When the 4k arrives, will have to see those! 🙂
WALL-E is really a very sad movie. 🙂
The Good Ship Murder is brilliant C-grade fare, even the cheesy songs at the end of each solved “mystery.” Like the idea for a RL cruise theme, slight problem, there actually an unsolved case on that very ship. 😛

Happy birthday! Half your luck for the snow, there’s even an article about it for good measure. Don’t suppose the tropical plants will be too enthused.

Over here, dreaming of a slightly off-white Christmas is good enough so long it deosn’t get too drab grey!
Here’s an uncredited song from Inspector Morse clipped for youtube:

Yes, backup is essential, especially through periods of elevated solar activity. DSL continues to work well, most modems support it, and I still chat to Mum through the copper telephone wires on a regular basis.
Bet this is all down to AT&T in lieu of maintenance costs, one way to bring them back on the ready – is – Trump anyone?

There once was an old saying:

Waste not, want not.

Nowadays it’s more like:

Waste not, What not.

On QI: Upside Down they showed among other things wine glasses, art, flags and faces, there’s also inverted beer bottles/glasses and more on Wikimedia such as animals and houses. Just to stodge up this page here are three houses to choose a favourite…[Read more]

Nico at AfkMods mentioned GOGs giveaway of the point and click The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, downloading now. The manual for the KQ adventure-like looks really cool, the main gripe in game seems to be stuff lost in translation, oh well.

Even for a not so die-hard fan of movie musicals, Hairspray (2007_film) had a few good scenes, the transformation of John Travolta was nothing short of phenomenal. Soundtrack was a little short of amazing, with numbers like “(You’re) Timeless to Me”:

On FTA they played The Daughter, local fare, a well…[Read more]

Myths don’t die, they just get put into cold storage, a place one suspects Santa is familiar with in any case. 😛
The association of Santa with Christmas holidays may live on more as a Santa Pause in the way of celebrating the beginning of Christianity. As for now, no letup in the plastic landfill armageddon of decorations, trees and wrap, a…[Read more]

Heh, first read the conviction as:

50 hours of community service at the Hangover Recreation Commission.

Sure would have been a novel AA initiative!
Yeah, the general reaction to brownouts is folks getting browned off, as in a dropout in the middle of cooking the Christmas turkey, the roast is not!
A few Christmases back gave Mum a straw/wicker…[Read more]

Not sure, probably costs more to produce and extract than the others, not mentioned much in the research section. Heck, made a suggestion in the talk page, just in case someone gets the urge to go dig. 😛

It’s perfect – a little bit of thatching more so. Not a lot of info about the water as we know – that’s a critical component for hot bubbly spas in our chicken doodle coop!
Sounds like you have been doing lifting – could that be the culprit?
Another oil spill – they’ll want to blame it on the old ships. Wonder how much of it can be cleaned?

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]

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]
