Everyone has at least 3 nicknames, even the damn dog has multiple names.

I'd try reseating the memory modules.

Your mother board probably has four slots labeled: DIMMA1, DIMMA2, DIMMB1 AND DIMMB2. Remove all the memory modules. Put one stick in DIMMA2 and try to boot. If it doesn't boot, try a different stick in DIMMA2.

Try that and let us know what happens.
Port 443 is the standard TCP port number used for secure communication over HTTPS. It sounds like your inverter has an embedded web server. From within your network, you should be able to view your inverter by pointing your web browser to https : //{ip address of your inverter}, like https : //192.168.0.2.

-remove the space after the https.

I wish I had started this book with a character guide. I wasn’t familiar with Russian nicknames or naming conventions, so for much of the story, I thought Alexei Fyodorovich and Alyosha Karamazov were two different people!
It's about the formation of the band - "Becoming Led Zeppelin". If I remember correctly, it covers the first couple of albums. It was the history before the band that was most interesting to me. As fans, we know what came later.

re: When to retire a home server?

My home server is a corporate hand me down. I'll retire it when something newer comes my way.

That Lenovo P620 is a lot of horsepower for $700. It would be overkill for my needs. If I had to buy something, I'd get a $150 Dell OptiPlex refurb off eBay and put a big spinning disk in it.

The header is like the e-mails envelope. It contains information about the email’s origin, routing, authentication, and other technical details. Copy and paste the header into Grok and it will explain it to you.

I'm convinced it's written that way so you can better feel Ahab's frustration.

Kids that age should not be on social media, especially Tik Tok.

I have the opposite problem. I frequently need to manually let line out. I must not let go of the trigger often enough. I don't have one but I'd probably prefer one of these bump style heads.

With the quick search last night I saw something about changing out a flood switch?


I fixed this issue on a GE dishwasher by replacing the Dishwasher Flood Switch and Thermistor Assembly. I read it was the most common cause for that problem on GE dishwashers. The part was cheap and easy to replace, so I gave it a shot and it worked.

In my case, not only were the dishes not drying, the water wasn't getting very hot. The water should be hot enough to steam up your glasses if it's functioning properly.

Any predictions on what we expect to see


Right before the events of Rogue One there's an insurgency on Jedha where the Empire is mining kyber crystals for the Death Star. Maybe that insurgency will be the focus of the final arc.

re: Rank the Star Wars shows

Posted by TAMU-93 on 5/5/25 at 10:24 am
GOOD

Andor: Hands-down the best Star Wars show with killer writing and stellar acting.

The Mandalorian: Seasons 1 and 2 rock, but Season 3 drifts off, and I just can’t buy a bounty hunter juggling baby duty long-term.

MID

Ahsoka: It’s decent, mostly riding on my love for Rebels.

Skeleton Crew: Good fun for kids, does its job.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Eh, it’s fine but forgettable.

TRASH

The Acolyte: Total trainwreck with garbage writing and characters changing motives every five minutes.

The Book of Boba Fett: Just a money grab with Mando and Grogu stealing half the episodes, sidelining Boba Fatt’s own story.
