Spastic Hamburger

Fortunately, BBC sells a lot of their series on their online store so I may be able to get caught up at some point. Definitely love British dramas. They’re so much better than what we turn out!

Finally got around to watching Revenge of the Sith. Without reading the reviews first (no idea how it’s regarded), in my personal opinion it wasn’t bad…[Read more]

No but we can have rocket-side chats!

Haven’t really shopped but I’ve definitely explored before. Also, art museums. Really enjoy them but they’re often hard for me to get to. For some reason, they also put them on the opposite side of town from me! Poor planning on their part!

Definitely may pick up some decor items from the MoMA store.…[Read more]

So Bing is a little better. The first page is still filled with toys but I got a few diecast models on the second page. Speaking of, perhaps I should browse the diecast collections instead if searching figurines tends to give me toys.

Blarg. Amazon is such a pain to find stuff on. I want to get some spaceship figurines to help inspire me so I plug that in the search bar. It gives me nothing but cheap space shuttle and astronaut toys. No rockets or fictional starships (or even figurines), just children’s toys. 🙁

Still want to catch the other early Mad Max films. Not a fan of Mel Gibson’s later acting but his early stuff is pretty fun.

As I recall, Das Boot had limited subtitles and the original German version is considered superior to the English version. Really need to watch it.

Yep, definitely going to require some combing but we’ll get it filled up! We’ve also got some good tips in the Computer Setup thread from our various adventures through computer space-time that are worth transferring over. 🙂

So, sort of like a Hitchhiker’s Guide? Could be fun!

I think that’s honestly the future of the dispersal of information…[Read more]

Holiday time!

😀

Finished the expedition! It comes with a sweet ship, multi-tool and other goodies. 🙂

Hate to say it but I may start a new game yet again and do things properly so I’m not trying to complete everything at the same time. The sprawling mess of quest stuff is beginning to make my inventory a bit unwieldy and I think I can greatly improve things in a…[Read more]

Yeah, I’ll be on standby to fix the drivers. I usually wait until it’s automatically installed just in case. 🙂

Yep, the big vendors are pretty good about sharing with Microsoft so things go more smoothly 🙂

Good catch! Also, there are known issues with Ubisoft games so definitely something to keep in mind

So I’ve found that paprika actually goes well in coffee. Pretty tasty! 🙂

Looks like Windows 11 24H2 is being pushed out. The changes don’t look too significant. The biggest change is support for AI compute cores. Another notable one is support for WiFi 7. Other than that, it looks like it’s mostly minor tweaks to the UI in addition to other bug fixes under the hood.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Boeing is still recovering from that fiasco. They’re now talking about splitting the company up to try and recover much needed funds. And let’s not forget all of the worker strikes!

I think it involves the destruction of Tokyo but, honestly, I didn’t look closely at the box. I figured that, either way, it would be awesome enough…[Read more]

Oh, NMS is currently running this year’s expeditions again, with a new one every two weeks, for the next ten weeks or so

Yeah, Wikipedia’s plot summaries are an interesting thing. Sometimes, they’re little more than a short blurb, other times a blow-by-blow account, and then you have the cases where they’re well done. This one looks like the latter. 🙂 Interestingly, while we discussed the book in school, we never actually read it. It’s definitely on the list,…[Read more]

Excellent idea. Folks definitely need to be more aware of this stuff. Only was able to view the first few images without a Facebook account but definitely a good idea. It’s been a while since The Jungle came out and it should definitely be remembered today. 🙂

Alright, picked up BeamNG.drive as it was on sale. The physics are good. Really good. And the UI is a lot more intuitive than in Rigs. As expected from being the same team, there are a lot of things that are similar. The controls are also pretty fluid. Not yet sure how well the AI controlled cars work out but we’ll get there 🙂

Finally got around to watching Mad Max. First thing I noticed was that Anarchie Road was freshly paved. The ending was inconclusive: did the last bad guy take the bait and saw of his own leg to escape of not? Not sure it really lived up to its cult status. It was almost there but was missing just enough not to reach it, in my opinion. Granted, it…[Read more]

I like how the popular culture section lives on in See Also but without the descriptions. The section doesn’t really detract too much from the articles as one can easily skip it and, often, the references are pretty interesting. I think they’re doing too much to make things more concise and, as a result, making it a bit less useful. To be fair,…[Read more]

Sadly, we don’t have any native plant nurseries near me so I’m probably just going to go to a nursery and pick something out.

Got plenty of that in fields around here. It’s pretty prolific! Have to be careful, though. The bugs love it!

I may have seen it somewhere recently. Not sure where but I’ll keep an eye out. I know we’ve got plenty of…[Read more]
