    Saw this one the other day. It was a riot!

    Got Kill Bill on the watch list now, too! 🙂

    Been meaning to say that I made duck soup the other week! No Marx Brothers were harmed!

    It was very good. It consisted of duck, duck broth, mushrooms, noodles, rice wine, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil. Incredibly easy!

    Doing some reading, it sounds like a cool gun isn’t a good early project. I’ll go through my electronics books again and see if something stands out.

    Would also like to code something, just not sure what. Maybe it’s time to fire up the Arduino that’s been laying around?

    XScreensaver deserves a mention! *nix only, though 🙂

    in reply to: Random #820

    Yep! And it never gets old! You can never rewatch the show too many times! 🙂

    This is actually the first time I’ve played it. I’ve played similar games in the past, though. Yeah, they seem to charge for a lot of things but we shall see how things go playing for free. Still early in trying it out 🙂

    Yeah, game sizes are enormous these days. Storage devices aren’t increasing capacity fast enough!

    Weather hasn’t been cooperating 🙁

    Been taking it out in the mornings due to the heat but it’s so humid that it’s not much better. I was walking to the store the other day early in the morning and it was so humid that I was drenched by the time I got there

    It’s also been raining a lot, making things pretty difficult. Hopefully I’ll be able to start back up in a few weeks!

    Gorgeous!

    Sometimes, there are beautiful lightning shows tens of miles away that we can see here and without the thunder. I really enjoy watching them in the dark! 🙂

    Been trying out Eve Online the last few days (will get back to NMS soon!) and I’m enjoying it even if it’s a spreadsheet simulator with very nice visuals 😛

    And Microsoft Flight Simulator is 150 GB…? That would probably need a drive all on its own!

    Edit:

    I think I’ll get a thread up for project ideas. Give me a bit as things are rather busy over here 🙂

    Great!

    For tracing the genealogies, the Imperial Library may be helpful 🙂

    It should be the same! But I’ll confirm when I get the opportunity! 🙂

    I think my aunt did our family tree a while ago. I may reach out to her and see if I can get a copy of it 🙂

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #812

    Great, thanks! Will give ’em a go soon! 🙂

    I’ve been attempting to penetrate the secrets of the Depths lately. There’s not a whole lot to go on but I’m beginning to think they’re the games’ version of the Underworld. We know a long lost civilization mined from them but how they transported the materials to the Surface isn’t explained (yet). The layout directly mirrors the layout of the Surface with key locations having an analogue and the Goddess Statues on the Surface are represented in the Depths by Bargainer Statues, which gather up souls. On that note, the region is filled with Poe’s which are the series’ ghosts and has altars and temples scattered throughout. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe that these represent fallen comrades and the like. Monsters are also much less in number while Gloom covers most of the region. More research is definitely required!

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #807

    Oh, definitely!

    Will add it to the list! Good science fiction is really hard to come by these days!

    Saw this one yesterday and it was a lot of fun! Kind of had a Short Circuit mixed with Terminator vibe to it. Lots of campy references, too!

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #806

    Some sites set it up so Gravatar is the default but I don’t know if that automatically sets up an account or not

    Cool! Yeah, I remember using V1 for Dwarf Fortress back then. Was quite useful to set up the generic layouts! Will keep an eye on it! Having V2 support would be nice even if I don’t use it much these days myself 🙂

    Speaking of Dwarf Fortress, I really should play it again! It’s a blast!

    Probably wouldn’t hurt to drop them a line 🙂

    Looking for a circuit designer to help get going on some of my project planning and I’ve been looking at the list here and in the following section (really don’t know the difference between the two categories). Any suggestions as to which one to give a whirl to? There are so many! Looks like a lot of them have fancy visuals and things when I really only need (at least, I think I do) the basics for diagraming and value calculation (could do it manually but it takes a while 😛 ).

    in reply to: Sounds and Music #798

    Lovely! And that’s given me another book to read! 😀

    And got a new one that just came up in my feed:

    Not even sure what genre it is but the melody is absolutely amazing! For some reason, it makes me visualize Bilbo’s visit to Rivendell in The Hobbit

    in reply to: Computer Setup #797

    Not yet, still haven’t decided on a VR headset but now that things are set up and functioning I’ll begin the research in earnest! 🙂

    Will probably be looking at Valve’s and HTC’s offerings as the Facebook requirement of an Oculus is a bit of a drawback

    Yep, I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Just used to cases using a 200mm top fan, which are pretty quiet in comparison. 🙂

    In the Winter, our club used to use a shop heater that had a big roar and kind of looked like a serpent. Loud but worked well! 😀

    Is this thread ready for me to reply to? Sorry, it never showed up in the stats and was listed as unread two weeks ago when it was hidden so I didn’t realize that you had made it visible

    in reply to: Topic: Pending to Open Issues #794

    Seeing similar issues. The stats don’t update and it still thinks the posts that are no longer hidden are still hidden as per the notice in the top bar. Let’s hope they get it fixed!

    in reply to: Computer Setup #788

    Nope. Not sure how it connects but I’ll see if I can find out!

    Yeah, the change takes a bit of getting used to. Most VR headsets have their own speakers so the speaker configuration shouldn’t affect it 🙂

    Spent yesterday testing things out. A couple of hours in No Man’s Sky and no issues at all. 🙂

    Fans are a bit loud but that’s to be expected with it using 140mm and 120mm fans and I knew they’d be a bit noisy going in so it’s more of a note than anything.

    in reply to: Software: On & Off the Web #778

    There should be a way to reset the orphaned accounts. Had that happen to me a time or two on other sites. I think they used to automatically create a dummy account for users way back when just to sync up avatars before official registration but I’m not sure about that.

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #777

    Ah, gotcha. 🙂

    Oh, no! Hopefully it’ll be okay!

    Let’s hope someone can! That is completely foreign to me. I don’t want to say Greek as Greek is used in math!

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #776

    Not yet! Still watching sloppy horror films! Yesterday was Humanoids from the Deep! The sexual content was a bit overdone and reminded me of Galaxy of Terror. Corman did have a part in the film so it’s probably not too much of a surprise

    Also caught The Burning which was a lot of fun. It even has Jason Alexander in a very early role and you can see the hints of the George that he would become in his acting.

    Cool! Will see if I can get them! I’ve mentioned this before but I tend to favor European films and shows for some reason, particularly British but I do like a lot of the Slavic ones too. Trouble is, most aren’t available over here! 😛

    in reply to: Computer Setup #772

    To reinstall the bootloader in my situation, I just had to do the following steps:

    apt install --reinstall linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic
    update-initramfs -c -k all
    sudo bootctl --path=/boot/efi install

    And audio works! 🙂 Only two speakers work, though, as the onboard sound only has a single line out port compared to the old system. I’ll need to go through Logitech’s documentation again later to see if there’s a way to get the others working without dedicated ports for them.
