My favorite part is where he was supposedly drunk and on crack the whole time. He even got barred from entering the studio as the guard thought he was a random nutcase. Sounds about right 😛

Really need to watch Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels at some point. Its Talk page is a pretty fun read, too! 🙂

The Rift was pretty enjoyable, even if it was a pretty typical underwater adventure film. The acting helped it stand out even though the plot wasn’t anything to write home about. 🙂

Almost stayed for yesterday’s tournament since it was starting earlier than usual but decided I wasn’t yet ready. One day! 🙂

Meant to toss this in here earlier but we need a miniature golf course. Why? Why not!

I’m thinking sci-fi themed. Giant robot blocking the green, rocket falling over, planetary rings as the track, etcetera.

Golf with Friends has a level editor that could be handy for such a thing.

Getting my mom set up with an Ecoflow Delta 2 Max. She lives in an area with a sensitive grid so she’d like to be able to get some power when they get clobbered by a hurricane. 🙂

It’s a standard Dish Network dish. It’s pretty banged up and looks like a tree had fallen on it so it may not be usable (the shape is all out of whack). Won’t know until I fix a wire to it and plug it into a radio, though. Will probably also want to give it a good scrubbing. It’s pretty dirty. For cooler weather!

Lorcana seems to be pretty popular. Perhaps it’s worth including it into the first post?

Thinking about buying a couple of Pokemon starter decks. Never did play the game, just liked the artwork. Would be a slight change but I’m kind of in the mood to try a game that’s a little less intense than Yu-Gi-Oh. Not that I plan to quit playing, just want a great of fresh air is all. 🙂

Trying to do some research on plasma confinement for some ideas bouncing around the dusty processor and Wikipedia’s article leaves a little to be desired: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_confinement

It just links to the different types instead of providing a general overview. The overview would be really helpful so I had a better handle on what I’m reading in the linked articles

The DoE does a slightly better job: https://www.energy.gov/science/doe-explainsplasma-confinement

Sorry! Looks like that image was removed for whatever reason. Here’s a new one!

Yeah, the A/C is set to turn on at 80F. The humidity is so bad, though, that it’s still very high outside even at 72F. It’s horrible!

Great! Yeah, I need to do that with my lamps. As I use them, the screws holding the shafts together and the one holding the shade down come loose so I periodically need to tighten them up. Had one time when the whole thing came apart on me, it was so loose 😛

Will definitely add it to the reading list! 🙂

Over here, we also have instances where prisoners are sometimes exploited to run scams using their phone time. Always disheartens me 🙁

Found these yesterday: https://www.boxlunch.com/product/disney-the-nightmare-before-christmas-sallys-storage-jars—boxlunch-exclusive/13341930.html

Would look quite nice in the kitchen! 🙂

The jars came! They’re much bigger than expected!

I have the entire series of Flying Circus on DVD! 😀

Could also use it to mail a letter! 😛

The sleeves came in and they work like a charm! They’re a much better fit than the basic standard sized sleeves over a regular Japanese sized sleeve with much less movement. 🙂

Let’s hope not! Not a fan of politics in my science news. They should probably have a separate publication dealing with politics and science so that those of us who don’t want to deal with it can just get our science fix. Or the other way around. Will probably still resubscribe as it’s the best way to get science news with the downfall of RSS. It’s a real pain to manually check each site and see what you missed, especially when some of them put the articles in popularity order instead of by date. The future of news consumption is pretty bleak if the community doesn’t add older features back in. 🙁

User feedback is now about ten to fifteen pages in and they cut the cartoons while adding a section where people can describe their own professions at the end, sort of a slice of life section. The political editorials are usually in the first few pages but they have published research articles with a political slant a few times. I generally skip those as they’re pretty biased and the end results are largely based on the data set.

Been getting some good content work done. Saving the other site stuff until I’ve recovered more but recovery is going well. Still have a minor lingering headache but it’s just about gone now so I suspect I’ll have fully recovered by the weekend 🙂

Yeah, I’ll go in if this sort of thing happens again. I did talk to my dad and he did say that it runs in his family so it sounds like it may be genetic. In the meantime, I’m calling it a glitch in reality 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Copying this here so it doesn’t get lost (even if it is on the second page 😛 )

Had a quick but fruitless trawl for “playable” TCG WP plugins, the most attractive looking one is the octgndev at wordpress.com, but of course we’re at least 12 years late, and things have changed considerably since then. Is there any chance at all with the Pokémon TCG SDK?
As for databases, wpdatatables is sure to do the job, though rather big, Energy Search will want a brush up, MTG Tooltips possesses certain charms. 🙂

Added a (very) short blurb on card grading

[Spastic Hamburger]

Everything’s working on this end in Chrome. Could be some code deviation between the two browsers or just a random hiccup?

They’ve been having quite a few hardware issues in the Atlanta, Georgia data center as of late so I may opt to transfer us to one of Linode’s other branches with fewer hardware issues at some point. Lori had similar issues with Atlanta a decade ago, which is interesting. I wonder if the infrastructure is more frail in general? Could be something with the utility grid, I suppose.

Grandmother’s House was pretty good. It relies mostly on story telling with little violence, language, or sex which made it a nice breath of fresh air. The star attraction? It features Uncle Leo! 😀

Ugh! Even Nature is getting political now 🙁

Just renewed the domain. Dynadot made a boo-boo in our favor. The renewal was supposed to increase to 12 USD but they charged us the bulk domain price of 10.19 USD. Going to need to send them a note at some point. Only did one year this go around in part due to the other expenses the last few months.

[Spastic Hamburger]

I’ve updated the first post with a list of official card databases for the big three TCGs 🙂

No worries! With one thing and another, I haven’t had much time to get going on stuff myself. Still need to do some research on a few things that are bugging me, too. Will get there!

Downtown does have a few thrift stores that weren’t on the map. Going to need to check them out when I get more opportunity. Always did enjoy the second hand stores 🙂
