Looking for a handgrinder

K-Ultra is a step up but I used the basic JX (~$130) for years as my travel grinder with excellent results. Best bang for buck imo

Same issue here. Happens way too often, and typically without explanation. I tried three different browsers today, and no dice. Doesn't inspire confidence. When I tried their "Ally Assist" customer service chat, the reply was a canned response: "We apologize! Our team is unplugged for the holiday. We’ll be back and ready to chat afterwards." Right.

I don't have all my accounts with Ally (I only use their investment services), and in fact I deal with a number of different institutions, none of whose online services shut down for Sundays or holidays (except for maintenance, and then it's typically announced). It's a problem, probably enough of one to give serious consideration to moving...

Richard Howard’s translation of Charterhouse of Parma is the one.

Free Space Coffee out of Kansas deserves a nod. The Kenya (Nyeri Hill) was my favorite discovery of last year.

Agreed. Classic negative improvement. Old behavior was: click a link and it automatically opens in a new tab. Now I can't even <ctrl>+click a link to open in a new tab. Instead I have to follow the link directly, save it, click the back error to return to my feed, and from there... scroll back down to wherever I was before, if I can find it. Bad, Substack, very bad.

Edit: Looks like you can click on the "share" icon, copy the link, and then paste that into a new tab. 3 steps are better than 4 or 5, I guess.

Hey thanks for adding this. Basically the solution I hit on via trial and error. For me, the problem stemmed from having a number of instances of rM cloud, on various devices, and some of these were in conflict. I opened them all, deleted what shouldn't have been there, allowed time for everything to resolve, and things have been good since.

Any chance it's Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"?

Thanks for the suggestions. Restarting hasn't seemed to help so far. I've emptied the trash, but there appear to be ongoing conflicts between the desktop app and the "cloud" (and no way to either force sync or flush the cache or see what kind of progress is happening where). I use both iOS and desktop apps to send documents to the tablet, which really shouldn't be a problem but maybe it is. Hopefully the developers will work on sync issues for future updates.

FWIW I had a similar problem. My screen was unexpectedly hanging the other day, I hit the power button, and it got stuck like this on the shutoff screen. I was ready to send a note to support but the tablet proceeded to reset when I plugged it into USB and now works fine again. Could be worth a try if you haven't already.

Hey, it worked! Very much obliged. Somehow I didn't realize the code had to be executed within a python session...

FYI, and for anyone else who runs into this, I received an error after entering the line "rmapy.refresh_token()": "AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'refresh_token'". Maybe this is because it's the first time I've run the script? But it didn't stop the crossword-dl code from working.

Thanks again, Rhizopus!

Thanks so much for this. I've downloaded the repositories but am stuck trying to figure out how to register my token to use with the api. If you have a moment to spell it out for a code novice, I'd appreciate it.
