It’s impossible to know what you don’t know!
Seamus
The problem is that some THINK that they DO know. Which leads back to "it's what you know that ain't so".

Most people don’t know until they google it🙄
And then they're probably wrong.
I'll say it again, it's not what you don't know that's a problem, it's what you know that ain't so.

It's not PC anymore, but I'll bet everybody know the words to "Dixie".

I'm not sure I know a single word to "Dixie."
I was basing that on the fact that even in Ohio, we sang it in Elementary School. Of course, that was a long time ago.

My inability to know what my confuser is doing is raising its ugly head again. For some reason, when I go to my e-mule it will show that I have, for instance 5 messages, but will not show the top message. It will show briefly, maybe a half second, then disappear. The counter still show that I have 5 messages, but I can only see 4. Once I've read and disposed of the 4, the counter will show 1 message, but I still can't see it.
The only thing I can do, is refresh the page, then get my cursor to where the message will show for the half second, and click on it just as it shows up. If I do that, I can open the message and do with it whatever I need to.
I've seen this before, but I have no idea what I did to make it do this, and I have no idea what I might have done to make it stop.
I'm running Windows 10, with msn hotmail.
This isn't anything critical, but it is annoying. What can I do to make it stop?
TIA.

I'm sorry, but the first "portable" cell phones looked like this:
The first cell phones had the electronics mounted in the trunk of the car, with a handset mounted in the car's interior, and an antenna. on the outside of the car. Remember those little curlycue antennas?
When they made them "portable", they either put a carrying handle on it, or had a case for it, along with a battery the size of a VCR tape.
The "Brick" came later.

If you wanted no onions they scrapped them off the meat and bun. If you wanted a cheeseburger they took a burger back behind the grill and added melted cheese and rewrapped the burger with a cheeseburger wrapper.

My friend Tex HATED tomatoes. Now he loved what you could make with them, but he looked at them as a raw material. On the other hand, I love tomatoes.
When we went to our local fast food joint, a Burger Chef, I'd always order my burger with extra tomatoes, and he'd order his with no tomatoes.
There was a new owner. We placed our order per usual, and they told me that it'd cost extra for my tomatoes. Now being that he was a smart.. alec, (actually we both were), he asked if he'd get a discount since he didn't want tomatoes. Of course they told him that they didn't do that. So we looked at each other, and said that we'd both just get regular tomato on our burgers. When they came, without a word from either one of us, right there at the counter, we unwrapped our burgers, took the tomatoes off his and put them on mine. They never gave us a problem after that.

Those Belle people never sewed their own clothes. Most of them were made by Island Girl's mama. You do NOT want to get me started.

Number (1), the .38 WCF, better known as .38-40, and number (3), the .44-40 would be fine for Main Match rifles. Number (2), the .38-55 would be good for Long Range matches, and I think Wild Bunch.

Unfortunately I'd bet the latter. Some people are good at starting such things, but rarely follow through with the cleanup.

Modern bombs have them too, though they don't look exactly the same. They can be in the nose or tail depending on the mission. Here's a picture of a nose fuze:

I was sent to McDs this evening. My wife decided that a double cheeseburger was just what she needed. So I walk in, and about 2 steps in the door was a nice, younger guy, who asked if I wanted help with the Kiosk. It seems, (and I know that many of you know this, I do too but it STILL makes me nuts), that you can't place your order with a human anymore. The ordering and paying process was painless enough, (some products are Buy One get a Second for a Dollar), but it got me to thinking. (I was able tom leave before the smoke detector went off).
They eliminated one Employee Position by doing away with the Cashier, but still have to have someone to help with the Kiosk. How does that help their Bottom Line?
The guy there thought it was stupid too.

I'm sorry, it's still only one gun with the ability to shoot multiple calibers one at a time after swapping them out. If you have 16 "guns", you and 15 buddies could all shoot at the same time.
Okay, wait. You think that Alpo has 15 buddies?!?

I count one unit as one knife regardless of the amount of blades contained within the unit.
Agreed. Some of my EDC knives only have one blade, but my Victorinox Tinker has 2 actual blades, and 4 other tools. I'm not counting the tweezers or toothpick. My Leatherman has one blade, but 7 other tools, plus the pliers.

Did you ever notice that whenever somebody on a TV show falls asleep, passes out, or whatever on the couch in the living room, there's always a blanket hanging over the back of the couch to cover them up with? I don't have a blanket on MY couch. Does everybody else?

You're not far off there. The last few years, CDL standards have been reduced, (I won't say by who), to where CDLs will even be given to "Non Resident Aliens", many of whom CAN'T EVEN READ OR SPEAK ENGLISH. Lately, there have been several fatality accidents caused by these people. I don't know if this guy is one of them, but it appears likely.
The current Administration is working on correcting this problem, and several States are passing laws requiring CDL holders to be able to read and speak English.
Add to that, there are some "Companies" that are letting drivers that don't even HAVE a CDL to drive. Hopefully, that will brought under control.
If you want more on this, Ike at the Youtube channel "Bonehead Truckers" is leading the charge.
