    I’m going to try and add a drop-down link list to the navbar for some of the forum pages, like members and groups, for engagement in a couple of days. I think it may be doable

    in reply to: Styles #2913

    Certainly! Can definitely take a break to get some content up over there. 🙂

    Still have an item or two on the list that I just remembered so I’ll see about getting those together soon, too. I also forgot to uncomment the padding changed to the comment box in the post view. Will fix that!

    Yuck. Sounds reminiscent of the Crowd Strike bug that broke the world recently. 🙁

    in reply to: Cooking #2904

    Okay, here’s a more public article: https://www.foodandwine.com/kitchenaid-evergreen-stand-mixer-fall-launch-8714173

    Sorry about that!

    Sorry, most of the critical articles from bakers are paywalled. I’ll try to find a better one. The gadget sites rave about its looks but the people who actually use it are wholly against it.

    in reply to: Random #2902

    The plot thickens! I just did a bit of a dive and they just removed the link from the site, the pages still exist. The quickly thrown together Wikipedia article from information gleaned from the paywalled article says it was due to permitting and construction worker shortages but, again, I haven’t been able to find any other articles and no official statements. Based on this, I think it’s fair to say that they may be keeping the door open and would still like to get something off the ground. Would really help if I could read the news article in full or even get another source of information, though

    Not too surprising as they made very little progress on it but I was really looking forward to it.

    Blech. Another paywall. I’ll try to find some public articles when I have time. Sorry!

    Interesting, that’s the only article I can find on it at all. Weird.

    Registration page is sort of synchronized with the rest of the styles. The footer was intermingling with the form so I added this:

    /*Prevent footer from intermingling with other elements*/
    footer {
    	clear: both;
    }

    That tells it to load on a new line in the viewport.

    I also added a two pixel border around the form elements. For the main forum, the forum index doubles up on the border because of an oversight in the bbPress selectors. Essentially, they have two different selectors for the index in the block that sets the borders, which gives it a stronger look. Nothing I can do do about that, it needs to be fixed directly in the bbPress plugin I believe.

    What’s next?

    I understand the point they’re making but the seed vault is still better than doing nothing at all. If we don’t have it, we’re definitely more likely to have issues than without it. That said, one option is to move it to a more favorable location. How? Easy! We have a little known place quite nearby that doesn’t suffer from anything other than cosmic radiation called the Moon. If we dig down and shield things, that may be a good option. Of course, it would need regular support runs to keep the systems topped off and maintained but, with the planned moon base, that may be doable. Granted, it’s more of a long term idea and a lot of infrastructure would need to be constructed but it may be a solid option.

    Also: Zoidberg plush!

    So, yeah, this thing was announced: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2024/09/kitchenaid-evergreen-mixer-status-symbol/679896/

    Highly impractical and expensive. For the same price, you may as well get an Ank and have a much better mixer.

    Apologies for the paywall!

    Always been a big fan of Columbo over here. It has been a while since I’ve seen it so I may go ahead and watch it again. Looks like Tubi has it!

    Saw this B-movie. Wasn’t intended to be a comedy but the acting was so bad that it wound up being hilarious. Those are some of the best ones!

    Pretty sure I mentioned The Woods several years but when and where I saw it eludes me so it may have been around 2018 or so. Gave it another watch the other day as I recalled it fondly and it definitely didn’t disappoint.

    And finally got around to watching The Changeling. In short, it was a masterpiece. Highly recommended if you like ghost stories

    in reply to: Random #2889

    Interesting, but completely useless, tidbit of information: Melbourne, Australia and Fairbanks, Alaska are currently experiencing the exact same weather with roughly the same temperature and precipitation. Why, yes, I did get a little bit bored. 😛

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #2887

    Whoops, sorry. Forgot to ask yesterday before applying it. Will try to remember that for next time. 🙂

    Yeah, hopefully they include some fixes for the editor. It can be pretty wonky in addition to that block being somewhat broken

    There is a plugin that supposedly enhances it, Elementor, but I haven’t looked at it very closely yet. Just glanced at it a couple of times

    in reply to: The TCG Thread #2884

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the Scarlet & Violet – Stellar Crown set for Pokemon just hit general availability yesterday.

    In related news, the 2024 Yu-Gi-Oh tins hit general availability on 2024-09-20 while OTS stores will have them 2024-09-18

    And Magic the Gathering has a new set coming out soon as well:

    Duskmourn: House of Horror hits general availability on 2024-09-27 with a preview on 2024-09-20

    General availability is when the products are available at all stores. These are mostly your big box stores like Walmart and Amazon. For some TCGs, like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, small, licensed stores are usually allowed to sell the product a day or two early.

    Still trying to come up with a good way of making the links in the main post more generic. Unfortunately, most pages are region locked. For example, I can provide the rule book links for, say, Japan or the US but not a global link that will automatically redirect to your region. The redirect occurs at the root URL, not the subpages, which sort of complicates things for localization.

    in reply to: Samsung Tablets #2882

    Yay! Looks like they finally fixed the battery drain issue that’s been plaguing me since February.

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #2881

    Saw the 1995 version of Village of the Damned the other day and it wasn’t much fun, even for a bad film. Everything was very formulaic and predictable while the acting was stuff as though they were just going through the motions. To be fair, there were a lot of children in the cast who may not have had much acting experience but the crew could have provided better motivation to make the acting more fluid.

    On DeVaultSetter said

    Looking at the layout through the tablet, everything amazingly fits. The extract text in the Walrus categories is a little hard to see, that’s all. 🙂

    /*Fix color contrast issues with search results, may break some editing of colors*/
    .has-contrast-2-color p {
    	color: #f8f8de;
    }

    Fixed 🙂

    And from the changelog: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/61704

    Took long enough! Already fixed it on our end months ago 😛

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #2875

    Ooh, nice. May need to give it a whirl. Should probably shoot System76 a message to make sure they don’t have any system scripts written in Bash that will break if I try a new shell 🙂

    Apparently, Elite: Dangerous takes place in a 1:1 scale version of the galaxy. Haven’t tried it yet, either. Haven’t tried Universe Sandbox yet but it has been on the list for quite some time. Could be fun to play marbles with planets 😛

    The latest response makes some sense. Sounds like it’s a side effect of how and when the data is stored and loaded with hibernation. Didn’t know Notepad++ had a dark mode. Went ahead and flipped it on even if it is a bit too dark for my tastes 🙂

    Cool! Looks like they’re a shell enthusiast. They’ve got a lot of information on various shells. Going to need to spend some time browsing!

    Looks like the Awesome Windows list on GitHub was removed at some point for whatever reason (the main one linked earlier still links to it so the link goes 404). Luckily, I found an older copy: https://github.com/Awesome-Library/Awesome-Windows

    Definitely not the same though 🙁

    The Cheap Detective is always fun. Just watched it again yesterday 🙂

    in reply to: Comings, Goings, Doings #2873

    She’s doing great. Already on the cane and back to driving. 🙂 It’s still taking too much energy to go around for long stretches but is definitely improving. She’s trying to get on the stationary bike a few times a day, which seems to be helping as well. She’s hoping to get cleared for swimming after her follow-up appointment next week 🙂

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #2870

    Saw Happy Birthday To Me and it can probably be skipped. Well made in terms of crew but in terms of quality of plot and all? Nope. Little coherent plot and the flashback sequences just happen out of the blue, confusing things further. It also brought nothing new to the table.
