From Evil Dead to Meatballs – heck that’s some leap of genre, a mighty fine soundtrack as well. love Moondust and of course the title track. On the list for an encore view!
And now, for a double leap of genre (or bovine over the moon), First Cow with the 4:3 aspect adding a retro vibe to the experience. As the film does not boast whizbangery in…[Read more]

So Guitar Center used to be named The Organ Center. That name only lasted a few years. Not overly surprising 😛

No worries!

Yep. I’ve actually seen some old surge protectors that have had burn marks on them, likely from such an event. I have no idea how mine are designed. Surge protectors are one of those devices that are important but hard to get much information on a specific model so I generally just stick to buying well-known brands like Belkin.

Yeah,…[Read more]

Yeah, I still need to watch that one. It’s definitely on the list!

Watched Army of Darkness so that finishes the set. Had some time afterwards so I also rewatched Meatballs. Needed that. Completely plotless but still a fun watch 🙂

The Batman with ads consumed most of the evening. All the sounds of Gotham are imbued in the all pervading dark noise, thereby taking a little away from the fine score and dialogue. The purpose of the Riddler murders at the beginning seemed to get lost in other incongruities, his later revealed character was an interesting contrast. The characters…[Read more]

Dyson spheres could be an interesting addition to the game. I’m sure there’s a mod for it but I haven’t gotten into modding the game yet. Maybe someday I’ll look into playing with mods 🙂

Been taking screenshots of my space journey. Will share them soon!

I also learned a few minutes ago that using the freighter to warp doesn’t let encounters take effect. I like those bits so I’ll switch over to the starship even though its warp drive isn’t as efficient. Getting close to being able to upgrade my ship as I’ve continued to ferry…[Read more]

Yay! Going to need to keep on them! Have some very fond memories of the series 🙂

I watched a dubbed version, which they did a good job on 🙂

Yep! Seen them! They’re a riot!

Weaver in something that’s not science fiction? That’s unusual 😛

Watched The Evil Dead II yesterday and that was fun. Weird film but fun. Loved the part where Ash cuts off his hand and then pins it with copy of A Farewell to Arms 😀

An argument clinic isn’t all that bad of an idea. It would allow people to blow off steam in a setting in which its warranted and allowed. Getting people to use though is another matter entirely 😛

Interesting, that’s in Italian – are you conversant, or like me, dependent on subscripts.
Do recommend the first two Rush Hour flicks, superb choreography and LOL moments. 🙂
The Assignment is on FTA tonight:

Dr. Rachel Jane is a rogue plastic surgeon with a twisted vision of a better world.

What we need is more folks with a better vision of a…[Read more]

Could be! It’d be hilarious if the models start acting like HAL 9000 if they get trained on Arthur C Clark 😛

Yep, the sequels are definitely on the list! Also added a bunch of old sci-fi and horror films from the 50s and earlier. I can also get the colorized version of Night of the Living Dead but I prefer to watch these types of films in their…[Read more]

Whelp. At least it works! Of course, you could read a book or two during that time. Just don’t read while sitting at the computer! 😀

[Post moved] hope that’s okay. 🙂
Very interesting thread! As noted in the last bit of the second answer to this question, a consideration is the fuse going if the MOV gets too hot for risk of fire.
Don’t think Zero Surge do units for Australian power outlets, found this for the aerial, something with more outlets would be nice. The Surge…[Read more]

So had my first Lorcana tournament yesterday and since I was still using the starter deck it went about as you would expect: I lost 😛

Working a new deck from scratch so hopefully the next one goes better 🙂

Starships use good old antimatter, which requires refined copper. Apparently, there are other ways to get it. I really need to explore unlockable blueprints at some point. Anyways! Some planets have more copper than others but it’s not too difficult to come across. Your vehicles on planet use carbon for fuel, which is their substitute for oil. And…[Read more]

How much is fuel? Bound to be plenty of oil on that tropical planet, any use for spaceships?
Remember Tobor the Great? Just in case it has slipped from memory, there’s a nice review here. 🙂

As we know, I’m constantly doing research on a variety of things mostly related to circuits and other bits of science and came across this bit: https://www.avnirvana.com/threads/surgex-zerosurge-brickwall-tripplite-or-what-kind-of-surge-protector-do-you-use.9205/

It was a pretty interesting read. My understanding is that the current into the…[Read more]
