That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I have never once clicked on the Home tab, now I'm going to explore the rest of the site, ha ha.

Ryan,
Question...
On the 'Plant Types' and 'Hide Types' pie charts, why did you switch colors on the types for each chart. It's seems a little confusing. Just my nit-picky two cents worth!

🙃

I'm not really sure, to tell you the truth. I have some sort of vague memory that I had basically used "rainbow colors" on both charts originally, but when red was the first color and used for "traditionals" (the "first" type of letterbox), people complained that the charts used too much red--which tends to look like an error or mistake or something. So I think I reversed one of them.

But honestly, I'm not even sure if that's true or if I'm just imagining it.

I've gone ahead and tweaked the code so both charts will show up in reserve-rainbow colors, though. The charts are generated each night (I think) with a cron job so you won't see the change immediately, but the next time it runs, they'll both use the reverse rainbow order color so red doesn't take up the biggest chunk of both pie charts.

Watership Down. It's a slow, cozy read. Perfect for late Autumn.

These people are wrong, of course. ☺️ Red is a great color! My favorite in fact.

That aside, I don't understand what "reserve-rainbow colors, cron job" means but I would think that if I'm looking for, say, event boxes, it makes sense that I would be looking for the same color on each pie chart, no? Or is that what you meant?

I just finished a themed stamp for the event box. Hope we see several boxers at this casual meet-up in the heart of the SMU area.

I’m excited to chat about this hobby and do some exchanges. My sig and personal are ready!

Visit Dallas for some holiday shopping and stop by the event for coffee or tea and definitely a pastry! 😉

I meant to post "reverse-rainbow color", not "reserve"-rainbow color. Instead of red to purple, I used purple to red.

But I do agree that it is more logical to use the same color for each element on each pie chart.

A cron-job is just something that I have the system run automatically over a set period of time. AQ runs all sorts of stuff in the background. It'll check if remotely-hosted clues have changed since the last time the clue was checked (it'll do this throughout the day and night). It'll run backups of the database. (It does this once each night.) Once per week a cron job runs that selects the Box of the Week.

And in this case, there's a cron job that (I think) runs every night that will update the graphs with the latest data. AQ uses external software to generate the graphs and they often have limits about how much I can call them or how often I can call them, so I use cron jobs to generate the data once per day so I don't run into those sorts of limits, and it's not so time critical that it needs to be updated every minute or anything.

Ryan,

Thank you for addressing this and I hope it didn't cause you extra trouble. I was more curious than anything.

But I do appreciate your taking the time to explain it - ignorance fought.

Hoping you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I really wish I could attend this. I have family in Dallas (I'm from there originally) and it would great to see them and make this too. My schedule won't allow it, I'm afraid... but a boy can dream. 😊

I hope you have a successful meet up !

This year, I'm thankful for people who have spoken up for democracy, so I just sent snail-mail thank-you notes to some lawmakers who have been especially courageous. I hope other folks will consider doing the same as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the U.S.

We will schedule more in the coming months!

If I'm ever headed that way, Ill give you a heads up.

I am most thankful for family and friends, but that's not a political board comment. I am thankful to live in a country where new leaders can be elected. And I am thankful in advance that election results next November will bring about a new direction for our country.

1. Found HH with no log book. All it says on the back of the stamp is skis #3.

The image is the word 'SKIS'.

The only thing I found was here

But reading the comments, that is not it. Im guessing it was from a series of HH's.

What would you do with it?

2. I found a HH that has log book
Owner: kity cat & Karl.
Title: 'Smoking Sherlock'.
Date: 2/15/05

On the back page it says 'unlisted on AQ". (i checked the other site and nothing their either.

I checked the first and last few finders and it seems they never logged it.

Any suggestions on what to with it?

Stamp it, put it in another letterbox. Move on.
Not everything needs to be logged online.

Plenty of older boxes (traditional & HH) were never listed on a website that had logging options.

I agree with RIclimber. If you absolutely must log it, log it as unlisted and move it on.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and happy birthday to my lb birthday twins today!

Trump can't but the Supreme Court can.

I realize this is technically off the topic but you brought it up...

Do you know any trans people? Do you have any idea what it might be like to be trans?

I do. I am trans. I am not delusional, I have known since I was single digits in age in the 1960s, I didn't know what it was, I found out when I was 12 in a psychology book. Do you think we haven't been through therapy? Do you think we want to be trans? Do you honestly think it is a choice? It's years of therapy before you can get hormones let alone any surgeries. You think I and other trans people are crazy. How dare you! You really have no idea and yet you think we are nuts.

Try telling a lefty they are really a righty faking being left handed. That is what anti-trans people do.

LGTBQ Group here in the Boards

Regarding Gender Confirming Surgeries (Sex Change is out of date terminology and honestly derogative), the military spends more on Viagra than confirmation surgeries. Is Viagra needed to be an effective soldier?

Uuuuuu. That’s a good one. You people. God bless ya.

There is a lot of hate in your blessed little heart.

Harboring hate only builds walls around yourself—no one ever finds peace behind them.

Happy Thanksgiving and happy birthday! 🎉

That thread on Same Sex Marriage got moved from this group to It's Politics as Usual. Who is this "narocks" person? When he added to a post about trans people being delusional, of course I wasn't going to let it rest.

Just FYI, this is a public board, so everyone who hasn’t ignored this board can see posts to it.

It got moved because it morphed into more of a general discussion on politics and Trump.

I’m not sure what that means.

He’s someone who has a right to express their opinion whether we like it or not.

Yet that is exactly what you did. To intentionally stir the pot. Really hard to take you seriously. But may God Bless you richly :)

It is human instinct to question and distrust others who do not fit in to the pack mentality of "normal." This is more common in youth, as most adults have outgrown this outdated survival instinct and replaced it with more advanced executive function reasoning. Yet many adults feel safer clinging to the narrow definitions of normal as set forth by their equally myopic peers. There is a sense of security in pack mentality. And it avoids the troublesome chore of independent thought.
