That has got to be an easier way of sorting. What I’ve been doing is picking a card theme and then individually going through every card, pulling out the ones that fit said theme. Afterwards, I sort the theme to my preferences. Finally, I pull out all of the duplicates I don’t need, keeping the duplicates organized, and put them in a single bulk storage container (decided on using cheap deck boxes for ease of transport and so I don’t need to pay a lot of shipping as the shop doesn’t stock small card storage boxes) for later use.
Maybe it’d be easier if I did a rough sort of each storage group before pulling everything together? I really should have done this years ago 🙁
😀
And related!
Thought I had posted it here but didn’t see it. Oh, well! The more the merrier!
And DEVO!
😀
That’s a real problem! We get slasher marathons from time to time OTA and Tubi has a dedicated category for them.
Yep, seen it. Thought it was really just a random combination of action scenes with a frivolous plot. Of course, my dad loved it. He just likes action in his movies, plot be damned. 😛
Saw this one yesterday and it was…interesting. It was under the slasher category but was definitely not a slasher. It was a thriller but it also had a few scenes close to softcore porn in it. You wouldn’t have been able to figure that out from the description. Good overall B-movie and pretty entertaining if for the silliness alone. 😛
Cool! Most video editing stuff is beyond me as I’ve never really messed with it 😛
The periodic name changes to xMM (First OBMM, then TESMM (or something), and then NMM) are rather problematic. The general name change was understandable but the latest one isn’t all that necessary. The issue is that other programs that rely on the current name could be thrown for a bit of a loop, especially older ones that aren’t updated as frequently.
Need to share this one again:
It’s a classic! They show it on TCM periodically 😛
A quick reverse image search says that it’s similar to the tradition Stearns coat of arms and the one for this guy. There were a couple of others as well but those were the most similar 🙂
They didn’t give a timeframe, it was more of a call to action than anything. It mostly focused on how it would disrupt the ocean currents.
Over here, our buses have bike racks but they can only hold a couple of bikes. In other areas, people are starting to get folding bikes to more easily take with them but those can get heavy! 😛
Cool!
Is the family crest a recent addition or is it an ancestral symbol? Ten years ago, my grandfather made a bunch of them for the family as a joke because he was bored 😛
😛
Decided to try the sausages again as it’s been a few years. Hopefully I don’t find any fragments this go around 🙂
Yep, pedestrian and bike traffic seems to be an afterthought! Just a couple of months ago, they were doing sidewalk repairs by laying down new sections of concrete and decided to do both sides of the road on the same day. Come on! I had to walk somewhere! 🙁
It varies. On the main road, bikes need to abide by similar rules as to cars but, on trails, it’s mostly a courtesy thing. While you’re supposed to signal on roads, very few people know about and do so and it’s not at all enforced.
Yep! That’s actually the next article in the issue I’m reading! Would have gotten to it yesterday but I read a paper by NASA on how the Greenland Ice Sheet was doomed in it which kind of threw me off a bit. Kind of depressing.
Haven’t seen Artificial Intelligence yet but it’s been on the list for years. Just haven’t gotten around to it 😛
Watched Mortuary yesterday and that was quite good. The first half is mostly a mystery film and then the killer gets active for the second half, with a few unexpected twists to it. Very well done even if a couple of the facial expressions looked artificial 🙂
😀
They haven’t done a robotic dino yet…? They’ve done most everything else!
No cartoons or ads in this one! Pure science!
🙁 Had similar issues buying sausages from the local butcher. Every time I buy some, I wind up with fragments in them. The sausages themselves are great as they make them themselves but I got tired of them not separating things well enough and had to stop buying them
I was exploring Toronto on VR this morning and they have shared road space with their trains. So trams on steroids. Really wish we had that here. It’d be nice! I’d even settle for regular commuter rail. Florida has hardly anything but buses 🙁
Yay! Got my first issue of Nature!
Another classic:
Great, thanks! Omnivore looks interesting 🙂
Not entirely sure how much stuff I’ve got saved. Sadly, the old Google Reader archive was lost some time ago when that HDD died and I didn’t back it up first (really should have). Got other bits and pieces lying around, as well.
Yeah, I always like to manually save the links when I can instead of relying on the built-in lists. That way, I can always go back to the page if I need to without having to log in and it makes sharing things much easier 🙂
Organizing the collection is a pain in the butt but it needs to be done so that I can find everything! But ugh. 😛
Yep! They had various multi-part episodes and they’d have ongoing storylines across a season. The early seasons were mostly self contained episodes, though
I think I may have that issue in a box somewhere! I distinctly remember it 😀
Yep! Luke’s plan never did make sense! What was he thinking? 😛
Got the e-reader back up and running! Still having some database issues, though. Don’t know why I can’t get certain books, going to need to look into it at some point. Even some I’m trying to renew say the database entry is bad, which is weird :/
So they’re building robots to test out how dinos used to live: https://newatlas.com/science/robot-dinosaurs-hunting-techniques/
Animatronic Jurassic Park please!
They also sometimes send takedown notices for YouTube videos. There have recently been attempts to make Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine and I keep expecting Nintendo to shut it down.
Nintendo is also investigating the Paleworld assets for plagiarism as they feel it may be a bit too similar to Pokemon for their liking. Some of the models do look very similar so they may have some grounds there but, again, I haven’t really looked at things too closely
Shallow Grave was a fun one. Acting was hilariously bad, which gave it a certain charm. It also focused on the two dudes just driving around a lot even though they played no role in the film 😛
Yep, Dodgeball was fun!
Going to plan to see Night of the Lepus soon. Should be fun! 😀
Not in the games but in the other media it has. Originally, Mewtwo was a clone of Mew by Giovani’s scientists, aiming to create the ultimate Pokemon. Mewtwo got pissed at the experiments it was subjected to so it broke out, and destroyed, the lab. In Red, Blue, and Yellow you can actually explore what’s left of the lab (not much). As a result, Mewtwo lost faith in humans, which led up to the events of Pokemon: The Movie where it forced humans and their Pokemon to fight clones. Ever since then, Mewtwo has been traveling across the Poke-Earth looking for a purpose. It doesn’t look for trouble anymore but will still fight humans if they don’t leave it alone. I know a lot of Pokemon lore 😛
Looks like they’re saying they specifically won’t host mods that add Pokemon to the game but are okay with mods for Palworld otherwise. I agree with that decision as it’s a tricky legal area and Nintendo aggressively protects their copyrights and trademarks. 🙂
As for it being a ripoff, I couldn’t say yet. I’ll need to play it before I can draft an opinion (it’s on the wish list!). I would say that it’s inspired by Pokemon, though, and a lot of other games are.
I need a new way to keep track of articles that are of interest. I had been using Pocket but they made some changes under the hood so it’s now extremely slow on mobile (sometimes it takes over ten minutes to launch if it does at all). Any ideas? Been saving things as bookmarks but that quickly gets out of hand. 😛
Still need to sift through them at some point and start sharing again.
