I was wondering the same.

 

It's been mild but Winter is finally here in the Northeast and snow is coming.

What rides are you planning?

 

All BMW motorcycle dealer sales stopped except for their EV:

Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to material specifications. As a result, BMW of North America is issuing a temporary, voluntary stop sale for all new and pre-owned BMW motorcycle models in dealer inventory, except for the CE 04.

I just read the specs and there is an SD slot.

Weather is promising around here. Hopefully it's good near you.

What rides are you planning?

DE:MD was great, I really hoped for them to finish the story. With all the horse-trading of the companies and IP, who knows if we'll ever see one.

I had no idea. I'm still on 7.0.x, I didn't even realize they were sold. It only has permissions for media and files.

My OnePlus 6t swelled and split in a year. OnePlus said it was unrepairable (it still worked) and offered me $50 toward an upgrade.

Replaced it with a Pixel.

No festival at Windham this fall due to new ownership and on-going construction.

First was a Novation CAT 110/300 baud with acoustic coupler. Later I got a Practical Peripherals 1200, then a Zoom Telephonics 2400/9600. Then I bought a US Robotics Courier HST, it cost a ridiculous amount at the time. A few years later was working and I mailed it and an actual check to USR and they swapped it for a Courier vEverything (with the 20Mhz DSP). I still have that modem and a newer vEverything I salvaged.

OK
*NO CARRIER*

I don't back up anything I can rebuild. I have multiple half-assed methods in use together for the rest of it:

  • Backups daily of homedirs on desktops and laptops using Borg and Vorta to external usb drives. These devices get rotated out annually. I used to run 2-disk RAID1 and when I rotated the disks out, split them and sent them to family but now I'm taking my chances on having them local and putting them in a fireproof box.
  • Code repos are synced to github or srht.
  • Monthly backups of homedirs are sent via borg to rsync.net.
  • Desktop and laptop homedirs get periodic (roughly monthly) burns to Dual-Layer BDRs which I put in the fireproof box and sometimes hand off to family.

The city will get a $21.7 million federal grant to revitalize its downtown waterfront and protect it from flooding related to climate change, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer’s office announced Thursday. The grant is the largest in Kingston’s history, according to Mayor Steve Noble.

This was a while ago so it's possible their quality control has improved over the years, but I had two Matias TactilePro keyboards fail: the first developed keybounce/chatter after a few months, the replacement developed it after a few weeks then had keys fail. They gave me some mild run around the second time and I just wrote it off rather than deal with them.

I have a number of other keyboards, including Unicomp, and only Matias and a Filco Majestouch gave me problems and the Filco went several years of daily use before needing a key switch to be replaced.

As someone who has played thousands of games of Shattered with >600 games just on my most recent phone (108 of those ascended) and has ascended with all the sub-classes... git gu... no, no, no, ask questions. Some of the mechanics are kind of subtle and exploiting them can take thought. I personally find the Huntress/Warden the easiest (because the spirit bow has unlimited ammo letting you sell off thrown weapons and the free seeds and dew drops can keep you alive).

 

It's the annual Ride to Work day. Anyone planning to ride on Monday?

That's a name I haven't seen in a long time...

(I'm also from the days of bang paths)
