Quote from: DavidW on June 20, 2022, 07:02:29 AMMac btw it is system preferences->bluetooth.  Not too hard.  Windows 10 just type bluetooth and select the first thing that comes up.

You are missing the point. How do you do system preferences -> bluetooth when you've turned off bluetooth and your bluetooth mouse and keyboard have both been disconnected? On Mac you don't need to go to system preferences. By default there is a bluetooth pulldown attached to the system menu at the top of the screen.

     'I trusted them with my savings:' Crypto investors scramble after accounts frozen

"I'm already considering that money gone. This is about standing up for all the people who watched my channel and trusted Celsius. They're not going to be able to absorb a loss like I can," Armstrong said, noting he has discussed possible scenarios with his lawyers. "This is about holding those people accountable for what they've done."

     What do you mean "holding those people accountable"? How about holding yourself accountable, eh? As far as I know crypto is a legal scam.

     People iz dum. The fact that dummies scam themselves while scamming others isn't unexpected. Ideological dingdongs do just that, getting high on their own supply like Cheech and Chong.

First a thread was locked. Then a thread about why the thread was locked was locked. The provocateur in me was tempted to start a thread about why the thread about the thread being locked was locked. But I thought better of it.  0:)

I can very well understand why the thread about why the other thread was locked was locked. What I can't understand is why the first thread was locked.

I just hope my remark won't cause this very thread to be locked.

Indeed, Karl.

But l must thank DavidW. While I'm somewhat  notorious for regularly producing obvious puns, it's a rare pleasure to divest myself of an obvious recursive pun.
