Oh, one thing we’re missing in our plans is the use of renewable energy. The types will definitely be dependent on location but, generally, covering roofs and shaded sidewalks with solar panels (when we don’t have trees to absorb heat and provide natural shade) would be a good idea.

Geothermal is definitely a good overall option but would be more beneficial near active magma reservoirs.

Yeah, my mom complains about the image quality all the time! 😛

Yeah, we had similar migration issues with IPS 4 back at DC but, with a much smaller site, it was much easier to work through the issues. Not everything converted nicely but uploads being down is a big problem!

Got my subscription to Nature! First issue should arrive in the next couple of weeks and then I’ll be getting an issue a week!

[Spastic Hamburger]

😀

Sounds good. Robin had been hard at work over the last few weeks patching outstanding bbPress bugs in the style pack so hopefully we’ll be seeing some compatibility fixes soon. Once we get things fixed up, we can get back to work on site stuff! 🙂

Edit: Profile styles just broke again. Weird. On the list! Need to fix pagination first 🙂

It’s always nice to get ahead in life. It’d be hard to see otherwise!

[Spastic Hamburger]

That’s progress, at least

How do we want to proceed from here? Pester the devs some more? If we make enough noise, it’s sure to raise the dead! Mummies fix most problems!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Doesn’t seem to have affected things. Things are still wonky 🙁

Any luck with the errors?

They’re also working on burrowing robots to explore the moons. If they make them bigger or modular (as we know, I like modular space technology and wish it’d be used more), they could also be used to carve out dwelling space. Of course, the travel would need to be figured out but the dwelling area would at least be already prepared, providing a bit of a leg up. 🙂

Yep! Very cool! Came across it myself. The mouse needs a name! Any ideas?

Looks like my library card expired. Tried logging out and logging back in to the service, which is when it told me it expired. It would be nice to know these things before they happen! Been trying to figure out why I haven’t been able to get books for a month. 🙁 I’ll get it taken care of next week 🙂

You’re not missing much! One feature of CEC is that it’s supposed to sync up the video modes to help them play nice. I have my TV set to a specific mode for eye comfort and at 4k but the Roku, which I had manually set to 4k as I didn’t like the look of how my TV presents 4k HDR, keeps wanting to flip back to Automatic which sets it to 1080p Dolby Vision when CEC is on. Definitely a Roku software bug but CEC doesn’t work all that well. And you still need all of the remotes since they still don’t come up with the ability to control the other devices in full even though they include the buttons. 😛

Rewatched Star Wars: A New Hope to test out the speakers and the more I watch it, the more the nonsensical things in it bother me. All of the plot holes, the British accents nowhere near Earth, the use of distance for time….The list goes on! 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

I love the bulk aisles! They even sell spices in bulk, which is nice. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with grinding my grains to make flour and it tastes quite different from the store bought flour but in a good way! 🙂

Cool! Probably a bit involved for my decorating skills but amazing! I’ve seen cakes made up like steaks, sandwiches, and more! Always enjoy watching them come together!

We have a local grocery store that sells everything, including tubs of lard that can’t be found in regular grocery stores. I can also get produce there that I can’t get anywhere else, such as bitter melon. Only store in town that sells rhubarb 😀

Big fan of bran muffins here. I usually make them with flaxseed meal instead of eggs and they’re delicious! Unless you mean raised muffins. Very much like them but every time I make them I wind up scorching them 😛

Mixer’s on the fritz, sadly. I have a KitchenAid and the new ones use nylon gears and such and I think they’re starting to wear down. Having some issues where they won’t catch properly 🙁

[Spastic Hamburger]

Well, finally got the external speakers hooked up to the TV (better late than never!) so no more garbled dialogue! 😛

Took my dog a bit to get used to it. Going to need to give things a bit of a whirl! Still need to tweak the sound settings to my personal preferences but that’ll come 🙂

May turn off HDMI-CEC though as it’s just as finicky as ever. Good idea but it tends to get confused about devices as it tries to turn them all on and then it cycles through them all as it’s not sure which one to use even though I only pressed the button for one. Had the same issue twenty years ago 😛 May just do everything manually again 🙂

Started trying out the cake recipes and they’re turning out amazing! For the holidays, I made a chocolate layer cake with chocolate raspberry frosting and it was delicious!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Think it might be a reference to this gem 😛 Caught it on the MST3K marathon some years ago 😀

Yep, it’s the best song Futurama has ever done. It’s wonderful!

Lovely! Seriously need to watch that show!

[Spastic Hamburger]

A Zoidberg a day keeps the doctor away! 😀 Of course, he’s not a very good doctor 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

Ugh, what caused that? Was fine the other day!

Tried purging the cache through LightSpeed but it didn’t seem to correct it. Also checked the settings in the control panel and all of the visibility settings seem okay. No idea what changed /shrug

[Spastic Hamburger]

So like Mouse Trap? Could be fun! Of course, the game never worked like it was supposed to but it didn’t use modern technology 😛

Could you describe how the cupboard would unfold? I’m having a hard time visualizing it

I was thinking of steering being controlled by shifting of weight but that wouldn’t be as controlled as changing the flow so that works much better!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yep! I really enjoy the awfulness of them 😛 About ten years ago, I watched The Star Wars Holiday Special. It was quite memorable, especially when the Wookiees were given the equivalent of porn 😛

Yeah, I really need to watch Portlandia one of these days!

Eventually, I’ll get back to anime and other stuff. Don’t know when but I will!

[Spastic Hamburger]

It used to be back in the GBA era (you used to be able to type in the ID from the card to import it) but they got rid of that feature for both Yugioh and Pokemon when they transitioned to online play. I guess they figured that it would give folks too much of a leg up

Yeah, none of those are even remotely similar 😛 Granted, Epic Battle Fantasy was fun back in the Flash game era. Tabletop Simulator has a lot of classics! And you can download more!

So links!

For Pokemon, we’ve got TCG Live, as mentioned. Haven’t tried it myself, though

For Yugioh, we have both Duel Links and Master Duel. In both cases, they differ from the physical card game due to having slightly different card selections and ban lists (it’d make more sense to keep things consistent but they didn’t ask me 😛 ). In the case of Duel Links, it’s a condensed version of the game to help introduce people to the game

[Spastic Hamburger]

Now that things have started to arrive, it definitely looks like it could use some work. But that’s okay! I had planned to modernize the snot out of it anyways 😛 It also gives me a starting point as I have a hard time following the effects by reading them on a screen, I do better when I’m looking at a physical card. Once they’ve finished arriving, I’ll have a better idea of what I need to do to fix it up. 🙂
