Definitely! A thread or blog, even reviving the subforum back at AfkMods would be cool. Some folks say it runs quite well on Linux – on your rig don’t think there would be much difference though. π

If there was ever a Contradiction Clinic, is there a way to make the guy form an argument as to why he prefers contradiction to argument, other than just having him denying any preference. π

The Woods is on the list, and did see the Changeling many years ago, classic horror, and enjoyed the soundtrack especially.

Although KitchenAid are certainly expanding their design templates to accommodate an aesthetical integration in the kitchen decor, the right choice really depends on how the kitchen and contents are intended to look in the initial design phase.
Personally, all that is required from a mixer is reliability, efficiency and ease of use, – and a place…[Read more] -

Received some birthday scratch lottery tickets upon which there was a note saying that either their website or the Android app could scan them for you, revealing the results that way. Good idea so thought, and to save a bunch of nails promptly went about doing so.

Yes it was, and they included evidence of the battery having been vetted with an attached note entitled “Battery Qualification Test” revision “123”, tabulating Date, Time, Operator IDs, Model, Serial numbers, Voltage and Impedance all signed off. Quite weighty as well, so transit costs may prohibit any return if it turns out to be a dud.

As USB sticks are quite cheap these days, purchased 64gb one from the local office suppliers. All well and good until it came to make it a recovery drive.
