Watched the Atomic Cafe as well – the eclectric chair segment didn’t appear to have much relevance.
Missed the bar of soap action – is it towards the end?
The government would want to actually consider issuing Bert the Turtle hazmats for likely affected populations – if nothing but for a morale boost!

There’s a good list of energy storage power plants here.
Cross linking on The Atomic Cafe to Wikipedia talk regarding the appearance and location of the original cafe.

The_Atomic_Cafe movie courtesy of Youtube has the above shot of the vertical sign here, which appear similar to the sign on the Downtown Deco The Atomic Cafe DD56 Hydrocal Kit…[Read more]

Forgive the quality of Jo Mapes as seen on TV’s Greatest Game Shows of the 50s’ and 60’s

Dang it, Homer and Jethro do it with a bit more fi:

They’re a lot of fun too – here’s “A Screwball’s Love Song”:

Okay, I updated the Meson PR with the updates to the include paths. Should be ready for testing now if you want to give it a whirl. 🙂

Soap on a rope for extra convenience? Atomic Cafe at YouTube is on the list!
Mum also wanted Brief Encounter at IA, recommended, especially for Angela Lansbury’s debut and Rachmaninoff’s score.
Have you seen No Country for Old Men? Will have to rescreen it as some details were missed – although being a Cormac McCarthy construct, there is no hope…[Read more]

Tron is great. Haven’t seen it in a while, though. Looks like the 4k version is hard to find. Supposedly, a Steelbook was released on Amazon two weeks ago but the listing says it’s unavailable and that they don’t know if it’ll be in. The regular 1080p version is easy to get, however. See something similar with a lot of Disney films.

Gaslight…[Read more]

Merged that in this morning and started on the include paths. 🙂

Ultimately, the pragmas will need investigating to see if they’re needed. Some disable warnings, which can likely be removed. It would be better to fix the issues in those cases instead of suppressing the problems

On August 14, 2025 at 5:30 pm Spastic Hamburger said 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…

As much as I like Redshirts, it’s probably Starter Villain. While it’s a James Bond parody on the surface, it runs much deeper than that.

It may be, too, that he’s referring to the trend in school where instructors insist that you over analyze works and everyone comes up with something totally different. He’s got some other good quotes,…[Read more]

What’s your favourite Scalzi title? Here’s a quote attributed from Scalzi:

I am not responsible for actions of the imaginary version of me you have inside your head,

Sounds like a retort in haste – he’ll probably deny ownership. The version template of Scalzi in his own mind must have a set of immutable characteristics translatable to the mind of…[Read more]

The trick is getting the opportunity to watch it 😛

Going to try and watch it today 🙂

Yep, Tubi is a weird place. It’s a gold mine if you love B-movies but quality films do sneak in from time to time. 😛

They’ve also got a decent selection of classics.

Speaking of, it’s been years since I watched the Benny Hill Show. Kind of been in the mood…[Read more]

Okay, got the pull request up for the removal of legacy systems: https://github.com/Walrus-Tech/MWEdit/pull/34

Also took the liberty to modernize the syntax of the conditional compilation statements. I kept the checks for Windows as those will be needed for Linux support anyways and they’ll help provide a note to check those blocks (not all…[Read more]

I’ll be pushing up a new PR in the next day or so for removing legacy code. This will need a brief review before merge just to make sure it all looks good. 🙂

Just to note: it’ll need to be merged before additional edits can be made on account of how extensive the changes are and I don’t like dealing with merge conflicts if I can help it.

Once…[Read more]

It’s already here. 🙂
So watched Distant Cousins on Tubi, terrible and left it on autoplay. Up came The Night Caller, then The Perfect Tenant followed by 100 feet. All terrible, and the feeling that the production crew in all these films were escapees from some institution for the criminally insane, (as was the terminology then). Turns out that…[Read more]

And updated again to fix some file names that I had mistyped. Once we get the build script tested, it’ll allow us to do more with restructuring the project 🙂

Haven’t watched The Atomic Cafe yet but I did catch Space Mutiny yesterday. It was a lot of fun! Terrible acting, high-speed bumper car chases, laser pistols that all sound different even though they’re all the same model…. 😀

Looks like I can get Creature from the Black Lagoon until the end of the month so I may need to give it another watch.…[Read more]

I miss CLYDE! Only saw a little bit of it at the time. I wonder if there’s a CLYDE figurine somewhere…

Anyways! Depending on the design, it may be possible to run a snake through the works to clean things out. Would need to see it in person, though. From the research I did, it doesn’t appear that Florida has any yet 🙁

Yeah, Crichton’s works…[Read more]

Okay, build script has been updated again. I’ll keep updating it as I find things or things that come up during testing but it’s once again ready for a whirl 🙂

Clog? Well then, a self cleaning unit, else a plugin or daisy chained robot with a vac and broom – wearing a toque blanche of course. 🙂
Something like Clyde?

Just as our Admirable Crichton had seen on the final evolution of Mediasaurus, only the true visioneer would ever conceive of Social Mediasaurus, and we hope his estate has filed a patent…[Read more]
