No need

he coming “Birthday” or “Anniversary” of Techrights is only days away and I didn’t prepare anything special because the team at Techrights still believes that it’s better to spend a year building as a form of celebration.

Birthdays are typically a “kids’ thing” – a special day for a child to feel special or the “centre of attention”.

Birthdays are more important at numbers like 10 or 20…

Techrights is turning 20. Birthday? No.

Tight with daylight time

oday we are meant to go to the park, as usual, but various chores might make this a bit challenging, plus the fact that it gets rather dark around 4PM and almost fully dark at around 5PM.

I am starting to think we might visit the park to feed the birds only on Sundays.

Winters suck. They are worse when one lives near the poles.

I know people to whom winter doesn’t mean short days. It means no days. At all. For several weeks if not months.

Let’s evaluate

oday is the day. The weather is fairly mild and I plan to go investigate why Manchester City Council is unable to provide the services taxpayers are paying for.

In this case, voting is not the solution. The Council is an organ not tied to any political party.

If necessary, I’ll raise the issue further up the chain.

3 more points

he match went (in the second half) as well as the first, but I can’t get past the fact fans now dress up as bananas, at least in this away match.

Here are the highlights in two minutes. Some stunning saves by Donnarumma, but also serious mistakes again.

Make Manchester “great again”?

he local Arndale Centre has changed a lot in recent decades. I remember how it was several decades back and how it made the city (or City Centre) as a whole look or feel. I purchased clothes and CDs, I bought some fresh foods there, but it was still considered a poor people’s “mall” or shopping centre.

Manchester has come a long way since then, not just because of the skyscrapers.

Today I follow some football (ManCity) and tomorrow I’ll go to the City (Town) to study why the City Council is so incompetent. I’ll bring Rianne and a notebook with me. I’ll report the outcomes here.

I love Manchester, I really do, so when something doesn’t work right I will try to fix it.

Own goal

he term “own goal” has been used here a lot in recent years. We got told that people who were trying to censor us had scored giant own goals.

That prediction or explanation has aged well.

Today, in the away Champions League match, an own goal was scored. It’s ManCity’s first shot on target and it wasn’t even a shot by a ManCity player.

Let’s see if ManCity can hang on like this for another half.

Lately there have been some struggles at ManCity after a splendid start.

Published yesterday: Intel Corporation Down Over 51% in One Month, the US Bailout Didn’t Work

he INTC (Intel) shares fell from $140 (about 4 months ago) to just $57 today.

Intel is worthless junk and relying on the slop bubble would further worsen its market position in the long run.

Intel has nothing special to offer anymore.

When I grew up in the 90s INTC was growing; the sky was the limit.
