    After several years, my mom finally decided on a Subaru Outback. She refuses to own a station wagon for whatever reason so, even though it’s classed as one, just don’t call it a station wagon or she gets mad. πŸ˜›

    That aside, she’s quickly falling in love with it πŸ™‚

    And No Man’s Sky got cross-save support last week, which is nice. πŸ™‚

    New cookbook! Going to need to break out the recipes! πŸ™‚

    in reply to: The TCG Thread #3160

    So the new deck I built that relies on more passive gameplay is okay. A bit early to tell how it’ll hold up in serious play as I just finished it on Friday but it did hold up well in yesterday’s tournament before everyone figured out what I was doing and got ganged up on. So I came in fourth place out of five players πŸ˜›

    It did well before, though. Didn’t outright win the games but came pretty close and was able to keep the pressure on so I’ll keep playing it a bit before I tweak it. Will get the decklist posted soon! πŸ™‚

    Will do. Had to take a bit of a break to get some other stuff done but I’ll try to get some more writing done soon. πŸ™‚

    Been occupied with deck building and the driving sim, mostly. With a little bit of moodiness mixed in for good measure (as we know, I tend to be moody pretty often πŸ˜› ). Ah, sounds like the ingredients of a stew! Though, not an appetizing stew. Don’t like eating paper at all! πŸ˜›

    Looks like it’s still mostly bots, sadly. Was hoping that we’d start to get some real humans once the content started coming but it looks like it may take longer.

    The solution? More content! Probably πŸ˜›

    What I do is long press and then drag the two cursors around the text I want to copy. Doing select all usually selects everything, including stuff outside the articles. Do you get the cursors to drag around?

    Tried instructors but things didn’t go all that well. Pretty much exhausted the resources available here so I’m wanting to take another stab at things but in a simulator. Having to do it myself because the local places with the sims won’t let me use their facilities even though I’m supposed to meet the requirements. Anyways! Onwards! Figure that if it doesn’t go well, I’ll at least have fun crashing into things πŸ˜›

    Only issue is that the wheels are a tad expensive. Will probably try keyboard first so I don’t need to order a bunch of equipment I won’t be able to use if it doesn’t work out.

    Yeah, sorry it took so long to share! Uploaded it last week and then got sidetracked again. πŸ˜›

    in reply to: The Thread That Broods #3151

    As you may have gathered from some of my posts lately, I’m working on figuring out the next stage of my journey through the Sea of Life. A car sim is the last thing I haven’t tried when it comes to learning how to drive, for instance. πŸ™‚

    And, as promised, here’s the video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kYfhrw75ybonp6nv7

    Not sure how many do but it’s possible using digital circuitry elements. Would be careful, though. I do know my old phone heats up a lot when using the charger it came with and it does support fast charging. Granted, it’s ancient at this point so that may have something to do with it. πŸ™‚

    Weird. Have no issues over here. Which browser are you using? I’m using Chrome and can select things as normal.

    Yeah, mine was fixed with an update after eight months of the bug. Was pretty annoying πŸ™

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #3149

    Was digging through the horror section on PlutoTV the other day and this one near the bottom caught my eye. No idea how they sort the categories but it was pretty good! Interestingly, the RT score is 90% but the IMDB score is close to 50-60%. Granted, they use different metrics but still interesting πŸ™‚

    I kind of miss the simplicity of Usenet and the BBS boards. Had access to some of them twenty years ago when Bellsouth was hosting them. Hard to beat a simple mailing list like browsing but with better organization.

    in reply to: Random #3143

    Other than a few books on the wait list, I’ve pretty much run out of science fiction from the library. At least, space opera. So I’m moving to horror books now. Wish me luck!

    And another one came in: City Car Driving. It has VR support, which the other two do not, but its wheel support isn’t as extensive according to the reviews but it definitely warrants some additional research to see which one of the three programs is best suited to me πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Samsung Tablets #3138

    More than likely. A higher power input means more heat if the battery can’t absorb it all so you want a charger with a lower power for those devices. Don’t remember seeing power tolerances on spec-sheets like we have for humidity and temperature, which seems like an oversight since we have chargers of several power ratings. There are some that output 300W!

    What’s wrong with copying and pasting? Don’t seem to have any issues on my A7 Lite

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #3137

    Put out a holler on Reddit and the peeps over there also suggested taking a look at Euro Truck Simulator 2 so I’ll add it to the list. May have me on the wrong side of the road, though πŸ˜›

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #3135

    Sorry! I mean CPU controlled cars other than mine. The patterns don’t need to be realistic, just need some moving obstacles to practice on. πŸ™‚

    Thanks! Will give that a go πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #3131

    BeamNG Drive looks like it may be a better sim than Rigs of Rods and shares many of the same devs. I think it has ambient cars but need to make sure. Tried Rigs and, while okay, it is missing some features I need for a good practice sim

    in reply to: All Things Site and Organizational #3130

    Sorry, WordPress croaked on my post last weekend and I never got around to retyping it.

    Yep, we could set blog up as a general category. As we get more content, we can set it up with more to make finding things easier.

    Hattical arts! πŸ˜€

    Yep, the music pairing there is great! Still need to see Valerian. Will one of these days. May go ahead and add it to the list for the next few weeks, looks like I can get it over here πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #3128

    The stuck entry doesn’t appear in the registry at that location. Wish we had a proper search function for the registry. The find option just isn’t cutting it!

    That’s a lot of whitespace! Better view would have the search bar next to the menu options like that. Assuming it’s using some sort of XML based layout (among others), they could do that with the float property in CSS. GTK, for instance, uses CSS for its theming and you can even set up the layout using Glade or directly using XML πŸ™‚

    Yeah, BIOS updates can go either way. For some reason, they seem to be pretty finicky. But when they work, they do a good job!

    in reply to: UpperLowerProper #3127

    Still need to log in to GitHub but a C++ version doesn’t appear to be too difficult with few dependencies, especially with the filesystem library being added circa 2018. May take a stab at it and see if things start coming back to me as it’s been a good while since I did coding and I have been in the mood for more than just thinking up algorithms. πŸ™‚

    Essentially, we can do with addition and subtraction with the ASCII values, going character by character in the string. For proper case, we’d also check each substring, delimited by a space, and compare that to the word list for proper case. Another option is to use the transform function on the string and combine it with the toupper() or tolower() functions to do the whole string in one go and add it to to the new path list. Finally, we’d take our collection of paths and apply the rename function on them. Sorry if the algorithm is pretty rough, I’m pretty out of practice πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Comings, Goings, Doings #3126

    Yeah, it’d be very nice to have a setting just for the video drivers as those are the most likely to be handled manually. I get why Microsoft has them through Update so people can get up to speed as quickly as possible on a new computer as well as so people who aren’t as savvy don’t need to handle things themselves but, for the rest of us, it’s very annoying! Whelp, just downloaded the latest installer and will reinstall them when I’m up to the constant reboots πŸ˜›

    Ah, okay. Yeah, it seems very dry over there. Most support forums at least have a board to just chat!

    Suggestions for which? Not sure which segment you’re referring to πŸ™‚

    πŸ™ Chocolate always goes over well! When I visit family that’s fading, I often will bring a smorgasbord of goodies that I either made myself or was prepared at my favorite grocer. πŸ™‚

    Sounds good. Will watch out for it! The A7 Lite has trouble with pages that use scripts or have a lot of images. Fine for news headlines and Wikipedia but reading the news articles doesn’t go well, nor does using it to browse more general stuff around the web. It gets a bit sluggish in that case πŸ™‚
