Ring-a-ding-ding, baby.

Reminds me of TNG s3e14 with Data being judgemental of Picard's painting.

Where have I seen this before? Was it Star Trek TNG? Fringe? X-Files? Man, this is really familiar. I seem to remember it not turning out well for the courier.

If we could keep falling back every year, but skipping the spring ahead, that would be great.

Eventually, my sleep schedule would be considered normal.

Well, I'm glad I looked at this again! It seems there has been progress! I know what I'm doing this weekend.

I would love to on my cheap-ass Nextbook Flexx 10. But the last time I heard anybody tried Linux on it, there was almost no driver support for it. I love how small it is, I don't care if all i can do on it is browse the web slowly and maybe run LibreOffice.

This chonky boy is 19 this year. He has dual Xeon quad cores, and 32gb of DDR2 and a 980Ti. He streams 4K videos with ease and plays most of my Steam library. He's running Mint. And he eats about 425W while he does it.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Probably between 200-300mg. I would never do caffeine pills, as I enjoy my methods of caffeine consumption.

Typically, I'll either drink a 2-cup moka pot, or some espresso. I never drink drip or French press coffee. Too bland. Turkish coffee is also good, but I don't get that too often.

If not coffee, it's usually Monster rehabs or Celsius. Tea is more for enjoyment than the caffeine content.

I have had Crohn's for 22 years. I am now on medication that has it controlled, it's wild. But I feel like I don't have the bowel strength for formed poops anymore! It's pretty exhausting going once a day. It's a whole event. Like a sloth.

I'd take one of those. My P4 is only 3.0 GHz.

When the games stopped shipping completely on their physical media is when they lost me. So, I guess PS3. To me, a console should be a completely self-contained experience. You want a game? You buy it. It comes on a disc, or cartridge, or HuCard. Doesn't need to download updates. Doesn't require the internet. Just pop it in, and boot directly to a game. Immune to digital stores closing, or servers shutting down.

If I have to download 50gb when I bought a game on discord, what are the discs even for? And I would still have to worry about disk space? Man, I'd rather just have a PC.

 

I found an old, sealed media center remote at a thrift shop. But not all of the keys work out of the box. When I run evtest, it definitely recognizes all of the key presses, and identifies the keys correctly. But how do I assign them to things? Any help would be appreciated.

I am running Mint, by the way.

 

The group is a bit smaller these days, just one buddy. We're doing some XP gaming. I got Battlefield 1942 running here, with the Battlegroup 42 mod. My Dimension E510 can really handle up to BG42 version 1.35b, but apparently they aren't hosting that on ModDB anymore. I had to find it on some shady ancient Russian file hosting site. But I got there in the end.

This is the first time out for my Precision 690, I've been working on it for about a month. I rescued it from a rage room, it was going to get beat to scrap. I asked, and they gave it to me! I swapped the single Xeon 5160 for Xeon 5355's. 2gb of ram for 32gb. The crappy display adapter for a GTX 980TI. It is an XP era powerhouse. I have not gotten XP x64 running on it yet, but it's running Mint 22.1 like a champ. I put an XP theme on it until I can dual boot the real thing. I am super stoked this thing is running. Mint might be the better option for it, actually! Good 32bit compatibility with Wine and Lutris, and full use of the 32gb of ram and 8 cores.

 

I saw the movie in high school, when it came out on VHS, and I loved it. I bought the book, and couldn't put it down. It was perhaps my favorite piece of sci-fi for a while. I thought John Travolta was delightfully hammy, and that the movie was extremely quotable and fun.

A coworker of mine were just talking about musicals this morning, and my strong dislike of Hamilton. For some reason, it popped into my head that I would love a musical of Battlefield Earth, and John Travolta should sing in it. This sentiment was not shared by my coworker. So, yeah, that's it.

 

I really don't know why. I don't take that many notes. When I'm in meetings, I've been telling people I color code my notes. But honestly, I have just been switching pens at random.. I'm never going to use all this ink before they dry up, and it's going to be a pain to clean them all. Normally, I'll only have one or two inked at a time.

 

I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.

I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.

Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!

 

I tried just about every suggestion here, but still couldn't get an airtight print. This is transparent PLA. I'm going to play with my speeds and overlap to try to get it clearer, but it was dimensionally accurate and completely sealed the first try.

Don't look too carefully at the barrel, it's just a hollow test one. I was able to eyedropper fill and test the grip section with it, but the OD is wrong, and there's no real filling mechanism in it. That's phase 2 of this project!
