Ooh, I like that. I may do some decorating next year, at least inside. Could be fun! 🙂

More election humor!

Will see if I can check it out 🙂

Been watching Classic Doctor Who and Xena: Warrior Princess lately. The latter is a really weird show with a ton of anachronisms. Of course, it’s right up my alley as it winds up being hilarious 😛

So powertop is what is used in Linux land but its report options are limited. Looking into it 🙂

There are some cool places on the US list, such as the Greenbrier 🙂

Most of our transportation and utility companies are set up as wholly owned or at least partially owned subsidies with the government being the primary party. There have also been a few occasions where we nationalized an organization not owned by the government, such as during the 2008 financial crisis when we took over GM and a few banks. Those holdings were finally divested a few years ago. We’ve been bringing that practice back in the last few years, such as the government taking a stake in Intel to help keep it from going under.

Yeah, the Wikipedia lists are often inconsistent and missing data that they have on other pages. Wikipedia has definitely gotten better but some stuff is still falling through the cracks. I’ve seen similar issues with the pages on dog breeds.

Even if we never believed in extraterrestrials, we’d still be exploring the stars. In which case, I think the reaction when we did come into contact with them would be much worse as we would have never considered the fact that we could be sharing a universe with another living entity

Now we’re getting into the Fermi Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox

There are several reasons that may be true but I still feel that there was some sort of contact thousands of years ago due to various things the ancients believed. Granted, it was probably fleeting or we’d have more solid evidence but there are too many stories in the ancient scriptures to discount the idea entirely

Homemade miso paste doesn’t look too difficult to make. Maybe it’ll be worth a try sometime?

The homemade sauerkraut was good when I made it s few years ago

I personally use Meld on the rare occasion I feel like using a graphical tool. Usually, I just use the terminal and, for more complex stuff, redirect the output to a file which I then load in my text-editor (also helps me share the changes more easily). Maybe it’ll work better?

Yeah, Logitech’s keyboards seem to have longevity issues. My dad’s old keyboards wound up with broken keycaps after just a few years. Not sure how he did that, honestly. 😛

Their mice seem to still be solid, though 🙂

Not familiar with that brand but the appearance is pretty sharp 🙂

I have a SteelSeries, which is quite nice. Heavy, too, so it doesn’t slide around much. 🙂

I wouldn’t worry about .NET 3.5 being installed: that’s required by several system packages. Microsoft has been slowly upgrading them to use the newer versions, though.

Yuck. I was hooking up a lamp the other day and found that one of the two sockets in an outlet was bad so I’ll need to get that fixed at some point. Annoying when that happens. Fortunately, it was just a lamp and nothing important but it does mean I’m down a plug! 😛

So is anyone doing anything with blockchain anymore outside of crypto-currency? There was a lot of activity surrounding the concept several years ago and then, after a couple of years, poof. Nothing.

Have no real experience with it myself but it looks like they were last online around 2024. It came out around the time that I had mostly lost interest in playing the games and I never was much of one to use community modifications. From what I understand, though, the big thing with it was shaders (at least initially). I never had stability issues with the game myself.

phpBB does have a few anti-spam plugins. There are a couple for Akismet and Stop Forum Spam, along with some others, that he could have used instead of shutting everything down.

Glad most of it got backed up by the Internet Archive, though. 🙂

The shift towards Discord and videos for a lot of things is really making things a pain in the ass. You can’t print out a video, for instance, or even use one for quick reference. In Discord’s case, you have to hunt for the information in addition to it being private and just not presented well. I’ve been trying to convince the xEdit devs to post more documentation in a better format but I keep getting ignored when I bring it up (which means they’re not interested for whatever reason). The loss of information is getting annoying 🙁

Here’s an interesting list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_companies

Lots of Japanese companies and breweries on there

It sounds like there could have been an outage during a critical Windows process. Windows is much less forgiving about those situations than *nix. It’s possible you may need to reinstall the OS

If I remember correctly, CSM is mostly for older technologies such as IDE that pre-date SATA drives (as well as older add-in cards). Granted, it’s been a while since I really looked at those settings.

More infrastructure should be designed as art forms. Civilization would look so much better if it weren’t covered in bland industrial displays. Just as an example, the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty could have cellular aerials on top. Streetlights could have a whimsical appearance, like sunflowers. Just make things look better!

I miss easily getting articles of whimsy like that. Fewer and fewer sites are posting that sort of thing these days and it makes me sad (not to mention the discovery problem) 🙁

[Spastic Hamburger]

Oculus was pretty good. Of course, I generally like anything with Sackhoff 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

I actually don’t have a cat 😛

Those articles are some that came in a long time ago which I felt like checking up on again 🙂

We do have quite a few outdoor cats in the area. They mostly stick close to home as that’s where the food is and don’t tend to wander off outside of the neighborhood.

What amazes me is that people actually need instructions to unwrap their candy bars 😛

And came across this tidbit the other day: https://hackaday.com/2016/08/03/electrostatic-loudspeakers-high-end-hifi-you-can-build-yourself/

Looks like it could be a fun project but I’m not sure about using dish soap for the conductive layer. That just seems like it’d be a temporary solution (no pun intended) at best. Something like this may be a better option

The original Candyman was excellent. Next up is the Mothman Prophecies. May go back to classic horror films soon. Those were always fun and I’ve been in the mood for Vincent Price

[Spastic Hamburger]

You could try reseating it. That sometimes helps

[Spastic Hamburger]

And Dark. Dark was good! Bad dubbing but the rest of it was amazing! Still mad over Dark Matter. I’ll always be mad that it got cancelled before they wrapped things up. 😛

Tubi has a good selection of older horror films (and even some newer stuff from the 80’s). 🙂

House was fun (very much a B-movie) but it was rather jarring since it was hard to tell when the flashbacks were in effect. Felt like watching Platoon at times as a result 😛

Will add them to the list! Horror films now! 😀

[Spastic Hamburger]

It is now October. What does that mean? Time to start watching horror films again!
