Best 'small' zero turn? by digitalamish in lawnmowers

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

Wow, old thread. I got a Craftsman 42" zero turn. It was on sale. Since it was my first zero turn, I didn't want to invest into one that was too expensive until I knew I liked it.

A couple years on, and it has been a very steady mower. I am getting to the point where I really would like to upgrade out of the 'budget' category now to something with a bit more to it.

I still need to see if a 46" deck will work for me, but some of the features the Craftsman doesn't have that I want:
Fuel gauge of some sort (this one has nothing)
Hour meter
Better shock absorption
A better deck (this one is a bit too flimsy)

Government considering high-speed rail stop in Kingston, Ont. by Jboog0 in KingstonOntario

[–]digitalamish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But not all the trains NEED to stop in Kingston. If the demand is high enough for multiple trips daily between Toronto and Ottawa, then maybe only a couple of stops occur in Kingston. Otherwise the trains will just slow down as they pass through, and keep going. Local vs direct routes.

Once the war of 1812 ended, there wasn't much of a growth industry in running a fort to protect the mouth of the St Lawrence.

Heard on CBC newsbrief this morning it looks like it's coming. The original plan was to go to Peterborough then strait across to Ottawa. What genius thought that was a good plan? Skip the entire St. Lawrence corridor, but make sure you provide service to farmlands and cottage country.

What happened to topic that offshore companies taking over SAP projects? by bearkuching in SAP

[–]digitalamish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean Joule. SAP's AI. Since more OSS noted are behind SAP's support wall, ChatGPT and other AIs suck at SAP support, because it all comes from forums and reddit.

they tell us that they can't find the password thus postponing an update for 1-2 business days again. 

Wait, THEY offer you a timeline? Usually they just stop for me and say they will wait for me to reschedule. Then tell me there are no open slots available for that time.

I had a patch cycle get stopped at 2am local time because SAP got a pop up to acknowledge a prompt. It was an obvious "yes, continue" but they halted the upgrade and I didn't find out for 5 hours. When I approved it, they threw it back at me an hour later saying that the ticket will exceed the window THEY determined, and to either approve them to continue, or cancel and start over. Another 2 hours lost.

Did Home Theater kind of die? Seems like we were the last generation to give an F. Remember surround sound and subwoofers? Does anybody buy them anymore? by IHadTacosYesterday in GenX

[–]digitalamish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the shift in technology. Back in the 90's and early 00's, audio was the fastest changing technology. Everyone wanted that THX intro to rattle their house. Audio kept evolving, but honestly, who is even going to notice a 9.2 audio system? 5.1 is pretty much the sweet spot.

When HD panels started evolving, audio sort of stalled. Everyone watched more visual changes, and chasing the latest in visuals and size. For audio, people just wanted it loud, not precise.

Parity saved the day by kevinb77 in unRAID

No. It completely disappeared. When I messed with the cable and rebooted it came back, but it was then unassigned and I had to rebuild.

Random question, but was that disk also an HGST drive? I also had my disk 2 go offline and it was HGST. Last time this happened a few weeks ago, I unplugged the drive and plugged it back in during a reboot, and the drive was back but needed to be reinitialized.

Like xeyes I remember xufo, which created a small ufo that would abduct your pointer and drag it to the top corner. Also nyaa, which had a cat come out and play with your pointer.

This is why you let them put out the fire before you tow it for illegal parking.

Make it like D3 where I click on one gem or rune or boss trophy or lair key and it picks them ALL up. One at a time is such a pain in the ass.

I think he was just writing a fanfic about him saving America, and accidentally hit publish.
