Great info on the site! 🙂
The Answers section is a bit odd on account of the thin detail in most of the questions – as of late most of those would get a fairly good quality response in the browser AIs.
What kind of vacuum tubes are you working with? There’s some good info at Antique Radios where it’s proposed the reliability of some may not be 100%.
Both have a great range – Mouser has more than double the sensor types than Digikey. 😛

Just curious if Code Geass is available in other languages – take it there is an English dub?
Back to some of the other stuff – admittedly much of it is formula driven along with recurrences of familiar and recycled themes.
Treasure & Dirt offers a wide spectrum of character templates mixed together in a raw and cinematic setting of heat, rock, intrigue and violence. Very watchable, if outback noir is to one’s taste.
Everything is done in Pretty Hard Cases to make it a zippy, action oriented and entertaining procedural, yet somehow not enough to get it over the final hurdle. (For me, the magic combination of X-factor, gravitas and the lolly popping antics of Kojak does it every time!)
Right now, viewing back issues of Human Target (2010 TV series), a series of fast moving action adventure stories following on the premise and style of Mission Impossible as to its exploits and coverage. Can’t keep away from the snappy dialog and the surprising range of guest stars either. Oh dear. Edit: The shaky (hand held?) camera in the action scenes (trendy at the time) no doubt helped in papering over any possible fooh-pahs in the execution. 😛
Next on the list is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, seems like it got a rather mixed reaction, will update how it goes. 🙂

Funny thing, after connecting the Windows account to the new PC, got a couple of Welcome to Windows 11 emails about a week on. Guess there is no way MS know how long you have been running the PC on a device only account beforehand, else the email could read something like “A Belated Welcome to Windows 11 (in case your initial experience was anything but…)”. 😛

Wonder if they’ll ever get an explore-at_own_risk/no_particular_destination mode for robots? No doubt extra accommodation will be appreciated by travellers ending up in places like Timbuktu! 😛
AI is now doing the academic rounds and popping up in more esoteric areas such as astrophysics explaining things like
Why the Speed of Light Is NOT a Speed. Popped in a comment at Reddit.
Ever come across Meditation Sickness? A discussion on the radio revealed some rather interesting and surprising cases – there’s also a lengthier dissertation at YouTube:

YouTube also hosts a growing collection of BBC CrowdScience videos, all are very well presented and easily digestible. Recommended! 🙂
Edit, we did touch on Bigfoot a page back, just noticed Discovery had a series Bigfoot Took Her available on an FTA streamer over here. Not sure if the enthusiasm is there for the complete viewing, perhaps happening form an abridged? version/teaser, again over at YouTube.

Excellent list of games, do the community features extend to participation – anonymous players joining in at any time for eternal ArchLinux Hall of Fame glory?
Yikes, the above keyboard lights link was retired, with the keyboard lights issue having undergone some resolution.
Windows now has native tarball support, albeit a bit wonky. In the site backup archives, the name of the homedir folder is duplicated in explorer, the content is not duplicated. Verified by 7-zip. 😛

After a couple of hiccups here and here, the new machine is setup just about.

Our local Mr Fixit put it all together rather smoothly until I presented him with an old SATA drive that was thought to be okay – but had an invalid status with the read only flag permanently on. 😛
It sports the old SB soundcard and the black chassis of the old “Ob” machine to allay the full payload of the shock of the new. 🙂

Yeah, there’s also an issue with using batteries (in either series or parallel) with differing DCIRs/Capacity/Voltage in torches, say, when things can get rather unstable.
Teetotaler then? Sometimes use it with meat here, do have a penchant f0r brandy puddings. 🙂
What are your thoughts on interacting with a world of L5 autonomous vehicles?

Big one for law and insurance, plus security overheads to guard against hacking attacks as well.
The Sinking City 2 has been just released; despite the improvements some prefer the clunky detective play in SC1. There is definitely a sinking feeling afoot at the prospect of enjoining such an adventure. 😛

There’s a nice little article on sharpening:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sharpening/wiki/gettingstarted
Funny, some of the text displayed in the Google Reddit page snippets in search results are not found on the page!
Also found out that both sides must be sharpened if using for slicing.
Nice, it’s fair to say more details on some recipes would be a bonus- for example, muffing a detail on the Trojan Hog could make things rather messy. 😛

Over here, treacle or molasses are sometimes used instead of sugar so extra salt isn’t required – not for the purists though. 😛

Careful, He Might Hear You suffers from a once common Australian ailment – superb orchestration is rather too much over the top in covering the comparatively mediocre dramatic episodes that bedeck the narrative. Still, themes and motifs are consistent, and the happy ending comes as a pleasant surprise.
Seven Types of Ambiguity is a well-crafted and intricate story that translates well to this screening. Minor beef, the patching up of loose threads at the end runs a little over time perhaps.
Also streamed The Nest, a reasonably digestible affair on an arrangement involving surrogacy.
Saint-Pierre is no more or less than B-Grade formula, but allows for the chance on recouping some of the French that never was. 😛

It seems fine conceptually, – then again electricity is a strange thing.

Do take care with alcoholic drinks in some locations as some distillers take cheap shortcuts:

Really nasty. 🙁

Oh right, are you still on Debian or were there plans to change to Arch Linux/OpenSuse?
OpenSuse looks cool for the VM: prefer Leap to Tumbleweed?

[DeVaultSetter]

Ok, looks like a bit going on with it, especially when the docs refer to using version x of this with version y of that, what happens when the versions change? Well, the good news is a new Windows rig coming this way this week, details of which will be posted accordingly.
It’s preferable to use that instead of the HP, as the security here gets a bit wobbly about program installs and such. No reason why a virtual Linux box can’t be created on there anyhow:

Mint is the go-to version these days, no?

Thanks – will keep in mind electric fence etiquette:

Never experienced anything like a crypto themed dream- the complexity of a musical one is sure to be enhanced by different tuning/scaling. Come to think of it, how about some kind of psychometric device for downloading dreams and converting them to text?
Wow, an absolute monster indeed. Looks like it’s ready t0 go in a Linux system – do you use SquashFS much at all? Reception is cool at best:

Littered with archaeological remnants of its history… a palimpsest of a landscape, written over and re-written over by feuds between players, hacks injecting vast structures into the world, and by different waves of Internet communities arriving and rampaging or attempting to settle within it.

Gaming at its best. 🙂
Comic Chat was a very good idea, cannot recall if it was available in this country initially. Was HexChat one of those favourites?
Jurassic Systems specializing in an eclectic mix of MHZ driven clunkers! What a joy! 🙂

The worms suffered a near mass extinction event soon after- possible reasons being new home/acidity/heat – all of which were checked out. In the case of heat, the bin is well protected under the house, and some worms in castings in a separate area exposed to sun were fine. Population recovery is slow but sure. 🙂
Have a young Indian guava outside which hates frosts. A plastic sheath and a larger piece of gal. iron might save it. 🙂
Have been onto the bindii for years with manual removal, there is still mass germination as viability from old seedings continues. Was planning to catch up on posts today … oh well. 🙁

Ren and Stimpy also had La Femme from the same composer:

Funny as there seems to be a foul-up with the KPM listing. This and this have it as by Caesar Giovannini & Wayne Robinson.
La Femme doesn’t have piano for a start, and the arrangement style is more akin to Frank Samuels. Not sure though.

Titan’s too cold for us at present – is there hope in establishing a colony underneath the surface of the moon? Bio-engineering our brain processes to vicariously sense robots skating and cavorting on the icy plains above is another possibility.
It might also depend on the provenance of the coffee itself. It seems 6-7 bars works for many – in which case the machines should accommodate for it. Still percolating here while waiting for the perfect espresso model to emerge. 🙂
Outdoor or indoor hobby?

[DeVaultSetter]

All those things would certainly add multiple dimensions to the game experience. Especially when balancing stuff like this:

Yes, the links to Calvin Ball in that section are tenuous at best.

Never put a candidate in a hat

And then pull out a rabbit instead. Which probably means Penn & Teller want to get involved. 😛
Back in the nineties Macromedia Flash was great. Games using Flash were sometimes too large in size for ADSL connections though.
This electric eel packs an electric punch, using 6000 elctrolytic cells in series. Give that ability to us, what would we want with tasers?
