That Aud Smell Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 That doesn't look great. Hopefully, there's not too much damage. Also: How do you @LGR4GM get Tweets to embed now that the site is called X or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: How do you @LGR4GM get Tweets to embed now that the site is called X or whatever? I go to the tweet I want and in the lower right corner is the share option. I click share - copy link. Then I post it here and wait a few seconds for the forum to embed the tweet after I post it. It usually takes 2-5 seconds for the forum to actually do its embedding and if you post before that it doesn't work. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Twitter (X), if I copy a link to a Tweet on my phone and embed it as a reply Tweet, no graphic preview is generated. 4 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: I go to the tweet I want and in the lower right corner is the share option.

I'll also try waiting longer and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they move it out to the football stadium a couple years ago? Thankfully, the fire appears to have been limited to a freestanding ice cream (dip n dots?!) cart. I'm sure that there will be some smoke and water damage, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Also, shoutout @LGR4GM on being precise with how he embeds Tweets. I'll have to wait and see if that protocol can resolve my mobile interface issue as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 2 minutes ago, PASabreFan said: Well that's that. But speaking of dip n dots, weren't they originally billed as the ice cream of the future? It's been like 30 years at this point. Have they updated that label?

The polystyrene base the dip-n-dots are made of makes a lot of smoke when you burn it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Wow they’re estimating $600k in damages. We’re about to head down to the waterfront now so I’ll have to take a walk by and see if there’s any visible damage to the outside of the building. For those with bisons tix for tomorrow, the team will announce whether the game will go ahead or not later today after an assessment of damages. Damn dip n dots arnt even that good….

I'll have to wait and see if that protocol can resolve my mobile interface issue as well. Don't use the predictive text bar to paste. Tap where you're going to type your message then press and hold down until 'paste' appears. No idea why, but this seems to affect my phone. Might have to do with the keyboard I use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
