Something weird happened to a post of mine. I made a quoted reply to a post here but can find no trace of it. If it shows up in another thread, it actually belongs here.

Go to https://www.geekzone.co.nz/user_profile.asp and scroll down to Your Forum Topics. Does the Date Last Reply column have an entry that lines up with when you posted?

Edit: That column doesn't show what I thought it did (it shows the date of anyone's reply, not your own). It might not help.

It seems to have vanished into quantum space. I have no idea where it could have gone but I don't feel like typing it again.

That I can't seem to enjoy the 'new' subwoofer I bought a couple of years ago that wasn't working, that I recently got working with a tiny setting in my Amp. It sounds awesome and I love the sound now, but I can't let go of the annoyance of it not working for the last couple of years and that annoys me.

It's sitting right next to your good reading glasses and your spare set of car keys. Find those and you'll get your post back.

I guess they don't want my weekly (minimum number of lines) Lotto investment.

It's not an investment, it's a donation.
Hmm, that'll look funny on your next tax claim form. Nah it's neither. It's actually a stupid tax.

Don't worry, I'm stupid too.

I compare the cost of the enjoyment in thinking about what I'd do with the winnings with the cost of a coffee and how long I enjoy it.

ROTFLMAO...a few years back I went for a "drive", the aim was to go from coast to coast , Napier to New Plymouth across country.

So got to Napier from Palmy, did the Gentle Annie to Taihape, realised I have left my phone/camera charger back in Palmy, so drove back to palmy to pick them up, drove up to Taumarunui.

Stayed the night there with friends, then did the forgotten highway to Whangamōmona and then across to New Plymouth.

Next day went around the coast of Taranaki back to Palmy.

If I had not forgotten my chargers I would have gone down the Whangaehu valley road to the Parapara rd and then headed up to Raetihi to Taumarunui.

Few hours of unexpected and unwanted travel.... but still an interesting trip.

My youngest son suddenly decided to make microwave popcorn at 11pm last night.

He managed to burn it (I'd say he was likely on Tik Tok or some other nonsense and forgot it was on), so now the house stinks of burnt buttery popcorn.
It's a really harsh smell and with my newly returned sense of smell (18 months of not being able to smell anything unpleasant after COVID), I now have a really bad headache from the odour.

Behodar:

The odds of getting a win don't change, but the odds of getting a larger prize (if you do win) do.

I remember from my maths studies on probability the concept of 'expected value'. Are you saying that the EV in Lotto changes when there's a 'must be won' draw? I wouldn't have thought so - but maybe ...

Edit: I was tempted to (but didn't) change my post when I subsequently saw this. I stand corrected.

I also found this article/analysis - the Conclusion is very interesting imo but I guess it doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I have been cutting away some hugely overgrown thickets of wild blackberries taking over my property. These are the devil’s fruit, the plant from hell, put on this earth to make us suffer. Blackberries are almost impossible to kill. They have a hundred different ways of reproducing and they spread like a mustard stain on a white dress. The thorns are like a million bayonets piercing through every armour. The cut vines lie hidden on the ground, waiting to entrap and stab you. There is nothing harder to get rid of, nothing more painful, nothing more frustrating, nothing more annoying.

Bougainvillea.

Worse thorns that curve inwards and not even any edible fruit.

Made a cake with my Sunbeam hand mixer I’ve had for a few years now and that I always press the black eject button on top to release the beaters for cleaning, bit of struggle usually. Lots of sun and light in the kitchen today and I notice the button actually reads Power Boost.

The speed control in front of that pushes down to eject.
