Who can recommend a car repairer to do some body work for me?

I want to get the small dings and scratches taken out of my car ready to sell and I was wondering if anyone out there had a recommendation for a repairer? I'm getting a quote from Cramp body works but I want to get at least two quotes.

IVF - we were there at the beginning

Remember when the first IVF baby was born and IVF seemed to be in the news every second night? The discussion of the day being thrown around was along the lines of how will these babies be treated? Will they be considered freaks? How will the kids feel growing up knowing they were born in a test tube? Isn't it funny how it's turned out? None of it matters and no one even knows which kids are IVF and which kids aren't.

Lenovo ideapad C340

Hi everyone, I've had my Lenovo IdeaPad for about 8 years and it has stopped working. I was watching something with a USB stick in it and the computer said low power so I went and got the power cord, plugged it in and then a couple of minutes later it went black. I assumed it was out of power so set it to charge it. Never charged - it never came back online. Tested with another charger and wouldn't charge.

There's no power going to it and no light at the power cord plug. I took it to be repaired and I'm told it is totalled and can't be repaired. But here's the thing. I'm also told that there is no way of retrieving anything from it. Something to do with the motherboard being fused with something else?

I find it hard to believe this is true.

Does anyone know firstly why a laptop would be working fine 1 minute and not working the next and also whether I should be able to retrieve things from it.

(There was no sign of a power surge while I was using the laptop. Although perhaps a power surge can happen without you knowing about it?

Secondly, I know what you're thinking and, I agree. The USB stick is the number one suspect. After all I was watching Catweasel and he is a wizard lol)

[AUST] interesting twist to the Just Answer Tech scam.

I seem to recall being a victim of the Just Answer Tech help scam where I took advantage (haha) free introductory offer and was then hit with a series of charges. I think this was somewhere between a year and a half and 2 years ago.

Yesterday a series of 3 $66 payments entered my account from Just Answer Tech as refunds. (No, I can't remember whether this was the amounts taken out but it sounds about right).

When frantically searching online for some answer to this strange occurrence, I believe I saw something about an investigation by the Australian securities Commission. Could it be that the law has caught up with Just Answer and they are making refunds to the people they have scamed? (Unfortunately I can't for the life of me re-find that reference).

Has anyone else experienced unexpected refunds from Just Answer?

My 90-year-old father got AI to fix up photo of his mother and her sister and this is the result.

Believe me, this was a very old, very grainy, black and white photo. Now look at it! my dear old dad is thrilled as you can imagine! I just thought with all the scary and bad things that AI is threatening a "good news story" might be welcome.

Neil the Seal

First I'm going to open with a side point. I wonder who named Neil the Seal? Anyone out there who wants to take the credit??

Now to get to the main point; why on earth is there a community group out there calling for "a non-lethal solution to Neil the Seal"? This very strongly suggests that there is someone out there calling for a LETHAL solution. Surely that couldn't possibly be true? Could it??

The Brooker Fountain Roundabout

What is your opinion? Can I turn right at the fountain roundabout straight onto Liverpool Street? Google maps and the internet in general, say yes, but the line markings on the street suggest no.

EDIT Sorry, should have said travelling from Glenorchy, arrive at the roundabout and want to turn right using the roundabout onto Liverpool Street.

Can't use mobile data iPhone with Telstra

I hope there is some help out there. My new work phone is an iPhone connected to the internet, however, I can't use the internet unless I'm using Wi-Fi. I can make calls and send messages and I cannot for the life of me work out what is wrong.

These are the things I have tried:

- Turning aeroplane mode on and off

- A complete reset

- Looking for a VPN to uninstall (but there wasn't one)

  • took out sim card and put back in

  • checked for iOS updates - said I was up-to-date

Yes I have mobile data on and Wi-Fi off. Not sure if I should have roaming data on or off but turning it on didn't make any difference.

I can say that it is connected to the Telstra network, but as I said no internet.

I have a about 300 rows of data in a spreadsheet, I want to select all the rows that contain a certain word and group them somehow or put them in a table.

When I control, select the rows manually and right click the option to create a table disappears.

There must be a way I can do this. Does anyone have any ideas?

For context, the list is property addresses and I want to group them by suburb.

SOLUTION FOUND

I clicked in cell 1A I clicked filter This produced a down arrow. I clicked the down arrow I chose text filter I chose contains I typed in the suburb name and clicked go.

This is all I did as a non-excel expert. I'm not sure what you're all banging on about.

There's something I'm absolutely dying to know from other Lupus* out there.

Both times I have been in major major flair I have felt kind of crap and struggling to drag myself around while the flare was mounting and then, after being treated aggressively with the medication, I became MUCH WORSE. I mean much worse. I go from still going to work, though feeling a bit crap and tired, to not being able to walk, barely able to look after myself, sometimes not even able to sit up in bed. Then months later, on the same levels of medication I become better.

The first time this confused the hell out of me. I assumed it must have been the medication because I was okay (ish) before the medication and absolutely terrible after I commenced the regime.

Then it happened a second time. I'm absolutely intrigued to know what goes on in the body. There seems to be something that happens with the high barrage of medication that makes the body completely Haywire.

And here's the kicker, as time passes, my medication has NOT DECREASED except for the prednisone. I'm still on exactly the same high doses of plaquenil and cell Cept but my health is pretty much back to where it used to be after 9 months.

This suggests it isn't the medication. Now I know I said the prednisone decreased however, when I'm well I can go on a high dose of prednisone, and yes, I won't sleep, but it doesn't incapacitate me in any the other way. Certainly not to the extent I need a wheelchair.

I probably need a scientist to answer what is going on in the body at a cellular level to cause this reaction.

It feels like when we try and turn the Queen Mary that is a Lupus flare, the body goes into a meltdown.
