I found this link. It says that even though TM deletes old backups, you might run out of space on the drive.

I too thought I would never run out, but be asked that I might have to delete some information from older backups.

Are you sure the message is just not telling you that it has run out of space and thus will be deleting older information? I have gotten the message I just described, and it scares you/me.

If indeed for some reason you can't get TM to work on this drive: You could re-format the drive and start all over with a new, first time, backup (which will take quite some time). Another suggestion is to get a new drive and make a new backup. Eventually the first drive will die, at least this way you start its replacement before the old one dies.

Not sure who they are asking or if the poll is being manipulated, but I really can't see the majority of Americans wanting this. I lived recently in a retirement community, so boomers and older. And they all use and love the internet and cell phones. And everyone younger I run across uses a cell phone (and a computer both with internet).

What is the "moon flip"?

I also moved out of the US, and the products I do remember are not sold here. I even went to several stain suppliers and they had not even heard of things like a pre-stain conditioner, or generic "sealer". I am making do, but wish he had just been more specific like "use a polyurethane finish diluted to seal the unstained inside components".

Compared to current YT videos for woodworking they don't have a list of all the things used in the video. It would be helpful for my build since Norm does not specify which "sealant" he is using to coat the unstained parts, nor which stain conditioner to prevent blotching. But I got into woodworking with this series and I made several items.

Dresser for my daughter. Fashioned after Norm Abrams' dresser from The New Yankee Workshop in the 1990's. I made one for myself back then and now making one for her and her family.

For the gondolier to put his back foot upon when he has to row hard. Gives him more leverage on the oar. I think.

I am a newbie. Same was happening to me on Firefox. Then I switched to Safari and that seems to remember my log in and lets me in. I am wondering if it is a browser issue (I have ad block on Firefox running).
