple, stupid" as a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960. Oh. You could also call it Less Is More. |

The Saturn V launch computer had way less power than the Commodore 64. The LVDC was capable of executing 12190 instructions per second. The Commodor can do 10 Million instructions per second. NASA would have loved to have a couple of C64's They were darn good computers. ![]() |

The Saturn V launch computer had way less power than the Commodore 64. Along the same lines, I've read that due to the time in r&d it takes to get a chip radiation-hardened for space travel, the things NASA sends out into space always have old computer technology. ![]() |

Just went on ebay and bought a couple of wiener whistles. Robert Trentlage died on the 21st, aged 87. He wrote the jingle we all knew as kids and adults since then, the Oscar Mayer wiener song. I have posted a couple of clips I happen to love about Jerry Ringlien, who was the advertising exec at the time, who used Jerry's jingle with much success for O.s.c.a.r....... I have posted the links again in the comments on CNN. Jerry passed on back in 2007 at the age of 77. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAz5Jc0DWpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNObgEXOpYA Few us will ever create anything so engraved into our culture. RIP, Robert. And of course, also Jerry. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

Why the future of package delivery is better than drones A drone alone can't make 'last-mile' home delivery scale. But robots can. Here's how. Remember WebVan? |

One correction, there is no sale tax on land in California. There is property tax, but that is yearly, not based on a sale. ![]() |

Are you talking about adding the cost of the truck etc. to the land tax? If so, it is very doubtful, because the trucking cost (including the taxes due on that amount) is paid to them, and the Land Taxes to the State/County.

Sure the earthquake resistant foundation system that was county mandated cost $1,500.00, but not $7,000.00 as that was the only new thing that was added back in late 2006. Mite have only cost $1,500 back in 2006 but what would it cost to do it now . House prices are partly valued on what they would cost to build them today not on what it cost 10 years ago plus the value of the land witch can go up or down but in suburbia they don't go down and mainly go up or stall but rarely go down Or did you not expect that !!!! go fund me again then we can expect !!!!! Should be so lucky to own a home and whine about having to pay land tax those where the days I remember it well , when I was a younger man but alas all I have now is my memory's ![]() |

Relatives do pass away, sometimes one does get lucky, question is, will lightning strike twice or not? I've no idea. Vic, please tell us that you didn't mean that the way it sounds! ![]() |

Be aware of Civil Code sec 798.56(f) (part of the mobile home residence law) A tenancy shall be terminated by the management only for one or more of the following reasons: (f) Condemnation of the park. There are no conditions to section f like there are to g which you reference. From what you describe sounds like f could be a possibility. ![]() |
