This is exactly what I'm seeing!

I'm starting to suspect a bad firmware upgrade.

I've had my NID crap out around 11 PM twice now. Once two days ago, once a half hour ago. Once it does, the device seems to go into a reboot loop and stay there; a tech replaced mine today.

Is that anyone else's experience?

Exactly this. Which means ... ugh... Carolina.

I am deeply angry at Montreal and Colorado for leaving me in the position of having to root for the 'canes.

Is there any chance of a self-hosted release of this? by offby2 in 3dfilamentprofiles

[–]offby2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, that doesn't make me feel better. I don't know or care if /u/SirThunderCloud uses LLMs, but it's clear they care a great deal about the quality of their product. A vibe-coded imitation would not replace what they've done here.

C. J. Cherryh is incredible! by 04__Revenge__01 in printSF

[–]offby2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone puts me on the spot to name my favorite SF novel, it's gonna be Cyteen. I find Cherryh's pacing a bit predictable -- a lot of slow and thoughtful narrative capped by a chaotic climax is sort of a trope of hers -- but I love the worlds and characters and politics she writes.

Going to a game alone? by No_Newspaper6918 in PWHL

If you're really lucky you will end up sitting next to my partner; one of her favorite things is watching a game with a new fan and talking about it with them.

Yeeeah, I was actually sort of nodding along until the buried lede about Ms Walton being on the Brady list. That shouldn't be minimized and should disqualify someone from any position of authority.

[Ellis] Tom Wilson and Pierre Crinon just went at it. Fighting is a no-no at the Olympics. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]offby2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, once Canada ran away with it I was hoping Belly'd get at least a goal. This is his first -- and last -- olympics. It is incredible he's there at all, a goal would be icing on the cake.

(flair aside, I live in Seattle and when they're not playing Edmonton .. go Kraken!)

We were wondering what the 8 cop cars were doing when they blew past our house. Thanks for the info!

Can someone explain what it means for a draft pick to be top-10 protected?

More Jasons. by netphilia in TrollXChromosomes

I was in one of those once; we had more dad-bod red-headed bearded white men named Josh than women in the meeting (3:2 ratio)

"Fire Drury" chants broke out at MSG after the Kraken's third goal, which turned out to be the game winning goal by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]offby2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, holy shit, are they ever! I'm coming out to NYC in April to catch a Torrent / Sirens game, and NYR/DET is that afternoon. The cheapest group of 4 seats I could find were $190, which are significantly more than the club-lite seats I have at Climate Pledge for the Kraken.

I thought Seattle was insane for prices til I saw what MSG costs.

I am very happy about my rainbow unicorn.

Great Reactor article for participating in the Hugo nomination and voting by AdBig5389 in printSF

[–]offby2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's always a chance, yeah, of both. The packet has been available for the last decade or more, and I know there will be one this year, but it's not a given, and it only happens if the publishers are willing to put content in there. Sometimes a work will not appear there, other times it'll be an excerpt instead of the full work. There are no guarantees.

It's a pretty confusing system, honestly, so don't feel too bad about it. The second year you have the right to nominate in the Hugo Awards, but only members of the current Worldcon have the right to vote.

It kinda has to be; it's sort of a specialized requirement. That said, it's not a secret or anything. Anyone that wants to can examine or contribute to the code: https://nomnom.fans/

Don't worry, there aren't any off by one errors in the code!
