    Repeatedly Logged Out on Same Page

    I have been experiencing exactly this phenomenon for the past several days. Win10 Pro desktop, Firefox browser. I usually don't check 'stay logged in', but even if I do, it makes no difference. And if I refresh a page, most of the time I find myself instantly logged off. I never use 'incognito...

    Proofreading anyone ... historical content

    I have done copy-editing for Univ. of Calif. Press and others (in the distant past). Right now I'm beset with serious medical issues, so I don't have time to go over your entire list. I will just address the first one. 'with regards to' is incorrect: there should not be an 's' on 'regard'. The...

    Misuse of words-Which ones bother you?

    a 'troop' is a GROUP of soldiers or military personnel a 'trooper' is an INDIVIDUAL soldier or military person It is not correct to say that "two troops were injured" when describing something that happened to two soldiers.

    Power Cable Warning Labels and Confusion

The Stand-By switch is...

    Shouldn't be a problem. But Speakon on both ends is best.

    Anyone got rid of eye floaters?

    I've had four rather large ones for about ten years now. They move constantly left and right. Makes reading charts very difficult.

    driving - Do you "signal" when changing lanes?

    I always signal, whether I can or cannot see other people and cars in my vicinity. I know that I'm not omniscient and can't see everywhere. Sometimes other people or cars might be able to see me, but I might not be able to see them. So I don't waste my energy surveying the scene to detect the...
