What are your plans for March 29th?

[BudAshes]

Going to work so I will not notice.

You don't get paid to nef?

 

[sdifox]

ZOMG it's alive!

 

[Stiff Clamp]

So we're back on our bullshit? (so to speak)

guess transitioning to a new host is something to schedule for daytime work hours - not afterhours, like software upgrades?

It was after hours in UK I guess?

Sorry about all this trouble everybody, but I was told that when I do wake from the medically-induced coma this afternoon, you will all be back in place as you were before...well, hopefully.

There's a chance that Boomer will now be a 10 year-old girl and Mayne will have a sudden distaste for weed but his vision will be completely restored to the point where he can actually see through time.

Dude...

 

[BudAshes]

Dude...

Well do you feel any sudden urges to make a dancing TikTok video?

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Blink.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Breathe... it's gonna be ok.

I never said it was a PC? I was working with what I thought was non live wiring on my house. My mobile doesn't get good reception where I'm at and I needed to use the landline to call someone. The chat went on for longer than I'd planned and I lost trackof what I had to do after going and doing other things. A careless mistake.

I could blame it on getting older but I did something similar at the last home I owned in 2017 when I stuck a tool into place of what I assumed was a shut off mains. That one was punchy and caused me to fall down onto my back. It's nothing like being thrown several meters like in film. Maybe a more powerful current would be needed. I was sitting on the floor with this one and saw the spark before I felt and tasted it. Given my health issues last year I thought I'd go to hospital to have myself checked out in case something was amiss. In my youth I did a paid apprentice with a good electrician who taught me enough to do basic home rewiring and wiring stuff up. I wasn't poking blindly.

And this weekend I was cooking and forgot to turn off the heat before I added a specific ingredient that will cause a terrible boilover. I spent the rest of the day cleaning crud off my stove and floor. It could be worse, it could have been a gas stove.

Might be good to get into the habit of double-checking with a non-contact voltage detector before you touch the wiring

BRB, gonna convert to Christianity real quick so I can pray like hell that the answer is "no".

 

[brianmanahan]

weird, i somehow went 5 hours without opening ATOT so i didn't even notice

but now i notice that the favicon is missing!

 

[Torn Mind]

Was in court from 9am till 4:30, and will go back tomorrow to finish the hearing.

It's my mother's case, and this gives an opportunity to compile some key evidence.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Does AT have a merch store, I want a "I Survived the March 29th 2023 Forum Outage" tshirt.

 

[Mai72]

I'll be praying to the Buddha.

 

[Captante]

Slept through the entire "event" lol.

 

[A///]

NOT

Only forgot to check after being distracted. I finished the rest of the work once I got the all clear from the er and finally got into bed late sunday night. I've got more work to do but I'll be hiring out as it involves more work, specifically outside work I can't do. I need to finish most of the work by June. Rest of the grounds is fine but I'll be tilling most of the land and fixing it before reseeding and introducing low effort plants and bushes. Ideally sell it within the next decade and finally retire to the middle of nowhere or back home. I'm considering installing an electric car charger for my future self and the next owner. I need to see if I can get any rebate local or federal for that install.

as a matter of fact I have one that works. I'll be using it from now on, double checking and possibly running an old school device on a nearby line that can only be turned off by unplugging to be on the safe side.

Dude...

Apologies. But, to clarify, are you disappointed with your new role, or that Mayne has retained his previous persona?

 

[BoomerD]

ANOTHER one? Not after the FBI raided me and took down the last one. I an "TikTok free."

 

[BoomerD]

Mayne has destroyed way too many brain cells to ever again be considered...well...human.
As for my new role...let's just roll with it.

Okay, having lived with it for a day, I can honestly say that the Similar Threads feature sucks dogs' balls. I checked preferences and there appears to be no way to deactivate it.

 

[Muse]

Forums down for 5 hours. How will you cope?

I did my 3 hour radio show in the afternoon after spending 4 hours editing station spots.

Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but things look and act different and I have yet to experience anything at the forums since early in the week that I think is an improvement. Things I could count on before aren't working as I expect.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I don't have an issue with the similar threads feature, but perhaps it would be a good idea to set a limit of how old a thread can be. Ex: go by last reply, and no older than a year.
