Maximum temperatures are important but might not be representative. Better to use like an upper quartile or something rather than basing everything on a maximum.

Oh mah gowsh! I won the freeking lotto guys! I won R53 bucks! I cam almost buy a burger at McDonald's! If you win a few more times, it might cover the cost of the tickets. :p I put my paste on neatly! photo_2024-04-10_19-38-49.jpg Now I'm wondering how anyone else would check their temperatures if ...

I replaced my CPU's thermal paste because it is about five or six years old and runs so hot. When I opened everything up, I realised the CPU cooler was probably never properly attached (my fault). So... I think it spent a couple years with inadequate cooling. On the plus side, the average running te...

A totally normal thing to do. :p

There's nothing you could have done. It's nice to see it's all back up successfully now.

The non-default themes were added as an option but were never fully supported.

No and no. Mostly because I'm too lazy with cooking and partly because some ingredients are very difficult to find. I've only ever seen seitan in a restaurant.

If I recall correctly, the time I did make pizza for you was that time I left it in the warmer and it got way too dry before people could eat it. Hardly the best pizza I ever made.

I guess I've been outed already.

Most forums got very quiet. Even many chat groups on different platforms. Personally, I'm not a fan of trying to entice people with gimmicks. It should be there for people to communicate. One can lure people in with gimmicks and things, like much of social media does, but I don't think that is healt...

Unfortunately not, to my knowledge. Ivic was the driving force behind that, so when he passed away, it stopped.

Hogwarts Legacy sounded interesting but it's just way too expensive. I can't really justify that much on a game.

I just finished Blasphemous and now I've moved on to Lapin. It's got cute bunnies.

Calesthenics. Body weight training. I could probably do more but I think I'm slowly making progress and it's the sort of thing that does take a few years to master, especially since I was basically doing no exercise for many, many years. But, perhaps an impossible, this is what the end result could ...

Just finished some exercise! And I saw that I've only missed my Monday exercise once since November! The other days are a bit all over the place though.

That's just too sad. :'(

Had the first meeting with my DnD group! We just chatted about things and setting up. I was the only one who had actually fully made a character. (The others haven't even played RPGs like Elder Scrolls!) Our DM said they were thinking we could all have special features for our character. Now how can...

Happy new year!

Merry Christmas! (In a purely cultural sense with no religious implication.)

Probably just Cape Town, yes.

Gonna spend any time in GP? Afraid I've got no plans to go there. Long way to travel and I've got no family there. Unlikely to even go to the Eastern Cape where I do have some family. I suppose I do have a cousin in Bloemfontein but when I had car trouble there, he just put me in touch with a mecha...

Yup. Mixed feelings because happy to see the family again and it's a nice change of pace. Not happy with all the things, like loadshedding, that made me want to leave in the first place.

Almost time for me to head to the airport.

Oh. I need to go back to finish Blacktail still but I've spent some time on Hollow Knight. There's still things that could be done though. x.x

It's not music but it's an important topic to listen to.

I'm watching the Antinatalist Advocacy Conference: https://antinatalistadvocacy.org/projects/aac-2023
It's just three talks today and another three tomorrow.

I remember seeing a photo of the firearm applications room or something. Just boxes and stacks of paper covering everything with no apparent organisation.
