Things working any better?

[Spastic Hamburger]

It’s on the list! Going to wait for a sale, though. 🙂

I do quite enjoy the freedom of NMS and how it doesn’t have a story or anything. It does have rudimentary quests but they’re mostly designed to introduce you to the game elements. It’s not exactly an RPG, mostly a survival and space exploration game 🙂

Probably not. Now, Discworld would make a fun anime series. Surprised they haven’t done an adaption yet!

Strange! I wonder if some of the fumes have neutralized the odor?

Yay! He is missing many of the older ones from the pre-Geforce days. They may have been removed by the original author, though. I lost track of the site around 2013 :/

In particular, his article analyzing the visual effects various graphical settings had were quite beneficial!

Rooting does give you more access to the underlying Linux system and lets you do things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, such as interface with your computer. It’s mostly for tinkerers and not all devices are easily rootable. In order to continue to update the software, you’ll need to unlock the bootloader and then install a custom ROM which will wipe the system. I’m not sure if that requires rooting or not, though.

Yeah, e-waste is a big problem. Fortunately, there are recycling programs that exist (not too widespread, sadly). Generally, it’s recommended to contact the manufacturer to see what their recycling recommendations are. Often, you need to send them off somewhere which isn’t always practical.

It’s best to keep the old device online until you transfer all the credentials over. Newer devices do have a data transfer tool that will copy most things over but you’ll still need to set up some of the accounts afterwards 🙂

Air handler is fixed. The original installation people didn’t do it properly and left the cap on the emergency shutoff valve. /sigh

[Spastic Hamburger]

Could be useful! He also has a lot of other plugins that look beneficial, it may be worth considering some of them at some point 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yep, I highly recommend it if you’re up for something campy!

Haven’t seen it myself but I have been wanting to see it for a while. It is somewhat famous, though, for slapping a ton of makeup on Tim Curry!

Could be!

Haven’t had much chance to watch much lately with everything going on but I am enjoying Midsomer Murders. 🙂

Oh, yes, amazing music!

So I read the first book in the Wheel of Time series and it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. I found it way too similar to Lord of the Rings for my tastes. The plot was almost a carbon copy without all the fantasy creatures so it didn’t really feel all that original.

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sounds good 🙂

Yeah, the snippets will be wiped each time we update the theme but the plugin he linked may be a good option. We had some other customizations we were looking at, too, so it may be handy to install assuming it won’t be much of a security risk. Will take a look at it! 🙂

Sounds good! 🙂

Certainly! Feel free! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I’ve been through them before. They’re not fun! We once got stuck in a hurricane while camping once because the organizers didn’t check the weather report. Not exactly a fun experience… 😛

Yep, battery powered. It came from my grandfather’s and needed a new battery, which I got a week ago for it. Good timing! 🙂

Need to rest from the excitement for a couple of days but I’ll try to catch up on all of the posts in the meantime. Sorry about leaving some of them this long!

[Spastic Hamburger]

It shouldn’t. That should only affect how much is loaded from the database 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

I could try it on Linux, certainly! It’s really just VR that must be done on Windows due to how the driver layers work 🙂

Cracked used to be good but I haven’t checked in on them in at least ten years while The Onion is always a hoot! 🦉

Could be! 😀

I do want to get back to writing in there. Maybe the new features will help give me inspiration!

I’ve always liked NMS but, now, things are a lot livelier! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

This is what I have for the bedroom. It works pretty well 🙂

Yeah, mini-split systems are nice. My mom has one and it’s lovely! Though, they did screw up the installation so the condensate line crumbled and it took them a few weeks to get the parts to fix it 🙁

Yep! Got a Roomba!

Cool! Never heard of that brand before but their products are beautiful for vacuums!

Ugh. That’s annoying!

[Spastic Hamburger]

We’re okay! It veered NNW on Tuesday so we just got a bit of wind and nothing major 🙂

We did have three trees come down, one had a rotten base. The other two were healthy and the wind wasn’t strong enough to snap them off. Maybe we had a small tornado?

Yeah, the water temperatures have been insane this year! They’re predicting the next couple of years to be bad storm years 🙁

Got the neighborhood cleaned up! You can’t even tell a storm hit us now 😛

My two-way radio had a weather radio feature so I used that to keep track of the storm so I knew when it was safe 🙂

Yeah, I have a big candle. Not much but it should do 🙂

Yep, it sounds like it’ll be similar to the 2017 storm. We made out okay where I am but other areas of the city didn’t. I’ll be unplugging everything later on before I go to bed to be safe, so no Internet until the storm passes. I’d rather replace the coin cell batteries than the devices.

I’ve been meaning to get a small portable solar panel to help keep the phone and e-reader online during an extended outage but I haven’t gotten around to ordering it yet :/

I’ll be on call for emergencies and cleanup duty afterwards, I’m sure. Hopefully I won’t have too much to do.

Hopefully I can come back online later tomorrow but, if not, I’ll be back just as soon as I can.

Was testing load temperatures today while playing No Man’s Sky (they’re much lower than I expected in the 70 – 80 C range) to see if I should consider doing some cooking upgrades and, while mining. The rock grew legs and ran away! They’ve changed the game a lot since I last played 😛

[Spastic Hamburger]

I don’t think we’ll need DB access but we’ll find out when we get there! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

No, no backup power but our utility company is pretty good about not letting us have extended outages 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

I was at the store the other day and saw they had the Mad Film Special compilation so I went ahead and grabbed it. Have some of the content in my old issues (I remember some of the cartoons) but it should be fun!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Got another storm coming so don’t worry of I seem to disappear for a bit! 🙂
