Post Race!

I love working with my hands, unfortunately I'm about as successful with what I'm fixing as Tim Allen is in Home Improvement.

When it comes to sprinkler valves, I always dread it. The valves I installed over 20 years back are no longer manufactured. If something fatal were to happen to one of the valves, I'd have to dig up a fair amount of ground to completely replace a valve. So far, every issue has been a diaphragm issue, and those are still the same in newer valves.

The digging would be made worse by the fact that there is a patio over parts of where I would have to excavate, so it would take even more effort.

Still, grabbing a massive earthworm when you weren't expecting anything to be there...is a bit of a surprise.

who rated

this

just 3 stars?!?

btw is this where all powerposters come from :p

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the Chit-Chat doesn't count towards your post count.

This is where power posters go to...get bored.

And post board.

I had forgotten what my Post Race count was. As it turns out, if that count were added to my post total....it wouldn't really make much difference. If all the REST of my chit-chat comments were added in, that would probably add a fair amount.

My day has been derailed.

Is "My Day" the name of a train?

I was looking at a picture of a train when I wrote that. I don't think it was related.

What was the catalyst for the derailment?

Lack of any reason to stay on the rails, as far as I can remember.

I'm working on an app right now that allows users to select .torrent files from the internet archive and then have them playback using an full blown audio player on their phone.

Really the issue I'm running into is A) it is difficult to play .torrent files and B) I am running into CORS errors when downloading the file through my app. Unfortunately I don't think that B is solvable without running some sort of server and offloading that to the server which is unfortunate since I want this to be a serverless application.

CORS you run into problems.

9 times out of 10, CORS errors aren't actually CORS errors. However, this is one of those rare cases where it is a legit CORS error.

The only time I ran into a CORS error, it really was a CORS error. That's not really the area I work in, but that was a legit CORS error.
