That is insane. Do you have a link to where you saw this, please? Not that I don't believe you but I want to see that number on an actual forecast.

The Mt Washington Observatory is very cool. Follow them on FB if you do that sort of thing. The weather there is insane and some of the pictures they post are amazing.

mfs all excited over AI bullshit when we’re seeing real genius and innovation over in the sandwich sector.

Episode 3 of "The Last of Us" was one damn good piece of Television. I wonder how Provy feels about it?

Is that a panini though

One of the best written episodes of any show i've seen a while*. Really shows what is at stake for humanity. And also another reminder that Ivan the Terrible is a piece of shit.

Spoiler

*especially considering it was not based on anything from the game other than Bill being a survivalist. The only mention of his relationship with Frank is in a letter which described their relationship as a very toxic one.

Been reading that Nick Offerman was insanely good in Ep 3...tempted to watch cause I am a huge fan of his

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, paninis are just pressed sandwiches, and that’s obviously a sandwich.

Good burrito

Alright. PC mystery here.

OS is Windows 11.

On two separate machines, we had the ethernet adaptor shut off and refuse to reactivate after uploading or pasting an image in a particular website. We swapped out machines the first time it happened and it happened on the second one, so we figured it was potentially a switch issue. PCs have to be restarted to turn it back on. Once, during restart the thing BSODed and took an hour to recover. We wondered if perhaps it was related to Dropbox operations.

This morning it happened when pasting into Paint. No Dropbox on the machine. Completely and fully local. Switch uninvolved. Neither machine has had UEFI change. Our Win10 surfaces on the same network are not impacted. Just these two machines, only at a particular work station on the same switch port (though that apparently doesn't matter).

What the f***?

Sounds like troubleshooting nightmare fuel. I can't see why any of those actions would have any impact on each other. I would "guess" it's a Windows 11 issue. It seems to have a fair amount of complaints.

That's not a sandwich, it's a calzone.

 

[Striiker]

Calzones are sandwiches

Dont go in expecting Ron Swanson if you do watch it..

When it happened on a second computer that's what we suspected. And then when it was fully local, we were sure. I searched for the issue and... nope. We have an apparently unique problem on these machines.

The common thread is that theyre loaded up from the same initial image. So maybe there's some deep problem there. This is probably a kernel level issue that we won't be resolving ourselves.

By this rationale, which I'm not necessarily against, that means that hand pies (and potentially all pies) are sandwiches, and that pizza is a really just an open face sandwich.

Drivers updated on the image? Are both machines using the same adapter?

They're only built from the image, after that they run free. Drivers were checked.

Are they supplying engines? I remember the days when the Cosworth engine dominated F1.

Yeah in 2026. Seems like the deal RB tried to work out with Porsche that fell through

Absolutely. And if you fold the pizza, it’s then a full sandwich.

What are your thoughts on layer cake? Dessert sandwich, yea or nay?
