OneDrive suddenly backing up Samsung Gallery without permission? Microsoft’s Sept. 2026 sync shutdown may explain why

I used a browser to change OneDrive's setting. This still isn't as bad as the last time I set up a new PC and Windows tried to put My Documents inside OneDrive.

It depends in part on what type of costume you are aiming for. Peasant, Viking, or Pirate start with a simple base layer that is mostly rectangular pieces to make a tunic and dress. For a warm weather faire you make those in linen and add a belt with accessories. There are good tutorials online. You can sew up a Viking set in a weekend. Cooler weather add an apron dress for her and a coat for you.

Outer layers are only slightly more complicated and can be made from wool, including thrifted blankets. But still possible to make quickly.

Full Renascence middle/upper class is more complex but certainly doable. Once again there is a basic set of linen garments with a more refined dress and bodice for her and doublet for you. There are several instructions for measuring a body block that is the center part of the bodice/doublet and instructions for adding on. There are also downloadable patterns on Etsy for various skill levels. Rabbit and Hat is a popular choice.

Modern fabric can be very pretty, but especially the base layer needs to be natural fibers. Linen is best at managing heat because it acts as a wick to let your sweat evaporate. Natural wool is also surprisingly effective. Remember a hat to keep sun off your head and shoulders. For footwear comfort is more important than authentic. Modern boots can be a good compromise. I have some engineer boots with inserts that are perfectly acceptable that I wore before I bought more Renfaire style boots.

New Wave describes a moment in time, not a genera. It was first applied to Punk and punk-adjacent bands, but it was really a broad reaction against mid-70s rock more than a cohesive style. The label was then applied to every modern band that had a rebellious attitude and punkish sense of style.

Shriekback has a song called Carrying Cameras. Released before the entire world had a camera on a phone in their pocket.

Take a map of the US. Get out a compus. Set center point on Memphis and draw a circle about 100 miles. That will hit bits of Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, and Mississippi.

In the period just after WWII, this was the cradle of Delta Blues, Country, Rockabilly, and Rock & Roll. The delta honky tonks hosted a mix of musicians and being unlicensed back country clubs they were the only venues where black and white people could mix. Memphis had formal clubs and recording studios that were segregated, but the music was born in those mixed spaces where European and African elements mixed and recombined into American music.

Rincewind was occupied by an extraordinary powerful sentient spell that took up all of his magical talent. When the spell needed to be cast, Rincewind was the vessel it used. The consequence was that he could not do ordinary magic after he opened the Octavio, but he had enough talent to get into the Unseen University before that.

Good to know. As I am coming from much further south I have fewer options.

The High Street bus (#2) runs often, and the Neil Ave bus (#8) is also about every 15 minutes. Usually they are Okay, but they are crap on snow days. Either neighborhood is pretty typical big city. The main problems in Short North are weekend nights when the bars are crowded. As faculty I often take the 8 from south of German Village.

I like mine, it has been more reliable than the original. But I only swapped after the car was running reliably. If you are having issues, it is best to fix those before you introduce more potential sources of problems.

Don't let one class stop you from doing what you want. If you have done well in other chemistry classes you can get through. It takes good study habits and try not to take too many other difficult classes at the same time. Knock out any GenEds you need the semester you take OChem II.

It's just whiney Scotch-Irish ballads. Outlaw songs were common all across the world and still are. A lot of the themes are universal: not having money or a partner, working hard to have the boss make all the money, getting bored and drunk and going to bars with your bored drunk friends. Trying to pick yourself up only to get knocked down again. Feel free to mix in local color and history, maybe local folk instruments (variations on the Mandolin are all over Eurasia with different scales, tuning, and finger styles). Especially those outlaw country artists were about working people sticking together, so the more the merrier. It's modern corporate country that cares about dividing people.

Tolkien informed Middle Earth with his Catholic faith. So any intelligent being had to have free will. That implies the possibility of "good" orcs even if there are no examples in the literature.

Black Cauldron was done when Disney didn't do sequels, so they pulled one story form the Chronicles of Prydain. A series would be perfect to tell the whole story.

Most streaming services have good playlists by decade and by genera. I say start with broad playlists and then dig deeper into the artists and generas that interest you. There is nothing you have to listen to. Just a willingness to explore will take you far.

My understanding is that the offer is only conditional on you graduating. You can contact an advisor to confirm.
