  1. Mm...it's always just "yellow squash" in the store/common usage from where I'm from. They're in the large and varied summer squash family, basically kind of like zucchini except a lot less bitter and more neutral (and have a curved neck/fatter bottom vs. straight), hence I like them more.
  2. *My pc suddenly starts making these constant wounded, weird, low-pitched beeps* ---check temps, check other stats, all seems fine, but a warning sound of some kind? ---restart PC. Keeps beeping. Fully shut down. Beep is still going. Ok... ---unplug the PSU power cable. Still beeping. wtf? ---roam around the desk looking at other potentials and finally ... ...it was the little portable alarm clock I have on my desk. I must've hit the top button accidentally at some point (making the alarm functional) and a low battery was making the beep really sound weird/unrecognizable.
  3. Looks a bit longer and taller, but a little less wide. Depends what their measuring points are tho. The RedDragon I bought had a weird widening downward slope to the sides that made it feel wider then a from-top measure if that makes sense. I basically can only stand something the size of what are known these days as "portable"/"laptop" mice. 4.5" or less long, 2.5" or less wide and less than 1.5" at highest point. Hence the Amazon one. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-3-Button-Wired-Computer-1-Pack/dp/B005EJH6RW
  4. Spaghetti sauce day again. (edit - yes I'm too lazy to go totally only from tomato paste, these days) (I was going to make/post an actual short video but I decided I fail miserably at cooking videos, especially in this tiny old kitchen).
  5. I love it when docs do this, as if they've never thought to themselves "it'll get better on its own". Just a rash, just a back/belly ache, bug bite, cold, bad clams, screwdriver slipped, etc. We're so used to our bodies doing such a good job most of the time of recovering if we give it just a little bit more time, one more day etc Glad you called/got treatment in time and it seems to be getting better.
  6. I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Programmable-Buttons-Switches-Profiles/dp/B00GU4F4OM/ because "everyone" said it was the smallest gaming mouse and might work for my small hands. But nope, it's still too "fat"/wide for my liking. Although it would be usable/isn't too large, it's still a bit uncomfortable and side of my thumb would hit the side buttons when I didn't want it to, too often. So it sits in a drawer unused, like many other peripherals and I just use a tiny Amazon Basics mouse.
  7. I've grown to like wearing a mask because I don't have to "social worry" if I have a zit on my nose or food stuck in my teeth or whether I need a breath mint or if my teeth are too yellow or any of that shallow stuff. No one can tell anyway. It's a great time to be a slob.
  8. First time I knew of him was that Winning song he did re: Charlie Sheen (don't think he has it public anymore but I have a copy somewhere, he was so young!), which led me to his channel and his early videos. His channel has changed a lot and I don't watch everything but he's kept me entertained off and on for a long while.
  9. Just be sure to include pics. Although I'd also be interested in what you end up thinking of the water loop.
  10. (I wouldn't double-post if y'all posted more ) Ok I officially love this guy. His normal stuff is singing songs in a style of another artist/musical concept. This BB King style one is fantastic. Talks his process this time, song starts around 7:09
  11. WTF? I'm in that section of YouTube again.
  12. Is this music or humor? Both? I'll put it here. I've been keeping tabs on YT "Roomie" for years, I love his impression vids/weird humor mostly. These days he has pretend feuds with others on YT. Anyway, ran across this guy "challenging" him this time. He's hilarious, loved it. When he imitates Roomie at one point I lost it. Plus I think he beats Roomie at the impressions this time. Edit: Also, that 'stache is awesome.
  13. I don't know ... technically I guess it's a light saber. Yet...it has a way to go before it's like (or feels like?) the one in the movies. Still amazing/cool, tho. The earlier/longer project vid:
  14. Sigh. All these games I've been trying, they're fun for a little while but they do not narrow-focus "obsess" me. So back to FFXV at the moment because Ansel screenshotting can pointlessly suck up hours with all the "camera directing" one does. Plus, I mean, doesn't everyone want to wait 15 minutes to take a 130GB screenshot of a CGI eyeball just to see what happens? Note: Windows Photo Viewer/irfan/other viewers do not seem to like images over 15x 4k - at 20x4k they tell me there's no memory left or that it's not a real or corrupt file and whatnot. Party pooper programs. Guess I need 128+GB RAM and NASA imaging software or something to actually view such shots...I suppose 15360x8640 will have to do instead.
  15. Then I either get sore elbows and/or soreness from holding my neck up. I can't lie on my belly for long w/out wanting to prop up on an elbow or roll to the side instead. It's neck-uncomfy and most of us females have something that kind of gets in the way of that. I don't know how hubby sleeps on belly with arms crossed under/above his head. So uncomfortable.
  16. Sometimes, when you can't it makes you want. I still like reading but my hands/thumbs no longer like the "book claw" position so it's difficult to read for long, thus it's hard for me to get into/finish them. I could use hardcovers but then I need reading glasses and a book holder (so I don't get a crick in my neck) etc. Same for ebooks/tablet, really, so I haven't bothered with ebooks yet.
  17. Well, I'm late to this news party. Didn't know about this (I spend my time in the off-topic section these days...). Watching the trailer almost gave me a tingle of excitement. Almost. I personally don't mind 1st person (although if it's party-oriented I do tend to prefer 3rd) - but I found most Elder Scrolls games to be too sterile feeling. But that doesn't mean I find the comparison a bad thing. If Avowed ends up as a mixture of the things I did like about Elder Scrolls games (but less of things I didn't like) and combined with the things I tend to like Obsidian for, well ... it could be a home run. We'll see.
  18. "The town's blacksmith wants 5 iron ore from the cave over yonder so he can make me some fancy new armor. I really need it, help me out guys. " ...*silence*.... "I'll pay $75 for each piece of iron." Companion 1: "I'm busy meditating in the garden." Companion 2: "It costs more than that just to polish my sword and shield. Triple it and I'll think about it. Maybe." Companion 3: "What a delicious sounding reward!" ...I'm down for it.
  19. That's why you always keep your tablet loaded with a few (offline) games and fully charged.
  20. ^ He cheated recreating that JP shot - he's not showing down to his waist/belly button.
  21. Cheap 12" 4 quart (or something) frying pan is too small. Just saying.
  22. This frying pan has been cat approved. Seen in an Amazon user review for a frying pan. The reviewer said they liked the pan and that "BTW, they also provide a lovely warm spot for a cat to occupy." Not sure that's where I'd want my kitty to warm its feet but ok.
  23. Oh, it's finally coming to Steam? I haven't avoided everything but I don't know a lot, either. Hm ... guess I'll have to check it out.
  24. I've had it since when it barely had a complete Act1. It's a good arpg and I played it a fair bit off and on but I still haven't gotten around to playing either of the DLC's. I have the same problem with it as I do with path of exile - something about the item/gear (and gear-stat) system doesn't appeal in the long run. I think the newer arpg's don't have the simplicity I liked about the older ones is all. Or the same sense of random-ness. But very good games overall (edit - GD does edge out Path of Exile a bit, imo). The D2 mod must've taken forever to make. A great way to get some D2 nostalgia but with newer arpg conveniences and GD's genre improvements. I wish I'd had this stash in Diablo2.
  25. ^ I've reached a point where if I sorta like a new series first few episodes enough to wonder what happens but still not enough to dedicate sit-still hours to it, I just read the wiki episode/character synopsis'. The internet has saved me countless hours in this way.
