For the Oblivion system, have you tried replacing the coin cell battery? When they go belly up, the board can start doing some funky things.

Yeah, sounds like it’s time to replace the aging workhorses. Always sad when a piece of tech dies 🙁

Yeah, that’d work if you’re looking for pretty basic. You may want to upgrade the cooling a bit if you go with it, though. In my experience, the mass market brands often cut corners with the cooling so things can get a bit hot when you’re playing a game. Should also run No Man’s Sky, which I highly recommend you try at some point 🙂

Upgrading can…[Read more]

The sequel isn’t much better. It spends nearly two hours focusing on his sister’s PTSD. It does have a redeeming feature: Weird Al makes a brief appearance. Still have half an hour left. Ugh but I’ll finish it. Once I start one, I force it through. I got through Plan 9! 😛

I need a good creature feature. I haven’t had a good one since Humanoids…[Read more]

Random memory: many moons ago when I was in the market for a Blu-ray player, the store told me to buy a PS3 instead. Needless to say, I went to a different shop to get one. 😛

😀

Saw the Halloween remake yesterday. Haven’t seen the first one so I don’t have much to compare it to but it came off as a rather run of the mill slasher. We had to sit through a good half hour or so of build-up before the story actually started, showing Michael in the asylum. While it was good to give them a backstory, I felt they overdid it…[Read more]

Is it possible to set it up as a tree-view using something like graphviz? Would be a fun way to browse through the history 🙂

Hopefully it goes relatively smoothly. What really irks me is when a library deprecates a function but doesn’t provide a similar function for the task, keeping from being able to upgrade. Gets pretty annoying sometimes 😛

Yuck! No options in the account settings to limit the emails? Never used Ali’s sites before

The search section is pretty…[Read more]

And from Alaska:

“Kangaroos are not allowed in barber shops at any time.”

Some of them really make you wonder 😛

Yuck. Asbestos can be messy. 🙁

Awesome! Doing an image search shows a lot of them on a banana but what about a bus being enclosed in a banana? That could be fun!

Probably the Libra. I quite like the form factor: it’s roughly the size of a hardback book so it feels quite natural in my hands when I’m reading it. 🙂

Really, my only complaints are some of the software bugs but they’re more annoyances than deal breakers. 🙂

Yeah, I’m a big fan of salvias. Here, they can stay around a few years before going…[Read more]

Finally! The next one I get in a few years will be a color model 🙂

Not sure about those stats but Constitution definitely does! 😛

Moving on to the Cult Films category 😀

Yeah, haven’t seen In the Heat of the Night either but I’ll add it to the list.

Yep, the Ray Bradbury theater is quite fun! All of those series are fun and let’s not forget Thriller with Boris Karloff!

Saw this gem yesterday that I’ve been…[Read more]

Whelp. I asked the smart speaker what was playing and it said, “Noise”. I figured that much out so I’m assuming it was the song name but it usually gives me a band name, too. This is what happens when you leave out the artist! 😛

How long does the system work when you don’t have access to the main grid?

We have been working with AHK V1 for quite some time. 😛

Will it be very difficult to update the scripts?

I’ve got a hat like that somewhere! 😀

And some Python:

😀

And then you have Bloody Murder, which was unintentionally hilarious due to how bad it was and the mistakes. YouTube search is bad but there’s a scene where a guy is carrying dodgeballs and then gets a stake through the heart. He then proceeds to wander a ways off before dying off when a dodgeball is spontaneously kicked into view. As soon as I…[Read more]

Yep! Just don’t listen to them as much as I used to even though I still enjoy them 🙁

And that led me to Sinatra:

I miss these old songs!

😀 Book is only a few USD, probably worth snagging. 🙂 Shame it seems to be out of print, though, even though the website is still being updated.

Yeah, a lot of businesses have them here and they’re going nuts! I’ve been trying to eradicate elephant ears from my garden with limited success. Tried digging them out and they come back. Tried dowsing…[Read more]

Is the new one still using Roku or are they switching to a different backend?

Awesome! I like anologue clocks myself. Partly because I like the ticking!

Yep, tweezers of all sizes are indispensable! Splinters (never fun), repairs, and more! You may be able to find a kit with several sizes. 🙂

Not exactly. After Maxx “C” is activated, whenever the other player summons a monster then the player who activated Maxx “C” draws a card. So: Summon -> Other Draws -> Summon -> Other draws rinse and repeat. If they draw Sales Ban, then you’re essentially out of luck with drawing during their turn as they’ll likely have other cards that’ll lock…[Read more]

Yeah, grading a weird area. A lot of collectors like it but I personally don’t see the draw. It’s not like you’ll be able to open the comic up after it’s been sealed! I want to read it! 😛

I’d do it for something that I find special, though. Maybe for a certain issue that speaks to me or was a friendship gift or the like. 🙂

There’s also…[Read more]
