Fly us to the moon, but please don’t leave us there, while all the hard working roadies for Nightwish end up totally Finnished!
Nina Hagen is quite a versatile performer when it comes to styles, for one there’s Flying Saucers:

Some others include Auf´m Bahnhof Zoo, Der Spinner and Alright Tonight, there was also a little unpleasantness after this – er – exhibition on set.
Edit: Here’s a nice one from Della:

Nethered and dusted! 🙂
Remember Mahmud Ghazni? He’s the one who advertised services back in February 2022 when the site launched. Must be some kind of geek to catch us from his crawler script, is it possible Wget or cURL could detect the WP signature easily enough?
His portfolio looks impressive on first spec, a bit slow to load, hasn’t changed the copyright from 2021.
The first and third sites along with Finackle down the bottom are 404, the second and second last produce a mostly blank template, so yeah, very much in transition.

Had a quick but fruitless trawl for “playable” TCG WP plugins, the most attractive looking one is the octgndev at wordpress.com, but of course we’re at least 12 years late, and things have changed considerably since then. Is there any chance at all with the Pokémon TCG SDK?
As for databases, wpdatatables is sure to do the job, though rather big, Energy Search will want a brush up, MTG Tooltips possesses certain charms. 🙂

Well, for sci-fi reality, we want REAL flying saucers please! 🙂 The Syfy Wire site is updated frequently with what you might say middle of the road content spiced up a little for a target audience of upper middle nerds. 😛

Yep, for some movies and remakes like that Halloween where you know exactly where things are going to be in 30 minutes, including the effects of the extra exertion on your part, if a quick snooze doesn’t appeal, time to switch channels!

Hmmm (bloopers notwithstanding), Demon of Paradise is not listed in the Cultural Impacts …, should a reference be inserted in there?

Oh yes, along with Hitchhikers Guide, Red Dwarf is the the best sci-fi laugh-in out there, definitely go to see the repeats. Canned laughter provides extra vibrancy in outer space, too. 🙂

Much of the mystery of Red Riding Hood Trilogy was lost after viewing Part Three first, being under the mistaken allusion the stories in the trilogy could be seen in any order. The obvious analogy is reading a book backwards chapter by chapter, the extra cognitive power required to sort out events from the beginning have the effect of cementing the plot into memory rather well. 🙂

Blue Lights is a procedural modelled to a large degree on The Bill, with a greater focus on crime gangs. Sharp and perky interchanges keep you glued on what’s coming around the corner for these young, brave heroes.

Enjoyed Drive, consisting of a very earthly palette of themes underpinning a space electro pop driven score, the cinematography imbued with a style reminiscent of period and rather stylish sci-fi shoots.

If you like Jennifer Lawrence, you’ll like Red Sparrow, amazingly the full movie is free at Daily Motion: – fun fact, when embedding it here, it starts playing!

The TSA red carpet scene is on TikTok only it seems, and the full screen function opens a new tab to the source video, detracting a little from the full red carpet experience of viewing the vid!

Alternately, to view it here, turn up the resolution (ctrl mousewheelup) to suit, here it is around 200% in maximised window. Good luck in removing the pesky icons/symbols in front of the video, no hotkeys available for the job, might be something on the phone though.

If Omega Mart is the future of shopping, Vegas here we come:

Occasionally get themed jars through donations over here, haven’t come across anything quite like the Amazon set yet. And the deadly nightshade jar is first choice for the safe and secure storage of extremely valuable comestibles in deterring sneaky light fingered kitchen visitors. 🙂

Interesting collection of oddities, funny, no recollection of anyone resurrecting or rebranding Mithridate for pandemic sufferers. 😛

Over here we have bitumen bandits, tar comes at a premium, thus such temptations – along with dreams of driveway makeovers- ultimately end up in the tar pit. 🙁

Some of the southern states, particularly Louisiana and Alabama raise alligators for their meat and eggs, plying them with “vegan” fare consisting of soy bean based pellets or similar. If it is available your way, might be inspiration for some snappy recipes. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Lovely. 🙂
She might like to chew on something as well, it helps to alleviate pain. Shem loves bones. 🙂
Nothing like a good book though, for example, Heinemann make superb books, and there are a few publishers of leather bound volumes.

I did add breadcrumbs to the bottom of the forums a few weeks ago to help with that. 🙂

Very good idea it was, thanks. 🙂

Were they NSAID tablets? If she hasn’t used them in the past, there’s a chance of reaction given weak immunity. Bad luck. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

Thanks. 🙂
Will that fix in the template get wiped when upgrading the theme? Replacing the theme is sure to wipe any customizations made to it, so we may be better off ultimately implementing our own plugin. Which will be enormous fun of course. 😛
Yeah, sidebar isn’t a such a bad idea on the PC at least, especially if one can navigate the forum from it – if for example the current position in a reply is scrolled down the bottom. But then, navigational links could also go in the footer, thus it all winds up as six of one and half a dozen of the other really.
Style Pack has a new version- shall we go ahead?

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes, the mysterious dostips never had a feedback or announcement mechanism for status, so we’ll never know what happened on the day. 😛
Have you ever experienced browser burko with msftconnecttest.com? Happened on w11 Chrome with new browser tabs opening in succession to that address. If it was NCSI, how do the browser pages help I wonder?
Ahk’s cert has expired, it might now be in the repair workshop as the site now returns a SQL ERROR, so the link to this interesting class for unit testing may fail. “Harness” is also included in testing jargon these days.
Edit: AHK back!
What with the release of the Fallout TV series and updates to the FO4, things have go a little wonky at Nexus, undergoing a substantial demand on their servers. Understandable, as some of those mods are gigabyte sized.

an issue.

Actually, more like this issue. 🙂
Surprise, surprise, no change with PipDisqus, and the “Moderate Disqus Comments” is still up on the main page.
Disqus itself has been updated to 3.1, there are ads, and free subscriptions, and so forth, with user feedback coming across as negative still. Installation might be worth a shot, although getting everything else right with the site beforehand is priority, as it will be until the twelfth of never. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

There’s … still a few imps dancing round and round, as firing up the old W10 Ob machine got a blank screen, rinse and repeat, nothing, couldn’t hear any obvious signs of disk activity either. No sign of activity on the TV (primary monitor connected through HDMI.) The repair shop might have used a DVI connection for the monitor, however the dual monitor info was lost, from recent experience W11 handles monitor behaviour (from history?) a little differently.
Then remembered the connection of the previous replacement rig back here was with HDMI through to the old Samsung S24B350 monitor, because that (secondary) monitor has no DVI out, a minor inconvenience. So connected the GTX 650 out to the monitor through HDMI, nothing on the secondary (but primarily used monitor). Switched on the TV, and there it was, a Windows desktop! Reconnected the VGA cable to the secondary monitor, reconnected HDMI to the TV as before, switched display in Settings, pressed something on the monitor itself to re-affirm VGA, pulled the HDMI, and wow, it all came back as before! 🙂

And – er – they may have go the repair info round the wrong way as the Ob machine had the SW issue and the Skyrim rig was a reseat. Possible, although unlikely, as the Skyrim rig is still not fixed, and the Ob PC still has the wake from Hibernate freeze. The repair guy also made a note that as these machines are beyond obsolescence, backup the data! Relics of an era indeed!

Yeah, reminiscent of an old Win 3.X bug where showing a popup or system menu did the same thing.

Funnily enough, activating the last HW relics link worked:

The first SW link did not work the first time activated, or so I thought, went and later refreshed the page so there were 2 (two) identical notifications, clicked one, and it worked, so there you go.
Note that repeating the activation of the same link from the unrefreshed source page (or the second dup. link) won’t work, presumably as the noonce value is invalid, or something.
With the same code in two places, expect weird random stuff, like working in public fora, or not, depending on whatever. 😛

Quite a few commercial sites do that now, rather than set the spam in the settings, find and use the unsubscribe link in the spam. Wonder if that’s the same in Woocommerce and the rest?
Dostips have been down a couple of weeks at least, the comments at the end of this page are somewhat off-piste as they actually refer to other downed sites. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

The Ob desktop is back from the repairer. He’s pretty good, and looks like he might have identified the issue with the drives configuration referenced by software using certain core libraries, like Oblivion.
Did ask him if I could have solved it with a recovery disk (DVD probably, the old BIOS/UEFI doesn’t handle USB sticks all that well), he said probably, at the expense of wiping the disks, so yeah.
The Skyrim desktop was a mobo check and reseat, funny that as I thought it was fine. (And so it was. if looking at a blank screen was the desired outcome. 😛 )

[DeVaultSetter]

Yerk, firmware upgrades are such that there is limited support for rollback, good luck if S76 can organize a quick fix. Can you get into Windows without issue?

[DeVaultSetter]

Agree, definitely a clash between the two – should we file a bug over at trac? Nothing much in there for bubble, and a new ticket won’t look pretty as the general user interaction and repro of the bug is at best confusing.
Adding the code both to wp-content/plugins/bp-classic/themes/bp-default/functions.php and the BuddyPress wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php gets two sets of the same notifications in the list which did work for a private topic on one occasion. No other combo seemed to work. 🙁

🙂 Great for doggie, didn’t catch her name – think you mentioned it on Teams somewhere. Are they dissolvable sutures?

[DeVaultSetter]

Not quite unfortunately, it worked for the Private group, not for the public. 🙁
