There were intimations of Gotham, or even Sin City in Se7en through which Morgan Freeman and brad Pitt were guiding lights, the atmosphere and mood also kept the movie on course. By the very title, along with the early revelations, you knew pretty much well what was going to happen, which reduced the tension somewhat. But boy or boy, the surprise…[Read more]

Ever dream of the ultimate chicken coop?
Over at Reddit there are names like Ova Office, The Chick Inn, The old Yolks Home, The Plot Chickens, the best of all is Cluckingham Palace.
Thus -er- one for the vault, don’t count your chicken coops until they are thatched!

Fortunately, BBC sells a lot of their series on their online store so I may be able to get caught up at some point. Definitely love British dramas. They’re so much better than what we turn out!

Finally got around to watching Revenge of the Sith. Without reading the reviews first (no idea how it’s regarded), in my personal opinion it wasn’t bad…[Read more]

No but we can have rocket-side chats!

Haven’t really shopped but I’ve definitely explored before. Also, art museums. Really enjoy them but they’re often hard for me to get to. For some reason, they also put them on the opposite side of town from me! Poor planning on their part!

Definitely may pick up some decor items from the MoMA store.…[Read more]

Conversation at the fireplace is off limits then, so no fireside chats. 🙁
Good range in Moma then- have you shopped in the galleries before?
Always thought a space-age toothpaste tube squeezer would make a quirky gift for a family member, might be a little late for Christmas deliveries now.
Probably better off searching the mfg websites directly.…[Read more]

So Bing is a little better. The first page is still filled with toys but I got a few diecast models on the second page. Speaking of, perhaps I should browse the diecast collections instead if searching figurines tends to give me toys.

Mighty film, and a tear-jerker as well by the looks. Tend to shun movies with sub-titles over here – eyes – screen – and of course the native language component – without the German it’s Mona Lisa in monochrome. 😛
So many things about Get Out were terrific, the music of Michael Abels, the tension, character interplay, the mystery, so 90% here.…[Read more]

Wild selections there, over here there was Hans on ABC News Breakfast with Camp as Christmas, a lively alternative to Mariah:

Blarg. Amazon is such a pain to find stuff on. I want to get some spaceship figurines to help inspire me so I plug that in the search bar. It gives me nothing but cheap space shuttle and astronaut toys. No rockets or fictional starships (or even figurines), just children’s toys. 🙁

Still want to catch the other early Mad Max films. Not a fan of Mel Gibson’s later acting but his early stuff is pretty fun.

As I recall, Das Boot had limited subtitles and the original German version is considered superior to the English version. Really need to watch it.

Yep, definitely going to require some combing but we’ll get it filled up! We’ve also got some good tips in the Computer Setup thread from our various adventures through computer space-time that are worth transferring over. 🙂

So, sort of like a Hitchhiker’s Guide? Could be fun!

I think that’s honestly the future of the dispersal of information…[Read more]

Holiday time!

😀

At last, a KnowledgeBase! 🙂
Definitely a site requirement now the search has been parked, right now it’s fair to say most retrievable content of value on a given subject is broadcast far and wide throughout the various blog and forum topics. Quite a wide range of subject matter, and yes, to such length and degree on software that it is become…[Read more]

Finished the expedition! It comes with a sweet ship, multi-tool and other goodies. 🙂

Hate to say it but I may start a new game yet again and do things properly so I’m not trying to complete everything at the same time. The sprawling mess of quest stuff is beginning to make my inventory a bit unwieldy and I think I can greatly improve things in a…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ll be on standby to fix the drivers. I usually wait until it’s automatically installed just in case. 🙂

Yep, the big vendors are pretty good about sharing with Microsoft so things go more smoothly 🙂

Good catch! Also, there are known issues with Ubisoft games so definitely something to keep in mind

Just got it here as well, the install, as with on the last occasion was through the WU interface, relatively painless as an ISO was not required. Also ran GPEdit to prevent the well meaning but “flawed” WU downloading OEM driver updates. That is, funnily enough, not a policy of HP to tinker with WU, as everything driver related (including Intel)…[Read more]

So I’ve found that paprika actually goes well in coffee. Pretty tasty! 🙂

Looks like Windows 11 24H2 is being pushed out. The changes don’t look too significant. The biggest change is support for AI compute cores. Another notable one is support for WiFi 7. Other than that, it looks like it’s mostly minor tweaks to the UI in addition to other bug fixes under the hood.
