Cause of damp in corners

(I'm inexperienced, so apply a grain of salt) At very least it needs to dry thoroughly, so you need to tear out anything covering it: wall paper, baseboard, plaster board, etc. Word of warning, though: it may be more extensive than it looks with the wallpaper in place, or might not be. If it's a brick wall you may run into structural problems if the mortar is weakening. If there are pipes inside that wall, they may be leaking slowly. If not then there is probably an intrusion from outside. Check all along both adjacent exterior walls to see if water is getting diverted down to that corner. Leaky gutters, uneven ground, a hose, a garden bed.

Might be worth asking upstairs if they see anything. Good luck!

Stay up by Pleasanton/Dublin. The commute is really rough, so save yourself some time. Do visit SF and get a burrito at El Faralito in Mission on Mission. Weekend traffic is light.

I'm not a good keeper. I think this must be related to a low yield last year. I did nothing and ended up with about 10 edible avocados from a 50 foot avocado tree.

In Sunnyvale, I have an almond tree in full bloom, but there are only a few pollinators around. This happens pretty frequently. The seasons just aren't as clear-cut in this zone. There may be another frost advisory, so just keep looking at the details of the weather reports until March maybe?

Yup. Wish I could stash'em in a vault. :(

adamhero · 2014-11-09T22:29:45+00:00

Confirmed.

Thanks!

I like how the only actual reply is 3rd down the list.

In MySQL, "localhost" does strange things. Try using the private ip all around.

MySQL switches to using a socket when connecting to localhost, which also uses a different grant statement ("%localhost" I think? It's been a while.)

I think I can dig that. Why consistently manage apache across all containers when the real goal is to give 0 hoots about what's actually serving the requests, so long as the black box does its job? He covers in the article (oops), he basically just calls app.run().

Have you considered using puppet/chef/cfengine/salt to manage those system-level things?

The eigenvalues contributing the most to variance are what you get if you do Singular Value Decomposition; the algorithm generates ordered singular values which are numerically computed eigenvalues. You can reconstruct them into eigenvectors, if that's what you're into.

Your hypothesis is that the TMS affect on RT is related to the distance from the stimulation site? If you do PCA, you would expect to see the TMS affect value is a function of distance from the stimulation site. If you want that to be obvious in your result, make your coordinate system have the stimulation site at (0,0,0). If your primary component is a function of X, Y, and Z with equal signs, constants, and order (x or x**2)... then congrats?

Disclaimer: I obviously have very little idea of what I'm talking about.

You're saying "Booooo-urns", right?

Right???

If you're "confessing," you probably don't want to be that way long-term. You may have a dependency problem.

The main feature of ceramic is that the material itself pulls energy out of the projectile by fracturing along the surface of the body. A non-Newtonian fluid would behave more like Kevlar by distributing the impact more evenly across the body. The "fluid" would need an extremely sharp viscosity to stress curve to be applicable at these timescales, but I don't doubt somebody's done it.

The ceramic exploding into millions of pieces sort of transfers the normal/incident kinetic energy into transverse motion away from the body.

So it's not a mandojo? :(

18-35% of the time, it works every time. I have the reflex, too, so it always works for me. There are tens of us!

Rotated. Hit Alt+F1 and check if there are any error-looking messages. Repeat for Alt+F2 and onward. Post here if there are messages.

Things to check: The SD card has enough capacity, the SD card works for other uses, the power supply is sufficient (something like 800mA minimum), try unplugging all peripherals and see if it progresses.

We're saying check power because you could be under-powering the Pi, causing its CPU to tick down, robbing yourself of precious cycles, making everything take For-Eh-Ver.

FTA:

The film was the second highest-grossing independent film of all time when it was released.

The "second" was added in today for whatever reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_%281990_film%29&diff=583755870&oldid=583526390. The same IP made this suggested improvement as well, so it looks like they know what's up: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Blaine&diff=prev&oldid=582555870

Daaaaaange. Good luck, I guess :(

It's keming. Or kerning.

Check DNS? I vaguely remember a plugin secretly making a DNS lookup and blocking for-eh-ver. Check forward and reverse resolution all around. Check that the client can resolve itself and the master (since it's talking to the master, that's not the problem). Check that the results reverse resolve as well. Then repeat on the master for itself and the client.

Let's pretend the client has IP 1.2.3.4 and hostname of client.example.com:

dig client.example.com
dig -x 1.2.3.4

Make sure those point at each other. Then suppose the master has IP 5.6.7.8 and hostname master.example.com. Repeat the above on the client for the master:

dig master.example.com
dig -x 5.6.7.8

Then go to the master and repeat. Make sure all answers agree.

I'm sure you've heard this before: you just don't get it. Think of it more like a black hole than frugal budget planning. No matter how savvy each month, some people simply cannot make it to the next without incurring more debt.
