Honestly! When will human beings learn to treat one another with respect!?

Sigh! I guess as Einstein said:

Major weather event going on down here. Houses and animals being swept away in NSW. Totally horrendous what we are seeing.

One cow got swept out to see and lifesavers saw her trying to stay afloat and keep her head up and they went out and got her and landed her ok and she’s now in a paddock but she’s probably the only one out of her herd. Dead cows everywhere by all accounts.

We’re in Queensland much further north but we are also having a big weather event.

We’re ok at our place but the creek has gone bonkers so bridge out of here is under — goes under at 2m on the online guage and is now at 3+m

Just watched some daft bludger leave multi millionaire’s place on block 4 of our subdivision at high speed in 4WD …..think they might be back shortly ?:-)

There are a lot of new people in the area who don’t really know the dangers of the waterway here and what it is capable of.?

But I bought in supplies in anticipation so as long as the power stays up we are ok …… cooked dinner early just in case we lost power.?

It turns out one of my nursers is a big Indiana Jones fan too. So when I said:

She finished it off with:

I think the current rain event in our area has been a bit of an eye opened for the newbies round the district who have moved in away from the city during covid. I did laugh (I shouldn’t) one of ‘em posted a pic to the page where people ask to have snakes ID done by qualified people…. and one of them posted what was in fact a very large worm ?:-)?

Everything out here is larger — snakes, spiders……honestly some of them must be wondering why they moved out here with the wildlife.?

Oh, a fellow Eagle reader? I used to read Eagle and, later, Girl too, having started out on Mickey Mouse Weekly plus, occasionally, Dandy and Beano. I still have some Eagle Annuals but they are modern printings not valuable antiques!

When it comes to magazines, I used to read Cosmopolitan before it became as obsessed with sex as it apparently now is, but regular magazines were PC Gamer and PC Gaming World, you get the picture! That is how i got into playing EverQuest and boy it was hard back then: no maps for starters, no idea where any of the quest givers were, people just passed on the info between them. I started taking the odd Mac magazine on an irregular basis, eventually subscribing to MacFormat but with Computeractive (fortnightly) as well. ?I’ve just drifted out of MacFormat, as it was becoming increasingly irrelevant to someone with years-old gear and ignoring the latest OS because it zaps some of my favourite applications. I did transfer, for my last MacFormat year, to the digital version but did not renew that. Future Publishing tried to reactivate my Direct Debit for a new paper subscription but I quickly put a stop to that, so now it’s just Computeractive, which does deal with Mac gear and answer Mac users’ queries too. During lockdown, they offered subscribers access to an online edition, as they had occasional problems with their paper deliveries, although I never needed that. I do prefer the paper mag, although of course online editions mean you can enlarge the parts that ageing eyes find hard to read!?

?I usually get a little flag in the corner of my iMac’s screen, asking whether I want it in Photos or just accepted; I usually choose Photos because, if it goes elsewhere, I can’t find it. ?I don’t use the cloud at all, other than with AirDrop. With digital, though, how come there is an “original”? That is something I can’t get my head around. Why can’t my iPhone just behave like a camera, when I take a photo? ?:D

When you are airdropping is it going just into your downloads folder or is it going into the Photos program and being catalogued ? If its going into Photos then yes it would probably be accessible on everything else if its going to the cloud.

The original would be wherever you put it first I imagine.

I thought taking photos with my phone would be simple. ?I take the pic, use AirDrop to transfer it to my 16in MacBook Pro, running Catalina, also, separately, to my 27in iMac that runs High Sierra. I then drag and drop, from whichever Mac I am using, onto our Primary network drive.

The problem starts when I try to copy from either Mac to post it on Facebook. I get told that the original cannot be found, so I can’t copy the copy that I want to copy! If I use my digital camera and do the same thing, it works without complaining. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
