OT: General OT Thread #44 - The World is Still Turning

Not liking things so far, but will be patient.
Yeah, need patience. Not HF's fault those hired to host the site failed to do their job. Management is pretty angry at them to say the last. Cleanup will take time. At least we didnt appear to lose any threads in the data recovery, though i had 9 pages of thread prefixes to fix here...

What really sucks, is the new account data completely lost over the last year!

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with this. If they're asking people for money, and taking in ad money, they should have a proper backup plan.
"Well XenForo had it covered" isn't a proper backup plan. They should have some sort of software that backs up to offsite data.

That money goes to paying for hosting/ server services. HF has never owned servers to store data. They rent server access. Always have since the beginning.
 
Someone said we could try to get the sponsor status back, correct? Assuming ads on mobile are unbearable still if/when they are back
 
At least dark mode is back. Was an unpleasant surprise to open HF at night (as per usual, given I tend to wake up for games) and promptly get flashbanged. Not in the pleasant way either.

I've been waiting for this report. It pretty much confirms what the watering hole speculation has been.

Landing gear issue of some sort, plane tilts to that side, wing digs into the ground, plane flips. It happens on occasionally on small planes.
 
Egg prices have dropped from an avg of $8.17/dozen a month ago to $4.90/dozen now.
It's about damn time.

Not sure which thread was the most appropriate for this, but it looks like the Xcel Center is looking for ~$770M for renovations; looking towards taxpayers for half of that amount.


I just don't understand why taxpayers have to pay anything for stadiums. It's not like we get a discount when we try to go watch something.

"Hey, I'll pay to help build this."
"Yay! I still have to pay to go to said place to watch something I want to watch!"

Surely, there has to be a better design for this.

MN residents who are paying for this should get half off tickets till the debt is repaid.
