I was wondering why upload a PDF file to the forum when you gave a link to same

Some people want both.  Also redundancy for unexpected problems.

Wondering why the PDF...

-tomos (April 30, 2017, 05:53 AM)

If the question is why I named it that, then the answer is that the forwarded e-mail I got the pictures from was titled that. The original title of the forwarded email is at the bottom.

I call this Shadow Mountains. My regular camera wouldn't focus on these mountains(too much sun glare probably), so I used my phone camera.

-Arizona Hot (October 21, 2016, 11:41 AM)

This is a Microsoft ICE panorama of those mountains(Post #350) using pictures taken with my new camera which CAN focus on them. I finally have a good panorama of this. Looks good?

It looks like Classic Shell will have to produce a Creators Update version.The latest version there is 4.3, which I have.

-Arizona Hot (April 13, 2017, 06:38 AM)

I don't know what happened(maybe the Update wasn't settled yet), but now I can re-organize that menu.

I was online before the Internet(locally in the Seattle area only), I never(maybe) had one of the phone cup modems. If I did, I switched to a direct connect 300 baud modem early(then to 600, 1200 and 2400 baud modems). I was known as Whatever then. I wasn't interested in the hacked games that were so common on those boards, I supplied music and pictures to the places I visited. I had trouble getting on the Internet(when it became available) because I had a Commodore computer which was too primitive for the Internet(very durable though until I had to get rid of it for lack of space), until I got my first PC(Windows 95). Did any of you have a version before that? The Commie was at least 15 years old and still going strong(even if there was nothing for it available online) when I had to get rid of it, unlike my more recent machines which all have died on me unexpectedly(with their boots on so to speak). I still have all my Commodore pictures and music(translated to more recent and usable formats).

Actually I took 12 shots of that sunset, of which I think this is the best. You will find the other 11 below. You may like all 12 equally, but I don't.

I found this to be a decent overview of the major new features of the Creators Update:

-Deozaan (April 05, 2017, 10:29 PM)

Because of my very recent acquisition of the Creators Update, I found the article below interesting also(and it's not a 26 minute video). You may not mind that after the amount of time it takes to install the Update.

schmuck (n.)

-Arizona Hot (April 11, 2017, 09:58 PM)

If you happen to Schlep on over to google, see "putz." 

I have always considered "Schmucked" to be a verb.  If you made a fool of someone we say you fooled them in English.  So I figure in Yiddish slang if you made a Schmuck out of someone, you have Schmucked them.  Seems logical at least. 

Edit: Therefore I would assume a Schmucker is a person who habitually makes Schmucks out of others.

-MilesAhead (April 13, 2017, 05:23 PM)

and here I was worried that Mouser would consider the post to be "pron" because of Jew's beliefs about the word. See my Basement post of dark jokes and let me know if you think it is too dark for here.

If you eat a lot of Smucker's. is that evidence that you are a schmuck?

schmuck (n.)
also shmuck, "contemptible person," 1892, from East Yiddish shmok, literally "penis," probably from Old Polish smok "grass snake, dragon," and likely not the same word as German Schmuck "jewelry, adornments," which is related to Low German smuck "supple, tidy, trim, elegant," and to Old Norse smjuga "slip, step through" (see smock).
In Jewish homes, the word was "regarded as so vulgar as to be taboo" [Leo Rosten, "The Joys of Yiddish," 1968] and Lenny Bruce wrote that saying it on stage got him arrested on the West Coast "by a Yiddish undercover agent who had been placed in the club several nights running to determine if my use of Yiddish terms was a cover for profanity." Euphemized as schmoe, which was the source of Al Capp's cartoon strip creature the shmoo.
"Additional associative effects from German schmuck 'jewels, decoration' cannot be excluded (cross-linguistically commonplace slang: cf. Eng. 'family jewels')" [Mark R.V. Southern, "Contagious Couplings: Transmission of Expressives in Yiddish Echo Phrases," 2005]. But the English phrase refers to the testicles and is a play on words, the "family" element being the essential ones. Words for "decoration" seem not to be among the productive sources of European "penis" slang terms.
