  • Did they come through yet – don’t forget a multimeter, get one with a friendly interface. For your average meter newbie, gear like the DT830B Digital Multimeter used recently is a bit clunky, if not finicky. πŸ™‚

    Yes, legal teams championing work related injuries big over here along with pet/funeral insurance, discount furniture and sports betting apps, and who cannot sample the delights of loud and frequent promotions of reality programs – what else is new? πŸ˜›

    Some records reach back to the muddle ages, from whence the fuzzy details of distant ancestors remain well protected by the coarse veil of time & mystery. πŸ™‚
    Not sure if there is sufficient grunt to conjure up anything quite as well constructed as those sites above, as to what it will come out as, the proof will be in the plodding. πŸ˜›

    Interesting, tardigrades would be most happy in mosses and lichens, and require bacteria for sustenance. Going for micro-lifeforms is the best bet.
    Didn’t know about Li-Fi, thanks.
    Yes, life as we know it, and we know that we don’t know too much of what’s out there. For instance, how do we know life as we don’t know might exist within stellar…[Read more]

    Not planning to play anything like Bug Fables either. πŸ˜› Another one to watch out for is Dragon’s Dogma, with the sequel just round the corner.
    For all the fanfare of La-La Land, the character selection was a bit ordinary, methinks something like a Lizzo interlude could have mixed it up a bit. The tracks were cool, a little bit of the 95 peice…[Read more]

    It was mostly a joke game but had a lot of publicity πŸ˜› Haven’t played it myself yet but I’ve been meaning to just for the “fun” of it πŸ˜›

    Yep! Most the games are your standard fighter fair but that does make some sense as the most popular series (DBZ and Super) are all about fighting. They did make an RPG a couple of years back, Kakarot,…[Read more]

    Over here, our local OTA ads are pretty much medication related or for personal injury lawyers now. In some cases, ads are run but the product is never even mentioned at all in the ad, save in the fine print that you need to get up to the TV to see, so they aren’t all that effective. I miss the days of fun ads! πŸ™

    Dragon Ball is huge, with a boatload of games to boot! The last, Awakening, is that a kind of TCG, or is Panini a separate game?

    The following is part of the content in the ticket posted to the account by me a week ago.

    A 2016 SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLET TAB A 10.1, and a 2021 SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLET TAB A 8.

    The old Aldi SIM in the A10.1 was working fine since activation 4/2018, and up to last week, with no issues in account, reception coverage or anything else.

    I’m surprised people actually cheat at solitaire!

    Yep, it is an odd term. The talk page is filled with cleanup discussion but I didn’t see that mentioned. “Minor” or “small” would be a better fit if they didn’t have a number handy πŸ™‚

    Cool!

    Yeah, they forcibly pushed Copilot out a few weeks ago and turned it on by default. I don’t have plans to use it so I’ve got it turned off. πŸ™‚

    πŸ™ We don’t have many candy shops left in Florida but several other states still have a healthy ( πŸ˜› ) amount of them. Most of our “candy” here is the hard sugar and artificially flavored stuff we pick up in the supermarket. Have made my own before with real ingredients and it turns out so much better!

    Regarding Europa, from the recent studies they’re now leaning towards life not being able to survive but enough oxygen to somewhat support a colony of sorts. I find fault with this as I still believe it’s a mistake assuming oxygen is required for life as a whole. A specific example on Earth is the tardigrade. If they can live in a vacuum, why…[Read more]

  • Yeah, that’s a known issue in bbPress that’s fixed in the dev version (2.6.7 I think) but hasn’t been pushed downstream. Here’s the link: https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/commit/bbde786798c47b61f1ef87bd049224f351458b7b

    Probably worth forwarding to Robin to see if they can fix it on their end πŸ™‚
