I've got voice set to normal, not less chatty, but I don't get alerts to turn until I'm on top of the intersection and unable to change lanes to take the turn. I used to get this alert hundreds of feet earlier. This seemed to start months ago, but I keep forgetting to ask about it. (I don't drive much and rarely go new places, but it happened a couple of weeks ago when I took a friend from out of town to his hotel.)
I was playing from the west coast on Aerie Peak characters and lost connection going into the Darkmoon Faire. I switched to a toon on Eldre'Thalas (west coast server) and learned that the Chicago servers were down. Now I'm dropped from Eldre'Thalas, too! No report yet from the Blizzard CS X account on what's going on.

The glass candy holders are troubling.
For the two-party advocates who think libertarians should join one of the establishment parties. Yeah, no thanks.
I'm trying to make my CODESYS project not change when moved from one developer's PC to another. I'm using the Windows realtime ("RT") EtherCAT master.
To that end, I'm removing the network identification from the project. I renamed my Windows network interface to "EtherCAT" and changed the EtherCAT_Master object to select the interface by name, not MAC address. I then changed the Device's "Communication Settings" to NOT be stored in the project. But WHERE are they stored? I don't see an obvious file that has the choice of gateway and device.
Some video gamers think they're old at 30. Hah!
I have 32 toons spread across 3 realms and 2 factions, most working on TWW content and finishing Dragonflight. (I didn't buy Midnight.) I'm mostly doing professions and I want to fill in their knowledge points. I know that quartermasters typically sell 3 KP tokens for each profession. How can I find out which ones I missed?
I just updated RoundCube from an ancient version and I needed to extract my customizations to migrate to the new version. RC has a defaults.ini.php and config.ini.php in its etc directory. The first should not be touched, as it's overwritten on package updates. The 2nd holds the customizations. But my ancient version scattered some defaults in the custom file. There was no ordering and some settings are multi-line, so a simple use of diff wouldn't work. I wanted to know what was relevant and needed to be appended to the new file. I came up with the script in this gist. It reads the default and custom files into associative arrays, then diffs the result using a recursive version of associative_diff_array(). The result has only the changes from the defaults. This is then output as PHP source suitable for appending to the new custom config file. Suggestions for improvement are welcome. This might come in handy for some other app that uses a similar configuration scheme.

Is there really a shortage of spent fuel storage?
I came out to drive my 2005 Neon earlier this week and it wouldn't start. I had to jump-start it. I worried that it was my alternator. But my mechanically-minded best friend asked me when we changed the battery. I cleaned all the grease off it to read the label. January 2013! That's not that old, right?
A new battery resulted in reliable starts again. The only other problem I've had with it is the cam sensor, which is painful to replace. I've had to do it twice now. There are pipes in the way that have to be detached from the engine to get at the sensor's mounting bolts, and god forbid you drop a bolt! It'll be lost for archaeologists of the distant future to find.
When people boast about their big trucks, I tell them I drive a subcompact. I'm obviously compensating for something. 😜

I installed a Shelly 1 Gen 4 in parallel with my 30-year-old Linear rolling gate radio, taking power from the Linear's 12v regulator. The Linear closes its relay momentarily when it receives an 8-bit code from my key fob, causing the gate control to start opening or closing the gate.
The Shelly can treat its switch input as momentary, but the Android app offers no way to configure the firmware to act as a momentary output. I have to hit the widget twice to turn it on and off. Ideally, the firmware should offer this ability as a setting, together with a value for how long to stay in the "pressed" state. (I'd guess 200 milliseconds, but the value might vary for different controlled devices, so letting the user configure it would be best.)
BTW, is there a product that could let me read back the limit switches on the gate? It has two switches to stop the rolling gate at the ends of travel.
Also, the app doesn't have "gate" as an Appliance Type. The closest thing it has is "garage door". So I suggest adding "gate" to that selection.
In 2008, Nebraska passed a "Safe Haven Law" that allows parents to dump their kids on the state. Parents came from far away to dump their problem teens. The state was overwhelmed and rapidly changed the law to only allow kids less than 90 days old to be dropped off. But there's obviously a huge demand for this for kids of all ages. Parents realize they screwed up.
The probability of producing kids with issues is extremely high. We need programs that provide easy access to sterilization for teens who understand this. (I already donate to animal rescues that do this for feral cats. We need it for feral humans, too!)
I just discovered the ECX screwdriver for electrical work and I'd like to get some for a birthday present for a DIY friend who occasionally does electrical work. I see Milwaukee has a number of choices. I'm thinking one of each size (#1 and #2) with short bits, long bits, comfort driver, and insulated driver, for a total of 8 items. Is this a reasonable combination?
I want to create a folder "_Other" to hold unclassifed mail until I get enough to create a special folder for it. The leading underscore should cause it to sort to the start of the folder list. I try to keep Inbox empty. Thunderbird won't let me use this folder name. The Create button on the New Folder dialog stays greyed out. I'm able to do it with other clients. (I have the ancient Mulberry client as a backup.) I was able to create "-Other" with Tbird but it doesn't show up in the Tbird folder list. (Looking on the server from a shell login, I see Maildir/.-Other.)
This experiment suggests that Tbird treats certain leading characters in folder names as special. What are the hidden rules here?
SOLVED: PEBCAK. I failed to see the existing "_Other" folder sorted beneath the predefined folders like Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Junk. I'd initially typed "Other" and then added the underscore and that's when Tbird greyed out the proposed new folder name. I misdiagnosed that as a special character, not a refusal to create an existing folder.
I walked to my elementary school in the 60s. The only time my mom would drive me was when we got a rare torrential rain or when I had a medical appointment. It amazes me how parents queue up at the schools now, jockeying for position.
I do understand it at a rural school where there are no sidewalks and the cars drive down the narrow roads like maniacs. I do my best to avoid those areas during the hours when kids are arriving or leaving and the streets are impassable with queued parents.
Saaniya Abbas is adorable, but unlike any Muslim I've ever heard of. She's from Dubai and is hilarious. I've been getting her shorts in my feed this week and her crowd work is stellar. I had to subscribe.
What flavor of Muslim is she that can bare her midriff and go without a hijab?
