    Got a few ideas to add to the list in addition to the robot one: arguing for space travel and such to be publicly controlled as opposed to privately and the benefits of a national electric grid 🙂

    I have some stuff in the archive I cleaned up last year that I plan to toss in the knowledge base. I just need to revisit it and see if I can figure out why WordPress was puking when I tried to post some of the stuff before. Sorry, I only just remembered!

    Yep, know all about that! I tend to fret a lot over it, myself, even though my ancient devices still work fine 😛

    It would be nice if Windows would stop overwriting the GPU drivers, though. Don’t want to turn off the driver feature of Update since I don’t want to hunt for all of the rest but having to reinstall the GPU software periodically is getting annoying!

    Well, I have been known to act a little odd at times. Unless you meant other forums? 😛

    Sounds good. Make sure you add points to Luck and Perception! Always handy, those two! And have a good trip!

    Which model are you getting? I’m still rocking the A7 Lite but may upgrade it sometime next year as I’m using it more and more for research, which it sometimes has a hard time with. 🙂

    Yeah, these days I mostly try to just ignore them. I actually blocked them from sending me phone messages a year ago as it was getting pretty bad. This they complained to my mom about and never did come to me with it. Not even a note on the door or in the mailbox.

    Sounds good. Will take a look at it soon (got the GitHub notification). Been helping my mom go car shopping which has been a chore in itself. It’s not the dealerships that are a problem, she just has her heart set on a couple brands, doesn’t like their offerings, but won’t try other brands. We’re kind of at a standstill so I’m looking up the brands she won’t try to try to convince her otherwise. 🙂

    It mostly depends on the programming. That is, how much free will are they allowed? Otherwise, they could be said to follow the wishes of the 1s and 0s. Granted, there will be people saying they do that anyways 😛 Part of the trouble is that the industry has gotten a sudden obsession with making robots more human in appearance even though they’re not necessarily as functional. It’s very hard to get a bipedal robot to climb stairs, for instance. Crawler bots have a much easier time of it. By focusing on our own appearance, we’re also granting them all of the weaknesses of the human form when other shapes have a lot of advantages depending on situation. Thanks in part to the media, we’re losing sight of their true purpose: to perform tasks well and efficiently.

    Ah, so I should switch to cosinusoidal progression, then? 😛 Or maybe a tangential graph. Granted, all the spikes would be nerve wracking!

    Sounds good. Definitely don’t want things to go belly up again 🙂

    I think it purges the cache after doing updates and checking for them. It did that the other day when I applied the BuddyPress update, too

    in reply to: The Thread That Broods #3115

    Sorry, been exceedingly busy the last few days.

    There’s a thought! I could also get some fun signs such as something that says, “Dinosaur Nest EXTREME CAUTION”. 😀

    I do have a few videos but have no idea how to upload them as I rarely work with videos. Will play with it some!

    Still haven’t figured out what’s missing from my life. The thought came up as I started feeling a bit empty again the other day. Not sure why. I know I just finished the hurricane post but I’m already working on the next idea (arguing against humanoid robots (they’re bloody androids, media!)) so that’s not it. Maybe I’m simply overthinking things?

    So I know you’ve been pestering me to watch Wayward Pines. Since I can’t get it on the services I subscribe to, I decided to read it instead!

    Also, happy Halloween!

    in reply to: The TCG Thread #3112

    So I settled on Donald Duck – Pie Slinger for my late game heavy hitter as its secondary effect has good synergy with the rest of my deck. We’ll find out in a few weeks if it works well 🙂

    in reply to: Plugins #3111

    Got another CLeanTalk update. Should we make a backup first?

    in reply to: Random #3110

    Begging to run out of science fiction to read so I think I may shift back to horror for a bit. Been at least a year since I’ve read horror. 🙂

    in reply to: The TCG Thread #3109

    So my first deck from scratch in six years is almost done. I just need to pick out a few more cards. Essentially, it works as a lore farm at its core. Right now, I’m just trying to pick out the heavy hitters 🙂

    in reply to: Plugins #3108

    And update applied 🙂

    in reply to: Plugins #3107

    Sounds good. 🙂

    in reply to: The Long Hall of Hilarity #3103

    So we charge a small entry fee just to get them going! 😀

    Marbles, too! Can’t lose them otherwise!

    😀

    in reply to: Sounds and Music #3102

    Almost Halloween so we need to kick it off!

    😀

    in reply to: Content #3101

    And published! Now we can think up the next topic!

    in reply to: The Thread That Broods #3096

    Sorry, had to take a break from this topic to cool off. I got pretty infuriated so I had to avoid it for a few days.

    Yeah, the HoA here has been inconsistent about the common grounds. There were some changes to the laws over the summer regarding HoAs but I haven’t read them in full yet.

    I swapped it out with a wire fence about a foot high and enclosed the front half of the bed. Never did get any acknowledgement, good or bad. /shrug

    Honestly, it sounds like a strong sense of entitlement and a lack of wanting to take responsibility. They even admitted to not paying attention. I also caught them using my driveway as overflow parking, keeping me from getting my bike out if I wanted to use it and keeping my own guests from being able to park. Going to need to sigh again. 🙁

    I’m tempted to put a “No Parking” sign up on my driveway, if only to confuse people. Would be fun when my friends ask me where they’re supposed to park 😛

    Oh, you’ll like this: this week, I’ve been redesigning and rebuilding a wheelchair for a kitten whose back legs are weak. The wheelchair it has is too big so I’ve had to come up with a way of making it work since it’s what the rescue group has. Finished the bulk of it yesterday and the kitten was able to walk again! 🙂 Still have some tweaks to do but we’re in business! 🙂

    in reply to: Content #3095

    Sounds good. I’ll go ahead and make that addition and get it published 🙂

    Then we can start brainstorming for the next one!

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #3091

    Huh, never knew they also released a Backyard Skateboarding game. Looking at Wiki, it looks like they’ve been trying to get it going again. They could definitely try making at least adding one sport to the series: lacrosse. Wasn’t popular back then but it’s now popular enough to warrant a game. Could be fun.

    Not familiar with that feature. Is that a new one? Mostly live in Linux land 😛

    CodeProject will be missed. Used to use it often when I was just beginning to learn C++ 🙁

    They may just be upset. Reddit isn’t exactly the friendliest of sites. Certain boards are better than others but it’s still there.

    What’s the best way to remove a stuck entry in the Install/Uninstall programs list in Windows? Updated a piece of software and it added a new entry for the new version but kept the entry for the old version, which is now a broken link. Tried to remove it using Settings – Apps but it just says the link is broken and won’t remove it.

    Side note: I still haven’t gotten Power Toys set up :/ One day!

    in reply to: Random #3090

    Not sure what the current quality is like but Cracked used to be a fun read. But, yeah, it’s going to be hard to fill the MAD hole.

    Yeah, looks a bit pricey. May be worth checking a sample out at the newsstand first. Wikipedia has a pretty good list

    Yuck! You could try something like OdoBan if they sell it over there. We use it over here and it does wonders for getting smells out of things.

    New No Man’s Sky update! It’s mostly just a Halloween event with nothing major but does include a few bugfixes. Very pleased to see the butterfly wings sound being tweaked. When I first heard it, I thought there was something wrong with my speakers 😛

    in reply to: Content #3089

    Okay, added a closing section. Is it ready to go live?
