Almost stayed for yesterday’s tournament since it was starting earlier than usual but decided I wasn’t yet ready. One day! 🙂
Getting my mom set up with an Ecoflow Delta 2 Max. She lives in an area with a sensitive grid so she’d like to be able to get some power when they get clobbered by a hurricane. 🙂
“I’ll explode when I want to explode! Oh look, a space probe! Target practice!” 😀
It’s a standard Dish Network dish. It’s pretty banged up and looks like a tree had fallen on it so it may not be usable (the shape is all out of whack). Won’t know until I fix a wire to it and plug it into a radio, though. Will probably also want to give it a good scrubbing. It’s pretty dirty. For cooler weather!
Lorcana seems to be pretty popular. Perhaps it’s worth including it into the first post?
Thinking about buying a couple of Pokemon starter decks. Never did play the game, just liked the artwork. Would be a slight change but I’m kind of in the mood to try a game that’s a little less intense than Yu-Gi-Oh. Not that I plan to quit playing, just want a great of fresh air is all. 🙂
Trying to do some research on plasma confinement for some ideas bouncing around the dusty processor and Wikipedia’s article leaves a little to be desired: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_confinement
It just links to the different types instead of providing a general overview. The overview would be really helpful so I had a better handle on what I’m reading in the linked articles
The DoE does a slightly better job: https://www.energy.gov/science/doe-explainsplasma-confinement
Sorry! Looks like that image was removed for whatever reason. Here’s a new one!
Yeah, the A/C is set to turn on at 80F. The humidity is so bad, though, that it’s still very high outside even at 72F. It’s horrible!
Great! Yeah, I need to do that with my lamps. As I use them, the screws holding the shafts together and the one holding the shade down come loose so I periodically need to tighten them up. Had one time when the whole thing came apart on me, it was so loose 😛
Will definitely add it to the reading list! 🙂
Over here, we also have instances where prisoners are sometimes exploited to run scams using their phone time. Always disheartens me 🙁

Would look quite nice in the kitchen! 🙂
The jars came! They’re much bigger than expected!
I have the entire series of Flying Circus on DVD! 😀
Could also use it to mail a letter! 😛
The sleeves came in and they work like a charm! They’re a much better fit than the basic standard sized sleeves over a regular Japanese sized sleeve with much less movement. 🙂
Added a (very) short blurb on card grading
Grandmother’s House was pretty good. It relies mostly on story telling with little violence, language, or sex which made it a nice breath of fresh air. The star attraction? It features Uncle Leo! 😀
I’ve updated the first post with a list of official card databases for the big three TCGs 🙂
On April 21, 2024 at 8:29 pm Bob Marley saidSome notes on double sleeving: I’ve been using Japanese size sleeves from Dragon Shield enclosed by Dragon Shield standard size clear matte sleeves but the fit isn’t tight enough so the inner sleeve damages the outer sleeve when it jostles around. Sadly, my LGS doesn’t carry Japanese size outer sleeves so I’ll need to order those, more than likely. Really makes me sad as I do try to give them the business when possible and feel bad when I have to purchase from elsewhere 🙁
Decided to talk to the shop before ordering and they were more than happy to place an order. The lesson? Doesn’t hurt to ask! 🙂
Mansion of the Doomed wasn’t bad, if a tad repetitive. Eventually, they go into a montage of kidnapping and harvesting but I feel as though they overdid it a tad. Would have been much better if it focused more on the actual transplant research, like The Island of Dr Moreau, than the constant stream of victims.
Old, banged up satellite dish acquired. Let the hunt begin!
Really dislike Summer. The heat and humidity really make it difficult to sleep and do things during the day. Even at 0500, it’s still close to 80°F outside. 🙁
Rewatched Killer Klowns the other day. It pretty much speaks for itself. It’s a blast! 😀
In the future, I may skip the firmware upgrades if they’re going to be that much hassle 😛
You can most likely skip the monitor’s HDR settings. It’s different from the old style HDR, which I’ll call software HDR. The new HDR is monitor based and the programs that take advantage of it are few and far between. Older programs, say five years or older, use software HDR which modifies the lighting in the software instead of using the hardware lighting. Hopefully that makes sense 🙂
HW Monitor will be able to provide a lot of extra details. It’ll also let you monitor certain stats like voltage and temperatures in real-time. It may be useful for the other system that’s experiencing some power issues. May help tell you if it’s getting enough juice 🙂
Yep, she’s great! 😀
May have mentioned this before but I’ve always found that I focus better with symphonic metal playing in the background. Back in school, I’d toss my CDs in the computer to help during programming class. Always worked like a charm 🙂
Sorry, for some reason I thought you were trying to work with VGA – digital. Not sure how I got that out of there….
Yeah, used to happen with our cassette player and, less frequently, with the VCR. Had to take a knife and pry them open. Was never a good thing when that happened :/
Just found out that this is a thing. Not exactly a silver bullet for using a wireless mouse but could still be handy in general for the range of devices. What would really be helpful, though, is a desk with built-in wireless charging. Until they resolve the battery and latency issues, hopefully wired mice will still exist 🙂
Speaking of mousepads, I’m probably overdue for a replacement. My twenty year old mousepads are looking kind of rough these days 😛
Yep. We were unable to determine what was wrong with Linux so I had to reinstall it. Spent much of yesterday setting things back up (always been a bit slow with configuring software) so we should be able to rock and roll again in a few days 🙂
Is HDMI 2.1 not backwards compatible with 2.0? You should be able to use an older screen with it and work fine. That should be the maximum supported version. Likewise, you should be able to use it with screens that exceed the version but you wouldn’t get all of the features available.
