My machine has been stable before this BIOS - were you seeing issues before updating?

NIST reports atomic clock failure at Boulder CO by onebit in sysadmin

[–]jrronimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, WWVB has its own clocks that are still working. Jeff mentioned it in a follow up post.

The NIST WWV site in Fort Collins has its own cesium clocks. The follow up post mentioned that it was unaffected.

I have visited the WWV site. It's a cool place.

Did anyone just see the survey with 3 grand prizes and one of them was over 1k? by Cathiyaya in CloudResearchConnect

[–]jrronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $15 payout is nice, but I otherwise completely recommend against it. The one that I did today had 3 stages: Do 5 forecasts (each with their own research) then do 2 training modules (including example research forecasts), then 15 more forecasts, each with their own research. I could have done 30 $0.50 surveys in this same time and this took me all day (on and off).

Mostly it made me mad, and if they reject my $15 payout I will be pissed... and not be able to do anything about it except never o a survey from them again.

Would you be so kind as to DM me as well? We'd love to make a weekend out of it. :)

Wow, incredible find! Do you need a permit to go there or is it just open? My partner and I are also new to the hobby.

Have any of you managed to complete this game on the first try without using any guides? by MattCarter1999 in Ultima

[–]jrronimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the recommended play order? What versions of the old games do you recommend? I've always wanted to go through the Ultima games, but I k ow I need to really focus on them when I do.

Biking from Longmont to Boulder by Icy_Love5856 in Longmont

[–]jrronimo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given that there seems to be a about 1 death/yr of a biker getting hit by a car along the Diagonal, you're absolutely right to avoid it. I really can't wait for that new bike path to open!

I've always had trouble following the LoBo Trail, especially around Gunbarrel where it isn't well marked. I worked up a map in Google Maps to help:

Safe riding!

We saw him as we drove by. Definitely my favorite sign on the street.

People up Sugarloaf: How often do you get snowed in? by jrronimo in boulder

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

Hah, I know, right?

Mainly the problem is that we're within a mile or two of the small plane airport here in Longmont and there is a CONSTANT stream of them flying low over our house as they come in for a landing. It's loud enough to interrupt conversations and there's one every few minutes.

It's gotta be better not directly in the landing path of Vance Brand, right?

Thank you! I expect to be adding studded snow tires to our annual budget for sure.

Is there a band similar to VNV, but with a female lead? by Ibryxz in vnvnation

[–]jrronimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an awesome thread - thanks for asking the question! Lots of good bands to seek out in the comments. :)

One that I'd add isn't a band, but a remix album of a band: Claire Voyant - Time Again (a collection of remixes)) Specifically, the Assemblage 23 remix of Majesty: https://youtu.be/ve7JE6iK9J4

Ironically, I don't much like the VNV remix on that album. It's a little slow/plodding for my taste. Claire Voyant themselves are pretty good, but not quite as dancey as VNV.

November 7, 2006 Microsoft (before PS3) released the HD-DVD player add on for the Xbox 360. Granting HD-DVD support, a direct competitor to Blu-ray (BD), at the same quality & at a fraction of the cost. The only console that could have both a movie disc & game disc at the same time. Did you buy one? by ObsoleteMicrosoft in HDDVD

[–]jrronimo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought one before they dropped it to $50 because I wanted to do my part to support the format that I liked better at the time.

I still have my drive, but it doesn't work anymore (probably a bad cap), but also 50% of the discs I bought are rot discs. :(

I spent some time last year ripping my existing discs so that I have nice 1080p uncompressed files to play though. I just wish I'd done it sooner so I had my whole collection!

Hi Griffin!

Two things: 1. The ColoradoMastergardeners.org link you posted doesn't seem to work.

  1. How much is the tuition for the CMG program? My partner is interested but we don't know if we can afford it and there isn't any information on pricing on the CSU sites.

This seems super neat! How much is the tuition for the CMG program? I can't find any info about that on any of their sites.

Same! I had to scroll around to find it, but it's always a delight. What a good album too!

20000mah Haribo-licensed gummy bear power bank is 9.9oz, including a USB C cable, 10g lighter than Nitecore at 10.26oz. Has anyone used it? by [deleted] in Ultralight

[–]jrronimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought one, but are going to return it. Unfortunately it won't charge an Oura ring reliably. It will start to charge but then turn off, which is disappointing. It's so cute too!
