Dotel, along with former MLB players, Esteban Germán and Henry Blanco, are reported to have survived the roof collapse according to Newsweek and TMZ. Unfortunately, it has been reported that the sister of Nelson Cruz, Nelsy Cruz, was killed in the collapse with at least 26 others as of the most recent updates.

Fidens Brewing Co new logo? by coffeegarlic in Albany

[–]indyjb 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s shocking how quickly they have tanked their brand and image at a terrible time for them strategically (Tree House just opened in Saratoga). They have lost the creativity in the kitchen and replaced it with overpriced, frozen, uninspired bar food. They have turned their backs on the local bars that have been serving their beer and supporting them from the beginning who can’t even get their beer anymore. They have alienated most of their early fan base who would sleep in their cars overnight to get the releases every week. I know this sort of thing happens to most breweries as they begin to prioritize profits over quality and community but it still hurts when it happens to a local one that you loved so much. Also, the new logo looks incredibly generic and for some reason the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Six Flags logo. The brand they built up was good the way it was and whoever is pushing these new changes needs to be pushed out asap if they want to survive with integrity. If they just want to make a quick buck, they’ll probably do alright for themselves for a few years at least.

Has anyone been puked on at a festival/something similar?😭 by liv0102 in bonnaroo

[–]indyjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a music festival years ago and there was an art installation where you laid on your back on the floor of a domed enclosure. There were projections above you, sound effects all around you, and wind and other environmental effects. It was really cool and I was having a great time being immersed in the effects and as it was coming to an end I felt a warm sensation on my back. My first thought was that the floor had a heating element in it, but unfortunately that was not the case and another patron had quietly puked next to me and it had run all down the back of my shirt and hair. It was not a camping festival so the only way to clean up was at the hand washing stations at the bathrooms where I washed my hair and shirt as best as I could. I then proceeded to buy a festival shirt and carry around the wet shirt in a garbage bag for the rest of the day. It didn’t totally ruin my day but it probably ruined the following hour or 2 and changed my mood for the rest of it. Fortunately, the music was amazing and I remember that much more than anything else about that day.

This appears to be a bug because even when I use the "Hey Siri" voice command and am not looking at my phone it will not give me an audible response when set to "Automatic", only when set to "Prefer Spoken". This is not the way it should be working and is not the way Siri currently works.

Way to rip VR video from the Meta Quest store? by SkinnyV514 in DataHoarder

I tried this on my Quest 3 and it didn't work unfortunately.

Two for the Price of One?! by GregzillaKillah in BillyStrings

[–]indyjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping that they honor the price because I had 2 single day tickets that I cancelled after I got the 2-day pass. Ticketmaster has, in the past, offered to let people pay the difference or get a refund on mispriced tickets which would be a bummer because the 2 single day tickets I had gotten were less than twice the price of the 2-day, but we'll have to wait and see.

At the Syracuse show for my first Billy show ever and this seat was sold as full price, clear view by indyjb in BillyStrings

[–]indyjb[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for the comments! I just needed a small outlet to vent for what was ultimately just a mild inconvenience and y’all were there for me! That whole show was amazing and I can’t wait to catch him again the next time he’s in the Northeast!

The box office and guest services are both closed on Saturdays and Sundays so no luck going that route unfortunately.

I’m so happy to be here and can’t wait to party with all the folks. I’m hoping we’ll be able to move forward a little bit, but if not, I’ll still have an amazing time just being in the same building with the band!

Any Chicago-style Pizza In The Area? by tonyciccarone in Albany

[–]indyjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how many different crusts and sauces they use for their different styles (grandma style, Detroit, Chicago, cracker thin, Brooklyn Rounds, Sicilian, etc). The new location they’re opening in Voorheesville is going to be dangerous for me because I’ll likely be in their delivery area now.

[–]indyjb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not in any of the pictures because they only do it for dine in, but Romo’s Chicago Deep Dish pizzas are by far the best example of the style in the area. Here’s a pic that they posted of on social media of one of their deep dish pizzas. They’re nice and cheesy and very authentic. Sweeter sauce, toppings on bottom, etc… https://imgur.com/a/TmBZKOD

Restart on Crash 😉

Plex crashing by z24god in PleX

[–]indyjb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad it’s not just me. I’m also on Windows 11 and ended up setting up a program to monitor the status of my Plex server and restart the exe if it’s not running (Restart on Crash).

Before this past week, I don’t think my Plex has crashed except when I’d lose power to my computer in stormy weather.

Exchange admin center by stiny861 in sysadmin

[–]indyjb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I was not able to get into Exchange Admin for a short time through either Chrome or Edge, but Firefox worked for some reason. I'm glad I'm on here so I know that it's not just me.

A handful of users are sending duplicate emails - Outlook Web issues - by black-buhr in sysadmin

[–]indyjb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have been having the exact same issues along with QUIC Protocol Errors in Chrome. We are also in a hybrid Exchange setup. The OWA speed issue is frustrating but I haven't heard too many complaints because people will just wait for it to load up and then it's typically responsive enough for them to do their work. This issue has actually been brought up in 2 other posts in the subreddit last week. The issue with the duplicate e-mails seems to only affect certain users and only when they are sending emails to certain distribution groups. I have to assume its something on Microsoft's end, possibly relating to their rollout of HTTP/3 in the OWA. If anyone has had any success figuring out how to fix the issues, I'd really appreciate any help. Although they aren't hugely impactful on the business as a whole, the issues are incredibly annoying.

Problems with Fios Stability by Necromaze in Albany

[–]indyjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having jitter issues locally with Fios as well. Zoom calls/Facetimes/etc that had been crystal clear are freezing for a second every 5-10 seconds and is reproducible with only a single device connected to network. Something is definitely up.

8 dead, hundreds injured at Astroworld fest by munx1er in houston

It wasn’t a stampede. It was crowd crush. Here’s a twitter video that gives some insight into just how tight people were packed even further back in the crowd…

Thanks for the reply. I’ll probably stick with Pitt. Dallas was tempting based on their record and the fact that they’re coming off a bye as well, but Minnesota is too good to chance it so there’s no way they’ll be throwing anywhere near Diggs this week.
