    This is what I have for the bedroom. It works pretty well πŸ™‚

    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 πŸ™

    Yep! Got a Roomba!

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

    Ugh. That’s annoying!

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

    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 πŸ™

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

    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 πŸ™‚

    Yeah, I have a big candle. Not much but it should do πŸ™‚

    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 πŸ˜›

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

    in reply to: Comings, Goings, Doings #1083

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

    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!

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

    in reply to: Plugins #1079

    Great!

    No idea what could have caused it but at least it’s working again!

    in reply to: NAS #1077

    I wouldn’t recommend a cover when it’s running as that would block air intake, increasing the likelihood of overheating.

    An air purifier, though, would be beneficial. Once I get things rearranged in the next few months, I’ll be getting another myself for the computer to handle dust. As it is, I don’t have a good spot for one without risking tripping over the cord.

    That reminds me, I need to dust tomorrow. It’s been several weeks since I dusted. I really need to get in the habit of dusting every week :/

    Poor Zeus πŸ™

    If you’re running Ublock Origin, could you try temporarily toggling it for the site and reloading to see if there’s a rule acting up?

    If not or if it doesn’t correct anything, could you try loading things in Firefox and see if that’s any different? I’ll make a dummy post in a minute for testing purposes

    in reply to: Random #1072

    Yep! That’s a good one! I may have to flip a coin. πŸ˜›

    I do like the traditional covers but I also like to the get the fun ones every now and then. Such as this one. That one is great! πŸ˜€

    But it lends a better flavor to pie crusts! I tend to use olive oil a lot when making pie crusts. Bit unorthodox but I love the strong flavor! πŸ™‚

    The Sims 4 went free to play right before I fried the previous system so I think I’ll give it a whirl in the next week or so (finally). I do like The Sims πŸ™‚

    Trying to pick out the Power Girl cover for October is hard! I like both of the primary variants! πŸ˜›

    in reply to: Logoff During Post Action #1067

    Any chance it could be the video card drivers restarting? I haven’t had constant Explorer crashes since the XP days but have experienced similar behavior with bad video drivers

    On Spastic Hamburger said

    Really weird there was never a desktop version for YouTube shorts, so that the layout would be more like the regular length videos. All that white space, and two clicks just to get the description. So did a bit of googling to answer this question.
    The purpose of which was to view this video in standard YouTube format, so the description at least is β€œless fuss.” Naturemapr is a nice site, if only Australia wide, spawned by a gov. dept. (so more or less provincial at that) – one would expect such an enterprise to be world-wide instead.

    Yeah, not a fan of the mobile interface on the desktop version. Also, autoplay is a bit annoying πŸ˜›

    It’d be nice if they had a toggle of some sort!

    Cool! I wonder if we have something like Naturemapr? Could be quite beneficial to have something like it here πŸ™‚

    Still haven’t gotten around to installing PowerToys on this system. Will get there! Just slow πŸ˜›

    Shows up here. What shows up instead?

    in reply to: Plugins #1062

    Looks like it’s hit general availability in the admin panel. I’ve gone ahead and applied the update πŸ™‚

    in reply to: Walrus Ramblings #1061

    Sorry, I meant that I think the issue was related to posting the wget command. I think I know what was wrong but I’ll need to test it when I get the opportunity. I do wish we had the database but alas!

    Sounds good. Will hold off a bit. It may fix some of the backend stuff πŸ™‚

    Will need to do it again as I had done it in bbPress. I should have done it locally first but five years of zombie-ness has left me out of practice. πŸ˜› Will make a note of it so it doesn’t happen again!

    in reply to: Tabbing from Title to Body #1060

    Yeah, just tested it in simulated mobile mode here and I get the same thing. Definitely a difference in browser behavior. Really not sure how to fix it on the computer :/

    Saw Jaws yesterday! It was fun but I still liked Piranha more. πŸ˜›
