    Next time you're washing your hands and the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children -- last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs -- thick straw -- piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof -- hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway, hence, a "thresh hold." In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been there for quite awhile. Hence the rhyme, "peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man "could bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning and death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Most people did not have pewter plates, but had trenchers, a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Often trenchers were made from stale bread which was so old and hard that they could be used for quite some time. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms and mold got into the wood and old bread. After eating off wormy, moldy trenchers, one would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer." And that's the truth. . . (who ever said that History was boring)?

    Semne de circulatie la italieni (si pentru cei cu spirit de observatie, completate in stil romanesc).
  6. Cred ca vrei topicurile Instalatii GPL, si AC pe Cielo STD, ca problemele tale nu se regasesc pe acest topic
  7. The ABS lamp should light up when you start your engine, and turn off after a few seconds.
  8. Hai sa nu fim rai, peste tot e la fel. Uite, si-n Canada. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/loca...62_dige19m.html Numerele de azi: 3,19,30,34,45,46
  9. Sa-nteleg ca e baterie cu intretinere, din aceea cu dopuri pentru completarea electrolitului ? Sulfatare e incorect spus, asta inseamna ca se depune sulf pe placile de plumb din acumulator, ceea ce nu cred ca e cazul.
  10. Teoretic, daca ai un cache maricel la HDD, si un player care sa aiba o optiune sa citeasca urmatoarea melodie din playlist in RAM, ar trebui ca HDD sa fie oricum foarte putin accesat. Asta e metoda folosita de iPodurile cu HDD. In rest, ce sa zic - poze cu proiectul si sa-ti iasa repede !
  11. Gata, s-a reparat, merge de pe toate adresele.
  12. Cum o sa reziste HDD-ul la vibratii/socuri/gropi te-ai gandit ?
  13. Eu sunt convins ca informatizarea sistemului a avut o influenta. Practic, in orice moment, poti sti ce numere nu s-au jucat.
  14. Asta nu prea cred, n-am vazut pe nimeni sa faca manevra asta la viteza. Cel mai mult o practica taximetristii, si o fac de parca ar transporta oua si cuie la un loc, extrem de incet.
  15. E clar ca pe polei/mazga sunt un dezastru. Cel putin, am observat ca-s montate cu suruburi in asfalt. Mai e un rand de bumps de alta natie, pe bulevard, din gogoloaie mici si multe, acolo mi-a iesit sicana la 80 km/h. Imi recunosc pacatele, dar e o provocare, ce sa zic.
  16. Au umplut si republica Ploiesti de d-astea. Macar sunt "UE", adica nu-s mogaldete de bitum, cum puneau pana acum (si-n dusmanie rau de tot, in diagonala un pic, si inalte rau), ci din cauciuc si cu curbura mare. Si nu e loc sa le ocolesti prin dreapta. La intrarea in oras (dinspre Bucuresti) pusesera initial doar pe un sens, si cum bineinteles ca le ocolea toata lumea, au pus pe intreaga latime a drumului, pe ambele parti. In restul orasului au ramas doar cate una pe sens, si intr-adevar, toata lumea le ocoleste. Recunosc ca si eu o fac, cand e drumul liber, imi place senzatia de "sicana"
  17. Nu cred ca-i necesara plasa, e suprafata mica. Practic, e o "surpare" de 20-30 cm, cred ca si doar nisip ar ajunge, da' e mai fun cu ciment Nu construim totusi drum public, sa reziste la sute de mii de masini, doar niste ... plombe.

    Daca mai aud pe cineva plangandu-se ca e aglomerat pe litoral ... il trimit aici.
  19. Tot de Gauss le-am zis si eu celor care argumentau probabilitatea egala pentru orice varianta de numere ar iesi (inclusiv 1,2,3,4,5,6). Probabilistic, ok, dar in timp, trebuia sa se incadreze in Gauss, nu distributia mediana, tip clopot, deoarece nr. 1 nu este minim absolut, il are in stanga pe 49, iar 49 nu e maxim absolut, ci il are in dreapta pe ... 49
  20. Nu, nu va fi pe 6 septembrie. Mike, 5 saci de ciment ??? nu facem curte, facem o mica rampa de 1.5 metri latime si 15 cm inaltime, precum si o groapa care n-are mai mult de 1 metru patrat toata ! Suprafata e asfalt intr-o parte, si ... pamant/asfalt in alta parte. Ce e ala "con" ? Pe post de indreptar e buna si-o scandura, gasim.
  21. Mi se pare a rasufla o extrema impresie de produs de unica folosinta. Nu stiu de ce, asta mi-e impresia.
  22. Iar un indiciu este deja prezent ... doar ca e ascuns bine. Vizibil, dar ascuns.
  23. Evenimentul se va inregistra prin diverse mijloace ... chiar live, nu stiu daca putem, dar materiale media vor fi garla. Restul ... rece, gheata, intr-adevar

    Un politist se duce la sectie in preajma Pastelui si-l intreaba pe capitan:- Don’ capitan, nu cumparati juma’ de porc ? Capitanu’ dupa ce se gandeste putin:- Da’ ce sa fac cu jumatate de porc tampitule , vrei sa mi se rastoarne in cotet ?
