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
DeformedBLACK Mirror Universe, Scientists SaySpeaking of games, on the top of the bucket list is Disco Elysium, and yay, a few mods to explore. π
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 π ). WinPE will for now remain a YA WinPD (Yet Another Windows Pipe Dream). π
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 π ). 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. π- This reply was modified 4 months ago by DeVaultSetter.
Ugh, did she hurt it, or is it just wear and tear? From what I gather, there’s a bit of travel involved, too far for the bike?
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. π
Better performance in Freecell today.
Wonder why MS can’t provide direct urls for those results, other than more paying customers that is. π
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. π
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.Also broach the idea of signing up to Stearnvault, where among such goodies on offer there is an option of a jolly good old talking to, at absolutely no extra charge. That is, to them at least, over our way an impost on sensibilities will occur if and whenever the user signup process tanks! π
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. π
And now for something completely different, the 40 year Old Virgin ends with the following song:
Update for bb Style Pack pending, more options on new posts in the offing. π
Got this through alerts, they’re finding issues with widgets as well, unsurprisingly.
It’s kinda nice to promote their stuff through the site, maybe a backburner milestone for a links page someday. πFunny, there’s no “Stats” in the Dashboard here, did you manage to add one in?

FWIW super professional is the vibe over here. Thanks, will check out the site on the tablet as well. π
Will the CSS allow for the three items in the nav. bar be right aligned I wonder?The D/L info on BOSS is sadly out of date, looks like most are using LOOT now as we all know. Still use BOSS here as most LO dependent mods here haven’t changed. π
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! π
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. π
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. πFade to grey is just the thing for the theme, lime-green, sky blue or cherry red much more of a challenge for an easy eye.
BTW the top ribbon is the same as it was, it’s fine to leave it that way if that is what you wish. πA 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. π
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.” π

Good to hear. π
Saw that mentioned on the news, pretty big storm then, did it affect all of Florida? over here, one to two feet usually results in floods. πIt’s safe to say there was an acute awareness of the two HDRs, even though a little voice piped up to say, “yes, play Oblivion with this on in windows, and you won’t have to worry about the HDR in the game settings.” Pixies have teamed up with goblins again. In any case, there’s another reason to skip the Windows HDR settings on the ViewSonic, is that the display renders as mush. This in general nowadays is of relevance to the potential user of a feature, that a mfg’s claims of that feature on a product is simply not enough evidence for that feature to be present and functional, the feature has to be certified by an external authority.
Blech. πMy preferred way is to defeat him with his own deck in his own game, however there could be unforessen consequences if he is a sore loser.
Else, ask him to provide specifics about what he sees in the deck as trashy, and what he thinks is a better alternative on each point raised. If he cannot or will not continue the conversation, either put on, or offer up one of these:
πMerlin’s name was actually Emrys, only used by Druids and diviners in the show.
Their reason for ethereal plots is that ghosts are of that composition, an idea that could have been conveyed in the film’s prologue, Carradine would have been the perfect choice. π
Original Sin is not so much a film to watch as a film, but to play as a mood piece, the Cassanova voice of Banderas, the musical voice of Jolie amidst lilting and seductive Latin arrangements of guitar and strings. Costumery, set arrangements and actor dynamics are accentuated with nice camera work. Despite the very voluptuous Angelina in the intimate scenes, the 12% at RT is a thing, in that the events in the film don’t interrelate all that well, along with the incongruities – Jack Thompson’s American accent is a hoot. π
As Good as It Gets offers an intriguing interplay of disparate characters in a block in downtown Manhattan, film evolves nicely too, ending could have been condensed a little perhaps.- This reply was modified 4 months, 2 weeks ago by DeVaultSetter.
Looks much better! π
Thought it might be worth throwing in a passing mention to the old LOTR TCG (not to be confused with the LOTR Card Game) in the off chance you had not seen it. There was quite an adverse reaction to the game at the time, hopefully The Players’ Council have made the game playing experience more palatable for the detractors. -
