    In March when the Covid panic broke loose, people actually /were/ hoarding toilet paper (and other things). But that was 8 month ago and people have come to their senses again. No more empty shells in Albert Heijn.

    BTW, only 3 errors in you morse code. Not too bad, but no cigar...


    Cheers, Michiel

    I decode it as "weid". Because of the "--. .. --. --. .-... ...", my guess is that ".-- .. -. ." was meant.

    How do you get from "--. .. --. --. .-... ..." to "weid"? It translates to "giggs" according to an online morse decoder, where the fith character '.-...' translates to nothing...

    Hello Wilfred,

    On Monday November 30 2020 13:19, you wrote to me:

    MvdV>> I decode it as "weid".

    The "it" relates to the "what else". It is coded as ".-- . .. -.."

    Because I do not use an automatic translator and have experience reading imperfect straight key hand send morse with QRM, I can anticipate and correct on operator errors.

    MvdV>> Because of the "--. .. --. --. .-...
    MvdV>> ...", my guess is that ".-- .. -. ." was meant.

    On second thoughts: he may have meant ".-- . . -.." { Morse palindrome ;-) }

    How do you get from "--. .. --. --. .-... ..." to "weid"?

    I do not...

    It translates to "giggs" according to an online morse decoder, where
    the fith character '.-...' translates to nothing...

    The ".-..." is a result of bad quoting. In the original it is ".-.. .". The word translates as "giggles".

    BTW, the other error in the original in the the coding of "The Netherlands", It is coded as "The Netheflands".

    Sigh!

    What's with this weird US toilet paper obsession? Whenever there is a cricies of any kind, they all storm to the nearby supermarket and fights like their lives depended on it, emptying the shelves as fast as possible.

    It simply makes no sense to me. But then again, I have a bid‚ at home and uses about one roll of toilet paper per year -- usually used up by foreign visitors who prefer spreading their shit around between their buttocks with a handful of paper rather than washing it away with the bid‚.

    Quite a cultural difference, I'd say...?

    Kimberly Clark, Georgia-Pacific, and Proctor & Gamble all have great marketing departments.

    No one is more susceptible to conspiracy theories through marketing than us 'murricans!

    Hello Bj”rn,

    .. toilet paper and what else? ;-)

    Sigh!

    You wouldn't understand.

    What's with this weird US toilet paper obsession?

    Well, I'll try to explain. The best way I can. It's like this.
    Different types for different folks. Po' folks get the scratchy
    kind. You know, the cheap stuff. Very smooth, never quite gets
    it all out. Know what I mean? Gotta keep using it and using it
    until you either run out or your hiny gets too raw to take any
    more. Rich folks get the plush stuff that feels really good,
    that only they can afford.

    Whenever there is a cricies of any kind, they all storm to the nearby supermarket and fights like their lives depended on it, emptying the shelves as fast as possible.

    I have seen this. Many times. Even when there is no reason,
    people keep doing it. This is what makes them happy. Keep their
    hinies happy. Before others deny them from being able to.

    It simply makes no sense to me.

    Why should it make sense? You're a Swede.

    I am being totally serious here, making nothing up.

    A major paper company built a huge plant (in the shape of a
    geodesic dome) right by the Mississippi River Bridge in Baton
    Rouge, Louisiana. All the trees that could be chopped down in
    a four hundred square mile area were chopped down, and made
    into toilet paper. Once all the trees had been chopped down,
    the company laid off all the workers. And then came the novel
    coronavirus. All the former employees then had to sell their
    houses because they had no jobs and not enough savings to
    pay their mortgages. But rich folks got all the plush toilet
    paper they could ever want.

    But then again, I have a bid‚ at home and uses about one roll of toilet paper per year -- usually used up by foreign visitors who prefer
    spreading
    their shit around between their buttocks with a handful of paper rather than washing it away with the bid‚.

    There are no big trees left in the USA. Except those in national
    forests, where they are protected. What that means is there are no
    longer any big beams and timbers that can be used to build houses
    with.

    Does Sweden still have a forest? A real forest with big trees?

    The USA used to. Once upon a time. Canada is trying to join the
    USA in that department, but has not quite gotten there yet.

    Quite a cultural difference, I'd say...?

    You don't know what you are missing. Wiping your own ass with
    plush toilet paper is a luxury, and a most thrilling experience.
    Even more erotic than sex for some folks.

    En bidé, franska bidet, är en anordning för personlig hygien, där en vertikal vattenstråle rengör underlivet. Bidén kan användas efter toalettbesök vilket minskar åtgången av toalettpapper.


    Wouldn't it be more important to fix the charset issue?

    Mine works just fine. So does Bj”rn's. Not sure why Ward has
    a problem with his. And to think, Belgian is comprised of three
    charsets - Dutch, French, and German. He must have confused it
    with Flemish.
