@Big_Diggity We always do the day after to avoid the restaurant rush and babysitter availability. Plus, things are like 50% off the next day! On leap years, she plans the evening.

A heron at my folk’s house has switched from fish to chipmunk.

I enjoy watching Clarkson's Farm. He could have just retired and relaxed, but instead decided to jump into something brand new to him. It seems pretty obvious that he just wants to create something good and pleasing to himself and share the journey with others. I have a hard time understanding the haters' point of view. He employs a lot of people, raises environmental awareness, tries to make a profit, and makes it entertaining. Endless bureaucracy. I wish I could say the USA was better.

So I thought I might have a GPU problem, but it turns out that it was just a bad stick of RAM!

@MarioERoc That sounds nice! Wish I had an annual trip, but 3 consecutive years is about the best I’ve managed. Lives and situations change so much that it requires a lot of discipline to keep up.

@eliotedits That was about the age I fell in love with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. There was a bit too much about sea biology, so maybe an abridged version would be best.

@TheCM So we shot it down, AFTER it did its thing and possibly sent the data off, but didn’t do it in a way that we could easily recover or study it. I guess that’s better than letting it float off and have whoever captures it control the narrative.

@TheCM Unreal isn't it?

Just started reading Designing Your Perfect House: Lessons from an Architect and I think I’m going to like it. I’ve always had a deep love for architecture, but was always against approaching it formally until I had formed my own opinions firsthand. I kinda like observing buildings to see how they make me feel, then try to figure out why.

I'm not super excited about first person shooters, or gaming in general, but I had a fun thought. We could have something like a LAN party after work, (beer and pizza) with all of the levels being different buildings we've built in the past. We already have most of the models, but they're in Autodesk formats. I remember pulling some stuff into OpenSimulator once, but something like Red Eclipse would be better. Anyone done anything like this?

@COTimesRecorder A good article that states the facts. I can't guess Hans Mai's opinion of the university or their stance on issues and that is refreshing. CCU is not wrong, there are a lot of people who are frustrated with higher education because it has become a place so embracing of Leftist values that it can't tolerate any others. I know several folks to who go to CCU and they all love people, regardless of their stage in life. They don't believe that the state is the cure for everything.

AI designed ITX cases...NICE!

@deutrino Minetest worked on Android but I don’t think it works on IOS.

@ajroach42 @ajroach42 Dark Matter was fun. I liked SGU too.

@deutrino I don’t think so, but I also used the box as a client.

@deutrino I ran one for my family around 6 years ago on a box with 4GB of RAM and a 6 core Phenom ii. Worked fine. Version 1.7 IIRC. The mods we did were just Python scripts pushing commands through the server, no JavaScript stuff. Every new version broke stuff. Minetest is less mature, but turned out to be just as fun, way more snappy, and our mods stopped breaking. Plus we don’t have to rely on Microsoft’s authentication servers to log in.

He has been found and is safe!
