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.

Yes - Chlorine ions don't just react with methane, they try to react with everything, including ozone... There used to be a big problem with a lack of ozone due to the use of CFCs in aerosols.

The trouble with Nvidia cards and Linux is that Nvidia decides to stop supplying the BLOB drivers at, seemingly, random. Obviously once that happens any hope of distros supporting that card with an Nvidia driver vanishes fairly rapidly. You may find the non-Nvidia driver works well enough, you may not.

Fundamentally it's an NV problem, not a Linux one - I got caught out many moons ago with a truly ancient Quadro card.

You could argue that a distro should check your driver and refuse to install/update if it's not going to be supported but that isn't going to happen soon, or ever, because it's not a distro problem it's an NV one...

Never heard of it. Lived in England/Wales for 59 years... Will ask wife, who was a chef.

Ok. So now I know it's what is used in steak sandwiches.

I have never heard or read its name before - mostly because it is sold in places I don't frequent (or by food wholesalers) but also because I don't often have steak sandwiches.

Every day is a school day I guess.

Close...

The original "This day is good in order to die" is better though in context - the present is a Bat'leth pizza knife so addressing the pizza such is both a statement of intent (killing the pizza) but also I n the Klingon historical context the beginning of a mating ritual!

Thank you so much for the inspiration.

If he does it won't make much difference to traffic flow - it's usually at a standstill!

I am too. I have a birthday present that needs a Klingon message...

Because the Vikings settled and formed The Russians around Ukraine, from where they spread and eventually formed Russia.

What a small volume... Should have stuck to English measures when you escaped back along 🤣

68ml short of a Pint in my book. Dunno where they got the idea that 500ml is 1.09 pints

 

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?
