They are utterly ridiculous animals. We have four, getting a bit long in the beak now, but it's fitting because we named them after The Golden Girls.
Mr. The Codewitch argues with them. I didn't want them at first, but I've grown fond of them.
Except Blanche. The hussy.

I agree. Chickens are great. We have few ourselves. Not as pets though, hard to eat a pet.

20 years ago, the Norwegian Minister of Agriculture expressed the same idea, except that we still call hens 'hens', not chicken - that is for these fluffy, yellow down balls. In a broadcasted political debate about the shortage of eggs, he expressed his opinion that 'Every man should have his own hen'.
There is only one hitch: In Norwegian slang, 'hen' is a term for a female c**t.
To me, it appears as if the ambiguity was unintentional, but if you know Norwegian, you can judge by yourself: Lars Sponheim: - Hver mann sin høne (10.03.2004)[^] (crossing my fingers that the YouTube clip is available in your location)

I just recieved a "TV mini box"* and it works fine - except it doesn't have the main free channels: BBC1, BBC2, ITV, and Channel 4 (and probably others). Channel 5 is there, but not the ones before it. So checking online I need to look at the TV settings, and there is a button "Update Channels". No, there isn't. Just some info on how many channels I have, and a single "Done" button. The main box is connected to the same router via the same Wifi and has 'em all ... but not the new box.
So I go to the supplier site, and look in the help, and it says to click the "Update Channels" button that doesn't exist so I go to tech support and find the "contact us" button. Move the mouse over that, and ... the button appears on the TV. 
Click it, and the channels appear.
I think I scared it into working ...
* I junked Sky back in January in favour of a "streaming only" TV service for 1/2 the price and twice the reliability, and just got sent a box to work in a second room

It's either that, or a super-efficient response team.

I had something similar happen.
We have an eufy outdoor camera that started to only last 1 day after charging as if the lithium battery was needing replacement and the camera would just say "offline" in the app. Word on the interweb is that you're not going to get at the battery but there are two screws on the back so let's start there said I. I extracted the first screw and my wife exclaimed at that moment, "It's back!" - no kidding. And furthermore it says it's fully charged so I took it back it it's station on the porch.

I've been threatening these machines with violence for the last 40 years. Works every time.

I have that effect. People have problems with their computer/phone/printer/whatever, I show up, ask them to demonstrate the problem, and it just starts working...

Me too. The very same effect. On other peoples machines.
My own machines, are the opposite. They, really, really, love to infuriate me.

That too.
My mere presence fixes other people's systems.
This does not apply to my own however.
And mine never present simple problems.

The Babbage programming language ([^]) provides a special programming mechanism for handling such situations, the 'conditional threat' statement: DO -so and so - OR ELSE.

In the 1980's I programmed in the real Babbage language on GEC 4000 computers at Manchester University and Daresbury Laboratory and thought "I don't remember that!", but the article you referenced is clearly a spoof!

The two languages are completely independent of each other. The name coincidence it nothing but a conincidence.
(Note that even 'your' Babbage language has taken its name from somewhere else )

How fine do you grind your coffee grounds for american coffee? I'm curious to know how other people do it, as I have very little experience with that coffee making process.
I use coarse for french press, midway between coarse and fine for moka, ultrafine for turkish but I never know how to grind it for american.

I just set my bean to cup machine to "finest grind" and leave it there.

I tried with a fine grind yesterday and it seems it improved the taste quite a bit, I will sample better when not sleepwalking.

Greetings Kind Regards
By American do you mean Americano? If so from a video I just now learned it is an espresso poured into a cup of water. So presumably the grind is that of an espresso. By the way perhaps this site may be of use Coffee ad Astra[^] If not Americano may I inquire the meaning. The method of brewing I am most familiar wtih is "Cowboy".

That's an Americano if you ask it in Italy. I'm referring to the drip coffee machines so common in the USA.
