It is morning and my muscles want exercise. Walking, running, jumping jacks, whatever.It is morning, and my boss wants "butt in chair" work.
Sigh. Sometimes I hate my life. Why don't we have cyberware headjacks that transmit to our desktops so I can exercise & work at the same time?
Goole Glass and Fingers input. Or eye-tracking.
cost you a few grand at the moment, but possible

Not really, other than having someone call me one here on the forums.

as an exercise tool, and the other British meaning of "jumping jacks" involves - no, I dare not write it in a forum with so many innocent participants :hehe:
Of course it is rather amusing to speculate on what may be covered by that "whatever" when it follows jumping jacks. :w00t:
Well, THAT is certainly interesting. I'm not even sure what it is.
But no, that's not what I was referring to. This is.

Don't worry Lynn, on performance so far being called in idiot by that guy seems to be a consequence of being accurate. I imagine that his next step will be to edit the original post to make it say what he now claims it said, unless he is not competent even to do that.

Hey Lynn, you're smart!
That should balance it out.
Ahhhhh.... love it when everything balances.

Lynn, remember the bell curve: in any situation 50 percent of the involved are below the average, and 5 percent are on the tail end. That's how normal distribution works and there is nothing you can do about it.

Hey Folks, long time no see. 🙂
So, I after trying to help a poster at StackOverflow, I suggested that they re-post their question to here, because I couldn't figure out what was wrong, but I was pretty sure that it would take some extended diagnosis, which this is a much better site for.
My stong suspicion is that they have some kind of table/index corruption going on, but that's not really my area of expertise. Anyway, their question is here, so if anyone who knows about that kind of thing could take a look at it I would be appreciative.
Thanks, ...

That's odd, in my high school almost everyone was above average.

Ewww, Tom! I hesitate to ask what "squat thrusts" must mean over there. :sick:

Even if he does, he can't correct it in the quote in my post, so it is still there for all to see.

Well, THAT is certainly interesting. I'm not even sure what it is.It's a tube of heavy paper filled with althernating lengths of fuse and tightly confined piles of gunpowder. Light the blue end and retire (rapidly). As the fuse burns to each powder section that section explodes loudly and the thing jumps some distance; if it's well designed, the next powder section explodes just as the thing is landing from the previous jump. Since it isn't particularly rigid, what direction it will go in at each stage is unpredictable.
They are now banned in Britain, which takes a lot of the fun out of November 5th; we can't have jumping jacks, proper catherine wheels (which are called jumping jacks in some parts of the world), aerial shells, or even simple bangers any more - all banned. Fortunately health and safety regulations haven't reached such extremes in much of the rest of Europe. I've seen a few clips on utube of people demoing things claimed to be jumping jacks, but the are not remotely like the real thing: too quiet, and the jumps are really tiny - utterly disappointing.
But no, that's not what I was referring to. This is.
Oh. I remember that being very popular with Physical Training Instructors. I did a lot of them when I was young, bsometimes as punishment and sometimes as warm-up, but until now I didn't know that they were called jumping jacks on your side of the pond.

If Lynn is an idiot, and I was lucky enough to be even half as smart, I think I would be mensa material.
Nice to see Barry's smiling face again!
