Really not much difference if you think about it.

disagree. that piece of shite perfectly encapsulates how anti material and practical Ron was. except for steak and whiskey. and wood

knowing he was filthy rich the entire time in hindsight only solidifies it


yes, but Ron does too much woodworking for that car alone, he has a truck.
Yes, why get burned when they make swim shirts.

How many devices are you connecting now to the APs?

I found that I had to add a few access points for my home network becuase of so many devices.

Simplest thing to try first is pull the power chord. Wait a 60 seconds, the reseat and try it again. A lot of time, the computers do not come back from stand-by mode and will do things like that, simply unplugging it forces everything to shut down.

Dust the inside, pull the ram and boot it. if there is no ram in it, the mother board should beep. Then reseat the ram.

Like a car, ride it till it dies, if its just a file server. Just make sure you have backups.

If you do not hear it or feel it spinning, then its dead. More than likely a stuck seek arm. I have done this before and it work. Slap it with your hand on the top; sometimes a bit of percussive maintenance will free the joint. But if it does spin up, copy every off it before shutting down the computer.

Same. I have tended just to stick with Apple or Pecan wood. My wife does not like a heavy smoke taste, so I tend toward the mild flavors.

Those are pretty good
No, I think Miami and LSU was a better game; much more drama. I also think the 2000 LSU/Standford game was better too..

I think that was the greatest pitching duel in the CWS.
Probably only if they make the championship series.
They tried to rob Murray State with some home cooking in the 9th at Duke. That was clear interference and should have ended the game. But, hey, that coach will not be cutting grass much longer. Taking Murray State to Omaha, he about to make bank. Someone will want that dude as a coach.
question is not if LSU will win the jello shot stuff, but if they will break the 2023 record. They were well past previous years before Todd Graves stepped in and make a great donation to the food banks.

Younger Dryas
Everyone has touched on the global flooding events already but this is also the time that the large mammals in North America went kaput. I believe understanding this event is extremely important to humankind.


You mean we can not blame humans for hunting animals 10x their size to extinction now wooden and stone spears. Which literally is one of the most outlandish ideas to come out of academia...
Maybe they just like Disney? So people like baseball, others car racing, other Disney...
Well, that Graham Handcock and Randall Carson are on their way to Austin right now to record with Rogan..
Of all the things in this thread that is most hilarious is that any university is better than any other university academically.
