But they still need to worry about getting punched in the face! Most uncomfortable! 😛
Superheroes seem to cause a lot of collateral damage, even when they’re just combatting the forces of nature 😛
I remember getting a card for free game time, I think it was for three months, with a computer of mine twenty years ago for the second game. Never used it for some reason, even though I did try WoW (wasn’t my cup of tea: too much grinding). I’m really surprised that they’re both still online. They definitely don’t do a whole lot of advertising so it makes me wonder how people find out about the games.
Speaking of games, I’m still trying to determine what I like now. Been so long that I’m not really sure what kinds of games interest me. 😛
If the bag is pure plastic, then it can usually be dropped off at a grocery store. I always wash out the recyclables with soap and water first to reduce contamination at the plant.
Old fashioned candy stores can be fun! We don’t have any where I live but other cities in the state do. Really brings a feal of nostalgia!
😀 Have you thought about setting up a dog bed for him there? He sure seems to enjoy that spot!
I really should watch Flash Gordon again. It’s a lot of fun!
Three of them and what I did was use the daisy-chaining feature of DisplayPort to clean up the mess of cables. Nice and tidy! 🙂
Yep, that’s the one!
Huh, looks like EverQuest is still online. Don’t know why I thought of it last night as I never did play it
Weird. I can understand keyboards doing that if they’re a membrane but a mouse shouldn’t be affected unless it’s got a pad under the button!
Yep. I get the lights overhead flickering if I also run the microwave! 😛
One laptop has W10 and cannot be upgraded to 11 for being too old while the other one is currently on W11. I haven’t had the chance to check the video ports since the new monitor was setup but will do so! The newest laptop may only support USB-C monitors, I’d need to check. The new monitor doesn’t use it and likes DisplayPort for access to all of its features. 🙂
The biggest change to Gramps on *nix has to do with the paths. For user files, you’ll find them in ~/.gramps. Additionally, you can change the database type in settings (don’t know if it’s the same in Windows).
Everything else, as near as I can tell, should be the same as on Windows other than a few UI differences to account for differences in platform features.
Sorry that it took so long!
There we go! Always found it useful!
Cool! Never tried a horror game before but it does look like a good concept. I do have some horror games I got for free, I really should give them a whirl!
It’s never a good idea to live in a town with superheroes. The insurance premiums, disruption, and constant property damage would not be fun at all, especially on a daily basis!
Things working any better?
It’s on the list! Going to wait for a sale, though. 🙂
I do quite enjoy the freedom of NMS and how it doesn’t have a story or anything. It does have rudimentary quests but they’re mostly designed to introduce you to the game elements. It’s not exactly an RPG, mostly a survival and space exploration game 🙂
Probably not. Now, Discworld would make a fun anime series. Surprised they haven’t done an adaption yet!
Strange! I wonder if some of the fumes have neutralized the odor?
Yay! He is missing many of the older ones from the pre-Geforce days. They may have been removed by the original author, though. I lost track of the site around 2013 :/
In particular, his article analyzing the visual effects various graphical settings had were quite beneficial!
Rooting does give you more access to the underlying Linux system and lets you do things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, such as interface with your computer. It’s mostly for tinkerers and not all devices are easily rootable. In order to continue to update the software, you’ll need to unlock the bootloader and then install a custom ROM which will wipe the system. I’m not sure if that requires rooting or not, though.
Yeah, e-waste is a big problem. Fortunately, there are recycling programs that exist (not too widespread, sadly). Generally, it’s recommended to contact the manufacturer to see what their recycling recommendations are. Often, you need to send them off somewhere which isn’t always practical.
It’s best to keep the old device online until you transfer all the credentials over. Newer devices do have a data transfer tool that will copy most things over but you’ll still need to set up some of the accounts afterwards 🙂
Yep, I highly recommend it if you’re up for something campy!
Haven’t seen it myself but I have been wanting to see it for a while. It is somewhat famous, though, for slapping a ton of makeup on Tim Curry!
Could be!
Haven’t had much chance to watch much lately with everything going on but I am enjoying Midsomer Murders. 🙂
Oh, yes, amazing music!
So I read the first book in the Wheel of Time series and it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. I found it way too similar to Lord of the Rings for my tastes. The plot was almost a carbon copy without all the fantasy creatures so it didn’t really feel all that original.
I could try it on Linux, certainly! It’s really just VR that must be done on Windows due to how the driver layers work 🙂
Cracked used to be good but I haven’t checked in on them in at least ten years while The Onion is always a hoot! 🦉
Could be! 😀
I do want to get back to writing in there. Maybe the new features will help give me inspiration!
I’ve always liked NMS but, now, things are a lot livelier! 🙂
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 😛
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!
Yep! That’s a good one! I may have to flip a coin. 😛
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! 😀
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! 🙂
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 🙂
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
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 “less 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 😛
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 🙂
Still haven’t gotten around to installing PowerToys on this system. Will get there! Just slow 😛
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 :/
