Who was LN2? Is he/she still around? Talking of which, the Chiki ngebul or dragon’s breath candy is all the rage!

Pity it’s not safe, but what do you expect from a name like dragon’s breath?
Bit of a cold snap over here, so the fire is definitely alive and – firing!
As with the above, most of my nursery requirements have been local, else it’s a quick visit over to Daley’s, great service, and as tends to be the case these days, most of the really good gets are on backorder. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

🙂 It’s a beauty!
Although the Australian cicada provides a different template for sound, would it ever make it on the Marvel or DC stage? A question which no doubt can deliberated over the following background calls.

[DeVaultSetter]

Yes it’s a bit of a steep learning curve over here with diagnosing such things with the Edge Tools, so nicely caught!
A shade of grey between the active tab colour and the background colour may still not reveal any text on hover, in which case a shade darker than the background colour might work. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Cool! 🙂 One of these? Let me guess the colour – Farout Pink?
Packs a serious punch then what with the option of even 128Gb RAM – and the GPU looks like it could handle more than two monitors – not sure how the USB-C works, but yeah. A UPS might be handy as well in dealing with impromptu power outages. The cooling should be fine, as long as the dust is minimal, and you can get in to clean the fans.
What’s the paint job on the workbench again – we want nothing less than a masterpiece in oils! 🙂
Yeah, he’s settled down a bit. the vet said there could have been a lot of irritation from the tube-in-mouth during the op.

Any idea of the grape variety? Could be the muscadine which has many cultivars apparently.
Vinegar is a really good descaler, for total clean Sodium Metabisulphite came to mind, briefly, as it’s very unpleasant to work with. It requires absence from the room while it is bubbling through the pipes after which it has to be all flushed out with water, making it totally messy and over complicated. A working video might attract a certain Youtube crowd. 😛
Christmas in July perhaps? Could also be a novel way of stocking up with XMAS gear now, for the crowd pleasing effect of putting all those items on sale when the season actually arrives!
Replacing a lavender planted last year which died most probably because of insufficient sunlight (it was a wet year), a Blueberry Lavender “Ruffles” has been put in a slightly sunnier position nearby. Thing is, despite it being bred for Australian (think sunny) conditions, there’s only about half a day direct sun available, the rest is filtered, so hope it’s enough.

Yep, only a very mild interest for the Amityville Horror, so one viewing was enough. It was publicized extensively though, MAD’s Calamatyville Horror was better.

Faintly remember seeing Piranha, will keep an eye out!
“Steven Spielberg called the film “the best of the Jaws ripoffs”” 🙂

The FTA Interview with a Vampire completed last night, it comes as a slightly different angle to the vampire mystique, apparently water isn’t so bad, and they are susceptible to (spoiler) opiates & arsenic. Still, a well told story, and could indeed be worth a second viewing – in twenty years time. 🙂

Portlandia skits bring back memories of MADTV, esp. anything art/food/entertainment:

[DeVaultSetter]

🙂 Wow, it’s coming together really nicely. Some of the pink items contain text, might be better if it was a darker shade.
The edit profile page has a white text box in the white space – might be hard to see for some – (that’s if they ever knew what to put in there. 😛 )

[DeVaultSetter]

That’s really great news, congrats. 🙂
There’s a fair bit of info on the W10 page, the best thing is to get another drive, and as they say, just physically remove the pop!_OS drive when installing Windows, and replace it when complete.
Love to see the specs when you get it, good way to share them publicly is with what I use, CPUZ – no doubt there are alternatives with different flavours.
Will get to the other threads tomorrow, at this time am very well occupied with garden chores and firewood for winter, and the dog had his teeth cleaned, along with a couple of extractions. He has a bit of a cough as a result. 🙁

Problem with streaming app.
To facilitate troubleshooting, here’s a wish: include in Task Manager option (or Sysinternals?) to prioritize a specific browser tab internet quota, so that other internet consuming processes are (semi) suspended. At the time of last check, there were scripts in AHK that have come close, else Nirsoft might have something – more research required!

[DeVaultSetter]

Boot is surprisingly well behaved the last few days.
Now it’s this logi m350 crumbum of a despicable wireless mouse button not working. All is not lost, as someone suggests a small spray of lube on the joints:

Logitech have lumped all kinds of different problems with a bunch of possible solutions. If nothing else, it saves space for extra content on their web pages. 😛

Following posts affected!

Noticed in that wpbeginner link the first few user comments refer to posting in tabs which have remained “logged in” when logging out has occurred on another tab. Has that happened to you at all?
Also, just as a general rule of security here, I de-activated wp-phpmyadmin as it has vulnerabilities when not used. Posted for clarification here.

[DeVaultSetter]

Okay, thanks, sorry about that – will post to WP troubleshooting if you like, is there any detail you think I should include?

Got some mushroom solar lights in the garden which all need new batteries, got the batteries, now all that’s required is the time to do them. 😛
🙂 Over here there’s a local-community.org hub which can double as a lost/found noticeboard. Apart from one item several years ago, there have been sporadic reports of pets (mainly dogs) going missing, and consequently found. Might be an idea for the local government to hand the baton over to the post office or even the public library to handle lost/found property matters. It’s probably been done before, and hasn’t worked. 😛
Entanglement is a mystery- the distance was discovered to be over 1200km – how much can it get to?
Been busy in the garden preparing for a dry season(s) ahead, along with the manual control of weeds, especially renegade blackberry growth. Fun. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Did you end up seeing it? If memory serves, it was forgettable, the comics were much better – and Gerber’s Destroyer Duck was a hoot!
Yeah, the grindhouse element puts a damper on any schlock comedy. what would make me giggle is the insertion of canned laughter where inappropriate. 😛
Northwater was brutal, a stark reminder of how challenging life an be without the conveniences of today. No repeat viewing here.
Right now, streaming Clean Sweep, it’s quite polished, so hoping there will be a second series. Not so with Wayward Pines – it kind of dragged on for too long, with a gloomier outcome than one might have expected.

[DeVaultSetter]

Great, things look to be coming together nicely. The notifications page is improved, but for the white block in the middle – can that be changed?
Also, the LI post edit takes it outside the transparency filter. like this…

Great tip, thanks, found a short guide here: https://www.washington.edu/doit/tech-tips-troubleshooting-windows-linux-live
Each power on it either

Boots, shows the Windows log, freeze/lights out on keyboard after 2-3 secs

Boots, shows the Windows log0 and “Preparing Automatic Repair”, freeze/lights out on keyboard after 2-3 secs

Boots, shows black, then reboots

Also, when navigating the UEFI menu, it can freeze randomly.
So, yep, how do we know whether it’s the CPU chip, or something else on the mobo (the memory is fine I think). Once the machine is booted, it is fine for hours on end (mostly)!

[DeVaultSetter]

Well done, thanks. 🙂
Just curious, what will be added into the view by syncing Buddypress, there seems to be quite a lot under consideration.

[DeVaultSetter]

😛 Spoke too soon, something might be going a bit wonky in the circuitry, placed an enquiry at asrock for either confirmation or good news, either of which will cheer up this poor soul, if it comes back all of a froth and bubble with a nerdy computer joke. 😛
Edit: A little bit worse today – replied the post over there (can’t edit them) – it only seems to boot up to Windows when it feels like it after 5 or 6 attempts. 🙁
Might be looking at the W11 machine up here in that case.

Forgot to mention I took a backup of the wiki content, will PM it to you, it’s less than 400kb. If there is no sensitive info in there, I can put it in the public files section of OldSite. 🙂
