So damned complicated to update to 5 year old technology from 8 or 10 year old technology

Agreed. Technology sucks anyway. Might just be better to walk around with an old Rolodex lol

[Wayne R]

Well, I can export them one by one now, passing by Gmail.

So damned complicated to update to 5 year old technology from 8 or 10 year old technology.

[ottoman]

Wherever your contacts are stored........you should be able to export them to a VCF file or maybe a CSV file.

are the contacts under the "people" app?

[Wayne R]

OK, so near as I can figure, I have to send all my contacts to my GMAIL account and then download them via gmail.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I DON'T want to do.

Ah hell, I'll just enter it all one by one instead of giving big brother more data to chew on.

[ottoman]

ok, try this.

you will want to "export" your contacts from you NOKIA 500 Windows phone to a VCF file. What I would try, is transfer this VCF file to a computer.

(I am assuming you know how to connect your phone to your computer, so that you can transfer files)

Then, transfer the VCF file from the computer, to the new NOKIA 3.1 android phone (preferably to your "Downloads" folder.)

Once the VCF file is on the android phone, go to your "contacts" app on the android phone. Choose "Fix & Manage", then choose "import from File". In my case, I then have to choose "device".

I then have to locate the file (it opened right to the "Downloads" folder)

Hopefully that works.

Several years ago I saw a correlation between the DOW, US$, EURO and noticed that Canadian $ and Australian $ lagged a few minutes behind, but followed upward or downward trends.

I'm talking minutes.

Looking back, it was actually nuts what I was doing premarket. Trading FUTURES on a hunch. But bored before the market opened I managed to make 200-300 bucks in a couple hours UNTIL my theory went out the window and everything went in crazy directions and I lost my ass.

Anyway, there was or is a thread on ihub about computer help. think I visited it once years ago.

I got this NOKIA 500 windows phone that I want to transfer contacts and data to a NOKIA 3.1 android.

Internet is useless, all I get is that I need to send the info to GOOGLE to get it back on the other phone.

Ain't no way in hell I'm sending all my contacts to google.

The damned CIA would be knocking on my door at 3am demanding answers....

[ottoman]

Interesting. Bitcoin also bounced right about 3 pm Eastern yesterday. So much for Crypto being a hedge against a market downturn. (Many called it a hedge against inflation).

But it seems crypto follows the market ( and has been for some time)

[ottoman]

Yeah, that last hour of trading was something. We'll see

[Theo]

The "whoosh" meebee????

My personal gut sez not so fast fat boy....

[Wayne R]

Maybe they’re secretly aiming for Russia…

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

They have calculated the trajectory of the asteroid, the rocket, the exact point of impact, calculated the fallout, and every single piece of space debris will exactly hit, within 3 meters of a nuclear missile silo in Russia.

A BRILLIANT PLAN!

Don't let the details get out...

[jobynimble]

Maybe they’re secretly aiming for Russia…

[Wayne R]

Won't work, the fragments hit Paris. I've seen the movie

[ottoman]

Hmmm. My guess is that NASA has a plan in place. They are intentionally changing the trajectory of the asteroid, so that maybe in 100 years or so, it will hit the Earth, or fly so close to the Earth, that it will effect the outcome of a Presidential Election in the U.S.

[Wayne R]

NASA on Monday will attempt a feat humanity has never before accomplished: deliberately smacking a spacecraft into an asteroid to slightly deflect its orbit, in a key test of our ability to stop cosmic objects from devastating life on Earth.

If it wasn't gonna hit us in the first place, why try to deflect it, screw up the trajectory so much that it might actually hit us.

If it wasn't going to hit us, why bother?

deliberately smacking a spacecraft into an asteroid to slightly deflect its orbi

I don't remember if I heard this in a film, read it in a book, or whatever.

But it seems like an approach like smashing a clock with a hammer to see how it works.

Ha! love that

[SSP]

100%!!

[Theo]

Sure and even business knows how (or at least takes advantage of):

“You can go from a Whole Foods to a Walmart, from a Walmart to a Dollar General,” Feler said. “Once you’re a low income consumer, you are already at the cheapest place that you can possibly buy food. And that just means that these stores have more pricing power.”

[SSP]

That's all true, you can start a fire, sometimes it burns down a country side, sometimes it ends after a few bushes burn.

Yes, I'm a believer this was all planned. Lot of wealth being raked in, "money" doesn't disappear.

[Theo]

Interesting Breitbart News piece (You can see why manipulation is so easy to cook) :

"One of the things that went largely unnoticed about yesterday's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is how little consensus there is about the median term future."

...
It's no wonder Fed Chair Jerome Powell continuously emphasized just how uncertain the future is. As he put it on Wednesday, "These projections do not represent a Committee decision or plan, and no one knows with any certainty where the economy will be a year or more from now."

[Theo]

I found that book in PDF format : The Physics of Wall Street

[SSP]

I've spoken to Investment bankers from the UK in August, and they said September was going to be the worst month. It's all in the play, just like the CPI number was cooked to be 8.3%, to justify the Feds hawkish stance. But I see the Fed reacting like a driver at a green light not moving, until someone honks, and then burns rubber driving forward.

It wouldn't be the first time CPI number was cooked, go to 5:18

"Sept 23 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs has cut its year-end 2022 target for the benchmark S&P 500 (.SPX) index by about 16% to 3,600 points, as the U.S. Federal Reserve shows little signs of stepping back from its aggressive rate-hike stance."

"It probably means we're close to a market bottom"

I gotta agree- ever since the June lows there's been chatter that those lows will (should) be tested again because we never got capitulation.

[ottoman]

Lots of Doom and Gloom on CNBC lately (this morning it's basically Armaggedon )

It probably means we're close to a market bottom

[SSP]

lol

[ottoman]

Ha! yes, I thought it was a Gouda joke.

[SSP]

Laughed at how cheesy that is.

[ottoman]

I just heard a corny French joke. I thought of you lol. I'm sure you've heard it.

"Did you hear about the explosion at the French Cheese Factory?"

"There was nothing left but .....De Brie" 🧀

Thanks, Theo, could be my area (NY/NJ)…

[Theo]

Be nice if someone else would jump on and say they can't either otherwise, it sounds like it's at your end... although there was a spike this a.m. in trouble reports:

[DesertRat1]

ARVL, $0.87, is it dead?

For some reason can’t log in to Ameritrade but ToS works…

[Theo]

None (into my actual account). I haven't tried ThinkorSwim tho....

[jobynimble]

Any Ameritrade users having problems logging in?

[Rocketred]

ok will do

[Wayne R]

Looking like people that thought they knew something about crypto finally realized that they don't know shit about it.

I consider myself a somewhat intelligent guy and if I can't understand it after looking top down, sideways, cross ways and come up with NO IDEA WHY IT EXISTS, well, there's probably a reason why it shouldn't.

His problem is not a question of being employed, but being employed for years.

He bounces around from one project to the next, not because he didn't do the work, but because the project is finished and well, they don't know when they'll get another.

so he moves on. within days he's hired again.

He hate's it.

He wants something stable so he can put down roots.

Hey if you have any links to companies needing Industrial Designers, let me know.

His last project was supposed to be working on Nuclear submarines, he did absolutely nothing for 6 months but a good salary for doing nothing. He quit and was immediately hired by a subcontractor for the previous company. He has things to do, but not much and they deal ends in 3 months.

Honestly, I have no idea how anything actually gets done in France.

[ottoman]

use a VPN. and use a United States IP address. That might work.

ProtonVPN is free
https://protonvpn.com/free-vpn/

I did a search for best, FREE VPN service, and Proton was one of them.

you have to create an account, and install software, but hopefully it will allow you to use the IP addresses from the United States. The free version offers IP addresses in the Netherlands, Japan, and US

[Rocketred]

lots of jobs here

[Wayne R]

What's the job market and economy like in Canada right now?

My son is thinking about getting on a plane and heading to Canada to get a more stable job than he can get in France.

I'm not sure in the current climate such a thing exists, anywhere.

[Wayne R]

Cool, I can't see it, I'm an underprivileged Canadian living in France

[100lbStriper]

lol!! alls i can say is, yup, i've seen him before many times and never paid him no mind. thing is he's always spot on in whatever scene he's got. thx, that was cool....

[ottoman]

Fun documentary. About actor Dick Miller. Never heard of Dick Miller? lol. Well, you will certainly recognize him.

Appeared in so many movies beginning in the 50s. I remember him in so many bit roles in the 80s. In many Roger Corman movies.

You'll have to endure the commercial breaks in the video.

DISCOVERY FUND out of EUROPE just posted this on GOCO

Discovery Fund just bought 1.8 million shares last few trading days with Morgan Stanley


@discoveries After doing some more research on the GOCO discovery I dare to say the only thing missing in an Ovoid type chamber of massive sulphides ?? .. all the rest is looking fairly similar to the early Voisey Bay results. The only difference, GoMetals is finding mineralized zones over a 3x6 km area, while the initial prospective VB zones were much smaller. Even more impressive, almost ALL prospectives zones (conductors) have already been proven to be mineralized with sulphides, starting almost always from outcropping zones from surface. This is an incredible large and strong system imho. Assays will probably confirm the initial grab sample results, so up to 4% copper and 2% nickel. The initial VB grab results were up to 6% Cu and 3% Ni. Mineralisation at VB is connected to Pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite, all present in the $GOCO system as well. As said the only thing missing, is a massive sulphide core a la the Ovoid (the richest and most valuable part of course). However given the massive size and strength of this system it might be somewhere. It was found at VB only 1 year after the initial discovery. Still can’t believe the risk/reward situation here .. market cap this less then 20 mln. Remember VB was sold for almost $4 bln in 1996. In today’s money 10bln+. GoMetals has much more good infrastructure relatively nearby. Railway 50km away, while power is relatively nearby as well. Succes is NOT guaranteed, however this is the single most intriguing 2023 discovery in our portfolio. So, yes we are #long 3 from @discoveries, 23 minutes ago
