Alright, got the first post copied over. It’s not public yet but that can change whenever we’re ready. Looks like the post editor has most of the same features as the page and site editors but defaults to a paragraph block. So, in theory, we could embed the forums into a blog post as well. π
A longer post also gives me more to work with with the styles. π
My highschool friend had another one of our old buddies down visiting so he brought him over to the shop, knowing I’d be there, to say hi. Very thoughtful! Abd very good to see both of them again! π
Excellent idea! We can look at starting up our own list for Walrus Stuff! π
On that note: etckeeper is a life saver when doing server updates as it lets you compare changes between software versions and quickly get back up and running when something breaks in the configuration files.
NMS added fishing a few weeks ago. It’s pretty cool but the skiff they added is pretty basic. There’s no good way to get on it other than jetpacking and it’s a bit of a hassle to move while you’re on it. Hopefully they improve it!
Despite a lot of folks calling them dead formats (they’re not and still have good uses), 4k Blu-Ray discs and SACDs are still widely available. The latter is mostly available from specialty stores but there’s quite a selection!
Quite fond of Sin City. Picked up the graphic novel last year and it’s pretty enjoyable. It uses mostly sketch art instead of traditional comic art and is also in black and white, giving it an interesting look. It really worked out rather well
Saw Demon Seed yesterday and the plot made zero sense! It wasn’t even the fun kind of bewildering. It was just… bizarre
I’m going to try and add a drop-down link list to the navbar for some of the forum pages, like members and groups, for engagement in a couple of days. I think it may be doable
Certainly! Can definitely take a break to get some content up over there. π
Still have an item or two on the list that I just remembered so I’ll see about getting those together soon, too. I also forgot to uncomment the padding changed to the comment box in the post view. Will fix that!
Yuck. Sounds reminiscent of the Crowd Strike bug that broke the world recently. π
Okay, here’s a more public article: https://www.foodandwine.com/kitchenaid-evergreen-stand-mixer-fall-launch-8714173
Sorry about that!
Sorry, most of the critical articles from bakers are paywalled. I’ll try to find a better one. The gadget sites rave about its looks but the people who actually use it are wholly against it.

The plot thickens! I just did a bit of a dive and they just removed the link from the site, the pages still exist. The quickly thrown together Wikipedia article from information gleaned from the paywalled article says it was due to permitting and construction worker shortages but, again, I haven’t been able to find any other articles and no official statements. Based on this, I think it’s fair to say that they may be keeping the door open and would still like to get something off the ground. Would really help if I could read the news article in full or even get another source of information, though

Not too surprising as they made very little progress on it but I was really looking forward to it.
Blech. Another paywall. I’ll try to find some public articles when I have time. Sorry!
Interesting, that’s the only article I can find on it at all. Weird.

Registration page is sort of synchronized with the rest of the styles. The footer was intermingling with the form so I added this:
/*Prevent footer from intermingling with other elements*/ footer { clear: both; }
That tells it to load on a new line in the viewport.
I also added a two pixel border around the form elements. For the main forum, the forum index doubles up on the border because of an oversight in the bbPress selectors. Essentially, they have two different selectors for the index in the block that sets the borders, which gives it a stronger look. Nothing I can do do about that, it needs to be fixed directly in the bbPress plugin I believe.
Whatβs next?

I understand the point they’re making but the seed vault is still better than doing nothing at all. If we don’t have it, we’re definitely more likely to have issues than without it. That said, one option is to move it to a more favorable location. How? Easy! We have a little known place quite nearby that doesn’t suffer from anything other than cosmic radiation called the Moon. If we dig down and shield things, that may be a good option. Of course, it would need regular support runs to keep the systems topped off and maintained but, with the planned moon base, that may be doable. Granted, it’s more of a long term idea and a lot of infrastructure would need to be constructed but it may be a solid option.
Also: Zoidberg plush!
So, yeah, this thing was announced: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2024/09/kitchenaid-evergreen-mixer-status-symbol/679896/
Highly impractical and expensive. For the same price, you may as well get an Ank and have a much better mixer.
Apologies for the paywall!

Always been a big fan of Columbo over here. It has been a while since I’ve seen it so I may go ahead and watch it again. Looks like Tubi has it!
Saw this B-movie. Wasn’t intended to be a comedy but the acting was so bad that it wound up being hilarious. Those are some of the best ones!
Pretty sure I mentioned The Woods several years but when and where I saw it eludes me so it may have been around 2018 or so. Gave it another watch the other day as I recalled it fondly and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
And finally got around to watching The Changeling. In short, it was a masterpiece. Highly recommended if you like ghost stories
Interesting, but completely useless, tidbit of information: Melbourne, Australia and Fairbanks, Alaska are currently experiencing the exact same weather with roughly the same temperature and precipitation. Why, yes, I did get a little bit bored. π
Whoops, sorry. Forgot to ask yesterday before applying it. Will try to remember that for next time. π
Yeah, hopefully they include some fixes for the editor. It can be pretty wonky in addition to that block being somewhat broken
There is a plugin that supposedly enhances it, Elementor, but I havenβt looked at it very closely yet. Just glanced at it a couple of times

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the Scarlet & Violet – Stellar Crown set for Pokemon just hit general availability yesterday.
In related news, the 2024 Yu-Gi-Oh tins hit general availability on 2024-09-20 while OTS stores will have them 2024-09-18
And Magic the Gathering has a new set coming out soon as well:
Duskmourn: House of Horror hits general availability on 2024-09-27 with a preview on 2024-09-20
General availability is when the products are available at all stores. These are mostly your big box stores like Walmart and Amazon. For some TCGs, like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, small, licensed stores are usually allowed to sell the product a day or two early.
Still trying to come up with a good way of making the links in the main post more generic. Unfortunately, most pages are region locked. For example, I can provide the rule book links for, say, Japan or the US but not a global link that will automatically redirect to your region. The redirect occurs at the root URL, not the subpages, which sort of complicates things for localization.

Yay! Looks like they finally fixed the battery drain issue that’s been plaguing me since February.
