Because I made an extra server-level backup ("snapshot") before attempting this fix (just as an extra precaution), in the near future (after we're fairly certain everything works well), I will need to get rid of the old "snapshot" that will require server downtime. Will try to do something like this in the wee hours when people are sleeping so hopefully no one will notice. UPDATE: All done around 1:33 AM Eastern Time.

I like it! It's just a game. Pretty clever, actually.

What a cat!

Allons enfants de la patrie, le jour de gloire est arrivé! And I love La Vie en Rose. I always sing it as “tu” rather than “il”. More personal!

He really should stop trying to save face when he blunders into something. He just ends up sounding stupid. U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a reversal of plans to charge a 20% toll on cargo going through the Strait of Hormuz, saying that Middle Eastern countries will instead make investment and trade deals with the U.S. “Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States,” Trump said on social media. The president said the investments “will be MASSIVE,” though it’s unclear if these would be new commitments relative to what Trump announced after a visit last year to the Middle East. https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-hormuz-strait-war-july-14-2026-abd060c55feea216625689e57d8f76be

No more sacrilegious than, say, Jackie Chan issuing a singing album. I bet no one here thinks of Jackie Chan as a singer, yet he has 20 albums out thus far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Chan_discography Jackie Chan's first publicly released singing solo: Link to video

2 of the 3 farmers my land is rented to are MAGA. Both have good sized operations. The third never considered voting for Trump. He farms half my land.

Blanche referred to his state bar for possible disciplinary action.

@Axtremus I’d do that, too

Fake news! Everybody knows that it's not a real Thai restaurant if it doesn't display a portrait of the King of Thailand.

Interesting. I didn't realize the Seminoles were in Oklahoma too. Must have been trail of tears origin. I only recently found out that the Seminole nation owns Hard Rock Cafe.

@wtg thank you!

Blueberries, raspberries, and the yellow plums are now ripe in a friend’s yard. There will be JAM.

Another Vermont bread maker. Just north of Burlington. Wish I'd known when I went over to Burlington last fall, I might have looked for a loaf... which was probably sold out. Just amazing ... Link to video

They are the villain in the right to repair battle. Repairs being controlled mean those that grow the food would face higher costs. Timing is very important when growing and harvesting crops. A breakdown during crucial time and a wait for the dealer to repair would be disastrous.

Was raised in New Madrid County, Missouri. 200+ small quakes a year are measured there. I only felt the one that was a 3.2. The earthquake of 1811 was centered there. It rang church bells in Boston and made the Mississippi River run backwards.
