IFArchive outage on Tuesday, Jan 24th

The Archive machine is being moved to a different room, and it may be down all day. (It might be down for just a few minutes, but office moves at universities, well, no bets on everything going perfectly.)

If you expect to need Archive access, pick your mirror in advance. (And bookmark it, because mirror.ifarchive.org/ will also be offline.)

This is, to bump the topic, today.

All should be back online.

I take issue with responses like this.

(Man, I’ve taken issue with a lot of things lately.)

Presumably you yourself are able to use multiple nouns with the verb ‘to take’…

take issues

Issue One: Taken.
Issue Two: Taken.
etc.

This is a memorable set of memes :slight_smile:
