Watched the Atomic Cafe as well – could have done with a little more curation, e.g. the electric chair segment didn’t appear to have much relevance.
Missed the bar of soap action – is it towards the end?
The government would want to actually consider issuing Bert the Turtle hazmats for likely affected populations – if nothing but for a morale boost!

There’s a good list of energy storage power plants here.
Because of copyright considerations, cross linking on The Atomic Cafe to Wikipedia talk regarding the appearance and location of the original cafe.

The_Atomic_Cafe movie courtesy of Youtube has the above shot of the vertical sign here, which appears similar to the sign on the Downtown Deco The Atomic Cafe DD56 Hydrocal Kit found at resellers like ebay and Amazon. Downtown Deco may indeed have the original image, along with the details of date and location, it may not be available in the public domain for some copyright arrangement, who knows?

Forgive the quality of Jo Mapes as seen on TV’s Greatest Game Shows of the 50s’ and 60’s

Dang it, Homer and Jethro do it with a bit more fi:

They’re a lot of fun too – here’s “A Screwball’s Love Song”:

Soap on a rope for extra convenience? Atomic Cafe at YouTube is on the list!
Mum also wanted Brief Encounter at IA, recommended, especially for Angela Lansbury’s debut and Rachmaninoff’s score.
Have you seen No Country for Old Men? Will have to rescreen it as some details were missed – although being a Cormac McCarthy construct, there is no hope for a satisfying closure in the ending scenes.
One of the high points of The Infernal Machine is a Goldberg machine. The plot is a nice idea, just more meat on the bones along with astute editing would have made it more palatable.
Looper had some weird bang pop timeline transitions at the start which seemed unnecessarily heavy, otherwise it was pretty good B grade action stuff.
If in the mood for gritty action revenge fare, don’t go past The Foreigner – it’s a smooth, well-choreographed affair that will keep you hanging on all the way until the end! Recommended! 🙂

What’s your favourite Scalzi title? Here’s a quote attributed from Scalzi:

I am not responsible for actions of the imaginary version of me you have inside your head,

Sounds like a retort in haste – he’ll probably deny ownership. The version template of Scalzi in his own mind must have a set of immutable characteristics translatable to the mind of another (preferably non-schizoidal specific) individual. One assumes it’s the imaginary actions of this imaginary version of himself in focus. Could there indeed be more than one version of him inside our heads – including one real, and another imaginary? Are both versions capable of real and imaginary actions? And can we infer from the quote that he is happy to claim full liability for any actions by the real version of him inside our heads?
Airships are a super idea – have the advances in technology since their heyday capable of making a difference in their safety I wonder?
What We Can Know is on the list here – will a future 100 years hence be as he describes?
The mysteries of Brood parasitism are manifold and complex – for instance the time the hatchlings leave the nest before the hosts detect the hijack.

There’s movie gold in dem dere vaults for sure – you just have to dig it out!
Speaking of which, a friend recommended Tron for its striking musical score – so caught it at IA. Not one for hard core movie buffs, more for those just wanting a spectacular sight/sound/motion hit. The balance and arrangement of the colours on screen exhibited certain harmonies.
There aren’t too many recommended IA lists – we could start our own blog if time. For example here’s two pages of classics from Letterboxd, another one from IA is an old Film Noir list.
Mum wanted to see Gaslight, so embedded it here:

Adds a bit to the page load time! The click to play image doesn’t appear to work with direct links however (IA’s one doesn’t either), fortunately a click in the black soup gets the movie on the go. 🙂
Staying in the time capsule, TV’s Greatest Game Shows has plenty of surprises in store along with games I never new ever existed. 🙂

It’s already here. 🙂
So watched Distant Cousins on Tubi, terrible and left it on autoplay. Up came The Night Caller, then The Perfect Tenant followed by 100 feet. All terrible, and there was about them an aura and feeling that the production crew in all these films were escapees from some institution for the criminally insane, (as was the terminology then). Turns out that fitted in quite well with an underlying theme found throughout all of these flicks. 😛
On a lighter note, FTA had A Serious Man where the Coens had a bit of fun with dybbuks and professors followed by a few chuckles from While We’re Young.
On a much lighter note, Are You Being Served is on FTA again, a genuine crowd pleaser thanks to the pausing for, and pacing of the punchlines, clear diction and well-defined stereotypes. Recommended for its general good cheer. 🙂

Clog? Well then, a self cleaning unit, else a plugin or daisy chained robot with a vac and broom – wearing a toque blanche preferably. 🙂
Something like Clyde?

Just as our Admirable Crichton had seen on the final evolution of Mediasaurus, only the true visioneer would ever conceive of Social Mediasaurus, and we hope his estate has filed a patent request for the concept accordingly. He never did turn the torch to full blown comedy by tipping his hat to our beloved institutions and inventors with such titles as The Infirmary Patent, Low Patency, A Patently Patinated Portent of Patent Pending, The Andromeda Patent Brain Strain Drain – need we go on?

[DeVaultSetter]

Missed that! Place it on a rotating base and spin it around for a truly turnary file operation!
Do enjoy fruit loaves- can the bot do those? Muffins anyone?
Colossal Biosciences claim copyright on images of their creations apparently. Hopefully not artists’ impressions or even cartoonery – interestingly over here there’s Dodo which often runs ads showing an appropriate image as a logo. If CB sued them and Dodo lost, they would become extinct- thus their image should remain, no? 😛

There was discussion back here as to whether it could be classed as a mockumentary, perhaps it was intended as a documentary, but lines got blurred somehow in the making of it. Who knows – will have to see it. 🙂
Natural Enemy is a bad film, bad in the sense that a well-rounded cast must needs be slotted into the square hole of a pretty vacant plot. Crummy dialog and action make for a rather generous RT rating of 39%. Quick snappy scene changes and alarming music do nothing special other than speed up the bad. The scene with Chris Robards and Jeremy Harper in the tub was the high point. 😛
Currently streaming I, Jack Wright, more for seniors perhaps, modest fare with a rather enticing storyline. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Got a link for those? There’s quite a bit of that stuff on Youtube as well as IA – just a simple matter of girding one’s trawling nets. 😛
The Little Things from a few years back, flows nicely along almost as a mood piece until something predictable or gawkish pops up in the plot of dialogue leading up to a rather nothing ending. Something about it speaks half-done, despite the excellent cast.
If you like movies centred on obnoxious individuals flying off the hinge, then pencil in Sympathy for the Devil (2023 film) for a quiet night. No hesitation for recommendation – especially when old disco numbers like the following juke up:

Not sure, CObjType might be a reference to CObj ?? records. From the WB readme:

(COBJ) Constructible Object — Skyrim and later

Which doesn’t make sense unless it had a previous alias. Is it possible to determine what’s using it?
MWSE references COBJmacros and GCOBJ
PQSORT is used in Daggerfall of all places, courtesy of Dave. 🙂

Sorry, there’s too much on this hard disk (including old versions of VS etc). The move away from VS is understandable though, will get Meson loaded on the HP once the move downstairs is complete. 🙂

Normally shy away from anything given a 13% rating from RT, the critics were a little kinder but still short on redeeming features.
Boogie Nights is unforgettable with laughs and licks-a-plenty, and worth a re-watch.
Streaming The Gulf, a basic boondocks police procedural with barely enough content to push the plot of the underlying theme through to its inevitable conclusion. In stark contrast, the theme is quite psychedelic:

Installed Eternium on the tablet, looks gorgeous. Apparently the in-game purchases aren’t a must have. Reviews on Steam are more mixed than on Google Play – for this one I clicked the like button and got:

You must be logged in to perform that action

Might be related to their handling of non-US accounts e.g. clicking the posted link from this Reddit thread requests a new login even if already logged in Chrome. Immediately after got this in an email:

t looks like you are trying to log in from a new device. Here is the Steam Guard code you need to access your account: …

The Steam Guard wasn’t called upon in Chrome however.

More adorable content for our landfills, can we ever get enough labubus?

Cdialog looks as if it can do the job at least – haven’t got the toolchain setup for as yet. Doesn’t look as if it is invoked anywhere. Should be in the module which manages the click events for menus and/or buttons – has this always been the case?
The dialog is supposed to open when ID_SETACTIVE is clicked – hmmm this is a CListCtrl – e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1462895/how-to-detect-a-clistctrl-selection-change
Try something like the following at this line:
m_FileList.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

Doesn’t look like the labels, types, relationships, milestones etc. are all out of bounds – no permissions to close an issue either.
Sounds good. 🙂
Link over the module with file_open, and shall take a look. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Definitely for the bin. 🙂
Amassing a fine bunch of issues so it looks like priority labels are in order – cake – fruit cake – fruit cake with icing – fruit cake with icing and glacé cherries … or such. 😛

You mean the vcxproj filter files – they’re for project file organization. If they are not custom filters, then safe to remove. To test, remove them and load the project in VS, hoping everything is where they should be. 🙂

Yes, it’s happened again here. There were two identical bubble notifications for this thread, clicking one gets to the post, the other remains cemented on the bar:

You have 1 new reply to Duplicate Bubble Notification Woes from Spastic Hamburger

The url now directs to the top of this thread.

Duplicate Bubble Notification Woes

The expected behaviour is for other notifications to be working, while the acknowledgement of each one contributes to the count of the first.
