    Path of Exile

    Yeah. I'm not a big computer person. I did delete all the setting files and reinstalled. Same thing. The odd thing to me is there is a setting in the text file of the settings "notch type =" I would change it game to default, exit out and the settings file would show 0. Go back in game and...

    I had it until just recently. I reinstalled and nothing. So I guess that is the end of the line for that for me. It really helped being colorblind.

    The pattern that you can turn and off the surrounds sockets for color blind people. Like one color is 3 things in a radiating pattern. It was added to help color blind people. The setting is still in game for default (regular sockets), small, and large. In the settnigs text file each change...

    My dad it doesn't matter where he traveled or saw. He could have seen the best thing in the world, it comes down to some place he ate that had great whatever. His boss once told me he would travel 200 miles for a free hamburger. Pretty much. How he is not 300 pounds amazes me.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Not really jimmied, just the way the federal government works. When you get an amatuer radio license it's good for 10 years. So it "expires" in 10 years, but not really. You get a 2 year grace period that you are sitll listed as licensed if someone looks up your callsign. They did this because...

    I know I am odd man out. It was interesting to see someone play EQ on stream with full spell effects. I never had th at on back in the day. Not full on, especially during a raid and of course now it's all solo. Was interesting to me. It almost made EQ look not so dated, almost.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Using a non digital camera in film astrophotography was actually the easy part. The part that took the time and such was the mount and the telescope. You focused the telescope after you learned how to make sure you were actually taking a pic over time of something you really couldn't see with...

    Got my bill for an ambulance ride to the ER in the mail today. This was the week before July 4th. I was at my parents house and my girlfriend was visiting her brother who lives an hour away. In the poorest state in the union they came and picked me up, hauled me in the ambulance on a stretcher...

    It was either that or a polaroid back in the day. Kids now days have it easy. You also most likely used a reflector telescope. Slow refractors that were ED Enhanced Low Dispertion of light were like the price of a house or more (flourite scopes were in the NASA price range) and even expensive...

    I no longer do it. That was before digital, before a lot of goto mounts. You found your target and use a guide scope adjacent to your main scope with a lighted crosshair you looked through and opened the shutter (OM-1 ollympus camera would stay open manually) and self guided your mount to keep...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    When I sold auto parts we would have a shitload of belts without packaging but only the part number on the belt. We had a deal that you placed the belt on and it slid and and gave the exact length. Long shot but some hardware stores have one, only handy if you know the length you need.

    All that crap and the FCC and the AARL (amatuer radio league that does the FCC stuff for a fee) sent me an email this morning on a Saturday at 9am that they fixed the problem effective today. Thanks, my license was set to expire today. Good now till 2034. Had problems when I first got the...

    I measured for a replacement large exhaust duct at an electric arc furnace at a steel mill. Guy told me not to let the tape measure stay against it too long or it would warp/melt.

    Dealing with the federal government/FCC. My license is now listed as expired but active which makes zero sense. I contacted the FCC and they said my address was not valid. I sent them a scan of my license (which they no longer provide) that they sent years ago and I received with the address...

    I have a well and a softener at the well house. When I first moved here in the middle of nowhere the people who built the house had dug up a lot of large chunks of iron and had them spread around, some the size of a car. But otherwise it's sand. But with the softener it's pretty good. Better...

    I haven't played EQ in 20 years or so. Had a FoH group for a short time back then. Now way back in the day one day there was a patch and as a ranger I could shoot my bow across the zone and get no aggro. I killed Sont (dragon) kinda fuzzy on names of zones from the zone in solo with no aggro...

    Yeah that is him, he menitoned it in the few minutes I watched. The one thing I learned is if you swim backwards your skill doesn't go up. He was trying for 50 in OOT and only swim skill he started with. No idea why or how that info would be useful.

    I watched a few minutes on stream just to see how it looked. Someone streaming was a challange runner and they were doing ocean of rears alone to 50 in the zone. They were hiding and moving all the small boats. No idea how they planned on going and getting new spells. I don't know how it...

    Anyone ever use a reverse connect motherboard? My case will work with those and I'm at the point of starting that build. I'm just curious if the reverse connect/stealth motherboards make that big of a difference. I'm most likely not going to go with that but was just curious.

    My dad went to the doctor today. I asked him how it went. Said the doctor said he was doing good for his age. He's 85, being alive is kinda good for his age. I asked mom and apparently I am the only one that will never get real old. Dad is 85, mom is 83. My grandmother lived to 100. My moms...

    No doubt they will go in the opposite direction too far. The US for a long time built fire towers to watch and report all fires and fight them and on top of that fire was "bad" and we stopped presribed fires. Then it didn't do prescribed fires in a lot of places because people who lived close to...

    Weather

    Extreme heat warning has officially lost all meaning. It's 89 and 55% humidity. For this time of the year that's a cold front. If the storm keeps coming and get rain it will be even cooler. Last week it was 103 but now 89 is extreme heat. Also 55% humidity this time of the year is not bad at all.

    Should be beyond obvious. Don't drive into any water. Happens all the time people that have lived their all their life and think they can cross moving water and bam sweapt away in their car. So far looks worse than last years "100 year flood".
