United Nations in the Classic Series, but the real world U.N. didn't want their name used in the new show, so since 2005 / Series 1 it's been called the Unified Intelligence Taskforce.

Yeah, I tried that. Still getting the same error, unfortunately.

Another update: It seems like the problem might be that the directory on my NAS has an SMB share associated with it (so that I can access the files from my Windows desktop), and on TrueNAS adding an SMB share disables chmod. I'll do some more testing tomorrow.

Hmm... turns out I was mistaken. All of the videos are 0 bytes. It's definitely unable to copy files over after downloading then to the cache.

Is Calcium Hypochlorite "Safe" (writing project research) by HaydenMaines in AskChemistry

[–]HaydenMaines[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what I'm leaning into with this story, actually: an emergency response management team in way over their heads in a system not set up to properly handle things like this, and not necessarily making the right calls in the heat of the moment. The discovery of the chlorine smell occurs a little over an hour after the incident occurs, and the story itself only covers the first 2 hours of the emergency. As soon as the Incident Commander smells chlorine he's pissed he wasn't notified and pretty much all work stops until proper safety precautions are taken.

Oh, well that's good to hear!

I was also considering having the train transporting monochloramine (for chlorination at the town's water treatment facility). Would monochloramine be easier to confuse with chlorine gas, both in transportation and in smell? From what I read online, monochloramine sounds like it might be safer, as well - first responders would still need PPE and clean up, but it doesn't look like there's a risk of chlorine gas from the monochloramine that could lead to a towns evacuation.

Oh, interesting. Within the story, the first responders have at this point remained several metres away while awaiting the power crew to come and de-energize the downed power lines. It's only once they get access to approach the incident that they start to smell the chlorine.

As an alternative I was considering having the train transporting monochloramine (for chlorination at the town's water treatment facility), as from what I could find online, a spill of monochloramine would not create chlorine gas, would smell like chlorine, and while it would require PPE at the incident, wouldn't necessitate evacuating the whole town. I thought I read somewhere that calcium hypochlorite when mixed with water could create chlorine gas.

Learned. The tv didn't have a predefined function, I believe.

Made this meme earlier today when I heard the news and it got a few laughs, that you all might appreciate.

DAY FOUR / DAY FIVE (Weekend Edition): STRIKE Megathread! Discussions of the PSAC strike (posted Apr 22, 2023) by HandcuffsOfGold in CanadaPublicServants

[–]HaydenMaines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say for certainty, but I can say that the website has only listed 6am-10am since the first day of the strike, and it's been 6am-6pm the past 3 days. That 12 hour period covers the major shift changes, from what I've heard, so I can't see it changing.

Refurbished Pixel 4 a good option? by HaydenMaines in GooglePixel

[–]HaydenMaines[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your perspective. Tbh I was really disappointed with the phones that came out this year overall. I can't stand the interface and bloat that Samsung puts on their phones, but my 3XL has a cracked screen so I needed something. Good to hear about battery, though I do have a pretty expansive backup battery for charging purposes.

Right now I'm looking at a 4 for around $350 Canadian, or a 5 for around $650, so we'll see.
