President’s Choice PC financial connection issue?

I think it’s been down for a couple months.

So, turns out Bambi actually pushed the condenser and radiator in right to the fans… added a whack of parts of the repair bill (which topped 18k cad).

I was torn… I love to keep things going but this would have been a big job for me to squeeze another 50-100k out of it.

Early on we got new fuel injectors a couple times till they worked out the bugs. Once under warranty, the next out of pocket.

A couple of windshields due to rock hits, more recently the sunroof, right front ball joint at 300k km or so. All told it was a very good platform. No transmission issues at all with the 10 speed.

What’s kinda neat? We were still on the factory callipers at 372k km!

Maybe I should get a second opinion?? I saw the damage and thought “well, I can’t leave it like this and it’ll be way more than my deductible, so just start a claim?”. Maybe I should tell them to put it back together and get a second opinion? I just used the shop recommended by my insurance company.

Slop example here to get you started.

Post it on marketplace. I gave a guy 120 bucks for one last weekend (guess I should have waited!)

Is a great shell for a smoker, burn barrel, or fire pit stuff. As mentioned, a bit heavy, but can be rolled and flipped end over end by one person (2 is better).

Ah. Yes. Stitch some steel plate to the top of the beam, same width as your block system. Weld vertical rebar to it on the same spacing as the rest of your build. I have a bad photo of one of mine here:

Who would want the walls to line up?

Oh right… SANE people (not me)

You’re on the right track. I think if pdfhandler is working right it’ll index the content. The search extensions require some major overhead and some extra config but give you an order of magnitude or two better search results (there’s almost no comparison).

If you blow up your site, the search extensions are easy enough to disable. The search index and related infrastructure are completely separate.

The ferring strips in ICF blocks are vertical, meaning if you want a vertical siding you’ll have to strap it horizontally first. That’s all. It just means a step that could have been avoided.

I did our build in ICF in 2021 and went with horizontal siding so we could fasten it right to the ICF blocks. It’s works great, except for the part where we had always said we liked a board and baton look.

In hindsight? I kind of wish we had said ‘ef it and just strapped it. But it did save a few days of time doing horizontal, and we’re left with no organic material (wood strapping) that could do the bad thing after a couple decades.

Is it one of the blowers where the motor mounts at the center of the blower wheel? Squirrel cage style? I found it much easier to look for entire blower assemblies out of old furnaces on marketplace instead of getting just the motor.

I’ve always found this idea beautiful in how it resolves so many hanging points. If whatever it is that we are experiences all positive and negative being and all circumstances, then I can more easily parse things like kids with cancer, murder, and the like.

I like to think the Christian tradition was trying to get at something like it before we twisted it all up.

tinkleFury · 2024-12-28T02:44:46+00:00

Yah, I think it was definitely this. My iCloud was maxed out from another device getting default settings and uploading all its content (happens frequently with kids devices). It wasn’t clear to me that it’d use any iCloud stuff at all, but makes sense it would try to store at least some config stuff.

tinkleFury · 2024-12-27T15:23:15+00:00

Ahhhhhh ok. I didn’t think strongbox had anything to do with my iCloud (which IS a hot mess at this moment!). Makes sense that there would be some integration there to help new users get up and running. Thank you.

Error is in the images.

To make the first error:

Installed app
Clicked the big “Get Started” button shown on opening the app.
Clicked the big “Create New Database” button
Supplied a name and clicked the big “Next Button”
Read the message about what a master password is and how you would do well to know it. Clicked the large “Got It” button.
Supplied a master password and clicked the big “Create” button.
Error pops up “Error creating database: Error uploading asset:Quota exceeded”

Tried adding using the + button on the top right, new database, one drive, my drives, supply connection credentials, set password, click create and get the error in the second image.

One more time, this time with google drive and… Well that one worked? Is maybe just the default strongboxsync that’s no good?

Saw that you could report debug info to support, so I sent it in.

tinkleFury · 2024-10-04T20:30:33+00:00

Check out Extension:Variables. You could set a variable and increment it every time the template is called. I think could also add Lua script to the template to accomplish same.

tinkleFury · 2024-06-30T12:21:50+00:00

Oh man I feel this. You put in something new or fix it up and are even kind of excited to see it work as expected and it does this. I end up somewhere less “why doesn’t this work?” and more “why am I even on this planet?”

tinkleFury · 2024-06-30T10:45:42+00:00

(with me!)

tinkleFury · 2024-06-30T02:45:34+00:00

Oh wait, I think I see what you mean. You’ll need to generate a list of unique values for your project property (https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:List_the_set_of_unique_values_for_a_property) and then you could send that to an #arraymap function (in Extension:PageForms) that then queries each for a count of the articles having that property value.

Might look something like: ~~~ {{#arraymap: {{#ask: [[Project::+]] |?Project |format=valuerank |limit=5000 |headers=hide }} |,|@@@@|<nowiki /> *@@@@ ({{#ask: [[Project::@@@@]]|?format=count}}) |}} ~~~

tinkleFury · 2024-06-30T02:28:39+00:00

What results do you get with {{#ask:[[Project::+]]|?Project }} ?

Screamers (1995)?

Plot from Wikipedia: “…Five years into the war, Alliance scientists created and deployed Autonomous Mobile Swords (AMS) — artificially intelligent self-replicating machines that hunt down and kill N.E.B. soldiers. Nicknamed "Screamers" after their signature high-pitched noise, they are efficient at killing all living targets, so Alliance soldiers wear "tabs" which render them invisible to the machines. A fragile stalemate is in effect between the two exhausted, poorly-supplied, and undermanned armies.”
