@plutus @johnserwach @rubecube12 @protecttruth That is likely a "crow funeral". When they see one of their own down (dead) they seem to summon huge flocks and fly around somewhat near the carcass in an agitated state like that.
I was in the middle of one once. Unbeknownst, a dead crow was on my rooftop. They were going nuts. I went up to have a look, and sure enough.

@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance decent 4100 call volume that came in last few days - should get a leg up but this is a 2/3 week process. Everyone still eyeing test of lows in Q1. We shall see - macro data too resilient and earnings ainβt that bad. Too much sideline long only money. Valuation calls are myopic imo.
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12
Inclined to agree, think we pullback today & probably into and maybe thru tomorrow. I think we can get as high as 4160 in that 2/3 wk time frame.

Pat Buchanan retires as GOP increasingly channels his 'America first' themes
As Republicans struggle through a rocky transition from being the party of business to that of the working class, a conservative pundit whose own trajectory anticipated that transformation 30 years ago is hanging up his pen.

Why the Pence classified documents spell trouble for Trump
@protecttruth @ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12
The garage documents i can see being packed by an aide, probably of little or no consequence. Documents can be given, and then later classified (frequently) - without knowing what they are, itβs difficult to say, but even Ms. Lindsey came to Bidenβs defense.
@johnserwach @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12
Yet Donny was chomping at the bit to come to the defense of Pence. Yes, so in keeping.

Classified shows direct Donnie/RasPutin tryst. No one wants to talk about it publicly even Biden. They wanna have it at their fingertip should the country fall into peril.

@ForeignSubstance Are you getting some snow there ? I heard its quite cold in S Korea.
@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
Korea completely different weather vs. Japan lol.
Korea is like freakin Maine. Japan is much more temperate ex/ Hokkaido.
@plutus @johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 We had fierce winds Tue evening here, but it was a dry front. -3 that night, but only -1 now. Our coldest time is very late Jan to ~Feb 10, about a month later than, say, Chicago.
@plutus @johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 Usually, if we get snow in Tokyo, it comes in this timeframe. But exceptions are possible of course. What happens is warm moist air starts gently moving north with the season, and lows can drag moisture up over the cold air; rain falls, then turns to snow at lower altitude.
@plutus @johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 We almost *never get snow from the north or west in Tokyo. It comes from the south, which is counterintuitive, like many things in Japan to Westerners. π On the Japan Sea side, or way up north, a whole different climate regime.
@rubecube12 @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance @plutus
Most of the snow here comes from south/southwest as well -
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @protecttruth @plutus The wind tipped over my BBQ rig on the rooftop Tues eve. So that was an insane blow. Almost like a typhoon, but cold and dry. About 20 min b4 sunrise now, and beautiful. Can see Mt Fuji so clearly. Zero clouds. But a chilly day today. Maybe 7 C but only for a couple of hours.
@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @protecttruth @plutus
Weβve got a break in our snow right now- building tops hidden in the mist.

@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus Hope I don't have to do a painstaking Windows rebuild. Created a universal restore CD, & can add drivers. Crucial, no problem. But the chipset drivers for the MB may be. Acronis found them, but balked about some EPIDGroupCertLegacy.cer file missing. This "error" prevents completion.
@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus So I went ahead with only the Crucial drivers on the CD, but the drivers for EVERYTHING on the SSD where the backup resides. I hope I can restore my Windows system & get it to boot, but less confident cuz of that "error".
@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus I know I should probably ask Acronis support about this, but my previous experiences with them have been (how shall I say?) experiences in futile redundant suggestions that don't work.
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @protecttruth @plutus If all else fails with Acronis, thinking I could use a command prompt to copy the chipset drivers into System32 Drivers/DriverStore
Then a reboot should not fail.
@protecttruth @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 @plutus
Seems like a tremendous amount of@hoops to jump through when you couldβve just gotten an external ssd, installed windows, nbooted to the external and transferred over butβ¦ ok!
@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus I have, a verified Windows system disk in backup form. I also have a complete, uncorrupted windows system in normal file format on another SSD. The old box wouldn't boot a "successful" restore.
@protecttruth @ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12
I get it- I think I opined that I βthinkβ you flashed the wrong bios to the MB. In which case your only option is to try to reflash it with a known good older bios. If that fails itβs a paperweight.
@johnserwach @protecttruth @plutus @rubecube12 The flashing thing was very weird. Went from 0802 to 3101. No boot. So went to (IIRC) 2103 or something. Still no boot, but the damn thing flashed (as it did to 3101), and that was the bios then. So I thought, "Hey, let's go back to 0802."
#FakeBios (according to EzFlash tool in the bios) ππ
@johnserwach @protecttruth @plutus @rubecube12 I have since come to understand that one cannot jump *some* intermediate bios upgrades, & that if you do, trouble. I was not aware of this before.
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12 oh, surprised the installer would let you do it, tbh
@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12 Me, too. A bios should have some kind of fail safe that won't allow an incorrect flash. Clearly, this is not or was not the case.
#IncreasingComputerHardwareSales πππ
@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12 The problem of course, gets to "time machine". π Bios utility cannot know the specifics of future bios versions.
