LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - I-75 is closed in Laurel County for a report of an active shooter situation.

>The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office says law enforcement is looking for Joseph A. Couch, 32. He is a person of interest in the shooting. The sheriff’s office says he is considered armed and dangerous.

The forces behind the relentless land movement plaguing Rancho Palos Verdes appear to be more complicated, and possibly more widespread, than originally thought — forcing the city to once again rethink how it can limit some of the mounting damage.

SANTA FE –Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham today announced a new initiative to encourage medical professionals in Texas to consider relocating to New Mexico.

The “Free to Provide” campaign includes the deployment of billboards and full-page advertisements in five major Texas newspapers to highlight New Mexico’s commitment to protecting the full spectrum of health care, including abortion access.

In July, six billboards with the slogan “Free to Provide” were placed in strategic locations around the Houston Medical Center encouraging healthcare professionals to consider relocating to New Mexico. On Sunday, the campaign expanded to include full-page ads in the Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, San Antonio Express-News, Austin American-Statesman and Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

I can't get researchers interested, but in the 4+ years I've been working on this myself, the higher the elevation I'm at the better I feel.

Just tried 10k feet for a month and it's better than 8k. If I could try 12k, I would. I did more hiking steps than ever in July, and on steep terrain.

I'm wondering if cells in a hypoxic situation are less useful to the virus we now know* resides in neurons of LC carriers.

I still have ridiculous sinus production at times that tries to drown me, various attacks on my organs, etc.

I remember living in the desert and people were there because a family member had TB and they moved there. Perhaps mountain climate will be recognized as a tonic for LC some day.

If anyone wants help, I'll try, but I'm doing lots of things at once, mostly unchanged.

"Three German tourists have been accused of defacing various parts of Joshua Tree National Park last weekend, adding to the California destination’s ongoing battle with vandalism.

On August 4, a ranger patrolling the popular Jumbo Rocks Campground noticed “fresh” yellow paint splattered all over park infrastructure, according to a news release from the National Park Service. After more rangers were called to investigate the area, NPS said they found and questioned a group of tourists who admitted to shooting paint with paintball markers and slingshots. Both are considered weapons and prohibited in the area. When rangers searched the visitor's car, they discovered three slingshots, a paintball marker and other equipment.

At least 11 signs along Park Boulevard from Jumbo Rocks campground to the Maze Trailhead were defaced, the release said. Each person received a violation notice for firing paintballs on signs, bathrooms and dumpsters, which could lead to a maximum fine of $5,000 and up to six months in prison. "

I have a foldable 120w one with 4 panels in sewn cloth. Gust blew it and the little plastic anti-tug box broke so wires could move.

Still worked, but one day the watts were halved.

Examined wires closely, not easy because most of that little protective box still in place, but it looked like they twisted around each other in there, so I untwisted and glued anti-tug fitting to case so it can't turn again.

Today broke two mounts of the little box so I can see wires clearly, two stranded leads with what looks like a can cap in between and the remains of a foam strip that looks like it went in between.

Still puts out half wattage at about 24v, but I'm wondering if wires under the fabric case are disconnected. It used to put out more than the rated 120w, I've seen 138w on the battery boxes meter.

My thinking is either open the case seam to see in, or assume a panel or two shorted and are lost anyway, leave alone and be happy it works at all.

One thing I don't know what happens when solar panels short, if that's what happened. I do have a DVM and could check resistance, but without disassembly it would be cumulative.

Or the twisting could have disconnected one or more panels, they're supposedly wired in series and its putting out like it would on an overcast day. In which case I might be able to reconnect them.

Bluetti is nice enough superficially but I'm sure I'm unlikely to get tech info out of them. They're very Apple-like is dealing with consumers.

(BTW, they will sell your email address to multiple marketers promoting "sales" of bluetti products after a purchase. Not a lot, but the sender addresses are always different.)

I have a Nextcloud v24.xx install on shared hosting, good host that would probably help, but I want to learn. I hve looked through the Nextcloud site and my OS/browsers are deemed too old. I can run MX KDE off a stick but not for long because it runs the fans hard on my old MBP (2009).

I've had an issue with the internal GUI updater getting stuck on Step 3 for a long time. There was a file to remove so I could try again, which I did back then in the v25 days, but it kept stopping at Step 3, and I've been ill, so I let it go.

Now I look and NC is on v28? And I now have a little time. I have SSH access and the cPanel terminal available, and when Softalicious did the install I chose the db name and can find that info and have PHP MyAdmin access.

But I am not certain about some things, one being that I see advice out there to update one version at a time, which seems like it'll be a long slog if it can be done at all, since I'm on 24.xx now.

Softalicious, BTW, also could not do the update back then and then at a certain point told me it was too many versions behind instead of just failing with no explication.

I'd either like to update in one swoop, or save my data/db and do a new install and import my data from a backup and point it to the db. I'm assuming there were database changes along the way and a 24.x db might not import.

Suggestions welcomed, anything I learn I'll post if helpful.
