  • 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!

    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]

  • 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:

  • 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]

  • Happened on at least late October Version 130.0.2849.52 all the way up to the present 131.0.2903.86.
    WP logout occurs on one tab but not another, and vice versa, login on one tab, still logged out on other. Typically this happens with the Dashboard in one tab as that loads with the www prefix to the url, the forums now tend to load without the…[Read more]

  • 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]

    Heh, there’s also the real life Boeing MCAS saga which turned the planes into flying death traps. The FDA, like other large orgs is little more than a coterie of small fiefdoms ruled by folks who care for little more than the unbroken teflon of their backsides. These kinds of criticisms will, as you know, either be denied outright, or referred…[Read more]

    There’s a guest login, only works if you get Messenger so it seems.
    Most folks feel the best out of life is to get by doing just the bare minimum, until it’s holiday time at least. In many cases, the cattle truck operators are too “nice”, such pleasant demeanour caused by threats by livelihood/well-being/life by unhinged farmers.
    Have not read The…[Read more]

  • Pretty much the same reaction from some critics at the initial release, it was memorable enough inasmuch such a thing was never before attempted cinematically. In recollection the character dynamics worked well enough, the temptation for a repeat viewing was never there though.
    Now streaming The Old Man, plenty in there of good entertainment…[Read more]

    Ah, Mr. Monopoly served with marching orders – go to jail, go directly to jail, do not collect $200. Good job.
    Good also for Facebook airing the ills experienced by carriers of livestock with Crap Loading Ramps, with a growing collection of magnificent and unforgettable images we can be all proud of. 🙂

    Did you find one? Tussocks are reliable for such a job, they also lack what we might call “aesthetic” qualities desirable for our verges. The Californian hair grass might be an exception. 🙂
    Haven’t been able to secure another Red Rubin over here since posting this update back when, seen any your way?

  • In response to this observation, there has been more action on trimming the Wikipedia content down as per e.g the 2007 Wikipedia: “In Popular Culture” Content article. Do like the xkcd ref. 🙂
    Take, for example, this revision of the page for What Are Little Boys Made Of before the section got chopped. This is the current page.
    There are some…[Read more]

    Today, you can get them out of the jar.
    Spray on is brilliant, forget about putting it to use in places like Lahore or Delhi until at least the folks over there get back on their bikes/carts/rickshaws, and stop burning coal. In doing that throws up a whole new bunch of issues though. 😛
    Yeah, those hounds still have your address and will not let…[Read more]

    Haven’t seen SACDs or the players over here much at all, mostly because of the impetus to go looking. Don’t recall them occupying the prime spots in any of the shop display windows either, funnily enough. They wanted an ad campaign of Coca Cola magnitude to really set the market on fire, and as things have turned out, likely to have set a lot off…[Read more]

    Some very good ideas from here:
    https://www.buzzfeed.com/thegeshow/top-10-coolest-uses-of-solar-panels
    The first link is gone, there’s this one in Chile or another in China for example. The one in the Sahara has its critics. 😛
    Good idea with the bins though, get them enough power to trot away at COB to unload at the local disposal centre. Might…[Read more]

  • A fine collection indeed! Still back in primordial 758p here. 😛
    Explored the Fetch range a little, they have a good range of content in the guide. Currently watching The Fall on a TV app though, as waiting for them to fix the bugs in other TV apps which make them almost impossible to use. Well into series 3 now, it’s beginning to induce a little…[Read more]

    Yep, no reason not to consider “partner” as just a short form of partner in crime, it has the same varied meanings. 😛
    One who is short of the means of pants procurement ends up panting for shorts! We’re getting lazy too, here, the home shoes are always referred to as shoes, despite really being espadrilles. 😛

  • Tried a hand at the MSN games Spades, the first thing was the old login is deprecated, now it’s either anonymous or only the MS account to login through FirebasApp.
    Fun, except the game screen won’t maximise in the browser and there’s a bug in the sound volume slider. The chat icons take a bit of getting used to as well.
