Battery not charging….

  • I had this issue with a laptop recently. It would run on the battery charge and refused to use power from the adapter. I don't know if your problem has the same cause as mine, but it can't hurt to try: 
     
    Look into the system tray on the lower right corner of the screen, there should be either be a battery or a power plug icon there. Right-click on those and see if you are offered an option to charge the battery, or to switch to an external power source, i.e. power via the adapter. In the latter case, the laptop should run from there and the battery charge (provided it really is the same problem as mine).
  • The Israeli Response to the 1972 Munich Olympic Massacre

    I couldn't agree more, Eric; the Trail of Tears is what those pesky Indians needed: 
     
    Hollywood has left the impression that the great Indian wars came in the Old West during the late 1800's, a period that many think of simplistically as the "cowboy and Indian" days. But in fact that was a "mopping up" effort. By that time the Indians were nearly finished, their subjugation complete, their numbers decimated. The killing, enslavement, and land theft had begun with the arrival of the Europeans. But it may have reached its nadir when it became federal policy under President (Andrew) Jackson. 
     
    ... 
     
    men, women, and children were taken from their land, herded into makeshift forts with minimal facilities and food, then forced to march a thousand miles(Some made part of the trip by boat in equally horrible conditions). Under the generally indifferent army commanders, human losses for the first groups of Cherokee removed were extremely high.  
     
    As to 'appeasement': Europe simply wasn't prepared for such a terorist attack, but the German reaction to the Munich massacre was the GSG 9 group, which in 1977 took out Palestinian terrorists who had hijacked a Lufthansa plane.  
     
    Details here: 
     
    At 0207 precisely the emergency doors over the aircraft wings were blown 
    open and members of the rescue party tossed in some "stun grenades." The men 
    of GSG 9, with two British SAS men lent by the British government, had 
    reached the aircraft and climbed onto the wings completely undetected; the 
    hijackers (and the hostages) were taken by surprise. 
     
    The men of GSG 9 rushed into the aircraft shouting to the hostages to keep 
    down on the floor, and opened fire on the hijackers. "Mahmoud" was fatally 
    wounded in the first few seconds, but managed to throw two hand-grenades 
    before he died; fortunately, their effects were cushioned because they 
    rolled beneath seats. One of the women terrorists died also and the second 
    man was wounded inside the aircraft but died outside in a few minutes later. 
    The second woman, Suhaila Sayeh, was wounded but did not die. Meanwhile, the 
    passengers were herded off the aircraft through the doors and emergency 
    exits; three hostages had been wounded, but none was killed. 
     
    The operations ended at 0212 hours and was entirely successful. GSG 9 had 
    proved itself and the men received a well-merited heroes' welcome when they 
    returned to Germany.
  • Slavs the true “Aryans”? Holy untermensch!

  • The Germanic tribes are Indo-European and migrated into Europe from the East, so it's kind of self-evident that Germans aren't that close to pre-Indo-European stock.
