Maybe I am missing something, but just adding weights to the lighter blades to balance everything out seems be the solution.
There are lots of how-to's out there for how to balance ceiling fans with weighted clips, you should be able to adapt the process to your specific needs.
Damn that's insulting, putting B5 and Andromeda on the same level. And I say that as someone who enjoyed the first 1.5 seasons of Andromeda.
The worst B5 episodes are vastly better than anything in the last three years of Andromeda.
Unfortunately nearly every graph on that page is intentionally misleading. If you actually adjust the graphs for inflation (where it's relevant), 1971 looks like just another year.
Lying with statistics!
Oh man, I haven't seen uuencode in so long, I basically forgot it existed until I read your comment!
Forgot the one everyone wishes they could forget - FTPS !
Might be worth noting that SCP is non- interactive file transfer only, whereas FTP/SFTP can do interactive sessions and management functions as well.
Go to Moscow, hang a left. When you hit the North Pole, head south...not, not that south, the other one! The other other one. After a bit, take another left for a couple hours, and you'll arrive at your destination on the right.
Lol, really? One can't control the fact that bad things happen. The west isn't forcing either China or Russia to claim territory that doesn't belong to them.
However, one can control how one reacts to said events. Help out where we can, and strengthen ourselves for the future.
There's that whole proverb about crisis=danger+opportunity. The danger is there regardless...if you fail to seize the opportunity presented, well, you are pretty much guaranteed to come out the other side worse off.
Very few people WANT a war in Ukraine. But as China keeps adding dashes to their map, it's pretty clear there's a reasonable chance to be an even bigger war around the corner, whether we want it or not.
The Ukraine war woke the west up from its slumber, and it has allowed us to put the old stuff stuff cluttering our closets to good use, as well as test some new weapons concepts, and to get ourselves ready for the bigger conflict on the horizon.
If we are really lucky, China is looking at Ukraine and having second thoughts about kicking the hornets nest at all, saving a lot of lives on both sides.
If we are not that lucky, then Ukraine has allowed us to be much better prepared for the coming conflict.
So am I glad Ukraine happened? Not a bit. Can I see the silver lining thru the clouds? For sure.
I think it's been made pretty clear between Andor and Ashoka that the Old Republic, the Empire, and the New Republic are all essentially the same bureaucracy at their cores, just with different leadership and priorities at the top.
It's really showing the banality of evil...people continue to do their jobs and following orders of whoever the current bosses are. By and large, they can't directly see whether their own actions are used for good or evil, the paperwork must continue to flow regardless.
That's why there isn't a ton of chaos when one galactic government supplants the next. Setting up an all-new galaxy-spanning bureaucracy is extremely hard, why not just do some loyalty oaths and let the existing machinery keep on chugging along.
Pretty much. China is pretty good at buying friends....when they aren't busy stealing their stuff..
I don't get why China allows their fishing fleets to keep shitting on their international reputation. It's so counterproductive.
Perhaps add in the viewpoint of the "rancher" carnivore.
Ranching tech has bred pretty mindless prey animals that can be raised and slaughtered for food as needed, no hunting necessary. These prey aren't sentient anymore, so is killing them for food wrong?
I get that Ukraine won't consider the possibility of ceding any territory, nor should they. They probably don't like their allies even mentioning it.
But, there's the separate issue of not being able to join NATO with ongoing territorial disputes. Without much context to go on, I would almost interpret this as something more along the lines of "Ukraine could join NATO tomorrow if the dispute went away (by whatever method)".
I suppose it's the natural result of wanting to keep the show on as long as possible, when you've only got one good idea for the story arc. You need a lot of filler.
I'd like to see more shows done in the style of Babylon 5, where the creator had the whole 5 years written out from day 1. There was very little in the show that felt like filler or treading water.
Which also may explain why books are being brought to TV more frequently these days. But, TV showrunners have a bad habit of taking a good novel and totally mangling it in the translation to TV, so it's not a guaranteed win.
Tanium has some common apps pre-packaged and regularly updated, you could just setup an ongoing deployment for those to automate keeping them up to date with minimal work on your part.
If you need to update something not on that list, you will need to make an upgrade package yourself with the updated installer or files.
Whether this is actually easy or not really depends on the app vendor and the software. It's usually straight forward, but not always. But that's the case with literally any software deployment solution.
I have one app in particular who's install and config essentially un-automateable. But it's a shitty LOB app that was written in the 90's to be intentionally obtuse to prevent privacy, hopefully that's not an issue in your case.
We are using Tanium, just put the agent on the servers and you are good to go...build your packages and set up deployment jobs.
It also handles Windows patching, and can do system inventory, among other features.
It's also great for software deployments to you remote workforce systems that are rarely/never on the corporate network.
And seriously, you want a domain. GPOs are incredibly useful for pushing out a huge variety of Windows config changes extremely easily.
I generally find watching in release order tends to work better than chronological order at least the first time thru. The episodes are written assuming you aware of future events depicted in previous shows, if you aren't they tend to lose a lot of their impact.
Congrats for getting thru TAS, I have tried and I just can't.
The Empire focused half of the show that was mostly made up specifically for the show is EXCELLENT tho, and really worth watching.
They should have just stuck with that and called the show Empire IMHO. Would have been an instant classic.
Frankly, you'll enjoy Foundaton more if you don't read the books first. Otherwise, you'll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)
