    No screw on top. Supposedly, there’s a locking peg in them but I haven’t managed to get the peg working. May have something to do with how the gaskets are aligned. Will need to take a good look at them πŸ™‚

    Going to use them for spices! πŸ˜€

    They are making some progress with inertial containment but I haven’t gotten there yet

    If it’s Homer, then there’s probably booze around! πŸ˜›

    Yeah, it’s a completely different design! Much more pleasing to the eyes in the lab! Haven’t read much on them yet but I’ll get there!

    Looks like TerraCycle has something but they don’t specify if it’s for natural, synthetic, or both. Probably need to reach out to them about that πŸ™‚

    What kind of holder do you use? Have had some trouble finding one I like locally. We do have a couple shops that may have them but they’re a little difficult to access without proper transportation so I may need to order them.

    That’s going to be a heck of a picnic! The ants will be most pleased! πŸ˜€

    Just came across this: https://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Illustrated-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0358653037?ref=dlx_deals_dg_dcl_0358653037_mw_sl14_72

    Absolutely stunning!

    For whatever reason, the sidebar used an aside HTML element which prevented me from changing the background so, sadly, I had to change the class for the group the sidebar was in. Would have been better if it used a div instead as an aside is a marker for text content, not structural. Probably something worth sending to them at some point.

    Anyways! Had some issues with the cache on Chrome where it wasn’t updating all the styles on my end so it took a few minutes to figure out that I simply had to do a CTRL + Shift + R to refresh it. I cleaned up the duplicate sidebar styles resulting from troubleshooting.

    I also added some padding to the sidebar to fix up the spacing and fixed the heading colors.

    The heading backgrounds are still weird but that’ll take some thinking about how to resolve, as mentioned earlier.

    Due to the font changes, holler if something is out of whack!

    Edit:

    Took a look at the content for blog posts (not the post excerpts on the index but the pages with the comments) and I’m going to need to group the heading div and the content div together to make them look good. Even though they should be considered a cohesive unit, they’re not grouped in a container so it’s tricky to get them styled properly as a group.

    Yuck!

    Does the ODU light just tell you if the decoder is functioning or if it also has a signal?

    If the former, it sounds like a damaged line somewhere since the neighbor is having the same issue.

    Whelp, Blackwings can’t use Crystal Wing effectively like I initially thought: the opening cards lock you in to Dark creatures while Crystal Wing is a Wind creature. Subbed it in anyways as I can still use it if I can’t get the appropriate combo off. Still, I’ll go back to trawling through the card database for a better option.

    Also, I clean forgot about the links. Will try to fix that!

    This explains it: hunt for ratings = runt for hatings!
    Yeah, stay in there, and, as someone should have said: may any coming distractions be worth the while!
    Sorry, been out of the loop a little as per RL on farm, and of late digging up personal info on the OAP rollover coming up in August. It’s very time consuming. πŸ™

    How are things progressing?

    in reply to: Litespeed #2586

    Weird! Glad to know that it’s not actually an issue! πŸ™‚

    Been meaning to ask this for quite some time but better late than never!

    I have some worn out socks that are a mixture of synthetic and natural material. Can these be recycled at all or do they just need to be thrown out? I know that, with a uniform material make, there are outfits that will break them down and reuse the resources but having a mixture may make it more trouble than it’s worth for the centers

    in reply to: Styles #2581

    Will do! πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Styles #2578

    Some of the template blocks, like the sidebar, use generic classes so the best way to fix them up would be to add a custom class to them. Any objections if I go ahead and do this? It will definitely make things easier and cleaner. I’ll use the same format I used with the spoiler class just in case official classes are used down the road to keep conflicts to a minimum.

    Took a bit but they got the changelog up!

    Yep, can see where it would be a good name for a Western. Recently got confused by Apple’s new series Dark Matter due to SyFy having an older space opera show by that name (which was great!) πŸ˜›

    Started watching Andy Sidaris’s films the other day and they’re a lot of fun if you like cheesy action flicks (I do!).

    I see cars getting some frost pretty often here when it hits 30Β°F or so. A few years back, we had a week of 20Β°F with highs in the 30s. The ice pretty much stayed around. πŸ˜›

    We need bigger boots! Or we could hunt them with an elephant gun. Saw a film yesterday where they blew off a snake’s head with a bazooka. Very much overkill (pun intended!) πŸ˜›

    Will mention the films soon in the proper thread!

    in reply to: Comings, Goings, Doings #2573

    Yuck! πŸ™

    Have a good trip! πŸ™‚ I’ll continue to work on odds and ends over here while fighting through various bugs. πŸ˜›

    Lorcana doesn’t seem to have an official card database but I’ll investigate the third-party ones so I can get some information added

    Additionally, I’m thinking it may be helpful to add some information on some of the more popular fan formats for some of the games listed in the opening post. Thoughts?

    Started reading up on tokamaks today (need to finish the article another day as it’s a lot to take in) and they’re pretty interesting. In essence, they’re giant magnets with an injection component so that different substances can be added for regulation, depending on what the operator wants to do. In addition, they use a layer of expensive heavy metals for the primary structure with an additional layer of sacrificial light metals to keep the plasma contained while keeping the heavy metals from leaching into the plasma and stopping the reaction. The magnetic flux is additionally controlled by the shape of the containment structure, adjusting the overall reaction sustainability.

    That’s what the issue was? When I was testing, I just assumed you were getting the issue with the malformed ol and ul tags. πŸ˜›

    in reply to: Styles #2564

    Yep!

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Next-sibling_combinator

    For some reason, I was thinking it was & but that’s okay!

    Looks like conditionals are still in their draft phase even though they’re widely used in WordPress and I’m not sure why I thought I would need them anyways, unless it was because I thought I might need to use them to fix up the heading for the article tag that constitutes the post heading. If there’s a reverse adjacent selector, we may be good. It may have also been to keeping the global post styles from being applied. Coding is more difficult without my medication! πŸ˜›

    I’ll take another look at it on the computer to see where I was going with it πŸ™‚

    Extreme Post Organizing could be a new Olympic sport! πŸ˜€

    Sounds good πŸ™‚

    If all else fails, I could always override images in CSS by setting the containing element’s background to an image but that would be like using a Death Star in an appendicitis. πŸ˜›

    Would also want an asteroid belt. Sort of like a pinball machine?

    Golf with your Friends looks pretty chill overall. Could be fun regardless of the level editor πŸ™‚

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #2556

    Categories can be used like tags in the forums. Each category has its own section on the sidebar and the posts are grouped in there. Say we have some posts that talk about software projects and some posts that talk about hardware musings. We could have a category for each and then those individual posts are more easily found if someone is looking for, say, release notes.

    We can also have subcategories. Extending the example above, we could have a Release category under Software to help keep everything together.

    Yep, we can certainly change the name of the default category. And done πŸ™‚

    Edit:

    For whatever reason, the site logo block is missing the settings to add media. Not sure why :/
