Never heard of him.

He played the character Joey Tribbiani in the sitcom Friends. He has also starred as a fictionalized version of himself in Episodes (2011–2017), for which he won a Golden Globe Award and received four additional Emmy Award nominations. He co-hosted Top Gear from 2016 to 2019. From 2016 to 2020, he played patriarch Adam Burns in the CBS sitcom Man with a Plan.

Further to the above, to choose the shaded photos, I click on the first, hold Shift and click the last. If I wanted 1,2,4 and 5, I could do that, then hold Ctrl and click 3. That would remove it from the bulk open. Now that does not work.

I don't know if it is a recent Windows update change or not, but my Ctrl key seems to have lost some of it's functions. 

I used to be able to press Ctrl and + or - to increase or decrease the page zoom (eg. 75% - 125%). Now I have to click on the 3 lines under the close window X for a dropdown menu.

Also, when choosing files to add, in the "Open" window, I can select files listed together by clicking the first, then holding down Shift, clicking the last file. To select random files, I could click the first, hold down Ctrl and individually click the others (eg. 1,4,5,7 etc.) This no longer works. I have to upload them one at a time. Any ideas?

Right again, Onetrack.

Some scams are hard to pick because they mimic the real organisations logos etc very well.

However, when you place your cursor over the link, the url is definitely not the genuine article.

The worst one I have seen was shown on Facebook. Unfortunately I didn't take a screenshot so cannot post it. The Twitter account name was something like Ranjit, and the message was basically

"I am IRS. You owe (amount had been blacked out). Pay by Walmart gift card or you will go jail."

Spacey, I don't know anyone who speaks Esparanto.

And why should I have to learn another language in my own country. English pronunciation and comprehension should be mandatory for immigrants. 

a. Would Koreans learn to speak English to accomodate you in their country?

b. How do these immigrants who haven't learnt the language understand signs, such as warning signs?

A wealthy old man was lying on his deathbed, when it occurred to him he had never made a will,
so he called his lawyer to help him make his will.
The following day his lawyer came, and the wealthy man said,
“I want 25% of my money to go to charity. After all, I’ve taken, I should give something back.”
“How generous of you,” the lawyer responded.
“I’ll make sure it happens right away.”
“I also want 25% of it to go to my son. He’s been counting the days till he could get my money,” the old man said.
“Okay, I’ll make sure he receives 25% of it,” the lawyer replied.
“I want the rest to go to my wife, on condition that she remarries after I die,” the old man said.
“Okay, I’ll ensure that that happens, but may I ask why you want her to remarry? It’s a quite obscure request,” the lawyer asked.
“I want to make sure at least one man regrets my death,” the old man said…

A professor travels to Africa to live with a primitive tribe:
He spends years with them, teaching them all about the wonders of science, mathematics, and formatting Reddit comments so they get the most upvotes.
One day, the Chief’s wife gives birth to a white child!
The word spreads, and the entire tribe is in shock.
The chief pulls the professor aside and says.
“Look, you’re the only white man we’ve ever seen around here, and this woman just gave birth to a white child. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happened!”
The professor replied.
“No, Chief. You’re mistaken. What you have here is a natural occurrence, what we in the civilized world call an albino! Look at that field over there. All of the sheep are white except for one black one. Nature does this on occasion.”
The chief was silent for a moment, then said.
“Tell you what. You don’t say anything more about that sheep and I won’t say anything more about that white child.”

The great orange one is now calling for the scrapping of the constitution so he can be returned to his "rightful" place in the White House. Nuthouse more like. You know - the constitution he swore to defend on Jan 6. People are now saying, scrap the constitution, you scrap the second amendment. Look out, the Republicans are coming for your guns!
