Spastic Hamburger

We also have quite a few wild onions in the swamps around here. I need to get better at identifying them so that I can harvest them. They taste a lot better than store bought onions!

There’s a setting in the style pack for threaded replies but we’re not using that feature. Should we turn it on to see if it helps any regardless? Sometimes there’s some code sharing so fixing one bug will inadvertently fix another

Yep, probably a good time to eat it. Don’t want it to get sadder! 🙂

Yuck. Will check on that. I think I did check in there and all I saw was battery saver but I’ll check again. It does sound like, from the thread, it’s a software bug. Seems Samsung has patched it on the newer devices but I haven’t gotten an update yet. Hopefully they’ll push one out!

Above 90%, more heat is generated so that may be the rationale…[Read more]

Sounds good 🙂

If you do go with Linux, I recommend trying XFCE for your desktop environment. KDE and GNOME are the big ones but I’ve never had KDE run well even on a good system (always seems sluggish for whatever reason) and GNOME be a bit heavier as well. You could go piecemeal but that takes a lot more work to get everyone to share the…[Read more]

Saw Demon of Paradise yesterday. It was a rip-off of The Creature from the Black Lagoon but was still pretty fun. It did have some hilarious moments, such as when the creature, in the water, jumps up and pulls down a helicopter. That shouldn’t even be possible unless it’s a few thousand pounds or is anchored to the bottom of the seabed!

Sounds good 🙂

If you do choose to upgrade the cooling, I recommend that you look at Noctua’s low profile coolers and fans if you don’t want to go with an AIO cooler (I still haven’t made the jump for whatever reason and still use air cooling). Make sure you measure before ordering to make sure it’ll fit! Noctua’s products are top notch. To give…[Read more]

I’m a bit nervous to do that as they contain a neurotoxin and require special processing. Don’t really feel comfortable with that risk involved.

We have century plants all over around here. They’re very popular with business for roadside decoration. We have some whose central stalks have gotten so tall they reach the utility poles!

Yeah, Spanish…[Read more]

Nope, sadly. I really wish there was one to fix the battery drain issues. I used to be able to go a week without having to charge the tablet before the update, now it’s every couple of days 🙁

Maybe, not sure of the current state of extension support on Android. Will need to check

The old phone is a Motorola Nexus 6. Still use it some for…[Read more]

This place looks interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Mart

We’re getting an Area 15 in Florida in the next few years. Sounds like it could be fun to explore the venue. 🙂

Nope, no update here! Works okay for the most part, just pretty slow on ad heavy sites and sites with a lot of images. Running everything in a private browsing session does tend to help somewhat, though. Battery life, needless to say, is garbage at this point 😛

Will check the settings menu!

I’ve got a pretty basic A7 Lite. It came without a lot…[Read more]

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]
