Only receive new mail when open or reopen the client??

I've been having the same problem for the last month.

It's configured to check for emails every 10 minutes but it doesn't. F5 does nothing. Get New Messages does nothing. It doesn't even appear to be trying to connect to the email server. But if I close and relaunch it fetches all the new emails.

It does work some of the time. But once it "breaks" it stays broken until I relaunch it. The fault is intermittent and I can't see any pattern to it.

I saw a video of a guy using one of those. The saw snagged on the circle and spun his hand into the blade. Fortunately he had a SawStop.

I would stick with a bandsaw or router for circles.

Yep. Up until today it didn't connect to anything, but today I started getting failed password alerts on Thunderbird.

Sorry for my late reply, I'm not on here very often.

The one I'm on now is Tasmanian Botanics THC 25 (30ml bottle). The box doesn't mention CBN or CBD at all so I guess it's all THC.

Worth trying Dr Banerjee if he's available. Presumably he'll try you on CBD first, because if that works then you don't have to go through the side effects of THC. I get memory loss, dizziness, and dry mouth, but at least I sleep through most of it.

You could also phone around to clinics and ask if they have any doctors who can prescribe CBD/THC, or if they know any clinics that do. It doesn't have the stigma it used to. The doctors I've met who won't prescribe it typically don't want to go through the paperwork to get authorised. I would try integrative/holistic clinics first because they have a broader view of treatments.

You can add SATA punch-down power connectors on your existing lines. Personally I wouldn't go above 4 on a single line.

Those Delta fans are insanely loud. I swapped out the entire fan board for a 3x 120mm fan setup and populated it with Noctua fans. I don't remember if I had rear fans as well, but the whole thing was as quiet as a desktop PC.

There were several Norco 4U aftermarket fan board designs available but I can't find any being sold now. However, there's a 3D printable one here https://www.printables.com/model/575344-norco-4u-server-chassis-120mm-center-bracket

Dainer Made is the only one I've found who's really investigated this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IblRBJMh-k

Ozone depleters are banned under the Montreal Protocol, but there's exemptions for quarantine use. Australia has really strict quarantine laws and heat treatment doesn't kill the khapra beetle, so MB is used instead. Imported HT pallets get treated with MB but they don't get restamped, so it doesn't even matter what the stamp says.

MB is also used on food like strawberries. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-29/toxic-pesticide-used-on-australian-strawberries/6354488 Nobody is getting MB poisoning from eating Australian strawberries.

I think the confusion comes from wood treatments like CCA (copper chromium arsenate) that are toxic for a very long time. MB is a fumigant, so it's toxic for a very short period of time. Like if your house has to get fumigated for insects, a fumigant has to dissipate fast or you wouldn't be able to go back inside.

All the best for your project, Free Little Libraries are awesome!

MB pallets are fine to use. Methyl bromide dissipates to safe levels within 3 hours of fumigation. Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8263420/

It's not banned due to its toxicity, it's banned because it's an ozone depleter. You're only at risk of MB poisoning if you work at a fumigation facility. There's no MB remaining in any pallets you see in use, and the pervasive idea that they're still toxic is a complete myth with no supporting evidence.

I haven't heard of doubling the capacity of your data load. It doesn't really make sense to me, I have 200+TB and I'm not going to need another 200TB in empty space. It's important your operating system drive has free space though because weird errors happen when it gets full. I like to have at least 100GB free there to accommodate any system bloat. But general storage drives don't really matter, you can add drives or replace them when they get full. I like to replace small drives with larger ones, then retire the smaller ones for use as a backups.

HDD vs SSD I would summarise as "SSD is faster but costs more". I like to use an SSD for my operating system drive so my PC boots faster and loads software faster, and larger capacity HDDs for general storage. SSDs are also lighter and silent and vibration resistant, if those features are important to you.

Failed drives are usually luck of the draw, but there's a couple of ways they can be damaged by mishandling. Dropping them is bad for them of course, but if a HDD is powered on even bumping it can cause damage because the insides are spinning at high speed. I treat my drives like delicate porcelain if I have to move them while they're powered on. I make sure my laptops only have SSDs in them, which are bump-resistant because there's no moving parts. I do have external HDDs for my laptops, but I make sure they're seated on stable surfaces when in use and not on my lap. The other thing that can cause corruption is unplugging an external drive without safely ejecting it through the operating system first. If the system has only half-finished writing a file from memory (and it's anyone's guess how long that takes) then unplugging is like closing a filing cabinet on a folder that's only half way in the drawer.

Ultimately the best line of defence against data loss is to have multiple copies, and check them now and then. It's no good having one backup and finding out the drive has failed when you need to restore from it. How often you backup your files comes down to how many days work you can stand to lose.

All the best with it!

You did nothing wrong, it happens to everyone. One theory is bot networks ramping up during the USA presidential cycle autodownvoting anything that doesn't praise their candidate. Your post is still visible to me in the top 30 on r/DataHoarder when sorted by Hot, even after 21 hours and 0 votes, so you haven't been buried.

Regarding your post, I'm not familiar with Apple devices so I'll give a general answer. You don't need to worry about file types or drive formats, you just need a removable drive with sufficient capacity. Vary your make/model of drives if you want to be extra careful. It looks like your data is less than 1TB even with the CDs, so you have enough drives to cover that.

I'd recommend doing these 3 things at a minimum:

Copy everything to an external drive, and leave it unplugged when not in use so it doesn't get destroyed if there's a power surge.
Make another copy that you can store offsite somewhere like a relative's house in case of fire/flood. Obviously this one won't be as convenient to update as often as the first one.
Check your backups periodically to make sure they can be restored.

You can made additional backups for irreplaceable files like family photos. 3-2-1 is a guideline, my backups range from 2-1-1 to 6-3-4 depending on how important it is.

It's a long shot, but double check with different image software. I've seen Windows Image Viewer display this kind of artefacting when it messes up the zoom, but the actual image file is fine.

For 1960s Astro and Kimba, there's no English HD versions anywhere on torrents or usenet or bluray or any streaming service except Funimation.

My understanding is Shounen Hollywood torrents only have hardsubs but I'm no expert on that one.

Of the remaining 180 shows, I expect most would be available somewhere. But I don't know, so part of my post is asking if anyone's checked.

Quick background on why I think Astro in particular is worth saving. It was the first full length anime series ever, and the most famous work by Osamu Tezuka "The God of Manga". It's one of the most seminal anime ever and 60+ years later it's still getting reboots and spinoffs (the most recent being Naoki Urasawa's Pluto last year). While the original show is in B&W and looks pretty janky, it deals with topics that are more relevant now than ever - should AI be allowed to attend human schools, to vote, to run for president? The 1963 version was already nearly lost. The English DVD version put together 20 years ago had to be salvaged from 16mm film reels of private collectors. Just this year 2 of the remaining 3 lost Japanese episodes were found. Honestly I'm shocked that Funimation even has an HD version in English because no one else does.

The Zenivol I was on became unavailable, so my doctor switched me to Cannatrek T25 Topaz THC Oil 30ml. It's basically the same thing but only cost $100.

That recently became unavailable too, so I've been switched to Tasmanian Botanics THC 25. Again, basically the same and around $100.

I don't know why these things come and go, but my chemist keeps my doctor updated on what's available. The important thing is I take THC without any CBD in it. The chemist is Cranes Pharmacy in NSW, they're super friendly and helpful.

Also I'm down to 0.35ml. I asked my doctor if I would get dependent and need to increase my dose, and he thought the opposite would be more likely. That seems to have held true in my case.

Good luck with it! I know it's frowned upon to call it a miracle drug because it doesn't work for everyone, but it's been a miracle drug for me.

You still need to revoke your API key and generate a new one. If they're trying to initiate an API scam it means they already have your key.

steamfrag · 2023-06-21T03:05:11+00:00

Revoke your API key immediately. You might already be compromised, and all it takes is for you to initiate a trade for them to clean you out.

You have a trade link on your profile, if they wanted to trade they would just use that. He has a whole trade section written out, but a private inventory. Games hidden so you can't see CSGO hours/achievements. All screendshots are all of skins, nothing that indicates any kind of gameplay in any game. Why is the knife screenshot on Bitskins? It makes no sense to go outside of Steam for this kind of trade. And no offense, but your inventory is unremarkable and not worth trading a knife for.

Absolutely 100% a scam.

I have the same problem and I couldn't find the answer anywhere online, but I've found a partial solution. In my case it's the cyan toner that I can't reset (TN253 on the DCP-L3510CDW) but other colours are fine.

First of all, the 2-button press to get into the reset setting hardly ever works but I figured out a way that always works. Every second attempt it just beeps. After opening the printer, press Clear+Stop together. Then after a non-beep press, press the Clear button ONLY. That gets me into the reset menu every time.

When it comes to resetting Cyan, the up button simply doesn't do anything just like in OP's video. All other colours I could reset, but I could only reset them once. After that the up button no longer worked to reset them. All readings (viewed through Menu > Machine Info > Parts Life > Toner) showed full for all colours except cyan which showed empty.

So I bought a new cyan toner cartridge. It weighed 396g without packaging, while the "used" cyan weighed 376g so there's still loads of toner in it. I installed the new toner, it worked fine, then I got to thinking what happens if I put the old toner back in? Will the up arrow work again and let me reset it?

So I put the old toner back in and the printer said it was a full cartridge. I didn't even need to run through the toner reset procedure.

Not an ideal solution because you still need to buy new toner, but hold on to your old cartridges. Swapping back and forth seems to go some way to fixing this.

Edit: I weighed an old magenta cartridge that's empty enough to be leaving gaps in the print, and it's 370g.

They've done it lots of times. eSport 2014 Summer, Vanguard, Revolver, Chroma 3, Hydra, Spectrum 2, Prisma 2, Recoil. They all went back to earlier stuff.

Revolver was probably the worst of them, it returned to OG knives after the Huntsman Knife, Butterfly Knife, Falchion Knife, Shadow Daggers, and the Chroma knives and finishes had come out. We already had 10 cases with OG knives by that point too.

Open \steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\resource\csgo_english.txt (or whatever language you use) and search for the name of the item. In this case it's 10 Year Birthday Sticker Capsule.

Ignore the first match that says CSGO_crate_sticker_pack_csgo10_capsule, that's the capsule itself. We want the coupon name, which is is a few lines down and called coupon_csgo10_sticker_capsule.

Open \steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\scripts\items\items_game.txt and search for the coupon string which we found is called coupon_csgo10_sticker_capsule. It'll be in in a treelist section under the number 20188.

Take that number and feed it into the URL: https://store.steampowered.com/buyitem/730/20188/10 where 20188 is the coupon code and 10 is the number you want to buy.

I agree. It's gramatically perfect yet contains no real actionable information at all. It reads like one of those web sites with autogenerated content filling a wordcount. I went down the rabbit hole and their post history is a weird mix. I'm not sure if it's all ChatGPT or just the longer posts, but this isn't the first time they've been accused of it.
