    Isn't that part of Kroger's umbrella? Down here, we have mainly Kroger, Publix, or Wal/Sam's/Costco. Anyhow, between Kroger and Publix deli fried chicken, Publix is easily the winner.

    Publix. We still have them in my neck of the woods. Expensive, but they carry things that other stores do not. That's great when a recipe calls for something very specific. They'll have it *most* of the time....but not all of the time.

    Didn't have a Publix up in WA, not while I was there. Kroger closed down and left us with Fred Meyer and Safeway.

    Trying to find a thread here on the Polk forums using Vanilla's "advanced search" tool. Here's one of the results:

    I guess that all my base are belong to them, too. :#;)

    mmm.. it is worse than that!
    I found the right URL, but the link maps to @SeleniumFalcon's profile page?!

    Here's the thread I sought: https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/194476
    73mz9wm5fj2p.png

    Here's what pops up when I follow that link

    PS It's actually a thread I started :o about the Samsung HD FM tuner I have -- pretty benign stuff, so I sincerely doubt that it got vanilla-nanny'd(???).
    :#

    Thoughts?

    Is that an older thread? Pre-vanilla, or before they switched the forum address?
    EDIT: Did some checking. You can go to the Electronics subforum and go all the way to page 11 (in the past) and the thread shows up there in the listings, but click on it and it goes to Selenium's profile. The thread before and after work just fine as well as all the others I checked.
    Interestingly, all the threads starting on Page 12 give that One Target message.
    Are we loosing our older threads to some kind of auto-archive? Hope not. 2021 isn't really that old for this place.
    Edit 2: I was wrong about "all" of the threads on page 12. It seems to be only threads with a web link in the thread or something. Vanilla is trying to open an external page instead of the thread. Something is corrupted in the code.

    Also, no worries about old stuff missing. Go to page 576 and there are still threads from 2002 that you can read.

    There has been some weird things happening today with the time a post has been posted. Some times it shows & other times there is no time. Just year & month. Strange.

    As I posted in another thread, it looks like YEAR MONTH, but there are instances like 2024 26 that make no sense

    Wait, what? Ed Zachary's pooch's back door got hammered?
    That sounds terrible.
    I mean, unless Fido's into that sort of thing, of course.

    Tom

    When stationed at Ft. Bragg, in the 70's, we didn't have a Publix to grocery shop. That's when we were introduced to Kroger, would love either one of them here in Laramie. We have a Safeway and a Ridley's, both are pretty much same same... meh.

    Listen Up Government!!! Hire Beavers!

    Beavers Completed a $1M Dam Project in 2 Days: They “Always Know Best”

    8wauomqc6oa7.png

    Beavers know a thing or two about efficiency — and this story is evidence of that. Last week, a beaver colony in the Brdy region of the Czech Republic cut out the middlemen and built several dams right where they were needed, all in the span of about two days. For context, the local government had a plan in the works since 2018 to restore waterways in the area, but the animals essentially beat them to it.
    ​
    “They built the dams without any project documentation and for free,” Bohumil Fišer, head of the Brdy Protected Landscape Area Administration, said in a translated statement, per Radio Prague International. He added that the beavers saved the government around 30 million Czech crowns — the equivalent of $1.2 million.
    ​
    The beavers’ craftwork will go a long way, benefiting the rare stone crayfish, frogs, and other wetland species. “Beavers always know best,” added Jaroslav Obermajer, head of the Central Bohemian Office of the Czech Nature and Landscape Protection Agency. “The places where they build dams are always chosen just right — better than when we design it on paper.
