Spastic Hamburger

Nope. Used to follow their RSS feed but it doesn’t look like they have that anymore? May need to sign up for the newsletter then 🙂 Biggest worry with Mailchimp would be if someone gained access to their database and got you on more spam lists. Not exactly an ideal situation 😛

That gives me an idea for floating brooms for a theme park ride. Will…[Read more]

Yep, Boing Boing is pretty good about giving attribution! Been a favorite blog of mine for close to twenty years now. 🙂

And check out the retro about page 😀

Yep, it’s come a long way from what I’ve read. Playing without mods for now, I may install them later on. 🙂

The visuals are pretty stunning without mods and the game runs pretty well on…[Read more]

That’s one of the few older Bond films I haven’t seen yet, even though I got the Blu-Ray collection some years back. I really need to catch up on the rest 😛

Saw Jason X the other day and the plot was very cliche but it was still fun to see things in space for the novelty factor. Definitely not a classic or anything but good for a rainy day 🙂

🙁 Sometimes, keeping the old sites around is still useful as people may prefer the specific interface and it helps keep things familiar. They may also have features that the other product may not have.

Yeah, I’d much rather deal with ads than a paywall myself, especially for a site I will not use often. In that, paying a subscription doesn’t…[Read more]

Of course the cover is going on my list to snag 😛

May try to check out the comic, though. Could be fun!

Cool! So we can just consider Star Wars an unofficial adaption of the series. 😛

😀

And a little something for the holidays:

😀 Used to be able to watch The Benny Hill Show on BBC America, wonder where it is now. Will need to find out! Probably BritBox or Acorns TV 😛

Yeah, The Phantom wasn’t really my cup of tea either. I always found that sort of thing did better as a radio broadcast but I may perhaps be a bit old fashioned 😛

Saw April Fool’s Day the other day and…[Read more]

Yeah, I remember how Windows used to overwrite my newer video drivers with some that were several years old. It broke things when it did that! 😛 Fortunately, it seems that Microsoft has fixed that issue 🙂

Sorry for missing this! Know it’s been six weeks but any luck yet?

Speaking of, I need to get my own drivers updated at some point, specifically the video drivers. Been a ton of updates since I got the new system and I haven’t been keeping up. 😛

Let’s hope it helps! There is a plugin available that lets you add snippets to the site so they don’t get lost during a theme update. Might be worth looking at once we get BuddyPress updated (I’ll try to get those threads up this weekend if you don’t beat me to it) 🙂

The city was using a robotic lawnmower yesterday to clean up the roadways and that thing was quiet! Was fun watching it for a few minutes while the guy manipulated the controller 🙂

Power Girl has an interesting cover coming out in February: https://s3.amazonaws.com/comicgeeks/comics/covers/large-4994261.jpg?1700346193

Of course, Batman has a…[Read more]

Been a big fan of the site for years. It’s a great way to keep track of some of the more obscure films that I like 😀

I only watched the first six episodes or so of La Brea before I gave up on it. Too much just didn’t make sense! For example, the ambulance landed miles away from the portal (how, they never explained) and was still in working…[Read more]

Yep! 😀

I usually go west since there are a lot fewer people 😛

In terms of quality, I think the East coast has better quality personally. 🙂

The one I went to the other day had interesting facilities. They hadn’t yet rebuilt it from the hurricane a few months ago so the facilities were still in the marshlands, upside down. Pretty hard to use…[Read more]

I think what we did was turn off the previous plugin in most places but I’m not entirely sure.

Yeah, I think it’s a side-effect of how they function. Granted, I don’t know a whole lot about server stuff 😛

Could be that the caching only affects the index? I think the previous plugin we used had the same behavior

😀

Sounds good! I may be getting a sub to Nature or Science for my birthday, which would be nice as well. 🙂

Yeah, I miss the RSS days. Now it’s too hard to keep up with everything! I’m finding that it’s much easier to follow print than it is to follow the sites. Most stuff on the sites now is too abbreviated for my liking. They used to be a lot…[Read more]

BLOOP 😀

No idea! It’s amazing what the atmospheric conditions do to the sound!

And Ganymede!

Space sounds are awesome!

Lovely!

And, in a similar vein, NASA released audio clips of Mars: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/sounds/?playlist=mars&item=mars-helicopter-flying&type=mars 😀

I have two but you can add more if you want greater accuracy or a larger playing area.

I’ve noticed that it doesn’t occur as often if I turn the controller on before the computer. This morning, though, it started crackling while the computer was going through POST so I flipped the controller off and back on again and that got them back up and…[Read more]

Seems to be a bit more inconsistent when logged out but that should be okay but it’s something we may want to look at further if we ever open the forums up to the public more 🙂
