I don’t know how you can compare these series. The Terror ends around 1850. The North Water starts in 1859. We’re talking pre­–Crimean War and post–Crimean War here. The Terror was adapted from a 2007 novel; The North Water was adapted from a 2016 novel. Both shows revolve around an embittered Irish protagonist who abandons his ship after it becomes trapped in the ice, kills a polar bear–looking creature, becomes the sole surviving member of his expedition, and eventually learns to live with the Inuit. But one was addicted to alcohol, whereas the other was hooked on laudanum (which was only, like, half alcohol). Should I keep pointing out obvious contrasts? I mean, one of these series aired on AMC, while the other premiered on AMC+. I’m sorry, I just don’t see it.

I have literally just connected a Strava account to Garmin and yes 'sync courses' is an option alongside 'sync activities' which is required.

Fiddling with Strava now, I can't see how you change that - you may need to revoke and reconnect Garmin.

Yes I understand that now. I actually found an email address and got an almost immediate response from the developer confirming that Strava/Garmin Express sync is required (at least until they get their mobile app finished).

So I guess I'll create a new empty Strava account and use it with that. Probably for the best.

Edit: although when you opt in to Strava sync, there's an option to allow it to 'View data about your private activities', so I'll try it with all activities private.

I meant an individual upload of a GPX file or similar.

Am I right in thinking Squadrats requires you to sync all your existing activities via Strava and/or Garmin Express - there's no way of manually adding activities?

For reasons similar to @lesterama I am trying to start from zero. And the little tiles (squadratinhos if we must) may help me with this.

I have created an account but can't seem to see any contact details, and no help other than the very basic Rules page.

If I skip Garmin/Garmin sync I see nothing at all on the Activities page apart from 'synchonising...'.

(I could create a new Strava account I suppose?)

Edit: the Terms of Service say:

You agree when uploading activities to squadrats.com or to the Squadrats App (either by uploading manually or synchronising via Strava

... so I guess there is/was a way to manually upload. But now my Activities page just says

No activities ... If you have activities in Strava or Garmin, you can synchronise them automatically... Connect to Strava ... Connect to Garmin

so maybe manual upload was discontinued?

What is the model of your modem and what you call wireless routers? Trying to work out what's actually routing.

Right but you can't really expect it to continue working. Perhaps there has been some policy update somewhere that blocks it for security reasons.

The next thing I would try is giving the networks different names. Modern devices shouldn't have too many problems with jumping from one to the other.

Edit: are you running two routing devices on the wired network? All bets are off then.

FFS. They already knew each other from childhood - they are both at the party as they are back at their parents's village for Christmas New Year. Thus her mother says something like 'You remember Bridget - she used to cavort naked on your lawn'. It's the very first scene.

(Could be different in the book, didn't read it).

My track pump has somehow developed a puncture in the metal return tube (?) bit which I think is aluminium.

About 0.7 mm diameter. I guess it fell over and hit something sharp. Doesn't seem to be a crack. It wasn't originally that obvious - I stuck a pin in it to investigate.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Did you read the 'distance selling' bit? The key bit is whether it's within 14 days. Edit: and >= £42

I actually started this during COVID lockdown. All I can remember is that it was pretty similar dates for the few years before that.

Check the trade-in you may get against the 8a

Interesting to hear that his co-defendant was critically injured [edit: by a car driver] 2 days ago... https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/mike-lynchs-co-defendant-us-trial-critically-injured-uk-road-accident-source-2024-08-19/

Oakley (EssilorLuxottica) customer service. FFS.

I spent £99 on a pair of replacement lenses.
They were faulty (one had a small metal spike right in the centre, presumably to do with the mirror coating).
I contacted customer services and gave them photos etc and they authorised the return and said they'd replace.
It took them about a month to respond, and they told me they were out of stock and and that I should request a refund instead.
...except they were in stock on the UK website.

They then told me (via a series of badly translated/possible AI emails) that didn't mean they were actually in stock, and that I wouldn't be able to put them in my basket, that if I did I wouldn't be able to check out, and if I did the order wouldn't go through.

None of this was true, so now I have a another pair (not faulty though), and have to now request a refund. And I have lost about 30p interest. FFS.

Gambling and deals with petrostates ofc 👍

I think I have said this before, but I find it fascinating as I think it is almost unfiltered stream of consciousness.

If you can get some context from elsewhere, it's fairly direct steps from one thought to another, but there are rarely any internal checks that most people consider essential (but carry out automatically):

• whether a branching idea should be considered at all

• prioritisation of ideas (or even ability to store more than one or two simple ideas in the 'foreground')

• considering whether an idea should be spoken at all, further processed or dropped

It's kind of like his brain is a single core CPU with very limited storage that can only be flushed to voice.

This makes it similar to output of a basic natural language generation algorithm, e.g. using a Markov chain.

Ah yes the rural equivalent of the fixie-skidder's Track Marshall

I can't remember too well how I
got there, but I ended up with the predecessor to the Draytek Vigor 2766 modem+router+wireless access point: https://www.draytek.com/products/dsl-routers/ as I wanted everything in one box.

ectoplasmosis recommendation is a router only I believe?

It's possible your router is crap/failing/overheating and that's causing errors.

I replaced my basic modem/router with a low end business-grade router to get rid of this sort of problem

In short your browser can't find the websites. Slightly longer, DNS lookup has failed. Try a different DNS service for a while (this is normally an address set on your router).

Sounds like you need a Leonardo AW609. Highly adjustable and has a pair of fans out of the box.

Has this been revolved yet?

Edit:.or something about crop rotation...needs work
