In response to this observation, there has been more action on trimming the Wikipedia content down as per e.g the 2007 Wikipedia: “In Popular Culture” Content article. Do like the xkcd ref. 🙂
Take, for example, this revision of the page for What Are Little Boys Made Of before the section got chopped. This is the current page.
There are some interesting references that have been moved on, it’s possible to argue the items are all relevant because they satisfy certain criteria. In the olden multivolume hardcopy days, one was obviously restricted by physical media, here there is no such restriction. Wikipedans have become too encyclopedic! Having some of the most “important” references in popular culture now as links in the page below, does take something away from the article. Bring them back I say!
Edit: Having said that, references are a thing though, one can’t, for example, say something happened in a film without references. If the movie, or at least its transcript isn’t at IA or one of the official video channels that provide access to the film for everyone, the reference might be rejected. Snippets from movie reviews from syndicated sources might be acceptable as long as they are not behind an impervious paywall.

Today, you can get them out of the jar.
Spray on is brilliant, forget about putting it to use in places like Lahore or Delhi until at least the folks over there get back on their bikes/carts/rickshaws, and stop burning coal. In doing that throws up a whole new bunch of issues though. 😛
Yeah, those hounds still have your address and will not let go of that bone. Fair to say with spam from some ebay sellers, you can redirect it to sp**@eb**.com.
Edit: Oh, here’s the link to the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition we spoke of years ago. 🙂

Haven’t seen SACDs or the players over here much at all, mostly because of a slightly limp impetus to go looking. Don’t recall them occupying the prime spots in any of the shop display windows either, funnily enough. They might have benefited from an ad campaign of Coca Cola magnitude geared really set the market on fire, and as things have turned out in latter years, likely to have set a lot off punters to the wall no doubt. 😛
It’s good they are in a cupboard, safe and sound and if the cupboard remains in good nick, soon to be collector’s items. A pleasant prospect for future fossickers. Termites decimated the cupboard in the top shed here, which necessitated ordering in replacement shelving, and if you have to ask, yes, metal. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Hmmm, one of the threads we really wanted ported over is the Dreams thread, and if that were not to happen, an appropriate thread title here might go something like: “I Dream of MeanSie Teams”. It’s bad, exacerbated by the knowledge that sporting such a rotten title in the forums won’t make things any better. 🙁

Some very good ideas from here:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/thegeshow/top-10-coolest-uses-of-solar-panels
The first link is gone, there’s this one in Chile or another in China for example. The one in the Sahara has its critics. 😛
Good idea with the bins though, get them enough power to trot away at COB to unload at the local disposal centre. Might be a thing. The outdoor urinals now popular in Europe could flush by the power of the sun as well, in fact an aesthetic integration into an attractive water feature would brighten up the environs for the delight of all. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

A fine collection indeed! Still back in primordial 768p here. 😛
Explored the Fetch range a little, they have a good range of content in the guide. Currently watching The Fall on a TV app though, as waiting for the providers to fix the bugs in other TV apps which make them almost impossible to use. Well into series 3 now, it’s beginning to induce a little tedium, thus increasing the tension leading up to the celebrations of these screaming streaming bugs being silenced once and for all. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Thanks! Cheers was indeed the missing ingredient. 🙂
Dropped the PHP version back down to 7.4 no change. 🙁
Opening up the page with Edge Tools, it displays!
And when duplicating that page tab, we get this page as visible:
https://www.stearnvault.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php?postType=page&postId=2383
However, clicking “Published” or the “Draft” tabs on the left gets the blank page again.
Perhaps one of our pages has a funny character?
Did also notice there is an error on the page with -ms-filter – not supported. see this very old thread:

[line 2] unknown property '-ms-filter' issue
byu/agent_orange1 incsshelp

The code is:

.iris-ie-lt9 .iris-square .ui-slider-handle {
-ms-filter: “alpha(Opacity=30)”;
}

Don’t think this is related.

[DeVaultSetter]

Yep, no reason not to consider “partner” as just a short form of partner in crime, it has the same varied meanings. 😛
One who by some misfortune happens to come up short on the means of pants procurement ends up panting for shorts! We’re getting lazy too, here, the home shoes are always referred to as shoes, despite really being espadrilles. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

You didn’t use the site editor to add the category? I’m a dumbo, please explain. 🙂
Where’s that Bonanza music gawn? 😛
What many say the cause of the blank Site Editor (we’re getting just one of the pages off the menu blank) theWordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) in Settings::General are a mismatch.
What the fields read initially was https://stearnvault.com, so modified the wp-config.php with an extra www in the relevant fields according to this post. No problem, until logging in again we got an error with https://www.www.stearnvault.com!
Fixed it again, but now there is in the greyed out fields the “www” in the https://www.stearnvault.com back (again?), great, but still has not fix the problem! 😛
The functions.php file hasn’t been changed since July, so it can’t be that.
WPBeginner talks about the Rest API, could that be an issue?

[DeVaultSetter]

Tried a hand at the MSN games Spades, the first thing was the old login is deprecated, now it’s either anonymous or only the MS account to login through FirebaseApp.
Fun, except the game screen won’t maximise in the browser and there’s a bug in the sound volume slider. The chat icons take a bit of getting used to as well.

[DeVaultSetter]

No worries, the theme update is in, too, so we’ll leave those rest awhile. 🙂
Couldn’t see the new category on the front page though, and something else really weird, go to:
https://stearnvault.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php
Select page from the left menu and get a blank page with a dark background. Do you get the same?

[DeVaultSetter]

Well, at least the government is showing signs of interest, else, if these don’t get an airing at all, the catchpenny gen pub will start freaking out about cover-ups! 😛
Rats, they lost the original film, would further analysis have revealed more? And -er- what are we to conclude if the deer hairs didn’t come from the suit? 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

How did Wayward Pines go?
Don’t recall the original BBS client used in the early nineties – might have been MajorBBS. Navigation, economy, and ease of use got so much better with Blue Wave in the way it processed the quk and rep files. Hyperterminal also had its uses. 🙂
Over here, they are also referred to as SLOs, (Subaru Legacy Outback), perhaps for the next gen-ers “station wagon” sounds even more back_in_the_day. Would your mum be happier with stationary wagon while at rest, and mobile wagon when in motion?

No takers for an OddBlog category yet? Will need to compose a dissertation on something completely eye-bloggling before committing!
Meanwhile, WP 6.7 is begging the question of how firmly our feet are planted on the hamster wheel, twisting and turning in an attempt to hasten our arrival to the potentially poisoned chalice of upgrated creeping features? Sounds delicious, really!

[DeVaultSetter]

Which one made it to pole position?
Can stock folded, sad as was a subscriber. The Splashy image was purchased for a couple of bucks, presumably the rights to the image don’t change.

[DeVaultSetter]

A C++ job to emulate a cmd console when prompting for input might be fun as well, along with the additional “Proper” case task for an extra sugar hit? It’s possible an old Dossite can be convinced after all! 🙂
It’ll want testing, thus the next step is to cautiously broach the bounds of temerity of any willing tester over at AFKMods. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

They are fabulous, keep them coming in! 🙂
The visits per day to the site are more than expected – e.g. October 2024, are these mostly robots do you think?
Note that page is for the SSL cert, the one without shows a little less info, and a much smaller visit stat.

Hmmm, there is also the Dashboard tab on the WP Toolkit page mentioned above. From memory we never addressed the Security and SSL/TLS issues as any changes might have affected the accessibility to OldSite and Family Tree. The irreversible security measures also contain an element of uncertainty leading to the onset of irreversible paranoia, something to be avoided at all costs! 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

No detailed or convincing explanation of how spice worked from memory, there was a short history of its use though.
The IMDB seems to be more “popularity” based, how would your average Joe react as opposed to yer regular discerning critic. The RT score for Extreme Measures is slightly below the IMDB score, as some parts of the film took on a rather shaky direction. Gene Hackmann vs. Hugh Grant went the way of chalk vs. cheese and the interplay of the goons in the plot lurched it back into the doldrums of B grade schlock. The building tension and dialog kept the movie afloat, just.

[DeVaultSetter]

Okay, so found this:

Selecting text on Android and iOS
When it comes to text selection, you’ll notice some variation on smartphones, because different operating systems may not allow app developers to enable text selection features in the same way. But these techniques should work smoothly in the most common apps, like web browsers, document editors, and note-taking apps, for example.

On Android, a double-tap or a long press on a word will select it in its entirety. But if you then want to select more words on either side of the first one, keep your finger pressed down and drag it around the screen. You can also tap and drag the blue handles that appear at the edge of selected text to extend the selection character by character.
….

When you select text, a pop-up menu will appear above it: Pick Select all from this menu (you may have to tap the three dots first) to highlight all the available text in a particular area. This might include all the text in a chat message, a field on a web form, or an entire document. This pop-up menu also gives you access to Copy and Share options you can use to move the text somewhere else.

A little involved perhaps, is that what you do?
