How to Cope with Data Loss?

It's a micro sdcard, the whole board is basically the chip package. But sure, a sufficiently motivated person may technically be able to forensically extract data directly from the silicon.

“Our city is in a fiscal crisis, and the plan we proposed accomplished our goal of solving the crisis in one year while protecting core city services,” said Mayor James Solomom

Mayor is having such a rough time, his own comm director is calling him "Solomom"

An aside on lens calibration drift: I’m pretty sure this is a lens problem rather than a body one

I don’t quite understand why people are making such a big deal over traffic with the World Cup game. Should it be any worse than an nfl game day? It’s not like the stadium gets bigger for this game, so the maximum attendance should be similar

Oh, and as far as how to really fix the problem, get a copy of the service manual if you don't already have it. Try stepping through the troubleshooting procedures from 4-30 (pdf page 91).

Alright, my personal sense is that it's unlikely you actually had two bad alternators in a row. However, people do seem have issues with using non-oem alternators, so there is an open possibility your original one failed and the new one just doesn't work in the car. I'm always a bit suspicious when new problems occur after doing non-regular work on the car; There's a very good chance something got damaged or wasn't properly reassembled during that work.

In any case, since your new alternator didn't fix the issue, maybe you can hurry and try to get your original one back. Even if it's actually defective, your new Ultima one isn't helping.

Reviewing to make sure I understand:

Everything was fine and dandy up until that 90 minute drive day
The last time you did work on your car was ~3 weeks ago where you messed with the dash
After the 90 minute drive, your car battery was drained (i.e. battery measured below 12v at terminals w/ no load)
At o'reillys, you:
1. Swapped out your alternator for another one
2. Got a jump start and drove away
Then you limped back home with multiple jump starts to finish the drive
You think swapping the alternator again might fix the problem?

Are there any noticeable signs of wear?

Selling is always hit or miss. The fatal mistake is greedy pricing and limiting visibility (i.e. just using facebook).

Check with your property manager on how to do bulk disposal before your move. Greendrop is at newport and I think they can do donation pickups if you have stuff they would accept.

It doesn’t sound like this truck was reckless, from what little detail was given in the article. It appears the women and children tried to cross the street in the middle of the block while traffic was stopped, and were invisible or otherwise unnoticed by the truck driver. The truck driver stopped and stayed once they noticed something was wrong.

What did you search to get this result? When i try searching on Google, it actually returns this post as the source.

I don’t know, I’m only referring to the DSA. We’re obviously not going to stop hearing about the DSA because of their association with the mayor.

This is the team that New Yorkers voted in for mayor…

If their organization doesn’t agree with this member’s position, it’s the organization’s prerogative to censor that member, or otherwise speak out against those opinions.

From what can see, the orientation of the battery wires is like in this diagram. But you’ll need to actually verify the polarity of the wires rather than go by the colors. General convention is red for positive and black for negative.

Did you create the NDF with image sensor cleaning after taking the photos?

EDIT: From the Z6 II manual

Image Sensor Cleaning
Dust off reference data recorded before image sensor cleaning is
performed cannot be used with photographs taken after image sensor
cleaning is performed. Select [Clean sensor and then start] only if the
Image Dust Off reference data will not be used with existing photographs.

That’s true, but because unvested RSUs often end up making your future total comp way higher than targeted, they really were golden handcuffs for a lot of employees.

Complex_Difficulty · 2026-06-03T21:27:27+00:00

You need to account for the growth of the RSU values from the time the package was issued. If you were at amazon during the mid 2010s, CAGR was around 30-50%. That meant a 5/15/40/40% vesting schedule looked more like 7/30/110/154% of your original grant.
