    Thanks to the llamas, everything should be back to normal. Please give a holler if anything else is out of whack, save for the ongoing theme work. Well, you could holler about that but it is ongoing so it’s a good way to get a sore throat. Also, you may want to holler if you find yourself suddenly without a parachute while falling over the Pacific Ocean. Probably a good idea.

    If it was twenty-feet, it’d be a moon-ful of lasagna! 😀

    The ad does read as though they may be having issues getting the licensing agreement worked out, which is interesting. They don’t usually advertise products like that unless they know the paperwork is all figured out.

    Cool! Never played Doom myself. Though, I did used to play a lot of Quake and Unreal Tournament at LAN parties. That was a lot of fun. Really miss yelling across the room at the guy when I got shot. 😛 See what we lose by going remote only!

    Been reading John Scalzi’s books and they’re a lot of fun. Essentially, they’re science fiction with a humorous twist and a lot of pop culture references. The Collapsing Empire, for instance, had a starship that was named “Our Princess is in another Castle” for example. He also has a book that satirizes the redshirts from Star Trek. Got that one on the waiting list!

    Gorky Park is a classic! Still haven’t read the book, though. 🙁 I really need to change that

    Watched High Spirits again yesterday and it’s always a lot fun. Really don’t understand the 31% RT rating. It’s a good romp with a lot of actors just entering their careers with a few well-known names.

    That is nice!

    My dad uses colorful, spotted toadstools for his incense. He usually picks them up at the art festivals so I may try looking there when we get one 🙂

    Yeah, it’s really quite cool to see things as he intended them to look. I do remember that some of the descriptions were kind of vague. 🙂 I wonder if there are illustrations of Mordor in there? Always had an issue visualizing that locale in particular!

    I try to! Lately, though, I’ve been having to focus on the studies that are of particular interest since it takes me so long to read an entire issue and I’m already months behind 😛

    I’ve developed bad erosion around the driveway so I’m looking at putting in some ground cover to shore things up. Something from this list is probably the way to go. In particular, Mimosa strigillosa looks like a good option. 🙂

    I bring you snowmen! 😀

    And let’s not forget table guy!

    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 🙂

    Going to use them for spices! 😀

    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! 😛

    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 🙂

    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! 😀

    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!

    in reply to: The TCG Thread #2588

    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!

    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

    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!) 😛

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

    in reply to: The TCG Thread #2571

    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. 😛

    in reply to: Random #2554

    I’ve always wondered why hardware manufacturers stylize components that you’re never going to see. Motherboards have color designs, video cards have similar, and some processors even have art etched on them. This was also before transparent cases became more common.

    And in other other news: wine, anyone?

    Does a new post exhibit the same behavior with the recent bbPress updates?

    Recalled this gem the other day: https://www.armadillorun.com/

    Have fond memories of playing it years ago. I wonder how it’s held up over the decades?

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #2532

    May get myself a so-called desk mat for the odd cases where I run out of mouse pad room 😛

    Ten years is the estimate before it hits 80% capacity so, in theory, it should stay alive for a total of fifteen to twenty at reduced capacity. But time will tell! Definitely relic worthy!

    Let’s hope it works!

    In my experience, off-brand batteries don’t tend to last as long so hopefully the official battery works 🙂

    My favorite part is where he was supposedly drunk and on crack the whole time. He even got barred from entering the studio as the guard thought he was a random nutcase. Sounds about right 😛

    Really need to watch Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels at some point. Its Talk page is a pretty fun read, too! 🙂

    The Rift was pretty enjoyable, even if it was a pretty typical underwater adventure film. The acting helped it stand out even though the plot wasn’t anything to write home about. 🙂
