Because two syllables good, four syllables bad?

they'd likely be unrelated to any changes in vaccine disinformation

Not necessarily true. If they were vulnerable adults for whom the vaccination had little/no effect or who were immunosuppressed, for whatever reason, herd immunity amongst the younger population would have protected them. Now it doesn't, thanks to the anti-vaxxer in chief.

Some console cupboards (wtf are they actually called?) are connected to the car AC... The opposite problem also exists!

I see the face.

The condition (in my case) doesn't prevent me from seeing a face in tea leaves (or whatever) but it does prevent me from recognising a face. Even faces that I am very familiar with can be problematic.

3 syncs? Sun Microsystems trainers told me 2!

It works fine for me - it has a bonus side effect - I don't get itchy insect bites; I don't even notice I have been bitten unless I look.

Loratadine doesn't work much and traditional antihistamine is a no no because of sleepy.

The latest all singing anti-histamine that is expensive and just been removed from "prescription only" status here in the UK doesn't work as well for me as cetirizine.

Holy thread ressurection batman but anyway...

On holidays in the south of France, found 100% robusta in the supermarket. What a revelation.

It seems to be less popular down here than it might be (often on special offer in the supermarkets and a bit cheaper than arabica) but I am happy to drink it (we have a few bricks stashed away for taking home as I don't recall seeing it readily available in the UK)

It's a very forgiving brew, great aroma and flavour, just don't expect arabica!

I wish you were here so I could meddle with those knives.

The DLR is fully automated, though there is a fold away drivers position for use when necessary. iirc It never runs at street grade and sometimes does have software issues which makes things interesting.

I am pretty sure the victoria line has drivers for show. It was one of the very first lines to be automated and, at the time, it was thought that passengers would panic if there were no driver, so they kept with tradition.

It's yummy. I preferred the old label though (the grey one).

Point of order - the electrical grid can be really handy as a navigation aid when walking; it rarely changes (though, perhaps sadly, some long established routes are being buried here in the UK) and is fairly/very visible. Whilst the power line running down your street might not help, the line of towers across the local hillside might be the difference between wandering lost for hours and a fast route out. Map the heck out of it.

Yeh the F quickly forms a stable compound with whatever it can because it is really keen to donate it's electron. Cl sort of bimbles about, breaking up ozone left right and centre, lending it's electron the going "ah no I think I want that back, ta" then eventually finds something with which to bond.

 

Guys

Voyager native app on Android.

Anyone else got an issue when scrolling through a thread the rendering flicks all over the place?

It's random and I can't think of a way to screenshot it. It's like the replies get drawn in one position then jump to where they should be. Sometimes, if I catch it right, sliding up and down with my finger flashes the post/comment on and off...

Like I say, hard to describe properly.

Guys

Dunno if I am missing something, but I notice that many times a post is cross posted to many communities, resulting in the All feed being full (well not really full but you know what I mean) of what are, effectively, reposts...

Does voyager have a "hide posts with the same title in different communities" setting somewhere or is that a feature request?

 

Guys

We have an XYZ DaVinci 1.0 Pro, connected by USB to a Windows 10 PC (latest updates etc.)

The drivers are all correctly installed (both cameras show up in device manager, the printer shows up in device manager as both a printer and a USB-COM3 device).

The printer has Firmware 1.2.3 installed (as recommended by XYZ.... not sure if that's a good thing)

  • XYZ Printing does not detect the printer as online;
  • Cura does not detect the printer as online;
  • Pronterface does not detect the printer as online;
  • In a massive turn-up for the books.... Microsoft 3d Builder does see the printer on line and will start a print.

In device manager the com port seems to be set at 9600,8,n,1. Changing this to (say) 115200 breaks printing in 3d Builder. Changing Pronterface to use 9600 baud makes no difference to connecting to the printer.

I have changed the USB lead, tried different ports on the PC yadda yadda yadda but no change at all - only Microsoft 3d Builder will see the printer online and print.

Anyone got any idea at all why everything except Microsoft 3d Builder can't see the printer?
