Started reading the Discworld books the other day and they’re a blast! Lots of humor and craziness. They’re right up my alley! 😀

Poor old Particle man! A theme for Galaxies, have you played it?
A cheering, yet depressing theme for a brood thread:

Sorry! LN2 refers to liquid nitrogen. 🙂

There used to be a trend where people would toss random objects in a bucket of it and then capture the subsequent splintering process in slow motion.

Yep, definitely don’t want to be putting it in your mouth! Now, Dippin Dots on the other hand….

We’re actually having a rather mild Summer so far. It’s…[Read more]

Looks like it’s from 2017 but I haven’t used it since 2020. I was a bit hard on it (stupid clicker games 😛 ) so I’ll probably look at getting a new one in a year or two. 🙂

Thanks, will look at that! I’ve been tempted to wear gloves while using keyboards and mice to keep the grime off (and most things, really) 😛

Sounds good! Lots of Linux…[Read more]

How long have you had the mouse,- over here one which reaches EOL at five years is relic enough!
Light ethyl alcohol wipes would be ok, if it’s hot I use an absorbent cloth under the wrist, and metal mousemats are easy to clean. 🙂
Still backing up stuff here, once a USB stick is vacant, Linux is going on it. 🙂

Who was LN2? Is he/she still around? Talking of which, the Chiki ngebul or dragon’s breath candy is all the rage!

Pity it’s not safe,m but what do you expect from a name like dragon’s breath?
Bit of a cold snap over here, so the fire is definitely alive and – firing!
As with the above, most of my nursery…[Read more]

What’s a good way of cleaning up a mouse without damaging it? My skin is really oily so I tend to get a lot of grime on things even with constant hand washing.

Apologies if this is more of a general hardware question instead of a discussion on old devices. I can split it off if desired 🙂

Yeah, the main search seems to be for the blog while the other for the forums. It would be nice if we could get a unified one

The style pack does have an option for better theme support but it requires some template tweaking. Maybe that would help with getting things to play nicer?

Mad’s always good! 😀

Still need to go through my old issues!

I really miss MadTV. I stumbled on it from time to time while in hotels and it was always enjoyable!

It’s a shame I can’t catch Portlandia here 🙁

This was an interesting one. Bit slow to start off and doesn’t really get going until about halfway through. The first half is mostly…[Read more]

Looks like we posted at the same time!

I can see the sounds matching Superman’s themes quite nicely!

We have a bunch of cicadas around here. They’re quite relaxing!

No idea! They are larger than the ones I usually pick but are still green so it’s hard to say

Definitely not the sort of thing I want to run through the AC pipes 😛

The videos of LN2 used to be pretty fun to watch. Too bad they went out of style!

They were selling firewood advertised as Christmas logs in 90F 😛 Let’s go with stocking up!

Ooh,…[Read more]

And another classic! 😀

🙂 It’s a beauty!
Although the Australian cicada provides a different template for sound, would it ever make it on the Marvel or DC stage? A question which no doubt can deliberated over the following background calls.

Any idea of the grape variety? Could be the muscadine which has many cultivars apparently.
Vinegar is a really good descaler, for total clean Sodium Metabisulphite came to mind, briefly, as it’s very unpleasant to work with. It requires absence from the room while it is bubbling through the pipes after which it has to be all flushed out with…[Read more]

Yep, only a very mild interest for the Amityville Horror, so one viewing was enough. It was publicized extensively though, MAD’s Calamatyville Horror was better.

Faintly remember seeing Piranha, will keep an eye out!
“Steven Spielberg called the film “the best of the Jaws ripoffs”” 🙂

The FTA Interview with a Vampire completed last night, it…[Read more]

Saw Piranha yesterday and that was a blast!

There’s this page in the Chrome settings that may be useful: chrome://settings/performance

But, yeah, that would be a handy feature to have to help prioritize things when doing work. For example, you’d be able to disable the playlist you were listening to when it comes time to upload the project without losing your place.

From the vault! 😀

Problem with streaming app.
To facilitate troubleshooting, here’s a wish: include in Task Manager option (or Sysinternals?) to prioritize a specific browser tab internet quota, so that other internet consuming processes are (semi) suspended. At the time of last check, there were scripts in AHK that have come close, else Nirsoft might have…[Read more]
