Raithe Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Possibly get away with Daniel Radcliffe as in most of his weird indy movie roles of late... Edit. Although one of my friends has said he chooses to describe me to people as "a cross between Richard Castle and Herr Flick of the Gestapo"... So that could weigh in on the actor choice.

Bartimaeus Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know if there's anything horribly wrong with the Vivaldi browser? Chromium backend, but I installed it earlier and just spent like an hour customizing the crap out of it so that it's basically the same as my Firefox (which is now like...a year+ out of date because I refuse to update to the latest version that screwed up everything), and I'm seriously contemplating making the full switch now. It's apparently made by the same guy who made the original Opera (Presto) engine before Opera decided to switch to Chromium themselves, which is what inspired me to try it out because Presto!Opera was my favorite browser of all time and I ran it for like 3-4 years past its last version before all modern webpages constantly breaking all the time forced me to switch to Firefox. Edited June 2, 2022 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

LadyCrimson Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Guess it's been a slow week for everyone? ...I got food poisoning, spewing from both ends for a couple days. That was fun. ...it rained a fair amount - relatively speaking for time of year - for a couple days. Felt almost tropical. Now it's super hot again and I can't sleep. ...we're still not totally moved/cleaned out of the Bay Area house. In fact we keep talking about how if the home prices drop a little bit the next several months/year (higher interest rates, inflation slowing buyers and other such things) maybe we should look for another house in the same Sac. neighborhood that we might like a tad better and get rid of/sell the one we're currently in. We seem to be all kinds of confused/confuddled re: our future plans. >.> EDIT: although the way the world is going I'm still leaning towards selling everything and building an underground bunker-house in the mid-west.

Gfted1 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Cleaned out a clogged downspout on one of my gutters. Well I guess I should say I asked a buddy to do it. The downspout in question is 23' high, and my extension ladder is 24', but around 12' up I noped out and we switched spots. It took ramming a running garden hose through the downspout but finally a huge mass of leaves and debris came out like a play-doh extruder. It was so satisfying to see. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note: I have been down to Laredo when it was something on the order of 107°F. My first summer in Australia was after moving from Wellington (NZ) to Adelaide (South Australia). Say hello to 5 weeks of 44C-46C degrees (111F-115F) Queensland has better balanced weather though (IMHO). Less excessive heat in summer (very humid though) and less frigid in winter. Adelaide was close to 0C C(32F) at night every now and then in winter, I suppose that's part of having effectively desert climate. Where I live now it's more like 10C-22C (50F-72F) in the winter and 20C-32C (68F-90F) in the summer (typical night and day values, extremes happens of course). It's like a little "Garden of Eden" here with the subtropical climate 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

We wore out the car's A/C on that one trip (we visited AZ in that same journey) trying to keep us from becoming dehydrated bags of sand. Well, one thing about high heat (if you're lucky enough to have air conditioning at least) is that it makes a great excuse for homebodies like me to ... well, stay at home.

Raithe Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Testing out a few ideas - I'm not just printing and sewing... Took a jiggsaw to an old some-kind of pine shelf that would be chucked out. Then I had an annoying work day, so with the sun out I broke out the power tools in the form of the planer , orbital sander, and mouse sander... Now to decide whether further practice calls for delicate sanding and fixing, or just jump to seeing how to paint the sucker. Note: This is purely a rough prototype so I could make sure I had the logic all figured out..... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

LadyCrimson Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Outside of maybe very occasionally revisiting fave games for a day or two, I'm seriously starting to feel like I've become a non-gamer. >.> I still look but everything is "meh" or "hell no" ... indie, AAA, genre, doesn't matter. Even if a new game I try is ok/charming/playable, just bored of it all. That said I am still going to buy that Stray game on the 19th, which I expect to be shortish with little replay value, because, cat, and decent graphics (so very cute cat) for the budget. And less/little combat focus. After that ... I dunno...I suppose if Avowed is ever released I might at least buy it to try it but other than that...seems like I'll be saving a lot of money re: PC building for a long while. “Things are as they are.
