    Great!

    Cool! That must have taken a lot of preparation!

    Yeah, the current rental environment is similar over here. Some of the companies try to handle too much and wind up not being able to handle any of it very well. We have a similar issue with the outfit our HoA uses to help manage things around here. They’ve bitten off so much that it took a year of bi-weekly emails to them to get them to finally submit a work order to fix wood rot around on my building even though the HoA had been pestering them too. It’s a bit of a mess :/

    Been thinking of getting a few beehives for over here. Could be a fun hobby!

    I do like having discs around. They’re quite handy! I used to take a laptop on school trips (along with a few discs, of course) so that I could watch films with my friends in the hotel rooms. We’d also watch them on the bus. Can’t do that with streaming!

    Yep. Started watching Scream the other day after finishing the Friday the 13th series and the Scream films are a blast! They’re mostly slasher films with comedy mixed in. They poke fun at slasher film tropes and even include some pop culture references here and there. For instance, Craven shows up as a janitor dressed as Freddy. 😛

    Well, we do have KFC vending machines 😀

    And, whoops, I copied the Farm of Tomorrow twice! Meant to have the House of Tomorrow in there!

    Might be some fun ideas in there that we could borrow!

    Tex Avery cartoons were some of the best. I loved his off the wall humor. He got canned from WB after displaying Bugs falling off a cliff, though. 🙁

    I miss old cartoons!

    Watched Nightmare on Elm Street the other day. While good, it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. For some reason, I have a hard time getting into supernatural horror films. I like the corniness of creature-features and slasher films 😛

    😀

    Virtual! She doesn’t even drink water anymore, only coffee! 😛

    Well, she has a caffeine crash some gametime later. I haven’t installed a tea infuser yet. I do wonder which she’ll prefer. 😛

    The game is fun but I do miss the wide-open world of The Sims 3.

    Feel free to start up a jokes thread whenever!

    in reply to: Sounds and Music #1252

    Lovely! Would make some great music to pair with a super cut of lights blinking on technology! Cut from a fax machine to a modem to a mainframe…. 😀

    Sorry! I thought I had hit the submit button!

    Don’t remember too much of Apocalypse Now. My attention kept wandering while it was on…. 😛

    I should probably fix that. I remember bits and pieces, though!

    Older films had better music than recent ones, in my opinion. Licensing has gotten to be such an issue that many just use as little as possible now. 🙁

    in reply to: Baldur’s Gate #1249

    Weird! That sounds like a translation file got messed up somewhere

    Memory access defines the blood level…? I really don’t understand that logic 😛

    So are you running it on Linux, then?

    in reply to: Random #1248

    My Sim has developed a coffee addiction. Right before she is supposed to sleep, she made three cups of coffee and drank each one immediately after the other 😛

    in reply to: PrgLnch #1245

    Yep, new version and, yep, I had closed it before I clicked to go back. 🙂

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #1243

    Nope but we do have heavy mineral deposits in the area, which may be part of the issue. I’ve had many a spigot clog up! 😛 A water softener may help at some point

    Got it three years ago after the old one kicked the bucket. Not only has it been leaking but the heating coils crapped out.

    I may try running some vinegar through the washer in case there’s something lurking in there 🙂

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #1239

    Amazingly well preserved!

    My washer isn’t holding up nearly as well. No idea what year it’s from but it’s relatively recent. It’s developed a short that causes it to sometimes skip the spin cycle so I need to run the spin cycle manually. 😛

    Another annoyance that may be due to the water quality here (not sure) is that it’ll stain the clothes with what looks like rust stains. Minor staining but annoying all the same. Some clothes stain quicker than others, which is weird. My socks, for instance, don’t have any stain marks on them at all while my shirts get the staining. I don’t understand what’s up.

    in reply to: PrgLnch #1233

    Sorry for the delay!

    So it launches Notepad without issue save for a bunch of resolution warnings (I’m running a 4k monitor at 144 HZ) and, on exit, the Back to PrgLnch button yelled at me about a missing window and took a few seconds to allow me to click it.

    I downloaded the zip from GitHub but there may be a better way to handle things. I suppose I could use Git on Windows, though

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #1218

    Will add it to the list! I still need to play through Neverwinter Nights! 😛

    I used to like playing MMOs but I’ve been having some trouble getting into them lately. Not sure why :/

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1215

    So Disney is coming out with a box set consisting of most of their films: https://www.polygon.com/23868034/disney-100-movie-blu-ray-set-pre-order

    Very cool but expensive!

    in reply to: Cooking #1214

    Finally got around to ordering another cookbook: The Cake Bible. Should be here sometime next week!

    in reply to: Gramps #1212

    Yay! How far back does your DB go so far?

    Cool! Those are quite extensive! That must have taken a lot of work!

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1211

    Cool! Didn’t know they did a reboot. And a TV show…? Didn’t know that.

    These films can be fun but the plots are always full of holes (no pun intended…I think) ! I guess that’s part of why I like them. 😛

    Sounds fun! Will add it to the list! Only available for rental currently but maybe that’ll change 🙂

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1204

    Child’s Play was fun but, golly, it had a lot of plot holes!

    For example: they jumped from the kid being in a mental institution, just having busted out of his cell but wandering the facility still, to being at home. How did he get out without anyone catching him? How did he find his way home? It was 1988! It’s not like he had GPS (it was primarily for military use at the time) or had been to the institution before! Or at least enough to be able to find his way home without assistance

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1191

    Yep, it’s been dubbed! I always try to watch dubs as I have issues with reading subtitles and following along with what’s going on onscreen at the same time 🙂

    Been meaning to watch The Descent since it came across my radar a few years ago. Saw it mentioned somewhere in passing and I thought it looked intriguing but it was pushed to the back of my mind until recently.

    And to think, over here, 12 – 20 episodes per season is the norm! British seasons are half our length! Never did understand that. 😛 Granted, British shows are often of higher quality than ours. Ours are a lot more pulpy 😛

    Watched Friday the 13th The other day and that was enjoyable. Wasn’t a big fan of the bobbing camera they used to hide the killer, though. Found it a bit disorienting. Also have Child’s Play on the list, which should be fun!

    in reply to: Random #1190

    I still get the message that it needs to be set up by the organization. I’ve been trying every week or two but without success 🙁

    Yeah, I’d love to save those things! We have a lot of good stuff in there!

    Interesting. Didn’t realize they could quantify it with a formula. Going to need to read the article when I get the opportunity!

    Read Far from the Light of Heaven the other day and that was a fun read. Murder mystery in space!
