The Woods is on the list, and did see the Changeling many years ago, classic horror, and enjoyed the soundtrack especially.
Often wondered what it would be like if everything we receive in content is presented in a Sin City format. Especially news feeds, events of the world delivered by shadowy silhouettes in fedoras with low hoarse voices consumed by passion/hate/revenge, while brandishing nameless weapons of unknown origin and deadly accuracy. Include stills and dialogue balloons for extra effect. 🙂

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 to store it when done. Cleaning is also important, a self-cleaning mixer anyone?
One thing that cannot be avoided is noise, a good mixer always makes a good racket. 😛
Edit: It’s for making bread? Can it whip up a pumpernickel toast – as per Denzel?

If that guy on the sax had all the moves, they were sure busting to break out – just had to call 00111Loverboy for a primer! 🙂
Fast Five was fun, and the soundtrack didn’t disappoint:

In shelling the breeze, lets mention the collection of nice utilities on CodeProject, for example Intellifile is a shell replacement for explorer written in C.
A little hiccup occurred after logging to the site- have you seen the error before?

Oh, Falk is terrific in Colombo, too. Pencil in the Spielberg directed première classic “Murder By the Book” along with “Suitable for Framing” and “Candidate for Crime” for superb entertainment. 🙂
Problem was, the original b/w Village/Children of the Damned movies set the damned bar too high. 😛
Contrary to the criticisms of The Last Castle and a personal innate aversion to war flicks, it was entertaining enough not to invite any attention or even awareness to its flaws. Redford, despite many directorial flops directed himself rather well here and held the dynamism between the characters to keep the interest and tension alive. Point five of a recommendation. 😛

Oh my Zsh looks like a really friendly interface for terminal wrox, with the added bonus of batteries included, they say. 🙂
Yeah, a spaceship simulator to navigate the wide open parsecs, guess that’s all in NMS – heaps of others around like Universe Sandbox for instance.
Hibernation has reared its hiber-finicky visage yet again, now N++ will drop loaded files. 🙁
Oh, and this documents the origins of the Bourne Shell, fascinating.

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.
The durst scan window in the app was maximised, yet did not pick up any of the numbers or bar codes. Upon failure, it recommended a scan back at the website, tiny window, and unsurprisingly, same result. Lighting was not an issue, even post-eventide, so must be something with their OCR processing, who knows. No problems at all with the QR scanner btw.

[DeVaultSetter]

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.

Yeah, Scorsese’s yuppie nightmare cycle sounds like a fair addition to the burgeoning hamster wheel backlog over here. 🙂
Pretty sure that version of Firecracker showed up on FTA about a year ago, she was good in the action scenes at least.
Hope they bring Lawnmower Man to FTA here, anything from a Stephen King story is worth a gander. 🙂
Solace is a movie that got squinched by a meagre production schedule it seems. Just a bit more time in revisions and edits, even retakes to get it over the line, as it now stands, the pregnant pauses, bum lines, unexplainable or inconsequential events keep it at C grade. Still, Anthony Hopkins tells a joke. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes, seems OK, now have to test the rig on it. 🙂
Oh, and beneath the molded pulp packaging was, yes, the clear A3 sized instruction sheet for installation. Compare that to their Battery Cartridge Replacement Guide, being a tiny image that, despite taking a while to load in the browser, is still small enough to obscure the doc id (990-1603V) and date of publication (10/2005) at the top left. Directly under that are listed the model numbers followed by the visual instruction guides for the Back-UPS RS/XS units, which include the one in question here, fortunately.
Interestingly, the flip side of the hard-copy document also has a similar set of instructions for other models, for anyone wishing to download the unreadable and non-existent instructions for their legacy UPS’s, good luck with that. 🙂
It can serve as a quasi-knowledge resource so long as the search facility is active, otherwise it’s either Google if the pages have been spidered, or trawling thread by vaulting thread in the forlorn hope of locating any trace of treasure!

While searching through Dostips (mentioned previous page) came across this post:

DOS is an old operating system. DISK OPERATING SYSTEM. What you mean is batch is old but in reality as far as scripting languages and shells go it is not even as old as CSH or TCSH or Korn for that matter.

He forgot to mention Thompson on primordial Unix back in ’71. The only recollection of it now is the trusty Abort Retry Fail:

Hilarious. In that case, the “Tips” in DosTips isn’t Tips at all, maybe stands for “Taken in Playful Sense” or something between pejorative and playful? It’s kind of existential, help them out please. 😛

In Windows the only option provided is FAT32, could try an NFTS formatted flash for Recovery, could it be their program would actually query the file system?
No recovery required yet, as everything is fine now, as the deck chairs on the Titanic are all aligned and looking very comfortable. 🙂

Just succumbed the urge to oscillate from the thread regarding the blessed UPS batteries, they have eventually arrived, yay, as there happened to a bit of a hold-up. So was prompted at receipt of delivery to submit a review to Google, which was done, and as it has turned out, now showing at Google Maps.

Giant robots fighting fires even? First thing that comes up is the Dragon Firefighter which has seen some improvements:

Simon is funny, wonderful if he could pop up in a feed – never checked out theRegister before, cool stuff, doesn’t look as if they have a newsletter at this time.
A feeble attempt in worming out a new angle:

Dark Matter May Be a Deformed BLACK Mirror Universe, Scientists Say

Speaking of games, on the top of the bucket list is Disco Elysium, and yay, a few mods to explore. 🙂

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. The recovery program spat the dummy not recognizing the format. Windows did report 64gb as per volume info on the drive, so went ahead and formatted it through explorer – funny that it would format to no greater capacity than 32gb. Nevertheless, it’s functioning as a recovery drive, so in light of no response to the linked thread in above post, happy enough to leave it just so, even if there is insufficient reason not to continue (despite weird stuff like this for instance 😛 ). WinPE will for now remain a YA WinPD (Yet Another Windows Pipe Dream). 🙂

Looks very nice. Never had any luck over here with e-shavers and batteries, mainly because everything then was Ni-Cad. Which explains the preference for power straight from the sockets – (and hence the rickety connections 😛 ). So good idea to check on the efficacy and user experience of any battery powered units.
We’re in for some dry and warmer days now, so on the watch for fires. Not so many hazard reduction burns either this season.
Oh, and we forgot to say good-bye to Gundam. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

No problem with the actual shaving moves, even with the blades blunt as they are. The ultimate wish is for a blunt blade flash alert, requiring a snazzy kind of shaver with such self-check features. 🙂
Better performance in Freecell today.

Wonder why MS can’t provide direct urls for those results, other than more paying customers that is. 😛
Some years back, one of our local radio announcers has taken upon the task of creating short and ear-catching audio reviews of movies. Here he covers Alien: Romulus, and, true to form, does it rather well. As to the movie itself, sounds good, despite the fact the outcome of most in that franchise to date is rather depressing. 😛
Looking for a worm farm like this, will require the dimensions as it has to fit inside a metal box used as protection from mice.

My kind of movie, pity about the subtitles, on these screens one has to squint.
Johhny Mnemonic was a nice concept, the intro got you in, somehow the rest of it failed to retain much interest, probably attributable to a set of expectations of the movie at odds with those of the director. 😛
And now for something completely different, the 40 year Old Virgin ends with the following song:

Up here have an old Philips HQ6415, downstairs an HQ6946 which has an online registration posted somewhere.
Did get replacement blades three or four years ago for both, worn out again unfortunately. The big problem with these is the socket connector is too loose, so cord tends to fall out while in use. Might not be an issue with the pricier models, not entirely sure though.
Scalzi punches through with writing flaws? There would be me floored with a heavily punched chalk line all around! 😛
AI is taking over at such a pace that anything we can imagine it to be adorned with is already old hat! AI driven ASCII art might still have some surprises though. 😛
Got another pair of emails and a text message about a money request from someone on Paypal, can be a bit scary how they just allow all this stuff to get through to credulous clients. 😛

A rather irritating issue has cropped up with the HP, no usable mouse or keyboard at the UEFI. No-one is biting, hopefully something after posting a few more updates there?
Edit: Yes! It has an accepted solution, cross-linked to a new thread. 🙂
In the meantime, as W11 requires 32 GB on recovery drive (it has to be 32 GB not 31 or less), dug up an old 64 GB stick initialised 2016, from which there were errors reported over the years. The operation completed successfully, after which clicked Properties>Tools>Error Checking and it reported on the dialog that there were errors. After scanning there was:

Windows successfully scanned the drive. No errors were found.

A little voice is still saying “expect issues during recovery.” 😛
