We know that we can add sails to a tanker and fuel is saved so why not wave energy to propel the ship by energy converted to electrical for the prop motor.

How did I miss the topic?

Mars soils have had compression for build with an issue that moister would tend to cause it to lose the binding ability. Sulfur was used to make the iron adhere in the experiments.

Estetics are something that takes place in the pictures to make it appeasing to the eye. It does not always conform to physic or logic.

Just keep trhrowing money at it until it sticks...

Gateway: Humanity’s Lunar Habitat Takes Shape

AA1nhj93.img?w=768&h=470&m=6

Jointly undertaken by leading space agencies, including NASA, ESA, JAXA, and CSA, with support from private entities like SpaceX, Maxar, and Northrop Grumman, Gateway heralds a new era in lunar exploration. Serving as a staging post for Artemis missions and potentially future Mars expeditions, Gateway holds immense promise for advancing our understanding of the cosmos.

Yes, I could have done more but the banned table on the clone is not established and there is no point for it.
Same for the test id's as they can remain in the banned so as to keep them locked when we are ready, I can set all of the normal users back to active or inactive under the change before doing a backup of the data before we take the site down and re-establish it on the newer platform.

To identify I must remove the ban on the members that are to be moved and then I must change the group that the user is a part of. Most of these are members once we restore the ability and allow for a couple posts so as to stop spamming accounts that remain.

I have tested the ban and remove functions and will need to change the user admin messages as well.

I have been able to add a new forum user category as In "InActive" and did set it to require it to pass the newly registered to get back to a normal state. The user can be selected and placed into this group from the admin controls in the user list functions within the clone environment.

Mine as well has shingles that were done in 2005 along with the sheathing as it had partially rotted since its construction.
At that time Fema did give money for the event that caused damage due to the continuous rain that we saw fora dozen days straight. It was just not enough even when doing the work for the replacement by myself.

15 Clever Tricks to Cut Your Energy Bill This Month

According to Forbes, the average household in the U.S. pays $429.33 per month on utility bills. Although steep, you don’t have to pay over $400 a month for water and electricity. There are plenty of clever ways to cut your energy costs.

Seems that the admin_groups.php has been fixed in the clone currently as the table that was missing is available for changes in profiles of the users to be reassigned with.

Not all can afford loans and look to getting grants or other for free options.
'Will they be able to take our home?': This Houston couple got tricked into a contract — to pay up to $67K — for 'free' solar panels. Here are 3 legit ways to get cash back for going green

When a deal sounds too good to be true, it very well may be. Bernard and Tasa Mosley, a retired couple from Houston, Texas, learned that lesson the hard way when they fell for a scam offering free solar panels.

Texas Is Running Out Of Electricity

Ercot, the energy company that operates much of Texas’s electricity grid, announced there could be a problem on April 29. On the 27, it announced, “At 14:30, ERCOT has updated the AAN for a possible future Emergency Condition of reserve capacity deficiency beginning Monday, April 29, 2024, at HE 20:00 through Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at HE 21:00 based on changed conditions.” In layman’s terms, the grid could reach capacity, and some customers might not have service. And it is only April. The summer will be much worse.

According to Bloomberg, August power prices were forecast to rise by 82% compared to last year. The news service also pointed out that the amount of sun and wind a day could affect electricity supply because of the use of renewable energy. This shows that, while renewables may be good for the environment, they create challenges that coal-powered electricity may not.

I though my price was bad but that sort of increase would be really bad.

Well, I am back from the second side of the Volvo, and it went smoothly just as the first had with more rain showers. Have taken a few minutes to look at the front pads and they seem thick enough to go for a little while but will need changing later in the year.

Got an exhaust link right at the flanges for the down flex pipe and the first resonator as they are mostly gone so will need a least expensive solution for this which may mean welding or clamping in a replacement section after hacking the flanges from both sections.

Found power steering is leaking from what appears to be the pump seal on the shaft, so will need to wash all of the excess fluid off to be able to be sure of it. It's an added cost that I really do not need but can do once I buy a replacement pump.

Good to see that AI is good for this work of code issues.

Not sure where the statics are coming from but will see what I can later.

#1767 Re: Meta New Mars » Azure Test Environment for Software upgrades » 2024-04-28 08:42:18

That change seems to have worked as the table of profiles that are possible is present will now change you to admin in your profile on the clone so you can see what I see.
Since I do not have web master or site admin I am not able to get to the actual files that are the backbone to the forums. So, I am rallying on all of the source code sights and web browsers development tools to be able to see the code.

Apparently, I was already able to make that change in the username profile even while it was broken.

I will look at the other functions later.

#1768 Re: Meta New Mars » phpBB3 Demonstration Forum on Azure » 2024-04-28 08:35:05

Have come it for a bite of cereal for fuel for the body while taking a break due to rain down pour as I finished the first side of the car.

Will definitely look at the forums's as it sort of fun to learn programing diagnosing once more.

#1769 Re: Meta New Mars » phpBB3 Demonstration Forum on Azure » 2024-04-27 20:10:39

I think the category are set correctly now as I went into the admin control panel and selected the manage forums, selected the edit for the project followed by setting the permissions to same as meta. It was slow so its not known it\f the same changes worked for the home energy.

Will see if they can be updated tomorrow.
Good night hopefully the weather will be fair as I am doing the back brake pads on the Volvo.

#1770 Re: Meta New Mars » Housekeeping » 2024-04-27 19:56:22

Nice it made it in so no worries but sure was slow as it took a couple of tries.

#1771 Re: Meta New Mars » Housekeeping » 2024-04-27 18:22:30

yes, that way I can continue with learning about the permissions so as to set the topics and forums correctly.

#1772 Re: Meta New Mars » Housekeeping » 2024-04-27 18:10:01

Seems that I am not able to log into the phpbb3 board and that the forgot password is not functioning.

I finally remembered to choose a moderator and to change a user to a group is done under the user's profile for the clone.

#1773 Re: Meta New Mars » phpBB3 Demonstration Forum on Azure » 2024-04-27 18:02:31

I am unable to log into the phpbb3 board and the I forgot does not seem to be working.

#1774 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » Wave Power Associated Systems » 2024-04-27 12:44:43

Since we are also dealing with tide height we must have a means to adjust the way the device moves up and down over that time period.

I have seen a dock as being a platform that can allow for tolerating this.

in the clone I am missing the admin drop down and the ability for adding groups.
that should be part of this table.
