I had the opportunity to have both whattaburger and in n out the same week during a trip to Arizona.

Whattaburger is so whunderwhelming. My memory of it is that it’s like a big ass frozen patty on a mediocre bun.

In n out had flavor combos popping in my mouth.

It’s a no brainer, to me. My partner used to die on the whattaburger hill, but changed her tune after that trip.

Well that was fun

My experience with Airplaying to a Roku-based TV is that it isn’t as smooth. E.g., screen mirroring a Mac had noticeable mouse lag, whereas it was pretty buttery smooth with an AppleTV.

Maybe newer Rokus have addressed that problem, though.

Folks in want of an AirPlay receiver, perhaps?

I’m implying it’s a more accurate comparison, or at least one worth making.

Try non-dairy yogurt, and report back.

Reminds me of the headline regarding Russia fining Google $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 or whatever crazy amount.

Shitty dictators think alike 💡

Aspen Dental. Never, ever sit in one of their chairs. If they don’t try to take your teeth, they will fleece you in other ways.

I’m not an expert, so take this as far as you’d like — reading has real benefits to our brains such as improving vocabulary, improving critical thinking skills, and improving focus. I don’t think short form videos give us the same brain benefits.

Here’s an article from Piedmont health on the benefits of reading. I haven’t seen such an article for short form videos, but am open to it if there is one.

On the other hand, the older I get, the more excited I am to greet the next day.

I also enjoy an earlier bed time than I used to, usually.

I have one that does this, too.

It usually doesn’t last super long; I get too hot with him near my chest, and he gets antsy if I’m not perfectly still. 🤷‍♂️

Ah damn, and it looks like almonds are grown mostly in California. Adding insult to injury.

California-grown almonds account for 80 per cent of the world’s commercial almond production.

Just popped in to say that I miss Memmy. I switch between Voyager and Thunder these days.

They are ok.

Yet I’m still back here, on this community, telling y’all my opinion on it.

 

Either I’m nuts (possible) or Plex’s shuffle functionality does a poor job randomizing from the set. What’s your take?

I’ve been trying to figure out if it is just my perception or potential bias since our memories are fallible and whatnot.

It seems like TV show > Shuffle and Playlist (containing all episodes) > Shuffle yield different favored episodes (so maybe a different shuffle algo). And then when I play in episodic order, I recognize episodes that seemingly haven’t played in a while.

I suppose I could pull play counts off my server, but that’s no fun! Sooooo, is it just me?

I’m new to the Unraid scene, after putting off doing something other than Windows-based serving and sharing for about.. oh, about 14 years. By “new to the scene”, I mean: “Trial expires in 28 days 22 hours 6 minutes” :-)

Anywho, I ran into an issue with a disabled drive. The solution was to rebuild it. I solved it thanks to a post by u/Medical_Shame4079, on Reddit.

That made me think about the whole “losing stuff on Reddit” maybe problem of the future. While this post isn’t much, maybe it will be helpful to someone else, sometime else.

The issue? A drive ha a status of disabled, and it has a message of “device is disabled contents emulated unraid.”

The fix:

Stop the array, unassign the disk, start the array in maintenance mode, stop it again, reassign the drive to the same slot. The idea is to start the array temporarily with the drive “missing” so it changes from “disabled” to “emulated” status, then to stop it and “replace” the drive to get it back to “active” status.

Looking forward to more time with Unraid. It’s been easy to pick up so far.

 

The wedding was ok, but the reception was great!!
