The recent posts suggest it’s due to GUI changes?
Yuck. Only going to get worse, too, over time 🙁
Be careful with the latest Windows update. Apparently, it has issues with very large file operations: https://wccftech.com/windows-11-latest-update-is-reportedly-causing-widespread-ssd-failures/
Ignore the bits about the Phison controller, that turned out to be misinformation pushed out by another party. It happens with HDDs, too. Microsoft is currently working on the issue, though. Seems to be mostly relegated to Asia, however. I’m seeing very few reports coming out of other regions. The ones that are are due to poor quality drives.
In other news, I finally got around to shutting BOSS down. We held the funeral about a week or two ago. It was well past time.
Really like the floating rock sculpture. And if I had a yard, the tube would be a wonderful idea!
In Vermont, they have this filing cabinet. Quite a story, too!
Finally got around to watching Monster from the Ocean Floor. Pretty fun. It’s mostly an adventure film instead of a straight creature feature, which is a nice touch. You don’t actually get to see the monster until the end of the film, which is rather unique for the genre.
These are wonderful! I do wish they provided locations for more on the list to help with sightseeing, though
Okay, first round of the header cleanup has been pushed to dev. Will decide on the next task soon!
I think the heightmaps need to be processed before they can be used in the tools for the Elderscrolls but I’m not entirely sure how that works. Can try to find out, though!
Not necessarily! In theory, archive formats support sizes of several exabytes. As for downloading speed, it’d be a pain on anything but a 1 Gbps fiber connection (would only take an hour there) but a download manager would help with that. Storage would also be an issue, as well as unpacking the archive. To work with it and to process all of the files, it’d probably take at least a workstation class system running Linux to do things efficiently. A lot of it depends on how their data is laid out
Excellent! I’ve gotten pretty good at minesweeper over here. Took a while to truly get the hang of it but it’s pretty enjoyable!
Yep! Listened to it a few years ago and Welles’s has the perfect voice for the voice over.
My favorite on the list is where all the nuns started acting like cats 😛
No idea. Is there a difference in usage? That may be why I’ve had trouble looking. 😛
Ugh, ArcGIS is expensive!
Yeah, ideally, something cheap or free.
TessaDEM looks like an interesting project. Not sure of the logistics of using it as a heightmap though. Would need to do some more research. At almost 500 GB, it’s enormous! But requires special access permission to download 🙁
Thanks for the post on the USGS! One of the pages I found earlier didn’t allow downloading but that one does. Would need to do it piecemeal, though. Still, worth looking into once I learn more about heightmaps. No idea what my intention is, honestly. It started off ages ago as me wanting to possibly import the Earth into 0ad for fun but now I haven’t the slightest idea. But, still, could be fun to do something with!
Remember the Goosebumps books but never read them myself. At the point, I was reading old Hardy Boys books from the used bookstore. Very formulaic but I enjoyed them a lot and still read through them from time to time. The older ones are better before they rewrote the stories to shoehorn modern technology in them. Once they did that, things became a bit sillier and a lot more nonsensical
Started on the GUI header files the other day and I can do some cleanup but a lot will need to wait until the generated code is sorted out as I’m not yet comfortable editing the generated code templates on account of not being familiar with the syntax and don’t want to risk messing it up.
So I’m browsing the MtG database out of boredom and came across this one: https://gatherer.wizards.com/UNH/en-us/94/elvish-house-party
So time your games to use it to maximum effectiveness! 😛
Yep! Let’s just not use it for a lot of explosions or a documentary on space flight. Things may…break 😛
Lots of good stuff here!
Every so often, I get in the mood to look into Earth heightmaps. Unfortunately, for the fifteen years or so of looking, I haven’t been able to find a good source.
Yep! Was pretty fun even if it is followed the usual pattern of protective mother bear that was impregnated by artificial insemination using the extraterrestrial version of sperm 😛
Still haven’t seen the Craig films but I really liked the Dalton ones. After a time, though, they do get a bit repetitive. That said, Christopher Walken was a great Bond villain. Walken is always a lot of fun!
Getting in the mood to get more 4k discs, just need to decide on what I’m in the mood for 😛 Maybe some of the classics from Criterion?
Still enjoying Fairy Tail. Lots of fun! Still have around 100 episodes to go until I’m done with it but I may take a break next week to watch some more old films. Been in the mood for B-movies lately 😛
The redirects can be done in Apache with a regex, I believe. We can’t do anything about the description tag or other attributes on our end without editing the theme file itself.
Google’s tool has some WordPress support so we may want to investigate some of those recommendations when we get the opportunity. Some of them are simply due to the hosting constraints. The Performance Lab recommendation looks like it’s worth considering, assuming it doesn’t conflict with Litespeed or anything else.
The minify recommendation has to do with the custom CSS that the Style Pack lets us use. It doesn’t have an option to minify, though. Maybe a feature request for Robin?
Some of the others may be changeable somewhere in the theming stuff. Ugh, always dislike going into those two areas. They’re a pain to navigate!
The previous record holder was made for seismic research: https://pmamagazine.org/one-giant-cone-for-mankind-meet-the-diatone-d-160-the-largest-subwoofer-ever-created/
With this one being even bigger, well….. 😛Local government is about the usual: bickering among themselves so little is getting done. 😛
I’ve started cleaning up the header files the other day. The initial pass isn’t a big job and mostly consists of removing excess stuff but I’m going to take my time on it so I don’t wear myself out like I did with the last run.
I’ve added most of what I can think of to the issue tracker but there’s bound to be stuff in the thread that I missed. Feel free to add anything you don’t see already in the tracker 🙂
By California law, any product that could contain anything on the P65 list is required to list it on the packaging as well, even if the substance is used in a way that it won’t actually harm you. EE doesn’t really need to list it at the bottom of the site as it’s the burden of the packagers but it does help raise awareness. 🙂
Good set! May need to pick up some jazz next time I go to the record store. Don’t have jazz yet!
The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith leads us to this Wikipedia page. Interestingly, I’ve seen several on that list. Not sure why Night of the Living Dead was censored when it was a pretty tame zombie film. Most of the others I can understand. It’s odd that there aren’t more Troma films other than Mother’s Day on the list. Bit surprised, really.
Most of those aren’t available at the moment here but I’ll keep an eye out for them!
Am enjoying Fairy Tail even if it’s not as complex as Black Clover. Definitely fun, just doesn’t have nearly the depth. Of course, it’s several hundred episodes longer so it’ll definitely entertain me for a while 😛
The bus shelters seem to do okay with folks respecting them, for the most part. Wouldn’t be too concerned about the panels as they’d be on the roof. Even if the panels are deemed too expensive, at least give me a roof!
Been to The Villages a few times, including a couple of months ago. It’s mostly golf courses, in addition to the overdeveloped housing. Very little retail, theming, or even leisure activities outside of golfing. They may have a movie theater somewhere but I don’t remember ever seeing one. Theming would be nice to keep it interesting instead of it being bumper to bumper homes
Disney used to own Celebration, though!
It’s a fun little neighborhood with some fun shops and events, being right near Disney. Always visit when I’m in the area and it’s a nice and relaxing area 🙂
I don’t even know why you’d need that. Even in a mansion, it’d be too large for a room both in size and in bass output. The bass alone would drive me crazy! 😛
Been saying this for years: we should put a roof over all walkways. Not only would it help keep us dry on the sidewalks, it would also help with the heat. And, while we’re at it, let’s slap some solar panels on top that feed back in to the power grid along with fans to help circulate air, helping even more during the warm season. I’m tired of burning up whenever I need to go to the store!
Not fixed. Despite being told not to mess with area and the new sign, they killed off the brand new ground cover. I even pulled all of the weeds the other day. I’m not happy. I’ve sent a pretty annoyed email to the HoA telling them to get this resolved before the erosion starts causing my driveway and building to collapse. I’m close to demanding compensation. No way should I be paying for this each week when the lawn crew keeps killing it off
