Yeah, we got pretty hard here. We had several trees down and three homes having trees that went through the roof. And another storm potentially on the horizon. Yuck. Did I mention that I need to move? 😛

Talked to them again about trees the other day afterwards but they didn’t sound inclined to add more. In fact, it was the opposite. If we lay them out right, they can help protect us from wind damage and erosion, on top of all of the other benefits they bring. Why they’re so against trees is beyond me but it’s really disheartening 🙁

Wouldn’t be a bit surprised! NASA has done 8k before: https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/experience-high-res-science-in-first-8k-footage-from-space/

Not that the TVs are really affordable yet. 😛

I’m probably going to need to start reconstructing the base soon. If you follow the initial instructions, you end up with a bit of a mess as you unlock the various base parts. Now that I’ve got a good selection of structures, I should probably start laying things out better. Going to take a lot of resources, though. Really need to start taking screenshots to share!

I added the padding styles back in for blog posts. I did try adding the backgrounds for the post header and post body but they’re doing some weird stuff to set the widths for those blocks so it didn’t go well. I’ll need to see if I can take another approach.

Gotta say that WordPress does get frustrating at times with the weirdness they use.

Looked into adding a counter for the comments on each post to the blog index since some folks like to keep track of activity (it also lets them know they can comment before reading) but didn’t see an option. Will keep looking, though

Whelp. My settlement in NMS farms dirt. Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any systems that want it. They will only buy it for 40% or less below market value. 😛

Taking a break from hunting down Atlas to work on my base and explore the systems I’ve already visited. My fleet has grown by a ship, too. 🙂

And another Python classic:

Sorry for the low video quality!

ROTOR, Turkey Shoot, and Brainscan were all fun if you enjoy B-movies

We did lose a few trees so I guess the wind was worse than I thought. Sadly, I doubt the HoA is going to replace them. They’ve stopped planting trees where they’re needed. They’re not really environmentally savvy and are bickering amongst themselves about silly things.

[Spastic Hamburger]

And we’re back! Wind wasn’t too bad but we did have a limb fall on the main line behind me and they just got us back up. The lines in my neighborhood are underground. Really wish they’d do that for the rest of the town. Plugging everything back up now. Glad I took the precaution 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Crumpets. It went east. Time to batten down the hatches and cook up all of my eggs. /sigh

I’ll be unplugging everything in a few minutes so email will be the best way to get ahold of me until I get everything back online tomorrow

Alright, got it published. Figured I should get it up before the storm in case we get any hits. Interestingly, we can make a post private or even password protected. Not sure why we’d do that for a blog post. I can see it being useful for pages, though.

Could be some driver bugs. I know the ones Microsoft ships are sometimes hit or miss. Have you tried downloading any updated ones from HP or the component manufacturers? You also may want to check the monitor manufacturer’s site. Granted, monitors are usually fine with the generic one shipped with Windows

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sounds good 🙂

Get them sometimes on mobile but not often. When I do get them, they cause a lot of lag

Will hit the publish button soon!

Yeah, it’s a shame we were never able to get it working 🙁

Will take another look at the thread after the storm. Going to be a bit busy prepping until I get up Friday. Fortunately, it’s supposed to only be around for a couple of hours Thursday night and be gone shortly after midnight so we’ll be asleep when it comes through 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

We do but the surgeon said no swimming for a few more months. Hopefully soon!

Yeah, I’m debating about unplugging everything this go around. It’s a big hassle to get everything but it does make things safer. Ultimately, I’ll need to replace the motherboard battery sooner rather than later on account of our storms. Eventually, I should probably upgrade to a non-sacrificial surge protector. They’re expensive, though. 🙁

They’re still uncertain what the storm is doing. They’re saying possibility of 60 – 75 MPH winds depending on where it goes. Hopefully it veers west! I’ll make a decision before I go to bed tomorrow night

I really need to move somewhere where I don’t need to constantly worry about hurricanes….

Cool! Really wish we could get similar experiences here in Florida. Disney and Universal need to take note!

Right now, they’re pretty general. You can catch sharks, mud crabs (but not giant mud crabs), eels and the like. Interestingly, you can catch the same ones everywhere in the Universe but there are ones specific to planet types such as fish that can only be caught on very hot planets. Really hope it gets expansion in the future as it’s a great concept.

Never heard of it either! Jack definitely seemed to have lived an interesting life before passing

Been planning to add the background to it. Really need to revisit it now that I’m getting more comfortable with CSS again. It’s on the list!

Yeah, I’m not seeing a setting for link behavior outside of the forums. Seems like a basic thing that’s missing.

In the meantime, is it ready to hit publish?

Got a possible storm coming tomorrow night. The prediction so far is only for 35 MPH winds, which isn’t bad, but it’s still something to keep an eye on.

[Spastic Hamburger]

Great! Any idea what the issue was?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I always wear earmuffs when using the mixer. It gets loud! Especially when I’m whipping up egg whites or cream. Ten minutes of that is pure torture!

In theory, one could make an in-wall mixer. Would be much quieter and would like quite nice. Wonder why nobody has taken the plunge yet?

😀

Haven’t made pumpernickel yet. Probably should at some point since I quite like it!

In the mood for making something a little bit more adventurous. Any ideas?

[Spastic Hamburger]

We can’t have that! Man the lifeboats!

Sounds good. Hopefully it can be resolved without too much hair pulling 🙂
