An elderly man was having hearing problems and went to see a specialist. The doctor fitted him with some hearing aids that brought his hearing back to full strength.
After a few weeks the man came back to make sure the new equipment was working properly, which it was.
The hearing specialist said, "It all seems perfect. Your family should be delighted you can hear everything now."
"Oh no," the man responded. "I haven't told any of them. I just sit quietly, listening carefully. I've changed my will four times."

Ms Straightlace was in the midst of her third period, third grade Math class one Thursday when she addressed the class:"Now children, there are four crows sitting on a fence. If you take your gun and shoot one, how many are left?"Little Johnny quickly raised his hand. Ms S. Called on him: "Yes, Johnny?"Johnny said, "None! They'd all fly away!"Ms S. laughed and said, "Well, Johnny, the correct answer is three. But I like the way you're thinking!"Johnny then asked, "Mind if I ask you a question?" She laughed and said, "Of course you can ask a question!"Johnny said, "Okay, there are three women in an ice cream shop. One is biting her cone; one is licking her cone, and one is sucking her cone. Which one's married?"Surprised, she replied, "Um, I don't know....the one sucking her cone?"Johnny smiled and said, "No, the one with the wedding ring, but I like the way you're thinking!"

Teacher: "If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "Let me put it to you differently. If I gave you two apples, and another two apples and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Six." Teacher: "Good. Now if I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?" Johnny: "Seven!" Teacher: "Johnny, where in the heck do you get seven from?!" Johnny: "Because I've already got a freaking cat!"

YOYO@HOME / Yoyo tasks crashing on Linux
Last post by jave808 - November 09, 2024, 11:36:15 AM
Hi
I'm having some trouble with Yoyo tasks on Linux Mint.

The tasks start and seem to be crunching well, but then when I come back after an hour or so, all crunching has stopped. It's like the PC has rebooted but it hasn't!

I go to open Boinc Manager, and it tells me that there is no boinc-client to connect to.

Where would I find the log files to tell me why boinc-client has crashed? I'm running version 8.0.4 from a PPA to get the latest version. My other PC (the 1950x) hasn't crashed and it's running Linux Mint as well with version 7.x.x

EDIT/UPDATE: I removed the PPA and restored the previous version 7.24.1 from the repositories. I will see how it goes.

A lady is giving a party for her granddaughter, and has gone all out---caterer, band, and a hired clown. Just before the party starts, two guys show up looking for a handout. Feeling sorry for them, the woman tells them that they can get a meal if they will chop some firewood. Gratefully, they head to the rear of the house.

Guests arrive, and all is going well with the children having a wonderful time. But the clown has not shown up, and finally, the clown calls to report that he is stuck in traffic, and will probably not make the party at all. The woman is very disappointed and unsuccessfully tries to entertain the children herself.

She happens to look out the window and sees one of the guys doing cartwheels across the lawn. She watches in awe as he swings from tree branches, does midair flips, and leaps high in the air. She calls the other guy over and says, "What your friend is doing is absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating this performance for the children at
]"Well...," he responds, "I dunno...let me ask him... HEY WILLIE...FOR $50 WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"
