    I've said how bad I am at these types of games (Jumble, eg).

    You are more of a Whatzit guy, I can figure this out most days, it gets easier after you do it for a while. It is next to the Sudoku which I do most days.

    If it was a lie it was Tuckers since he’s the one that said it.

    Well, that's certainly one simple minded way of looking at it.

    Boston College was 4 miles from my house, so I could walk there. My father went there, my grandfather went there. There was no need for any extra visit, an easy decision.

    When I started there the majority were commuters, after 4 years the majority were residents. I think it is now 100% residents. No more living in your parents house and walking to school.

    Excellent outcome. I hate that it happened in Ohio, but glad it turned out correctly.

    It seems unlikely that piano is making the recorded sounds we are hearing inasmuch as the sustain pedal seem innoperative.

    Other than her name, why did President Trump endorse her vs. the other people going in the primary?

    Because she stopped John McCain from becoming President?

    @taiwan_girl said in Hey Klaus!:

    What do you guys think of mirrorless digital SLR cameras?

    They're a bit better than DSLRs but either take fine images.

    Same sensor technology, although most companies now (outside of Nikon) are putting their R&D into mirrorless. Digital viewfinders give you more information than an optical, which is what you normally get with a DSLR. True opticals can't give you a live histogram, focus peaking or highlight readings, and digitals can. A lot of mirrorless cameras are lighter enough to be noticeable. The downside is the battery life, but that's becoming a moot point.

    The only reason to have a DSLR rather than a mirrorless is if you've already invested too much in DSLR glass for the upgrade to be worth it. Which it wouldn't be. That's why Nikon came out with a new DSLR on its standard mount system right before the olympics: the market was professionals in exactly that situation.
