I hate right handed measuring cups
  • Yuuup.

    I have a liquid measuring cup that only has the lines / amounts on one side - easy to read if you're right handed.

    Learning The Basics Of Astrophotography Editing
  • Always appreciate updated and current videos on the process, even if I can't mimic on Linux.

    Something that has always frustrated me about the editing process is that every program has its own unique features

    Some you get wavlets

    Some you get stacking and aligning

    Some you get level adjustments and curves

    All while most of the programs are deprecated and/or abandonware

    I think currently I have Registax, Auto Stakkar, Siril, PiPP, and Gimp installed for processing just because some programs perform features better than others.

  • My Steam Deck is aging -- but I'm not letting it go
  • Same sentiment - I've been looking at some alternatives like the Legion Go or Asus's variant and putting SteamOS on it - but I'd really rather stick with Valve's own hardware if possible.

  • What games did you get down with over the holiday weekend?
  • Looks interesting - how is the game loop since it's a rogue-like? Tedious, or does it feel pretty rewarding?

  • Let's cute up our day.
  • 🚨🚨Buns🚨🚨

  • Android 16's new 90:10 split-screen is a game-changer for multitasking
  • I'm not sure they're really comparable.

    That phones 2nd display was: 1040x160 pixels

    The main display was: 2560x1440

    ~4%

    The 2nd display also couldn't display another app, but was limited to:

    • Quick Tools (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
    • App shortcuts (specific apps)
    • Recent apps
    • Quick contacts
    • Music controls
    • Signature (By default your name)
    • Upcoming plans

    And didn't allow inline replies or 'normal' notification features (at that time it was Android 7).

    The one perk that phone did have was that the 2nd display could be on while the main screen was off.

  • Please be patient
  • Later:

  • Is andor still worth watching if I've never seen anything else Star Wars?
  • You definitely can - might not hurt to have a little Star Wars knowledge prior to watching it, but it's a good standalone.

    If you do watch Andor (and enjoy it), you should check out Rogue One afterwards as the two very much tie together and have a similar 'vibe'.

    The only 'downside' of having Andor (and Rogue One if you watch it) be your only exposure to Star Wars is that the rest of the media is very different and might not be as enjoyable.

  • This is the episode that really made me realize that the show wasn't just a comedy sci-fi spoof, that McFarlane was actually going to try and tackle moral issues.

    Definitely an upsetting episode to me. Still feel bad for Topa.

  • Thanks for sharing the review!

    Did you end up using eBay to buy it or another site? I've only seen a few listed, and the prices vary pretty severely.

    Bummer about the fingerprint sensor location - but luckily not a huge deal. Overall it seems like a decent enough phone if you want a keyboard.

    [Linux] Possible Steam Fix for Lagging Mouse / Game Freezing

    Seems that the most recent Steam upgrade has caused some Linux user's game to lag after ~30 minutes. Restarting fixes the issue

    However, there are other fixes that may eliminate the need to restart like adding to the launch arguments of the game:

    What has been your favorite or most memorable GW2 moment?

    Could be an expansion release, guild drama, random encounter, etc.

    Mine would be when I was a newer player doing a Twilight Arbor dungeon run with veterans and I enabled "Plant Mode".

    I was the classic Longbow ranger with Stalker who had no idea wtf was going on. We got to the wardens on Leurent's path (up) and it was not going well, I kept going down. The others in my party kept reviving me but in doing so were downed and then killed. The champ probably had about 2% health left when I was the last one standing and I am sweating IRL - mainly nervous that I'm going to get chewed out by the other party members if I can't finish the fight.

    One of the party members types "Just spam all your buttons!" so I start clicking anything and everything (yes, was a mouse ability clicker back then... how times have changed).

    I don't think I had ever used my elite at that point, mainly because I didn't understand it. I just knew it said something about plants. Ended up clicking Take Root and was instantly felt dread. My character was locked down and I couldn't move as I became enshrouded with plant matter.

    As if to further cement the absolute embarrassment that was washing over me, the same party member goes "Plant mode?!".

    I seriously considered alt+F4'ing to hide from my shame - only to realize that I wasn't taking any damage anymore... And that there were seed turrets spawning all over as if to save me. They started attacking the Champ and it ticked down another % or so - it was so close to dying!

    Then my protective plant shroud disappeared and I was running again, desperately trying to live. However, I was still so low from before I had initially cast the elite that I was quickly downed. Instantly I spammed "Lick Wounds" (As many downs in the open world had taught me).

    As I inched closer to death another party members says "OMG It's so close". Fractions of a second before I was about to die my pet starts reviving me - and it happens. One of the slow arching shots of the plant mortar near me lands the final blow on the champion and I revive - I was absolutely stunned.

    My party was absolutely ecstatic and kept typing things like "Plant mode ftw" and "Salad mvp". In that moment I felt like I was a seasoned GW2 player just like the rest.

    Definitely died to the root attack from the nightmare tree just moments after that though.

    S7:E26 - Meanwhile | Moon-Balloon making sound

    This might sound insane... but on a rewatch of S7 E26 near the beginning I swear I hear the 'jumping pixar lamp sound'.

    This happens when Fry and Leela are entering the carnival and Fry has a balloon made of Leela. The carnival personal making the balloon I swear is the noise of the Pixar lamp jumping.

    My name is Matt. I enjoy helping people with technology related issues. I also like adorable animals.

    > O! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.
