How odd! On the desktop it is the submit button, so if the post body is empty:

• Error: Your topic cannot be empty.

Your call entirely, actually not unhappy with the way it operates right now. As long as folks know it’s under the auspices of WP and not something else going on with the browser software. 🙂

There’s no room anywhere to post our ridiculous piccies. Here’s another post, of our favourite dog, spent hours trying to find out how one could post it as a simple slideshow in Facebook, guides like these don’t work. The remaining option is just to record the stills in an MP4 video. 😕
Right now, after a bit of thunder it is raining! Hope it keeps up a while. ⛈

Really weird there was never a desktop version for YouTube shorts, so that the layout would be more like the regular length videos. All that white space, and two clicks just to get the description. So did a bit of googling to answer this question.
The purpose of which was to view this video in standard YouTube format, so the description at least is “less fuss.” Naturemapr is a nice site, if only Australia wide, spawned by a gov. dept. (so more or less provincial at that) – one would expect such an enterprise to be world-wide instead.

Wow, know what model? If it’s possible to view the content either through the camera or an SD reader, does there come up anything interesting?
How interesting, the Wikipedia article says there was an earlier series:

Starting in July 2009, Power Girl received her first ongoing series, simply titled Power Girl (vol. 2), with the first twelve issues written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, drawn by Amanda Conner,^[10] and colored by Paul Mounts.^[11][12] According to Comic Book Resources, the series has been “wildly praised for its fresh and fun approach.”^[13]

Wonder who she paired with in that?
The local newsagency moved shop in downsizing, and funnily enough at the same time someone faraway decreed no more MAD magazine issues were to enter this country. It so happens this is the last issue here. RIP AEN! 🙁
Edit: Posted this to Facebook, as the file was a bit too large (Zuck has plenty of free). 😛

This also happens on retrieval of a page with unposted text, or in rare situations (think gremlins) when the posting fails. The text may be retrieved with View Cache Data for Chrome, or a slightly different way in Edge.

Baldur’s Gate 1 was the only one, it got to be a bit repetitive from memory. Will try and complete it. 🙂
There does not appear to be much in AutoHotkey re W11 taskbars, there’s a poster here with his multi-monitor setup for future reference.
Quite a bit in the TT Sim, along with quite a presence at Steam, and a chance to build a better dystopia, too! Uses Lua, which is pretty nice, and there’s a console for fun and testing. 🙂
From a PowerToys devotee from Win95 days, welcome to the club! 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Rather generous of them, indeed. 🙂
Was there anything in the MS Teams thread for addition here?

From this blog it explains:

Through From Dusk Till Dawn, the Titty Twister bar goes from Mayincatec-inspired nightclub to vampire den to a full-blown Mayincatec sacrificial pyramid almost buried in the Mexican desert. All within a short distance of the Mexican-American border.

And here there is:

As one of the genre world’s preeminent Mexican-American filmmakers, Robert Rodriguez is known for creatively incorporating his Latino background into his work. Even though Quentin Tarantino wrote the script for From Dusk Till Dawn, the matte shot of the Aztec temple at the end was Rodriguez’s idea, no doubt in an attempt to connect the film’s vampires to a Mesoamerican identity rather than the traditional European image. The filmmaker hung the painting on his wall for eighteen years until he finally got an opportunity to return to that imposing pyramid.

Yeah the AztecMayincatec theme wanted re-inforcing, if there was ever a little souvenir shop next to Titty Twisters that sold “local” vampire gear including pyramid shaped mementos… The resulting effect of the movie was to bang together a bunch of terrific ideas and hope it all worked within allocated time & budget constraints.
Liked the soundtrack, especially Stevie Ray Vaugahn and his brother’s blues. 🙂
Heh, had to choice on FTA of watching Piranha or Vera, went with Vera as the other seemed a bit teeny- was that the case with you?
Go for the early Midsomer Murders with Nettles, they have some genuine moments of creepiness, some of the late ones can be fun as well. 🙂

Ah, missed that the SSD will be to load the games on, which makes sense, sorry. Yeah, on the W11 machine here, it’s the opposite, the OS lives on the SSD for a really speedy bootup, and if there’s any room left (500 GB), games can be installed, played, then uninstalled in order to accelerate its demise. 😛
HDDs are different, the motor driving the rotation usually conks out before anything else. 🙂
Is it ever worth trying SteamOS at some stage, SteamOS3 runs games better than Windows, so long as one uses Steam Deck hardware apparently.

[DeVaultSetter]

Ah, it’s a Valve game, and the site directly links to Steam for downloads, so you have it installed then. There are many things that appeal about the Steam interface, having certainly maturated, but not to the point of suppuration.
Yes, work & play. Surely there will (or does) exist a (non VR) game that folks with shout from the rooftops runs soooo much better on *Nix than Windows. Can one ever be tempted?
And the other thing, to reboot in order to play a game, won’t that bring forward the EOL circumstance of the precious SSD even more?
(The persistence of such dilemmas could send one past PEBCAC territory, and into the Slough of Despond, wringing their hands, sponging their eyeballs, and shaking their very peripherals with grief!) 😭

[DeVaultSetter]

Wow, blast from the past, the idea GLaDOS is a personification of Prometheus is interesting. Playing it on the ‘Nix? Possible with Steam, not with GOG.
Ah, okay, they seemed to have more of the right shape. If there ever was an animation in the loading of the web page with the aforesaid share links falling from the top to rest in their current position, then would it be better to call them share crumbs?
Terrible fires in Hawaii. 6.5 ml. of rain here today, long time between drinks, so more may come early next week. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Definitely Sin City, why none have appeared on FTA here to date is cardinal!
From Dusk to Dawn is another Tarantino creation, and fits into the description of uneven. Some of the best scenes ever in noir schlock intermingled with surprisingly ordinary dialogue and plot/character development. Still recommended for the good bits. 🙂
Currently streaming The Bridge, and into the second series. There’s nothing much to say for it, other than each series having 13 episodes, hence the self-inflicted resolve to view it until the bitter end. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Obviously a step up from the W10 Windows Calculator, which itself isn’t too bad. Baldur’s Gate 3 is now released, and a few mods besides. Have a Baldur’s Gate (1) game save ~13 years back with 75% completion. Really wanted to complete that before getting onto BG2, other stuff such as Oblivion got in the way. 😛

Whenever it wants to rain, the Peron’s tree frog gets active and frequents the drainpipes, with something like this:

Obviously a home recording with a mic, or from the tablet is possible, a water proof pipe camera & mic would be ideal! 🙂
There’s a name for the image effect in the following video – similar to that in the old movies when a character is about to recount or replay a scene remembered from an earlier time.

[DeVaultSetter]

Nice one, the Wikipedia article on GladOS never got to GA, but they did manage to pull the Botticelli source from this book.
Ever play Portal – Wolpaw was great wasn’t he, also missed out on Pyschonauts as well. 🙁
Just love the crumbs – is that what you call them?
     

One of the links on his site has been updated to this, very interesting lead blog feature on Musk et al, and the Zen lexicon, yeah!

[DeVaultSetter]

That Jack Frost fella looks scary. Yeah, lets get all a gush with Kill Bill, anything with Sly, Van Damme or Segal. These days, John Wick has the wherewithal to address many issues. 😛

Subscribed to the Cult Cinema Classics channel, they want $6.99 bucks a month to join it though. What’s the benefit of that other than no ads?

Have you seen The Cosmic Man?

[DeVaultSetter]

Tir Na Nog: Land of Eternal Youth, which is the same as land of old creeps as per yours truly. 😛
One could weasily understand his point!
Totally sold on Yuji Ohno – his jazzy arrangements:

And movies:

Captain Future – yeah!

[DeVaultSetter]

Good luck with the X-Fi, dug up a four year old post with driver problems.
Driver problems with VR known at AMD and Reddit. No issue without the VR headset then?
As a matter of interest, tried more than one monitor yet? There’s a few issues with PrgLnch & W11, we’ll get to them. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Were you almost sold with Eve – or do we wish for a tutorial on how to survive stuff on a shoestring budget?
Made some ridiculous alternatives to The Sky is Blue. 😛
What do we have to do to get awarded a Wikipedia Barnstar? Here’s one to pin on the door of the vault:
