Do recall Ad Astra on FTA here some years back- it’s bound to make a re-appearance sometime.
Really that bad? Most of the FTA streaming sections boast a comprehensive line-up of goodies, old and new, it’s the migration over to Fetch that has uncovered bugs that make streaming more screaming than ever before. A lot of it appears to be on the Fetch side, which seems to indicate they are in thrall of the big commercial streaming companies.
Doesn’t harm to check the DVDs in the hand-me-down stores from time to time, last month someone here donated seasons 1-9 of Futurama!
Rocket fuel came up recently in Random, how about the spice they use in Dune? The film runs at a steady, regal pace, weaving in much detail from the novel into the panoramic and immersive experience. One of the critics said she didn’t appreciate the jokes. Huh? Nothing in there was LOL, in fact not even a grin emerged for this countenance, as methinks it was not the purpose of the direction. Never got the feeling MENA actors were absent either, a thing more attributed to individual interpretation and understanding of casting and characterization. A thing most viewers wouldn’t feel the urge to worry about too much after watching a film like Dune. πGood idea! π
Anything LTUAE is fine, or something a little left field, as was on the radio today, Orifice AI anyone? The PokΓ©mon and Disney threads in Teams had some interesting responses – is it possible to port any of the best-of over to a Blog format?
Another item of interest is how to use internet star databases to search for particular star types (or even other celestial bodies) – some links here. πThis is the kind of thing that makes life in shared residential arrangements quite unpleasant. What’s worse is when it comes to use of common areas there’s no hard and fast legal guidance despite the ones specific to the HOA. If there is any way they can be induced to step on a legal trigger plate, then make a case, and take it to Judge Judy or similar, they’ll love it. Then kindly invite them over for a nice cup of tea, and offer to play back for them, on widescreen 4k format and surround sound, the recording of their day in court, replete with every detail of their defeat, the penalty being imposed, along with a sound and liberal admonishing from the good judge. Let’s hope it will play a part in welcoming them as happier and wiser dwellers of the friendly neighbourhood. π
Another one with a good soundtrack bursting with Bacharach numbers like Girls Know How. π
There is a lot of tension in Hereditary where things get a little bezonkers, especially Toni Collette, which explains the downvotes from the “average cinema-goer” according to CinemaScore. Well put together movie, recommended if really good old horror sugar hits are in short supply. πDespite “The North Wind and the Sun” still being used in phonetic sampling there were some who preferred to cry wolf. As it so happens, the wolf is in AI clothing now, because telling the difference between human and AI voice samples requires more of a better set of ears than before. Something the likes of Presbycusis have no answer for. π
Both updated, and the backup on the backburner broke the back of the learner. π
Ew, the width of the Admin content has shrunk again. Could ever be so bold as to point the finger at Robinβs take on WordPress coding standards and PHP changes?Belkin make really good stuff, so will keep an eye out. Have to replace an aging 6 outlet power board and – er – a few more around as well. π
The Back-UPS seems to be working after the battery change, although the same thing still happened with the HP, until the realization the UPS settings are per computer, and not stored on the unit. Awaiting confirmation for that. π
Something happened to the post dates on that site when it migrated back in ’21, some of my older posts were redated to that date like these ones from around 2017 now all having the same date of β2021-06-28 06:40 AM
. π
Could it be “AI” behind it – time then to hit the Wikipedia comment pages. πBackup performed. The bbp style pack has an update:
The second of several technical releases which will help bring this plugin up to date with all the latest WordPress coding standards and PHP changes.
Sounds good as well – shall we update?
Even the idea of persuading folks to setup, operate, and champion such clinics is itself enough to warrant such an argument. Design hint: all doors, windows and fittings are to be unhinged, to match the profiles of the inmates. π
The first of the two “jokes” in First Cow went like this:
What side of a tree grows the most leaves? Answer: The outside!(Grinberg’s next project: convert the engine of a Model T Ford into a Hybrid, and while we are on the topic of transportation and spheres, there is the Dynasphere, a modification for which could be implemented at funfairs to replace or augment dodgem cars. π
Back in the day, organ shops were ubiquitous as everybody had to have one. These days, the merchants can barely raise the capital to scrub out the old signs and replace them with the updated inventory. Wanna Hammond organ? Here’s a deal, we’ll throw in a few extra cobwebs for free!
The Sentinels sound formidable, are they anything like those from the X-Men?From Evil Dead to Meatballs – heck that’s some leap of genre, a mighty fine soundtrack as well. Love Moondust and of course the title track. On the list for an encore view!
And now, for a double leap of genre (or bovine over the moon), First Cow with the 4:3 aspect nicely includes a retro touch to the experience. As the film does not boast whizbangery in the sets or a quotable grab-bag of fortune cookies, expectations might be dampened, the impression here was … basic, expecting, and above all, unforgettable. The evocation of the humanity, cakes, and the circumstances will surely change the way we see cows. πWere you focussing on the Blog pages as everything elsewhere seems rather presentable, the only other thing to consider is a Child Theme, which of course means many more hours of futzing around, and the worry new versions of the parent theme will upset something. π
The Batman with ads consumed most of the evening. All the sounds of Gotham are imbued in the all pervading dark noise, thereby detracting a little from the impact of the fine score and dialogue. The purpose of the Riddler murders at the beginning seemed to get lost in other incongruities, his later revealed character turned out to be an interesting contrast. The characters and visuals/effects make this worth watching, despite the slightly amorphous plot. Recommended! π
Interesting, that’s in Italian – are you conversant, or like me, dependent on subscripts.
Do recommend the first two Rush Hour flicks, superb choreography and LOL moments. π
The Assignment is on FTA tonight:Dr. Rachel Jane is a rogue plastic surgeon with a twisted vision of a better world.
What we need is more folks with a better vision of a twisted world. π
Might ditch that for Copycat instead. πYeah with the predicted storm surges, (as with the bushfires over here) the best prep is skedaddle. π
It’s really bad. The interactive map is not really all that intuitive, it would be better for the legend to update on the checkbox selections.Sounds good. π
There’s becoming a multitude of bits of info accumulating in the rest of forums, getting the search back online would be nice, is there any ETA of a fix in the works?
Also a bit nary about videos, the WP ones are mostly straight to the point, without content harping on about the video maker’s business operations or life story. πA big one, so gales up your way still. π
It’ll be howling over poor old Tampa for sure, so folks be wanting to strap down their roofs and light weight boats and vehicles.[Post moved] hope that’s okay. π
Very interesting thread! As noted in the last bit of the second answer to this question, a consideration is the fuse going if the MOV gets too hot for risk of fire.
Don’t think Zero Surge do units for Australian power outlets, found this for the aerial, something with more outlets would be nice. The Surge Interceptor up here is now a H/W relic, this old post mentions the listing at Wayback, no pictures captured for some reason.
The local Dick Smith electronics store automatically replaced old faulty ones with new, no charge, the labour required to analyse, order and replace components in the unit often exceeds the value of a new unit. The store closed around 2018, so now left with this unit, still functional with the outlets, but connections with the aerial now cause pixellation on the set, so slow burn happening somewhere. πHow much is fuel? Bound to be plenty of oil on that tropical planet, any use for spaceships?
Remember Tobor the Great? Just in case it has slipped from memory, there’s a nice review here. π -
