no clue because baseball Spring Training starts in 4 days!

"On the evening of Saturday, January 26th, our database server had three hard drives fail. It was designed to handle two disk failures, but three failed disks made the situation catastrophic." camelcamelcamel.com. Still down!

me need to know cloud object storage, back in my day best practice was fail over to hot replicated storage.

I would have just assumed that all of CCC just ran somewhere cloudy anyway, AWS would have been particularly fitting.

Hang on, Jan 26?!

Awesome. Coincidentally I just stumbled across and bought his For Now I Am Winter CD for half off here in the Philippines.

Would love to see him perform live. His latest album "re:member" is excellent (as is pretty much all his stuff tbh).

Yes, I too have remember, the entire concert was that plus more. The live performance was way more engaging for me, but I have the cd to "re-member"

Loads call em a Led Zep knockoff, and while they're definitely emulating ol Robert Plant they're kinda doing their own thing too, which is cool.

Yeah, true enough. Dunno if it's retail, but find some Impossible ground "meat" or at a burger place. Amazing that it tastes like meat, purely vegan though.

Recently discovered it myself. impossiblefoods.com (no affiliation)

yes, beans are vegan, why play with plants to make it look and "taste" like meat. Tried "beyond meat", and heard "impossible" is even better, but what is the point when these burgs have as much sat fat as cow, just eat cow! I am doing this for health, fyi.

The 2019 Impossible (limited release now, wide in March) has 30% less saturated fat that the old recipe.

Our whole family went pescatarian 1.5 years ago for health reasons (and American food distribution reasons). 9yo's migraines disappeared. 14yo's autistic behaviors improved. And the wife & I feel so much better.

Long-Johns are game changers. The underwear and the pastry.

Maple!

Its way to warm here. Got to like 40f today. How am I supposed to ski if the rain melts all the snow?!

Yeah we’re having a little heat wave too. Got just above freezing today for the high which is kinda crazy for January.

Oh whoops.. just realized I’m on Bixby’s page and that was from Dec!

When was it recorded? Vinnie was a die hard zildjian A guy if I remember correctly, but recently moved to Paiste and plays the 602 modern essentials line. If he was playing brilliant A's, they could be a bit splashy, but if it was the modern essentials, they would be a bit darker.

Great talent lost to us way too soon.

Sears Canada went under last year. Retirees and those near retirement got screwed out of their pensions while execs and board members made millions. Sickening.

I have a friend who was a store manager at Sears, took a small pay cut to be an assistant store manager at Lowe's just a few weeks ago. Dodged a bullet for sure.

The EgglestonWorks was one of my two favorites as well. Sigma Acoustics being the other. Visited both on multiple days and impressed each time.

Also $320 for the zeros show special.

Mom?

She is a scary person for sure!

I think I'll go fishing. In the Ozarks.

How does an oreo fit inside a phone let alone learn to fly?

Did you try to suck the Oreo out?

@cskippy, that's how wifi works! Stuff flies around. Some it flies into your phone.

Aren't their nasty donuts all thawed in store?

"Nasty donutses, we bakes them!"

I remember the time when NCR changed its name (because it hadn't made cash registers in a while) to something nobody was going to remember. It changed back, but... nobody remembers them at all now. Maybe they became a burger company?

am somewhat bothered as to why you reading such a topic because at last check you had health but zero beauty!

Even before I clicked on the link, I thought of Goop.

That stuff is way crazier than the most extreme of audiowhackery.

Some of it might get recycles as 'phool cables!

"slowly rebooted my nervous system..." Sounds like some sort of torture! The only thing one needs to "reboot the nervous system" is a nice, ten-minute nap. Free.
