  1. Be sure to set number of players to zero first.
  2. I don't usually get dressed up for Halloween. One year, however, I had a trick-or-treater tell me, "Nice costume!". I was wearing jeans and a polo shirt. I figured he thought the handlebar was a costume, and not real.
  3. I attended elementary school in Central Florida with his kids back in the 70s/early 80s, and he was an active member of our church parish. I remember seeing him frequently at church, and at events, and he was always approachable and friendly. RIP to a family man, and an NFL great
  4. From https://www.gop.gov/conference-rules-of-the-118th-congress/ Trump isn't eligible by the Republican Party's own rules to be Speaker of the House. Of course, Republicans haven't been known for following rules lately.
  5. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: This was recently released on 4K Blu-ray, and the results are gorgeous. This is a movie that greatly benefits from HDR color, with certain elements bright and sharp, and the contrasting darkness and shadows look wonderful, without some of the artifacting on earlier releases. It also has an excellent sound mix, which is in DTS Master Audio 7.1. It's presented in its correct aspect ratio of 1.66:1, so the image is the closest to what I saw in the theater almost 30 years ago. It's well worth the upgrade. (4K UHD Blu-ray)
  6. If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don't be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice.
  7. In case you wanted to see Toyah and her husband, Robert Fripp play a Metalica song.
  8. The first defendant has flipped in the Georgia election case. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-co-defendant-pleads-guilty-georgia-election-case-rcna118140
  9. I've just mailed back the last set of discs from the Netflix DVD service, I'm expecting two discs to be sent to me sometime next week, and I might receive up to 10 discs sent on September 29th, the last day that they are shipping them. None of the discs need to be returned, and I'm guessing that the bonus discs is a way of getting rid of a huge chunk of their library. Their reason for the "Final Season" was because it's becoming harder to source and maintain their discs, and the number of subscribers has dropped substantially in recent years. Unfortunately, the promise of streaming services having a large back catalog is largely fallen by the wayside, and the Netflix DVD service was one way to view some of the older movies from before the 1990s.
  10. They're rapidly progressing along the WotC roadmap. They're now at the "let's offer new terms that still violate our previous promises, but trust us not to go back on our word" stage. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/09/unity-exec-tells-ars-hes-on-a-mission-to-earn-back-developer-trust/
  11. I'm pretty sure that these are from MIDI files, so it would be dependent on the playback devices. Some higher-end sound cards had synthesizers built-in, but it was also possible to route the sound to connected instruments (usually sampling keyboards).
  12. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus - Agent Kay
  13. Got one. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/06/10/asia/rubber-duck-deflated-hong-kong-intl/index.html
  14. It's a headcount thing. You can use the person handing out orders in-store to fill the drinks, and you don't need to schedule someone for regular cleaning/restocking of the customer-accessible fountain drink area.
  15. Just cut out unnecessary programs, like science, foreign languages, or fine arts.
