      Not too terrific, neighbour and I have been tearing out fast greying strands of hair regarding his dropped internet. We’ve troubleshooted most things that can be troubleshot, bending and bursting the constraints of time left to us on this planet, leaving us worn and deflated. 🙁
      Posted an enquiry at Whirlpool, hoping for quick solution from an expert techo. 🙂

        This cropped up in Dashboard Site Health yesterday:

        The scheduled event, “litespeed_task_lqip”, is late to run.

        Must have run, as the alert has gone, seems as if the erros are related to WP ver 6.X.

          Sounds really good, so go right ahead, thanks.
          The search on the front page gets the hits in a rather snazzy format, as opposed to the forum search. Both are useful and functional! 🙂

            Thanks, it was rather pleasant, she had an old Cinema Paradiso DVD so we saw that. The first time the car got a frost in twenty years as it was parked outside the house rather than in the carport. 🙂
            Drat those bugs, drat them all, and again, drat them once more. 😛

              Did happen to experience a brief dizzy spell today, thought of it more as a glitch of reality. 😛

                A LS & 2SB DVD was gifted by a family member for a birthday some time ago, probably ~2012. Replayed it later, in case something was missed. The earlier Lock, Stock and Barrel had nothing much in common other than the name, it does have Claude Akins however, ubiquitous in 50s, 60s and 70s movies and shows.
                Remember seeing bits of Rift awhile back, tend to shy away from sub movies unless there’s a standout focal point in the description, funny there are not too many submarine-centric comedies, if ever one comes out, it’s odds on to be a hoot, if a crock instead, it won’t have too far to sink! 😛
                Completed streaming Fargo Series 5, where it seems the writers have been commissioned to concoct a farrago of stuff with random set of weird events and characters in a neo-western format. Found it entertaining enough, and some surprising lines, especially from Tillman:

                Well, you don’t get it, do you? This is the path I’m on. Starts at birth and it ends here. This isn’t a trip to Starbucks on the way to the office. This isn’t an idea. God cuts our names into bone and that’s who we become. He blows His holy trumpet and the walls fall down. You all came here to find Lot’s wife, but she’s already a pillar of salt and she ain’t turning back. So, go and live, or stay and die. It’s up to you.

                The audio, sweeps, zooms and transitions in A Perfect Murder make it a joy to watch as the story unwinds. Disagree with the Rotten Tomatoes assessment, although the development in the last few minutes of the film came off a little underdone. Buddy Boy was terrific. 😛
                The New Corporation is well put together and armed with a provoking tilt, it tends to promote the conclusions of the film makers through the us_versus_them angle, thus the idea of engaging in protest is the only way to change the fixture. (As an alternative, “common sense” has its attractions. 🙂 )
                Although the basic premise of 222 is hokey, the visuals and effects are very slick, thus very easy on the eyes, the work from the lead actors was convincing, some of the supports wanted a second take though. Rotten Tomatoes took it down too much, more like a 6/10 here.
                And wow, after seeing Dredd, and half expecting the detractors at RT rapping it up for the bomb squad again, pleasantly surprised to see that everyone liked it, as was the case here. Recommended. 🙂

                  Didn’t know CSS had the capability of determining whether a post box is next to a specified element, so quite useful then.
                  Wonder what would happen if we tried out Pip’s Disqus. 😛

                    Nice category! 🙂
                    In that case, we’ll make them work, proving all those philistine uncategorised forums of the world as absolutely passé. 🙂
                    Looks like an issue, so added a concern to this recent query. 🙂

                      It does, however can’t see why I ever got the notion the tags should work without enclosing ol, ul or menu tags when it isn’t really a good idea at all. 😛

                        Yeah, might be worth a poke in the forums, the changelog hasn’t been updated in years either.
                        There is a johnjamesjacoby on trac seemingly responsible to commits on recent minor releases, doesn’t look like he frequents the forums much, thus potentially favouring a response to ticketed enquiries at trac, who knows?

                            That’s fine, let our designer fancies run amok – even if they end up running a muck. 😀
                            We have to make a decision about the categories though, do we want them, if so, and how can they be used to enhance navigability, otherwise can they be ditched altogether?
                            However, the welcome category is used in Writing,

                              Sorry, only thing done was to remove the static pages, so the front/home page is just the one with the latest post.
                              This layout uses the front page template, so that’s the one itching for a fiddle, noting the editor replaces the author avatar with robohash courtesy of our old friends from gravatar. 😛
                              This means we can forget about pages in this instance, as there’s only one page with posts including this stickied one. In fact this and this can be removed from pages altogether for housekeeping. 🙂

                                Pretty nifty if it charges up without a dock, but from the air alone, making it truly “wireless.” 😛
                                Yeah, still using the Stupid Factory mousemat, for which the NIP number in the description might suggest the item hails from around 2003, enough to warrant a candidate relic at least. 😛
                                Wow, up to ten years of use out of the Ecoflow makes it very desirable, and excellent relic potential for tomorrow and beyond, she’ll love it! 🙂
                                Ordered the battery for the APC Back-UPS RS 900G mentioned a couple of posts back, hope it works as the UPS itself was discontinued last year, making it a relatively recent relic.
                                Some local resellers offer cheaper batteries like this, maintaining they are compatible with the original, funny thing is, they differ visually, the installed battery is a side-by-side pair, and if they offer singles only, the purchase of two would cost more in any case.

                                  Have they changed the scaling for Pizza Planet, the only one available here is the original, which, as you know has a rather strong resemblance to the one at Tomorrowland.
                                  Don’t have the A/C on every day then? Over here on hot summer days, it gets tuned on from around 2pm to 6pm, really does make a difference in the evening.
                                  The Soga trollies purchased a couple of years back (MS Teams has the saga of the transaction) are doing fine, however the screws do loosen from usage, so having to tighten them all up again is an unexpected ordeal.
                                  David Wengrow was on a replayed chat show the other day outlining The Dawn of Everything, very engaging, and a book worth reading.
                                  It’s about time these scam camps have to be brought to account, hard to believe some folks get to be so rotten in their dealings with others.

                                    It may be able to choose in which direction to send out solar flares or coronal mass ejections.

                                    The same argument might apply to earth and other planets, where to place those unruly hotspots for best results in achieving mayhem (ahem) peace on earth! 😛

                                      Have to explore Tubi again.
                                      Never knew Stephen King tried his hand at directing, bad luck with an Italian crew, should have just stuck with fixing the script though.
                                      The idea of Mansion of the Doomed could have been extended to animals, a real hoot if the vision was restored with the eyes of a regular barn owl, for instance.
                                      Yeah, those kinds of movies can be scary too, especially when your favourite comic actor turns out to be a spookaloo psycho. 😛
                                      The lead in the Disaster Artist carried around with him an aura of irritation, which adds weight to the journey of the film. Things pick up towards the end though, which transforms the arduous exercise into uproarious hilarity.
                                      Found Snatch rather entertaining with lively one-liners and nicely paced changes. An all star cast endows it with a feel good crowd pleaser vibe in such a way the blend and interactive mix of characters comes out with a streak of bland. The director knows it, but doesn’t care, thus we don’t either. 😛

                                        Are they going to be taking sides re election? Probably not a good idea, although ultimately it ends up as or the other, or nothing. Somewhat of a Hobsons choice really. 🙂
                                        For the Nature eds, the old format is best: keep the main articles free of politicians, and have a user feed banging section at the end, just before the comics, so no-one leaves with hacked off taste buds.

                                          Logged in there today, all looks fine, weird how they have “Loading transfer data…”” which times out, and re-appears if the url box at top is just clicked on (no refresh). Edge here, same in Chrome?
