Yep, looks good. I can get that one in the morning if you don’t beat me to it 🙂

Sorry, mind’s been wandering lately. Did get most of the conversion done in the CSS file to variables the other day and then got distracted by paperwork…

I’ve mostly run the gamut of older horror films now after a couple of years so I figure it’s time for a bit of a change 😛

Could rewatch the old Universal Monsters films but I’ve seen those so many times that I want something a bit different 😛

I’m way overdo for a rewatch of Rain Man. Probably need to fix that! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yep, on the blog stuff. Mostly just trying to add backgrounds that look better on the article pages themselves but I can’t get the editor to play nice. Never been good with WYSIWYG editing, I’m much better with code.

Yeah, the last time I looked at them it looked a bit hairy to set up and maintain so I dug a hole. Could get the shovel and take another look, though.

Scored a Sentinel ship today! It’s incredible! Great stats and the technology is much cheaper to charge. Not only can you charge it via traditional materials, you can also charge it from materials you gain from killing Sentinels. The latter charge things up even more than the traditional materials. Wheeee!

So Guitar Center used to be named The Organ Center. That name only lasted a few years. Not overly surprising 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

No worries!

Yep. I’ve actually seen some old surge protectors that have had burn marks on them, likely from such an event. I have no idea how mine are designed. Surge protectors are one of those devices that are important but hard to get much information on a specific model so I generally just stick to buying well-known brands like Belkin.

Yeah, it looks like Zero Surge only ships to Canada and the US. You could try reaching out to the folks at Brick Wall (recommended by Stereophile and based in Florida!), which are just rebranded Zero Surge units from the sounds of it.

If you want a traditional one, these are ones I got last year. Haven’t tried them with the antenna, though. In fact, I haven’t tried them with the coaxial jacks at all 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I still need to watch that one. It’s definitely on the list!

Watched Army of Darkness so that finishes the set. Had some time afterwards so I also rewatched Meatballs. Needed that. Completely plotless but still a fun watch 🙂

Dyson spheres could be an interesting addition to the game. I’m sure there’s a mod for it but I haven’t gotten into modding the game yet. Maybe someday I’ll look into playing with mods 🙂

So there’s a way to adjust the content width for the blocks so the content matches the surrounding stuff but not the width of the block itself. Meaning, using the background editor for the block in the editor makes the color span the page. Getting a bit frustrating with the bugs, limitations, and markup access so I may take a break from trying to pretty things up to refactor the CSS

Been taking screenshots of my space journey. Will share them soon!

I also learned a few minutes ago that using the freighter to warp doesn’t let encounters take effect. I like those bits so I’ll switch over to the starship even though its warp drive isn’t as efficient. Getting close to being able to upgrade my ship as I’ve continued to ferry goods around as I try to reach the long goal.

I could just reset the map to a closer system but that feels like cheating! The goal is so far away that it doesn’t even show up on the galaxy map 😛

I also found a gorgeous paradise planet that I want to toss a base on at some point. 🙂

Yay! Going to need to keep on them! Have some very fond memories of the series 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

I watched a dubbed version, which they did a good job on 🙂

Yep! Seen them! They’re a riot!

Weaver in something that’s not science fiction? That’s unusual 😛

Watched The Evil Dead II yesterday and that was fun. Weird film but fun. Loved the part where Ash cuts off his hand and then pins it with copy of A Farewell to Arms 😀

An argument clinic isn’t all that bad of an idea. It would allow people to blow off steam in a setting in which its warranted and allowed. Getting people to use though is another matter entirely 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Storm missed me! Very little rain and no wind. Still glad I unplugged everything, though. 🙂

Sadly, I hear Tampa is a mess. 🙁

As always, give me a bit to get back up to speed. Disruptions always mess with my head

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I’ve been getting inconsistent weather reports over here. Some of the reports say a deluge both today and tomorrow with winds of 30+ tomorrow while another says 2.5 inches of rain today, no rain tomorrow, and sustained winds of 22 with 40 gusts tomorrow morning only. I’ll unplug everything in a few hours just to be on the safe side, plugging it all back in when it’s safe to do so tomorrow afternoon or the following morning.

Got the e-reader all set up, the Switch maintained, and several books downloaded so I shouldn’t be too bored just sitting here. 🙂

Really wish I had some Edgar Allan Poe in my physical library as that would be fun to read during the storms but it’s too late now. Will fix that for the next one!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Could be! It’d be hilarious if the models start acting like HAL 9000 if they get trained on Arthur C Clark 😛

Yep, the sequels are definitely on the list! Also added a bunch of old sci-fi and horror films from the 50s and earlier. I can also get the colorized version of Night of the Living Dead but I prefer to watch these types of films in their original formats, either BW or color.

Never been a big fan of zombie films myself. I think the main issue is that there’s not much imagination to them.

Saw Opera yesterday and it was a very good psychological thriller. Highly recommended.

Whelp. At least it works! Of course, you could read a book or two during that time. Just don’t read while sitting at the computer! 😀

On a related note, I think I may write up a piece on preparing for a hurricane sometime. Sure, they’re a dime a dozen but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do our own take on it, especially for any future members of ours

[Spastic Hamburger]

Haven’t seen anything in the release notes for either BuddyPress or bbPress but I can check the development logs. It’s rather odd that the devs don’t seem overly concerned with the issue. But, yeah, it’d be really nice to get it back up and running again

I may also dig through some third party sites like wpbeginner and see if that helps fill in some gaps as well. Though, they also use a lot of videos. Don’t know why folks are obsessed over videos these days 😛

Edit: Doesn’t look like much more is happening on the bbPress front but I’ll keep looking

Yep. I’ll keep a close eye on things. It could very well change for the worse before Wednesday night.

Yap. St Petersburg has already started going into full lockdown with shutting down sewage lines to try to keep things from becoming too messy. Really hope they make it out okay down there
