The Questions not worth their own thread thread VII

[Gilder]

The "History" Channel has been stupid for a while now Case in point, their laughable "Nostradamus Effect" series. They're swallowing the 2012 bull whole!

None of them at the network probably believe it, they're just selling it. People tend to watch more conspiracy theories and pop history than actual history.

What do you call that little dangly thing at the back of your throat? And what is it used for?

The uvula. It's supposed to help with speech and somehow prevent you from choking.

They're outright lying, though. They should seriously be reprimanded for spreading this apocalyptic crap.

Personally, I think they must have hitched a ride with Zheng He

Gavin Menzies approves of this message.

Gavin Menzies approves of Gavin Menzies having money. I'm surprised he didn't write the Knights Templar into 1421.

I love their little pissing contest with the Discovery channel with stupid shows like the lumberjack thing to try to counter Deadliest Catch. Also the whole thing of them going from the Hitler channel to the Nostradamus Mayan doomsday channel.

Eh. Dont get me started on that bs.

By who, the FCC? As long as 2012 is in pop culture, the H will cover it.

I'll work that in to my planned book about the Anglo-Saxons purchasing England.

I've already had one ghost written by a Chinese team.

Thanks about the uvula thing.

Another question: this video I know was transferred from VHS. What's that little bar at the very bottom of the video that the colors sorta move back and forth. And isn't that a cool version of the song?

Also, how to deal with a really sore throat other than salt water (strong gag reflex) and cough drops (they taste awful and sorta bitter).

 

[Flying Pig]

Has anyone else seen An Inspector Calls? It's a great play, but I didn't get some of it:

• Was there necessarily a girl who committed suicide at all?
• Are Eva Smith and Daisy Renton necessarily the same person?
• If Goole is not a policeman, how come he knows so much about everything?
• Did everyone see the same photograph?

Any literate people, please help!

I played a PC game and now all of my desktop icons have been resized into a square format about 2/3 my screen resolution. If I restart my comp or something, will they all go back to normal?

I have like 50 shortcuts and had them all arranged in neat little groups

 

[Cutlass]

Restart and see. Some games resize your screen. It should go back to normal when the game closes. If it doesn't, post in computer support to find out why.

Yes, with any luck they should. I've had this/similar problems multiple times with games which run various resolutions/color schemes; you might even be able to just manually reset your screen settings too without restarting. Hope it works out.

 

[cardgame]

All right, awesome, thanks guys.

 

[Lord Baal]

What Earthling said. I have a similar problem with text sometimes. All the text I read online changes size when I restart my computer. If restarting it doesn't fix it, I go to "View: Text Size," and change it from whatever the hell it's gone to back to medium. If it's not the actual resolution itself, you may want to try that to resize things.

Try hot tea and honey. Add lemon if that sounds good.

Shot of whiskey. Preferably something that really burns like Johnny Red.

Ibuprofen? (Preferrably not in conjunction with Cheezy's suggestion...)

Hey, if you took them both at once you'd definitely stop worrying about your throat.
