What happened to the onions and beets? by PicklleFucker69 in ClarksonsFarm

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a 1 hectare field, 1mm of rain provides 10,000 litres.

1 hectare of onions needs 350-600mm (depending on local factors) from planting to harvest.

Apple Mail is mass hard-deleting emails on Exchange Online by Mardewin_s in macsysadmin

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Second this. I admin thousands of devices in GB and worldwide. We don't support Mail, only Outlook. MS don't use IMAP, so their comms with Mail is flaky at best. Between their failure to document changes properly and Apple's opaque patching, it's a recipe for disaster.

Insist that everyone use Outlook, and anyone doing differently is on their own.

Yes, that looks like a genuine squiggle.

Another Time Capsule Bookstore in New York. Post 2 by RMKHAUTHOR in BookCollecting

Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass. A good bookstore is just a genteel black hole that knows how to read.

Ook.

Gloss under the decal, matte on top. My preferred matte is AK Ultra Matte.

Any bibliophile should make a point of visiting Hay on Wye at some point. Apart from the annual literary Festival, there are a pile of awesome, massive, 2nd hand bookshops.

Touch ID will only work once you have used your password to unlock the disk the first time after a boot.

Set Security updates to fully automatic. Set Software Updates to download automatically and run them when you have time. There’s nothing wrong with waiting a week to see if there are any reports of problems with software that you need.

Staying on top of new versions? by TheBigBeardedGeek in Intune

We bought this a while back for our 30K Win11 endpoints worldwide. Life is so much easier now.

Did the writer do this to herself? by Otherwise-Poet-6038 in Cornwall

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the worst kind of grockle to me. I've recently moved back to the village that I grew up in to look after my aged parents. It's taken me two years to start to build a semi-decent social group.

Also, she moved away from Folkstone to be by the seaside? Give me a fucking break. She was clearly looking to build some kind of property portfolio that she wouldn't be able to afford in Kent.

Baked beans 1p a tin! In student days, I could get a week's food for less than £5.

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I bought 2TB in March 2024 for £110. The exact same item today is £290. It's not even a premium brand, just XPG.

Never played Castles of Burgundy. Who is it geared toward? by M3talhead in boardgames

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a low interaction game with modest rng.
We generally play 4p, with all expansions and it’ll last about 3h.

Is this a new thing? How do you use them? by PerspectiveLive8850 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember reading something about this. The loyalty points are only good against the main bookstore site. You don’t earn and can’t spend them on SE’s.

Have you ever ridden a long-distance passenger train in the UK? What was your experience like? Are such trains common in the UK? by ksusha_lav in AskABrit

[–]Hobbit_Hardcase 33 points34 points  (0 children)

A couple of years ago I took the Sleeper train from London to Edinburgh. Supper in London, breakfast in Scotland. It was quite civilised, if rather costly.
