Checkers. You start with only one piece type and they go to the trouble to make all those squares and you only use half of 'em.

I can’t help myself, but I think I’ve got a spare hitchikers guide lying around here I can let you have. You can also have a towel if you want one.

Don’t know how long it would take to break into the safes and don’t want the cops to arrive early.

If in doubt, ^Z

If you need to move around faster, you could see about getting a squire to follow you bashing some coconut halves together. I hear it can be quite effective, if you can get your hands on one, that is.

Not sure this is what your asking, but the Auckland Symphony Orchestra played Sandstorm. https://youtu.be/H9r597vJbSQ .

Edit: Ive now realized orchestra and opera are different, but leaving the comment.

This is the last ad that had me paying full attention when it first came on. It was ran during the football finals season and they made two cuts, one for NRL and one for AFL. https://youtu.be/gbMeKMkE_mk

Thanks. It was RAID5, so “parity” drives gone.

Once the datas off, I’ll take out all deices and have a look around inside and see about the fans.

The nas isn’t the only storage on site, there’s a smaller bought new single drive nas, but it can’t store everything and some things went straight to the bit bucket.

I’m liking your plan. Something like a 10gb, and run it single plus probably keep two 3’s as raid 1 and manually copy data between them.

Agent 86 had to use something similar. https://youtu.be/TFlNr8JpwCo

Looks awfully like one of the bandits who engaged in shenanigans on the enterprise during the baryon sweep.

And a very helpful protocol droid.

A group of rangers seek your assistance in liberating some animals from a hidden facility where they’re being used as test subjects for new spells.

Roll for perception.

Episode 9. I saw Episode 7 at the movies and I was pretty happy walking out and it dawned on me that I’d seen it before.

I borrowed the DVD of episode 8 and pushed through.

It’s one of life’s greatest mysteries.

I just remembered something else which can remove the requirement for soldering.

A breadboard is a prototyping board where components can be plugged in and wires used to join different areas and make circuits. It’s common in kits for kids to learn about electronics but could also be used for a long term solution.

If you went to an electronics store like jaycar, and said " I’m looking to make a project where a plug pack holds open a relay open so when the power goes out and it closes to complete a battery powered circuit with a buzzer" then they should be able to sort you out with something.

And on second thoughts you do want a resistors between the plug packs and relay and the battery and piezo. If you don’t then it could use up more electricity to run.

I don’t know of anything commercially, but I have an idea of where to go.

I’m not sure exactly what you’re after, so let’s say I am living with someone who needs medical equipment to live and it needs.mains power and it’s for breathing support or whatever. If there was an extended power outage in the middle of the night, bad stuff might happen if the equipment wasn’t manually switched over to battery.

I could make something up using customized components bought from a hobby electronics store.

I would buy a low voltage plug pack, say 9 volts and this would plug into the wall and connect to a low voltage relay kit.

Relays have a common point and a normally open point and a normally closed point. Without power you can run an electrical current through common and normally closed. With power, this changes. The electrical pathway between normally closed and common is broken and common is connected to normally open.(or vice versa, been a while)

The shop sells a low voltage relay kit which I would connect to the plug pack and when it’s powered, flips the relay.

I’d wire up a secondary circuit, connecting normally open and common to a battery and piezo buzzer. When the power goes off, the relay flips and buzzer makes noise.

I’d also consider wiring a LED up to the battery as a way to confirm it still has energy and check the batteries monthly and replace yearly or so.

I would have to solder some wires and components to do this, but it wouldn’t need an electricians license here as it’s a low voltage component.

Hope it helps.

Edit: from the website jaycar.com.au, sample parts are:-

Mini piezo buzzer 3-16v dc 12v dc relay card kit ( picture and description doesn’t show me if it has wiring I’d need, but I think so) 12V DC 400mA Ultra-Slim Power Supply 7DC Plugs 4AA battery holder.

I’d also ask the staff for advice when Id go to buy the stuff as you probably want a resistor somewhere in both circuits.

I wonder what Alan Turing would think of this.

Will it still fit in the the square hole?.

Well, Knooks haven’t yet become mainstream. Someone coded up a mod for chess where Knooks are pieces that move like Horseys and Rooks.
