    Ahem "Informative Video" tee hee

    There are things more infectious and deadly than Corona. Just imagine being quarantined with small children and this plays... Alternative instructions... Burn with fire, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Shoot the looters, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Horde some TP... nope, not doing it, not with that...

    Ahem "Informative Video" tee hee

    Stay safe, and don't be the idiots ignoring precautions, but humor is precious in difficult situations. It can and should have an appropriate place.

    COVID-19 community check-in and discussion

    So... I had this whole story drafted about what I wanted to cover but had yet to edit it to coherence and look up links. Then I listen to Shapiro and he covers the majority of it from... Trump's car comparison (which I explicitly had already written down days before Trump said it). To Trump...

    A warning against playing Stardew Valley - it's darker than you think!

    I It's a respectable idea as the word "selfishness" does show disdain on the creator's part. It's possible it could make people think about their actions and learn... or they could just click and forget like a million other things people ignore. Reddit comments run the gamut from jokes about...

    A warning against playing Stardew Valley - it's darker than you think!

    Skipped it because of the same sex marriage. Now I am doubly glad I did. They could have just had the kids grow up and move away yeesh.

    COD

    1. If part of your concern is the question "is violence sinful" both the Old and New Testament have violence called for by God at times. Violence, bereft of context is not sinful, it is the context, the why are you doing it, that matters. There is a difference between murder and killing to stop...

    Free Word Processing Software?

    Ah that explains it. I noticed it had been forked from OO and wondered if it was significantly different or better. I'll probably try Libre Office next time I need to process mah words (it will happen but not until I dig back into that project). Thanks Saudi and HCS, I was going to try OO until...

    TF2 Tuesday Feedback Poll

    No insult to those that do but many times I've seen Toj regulars playing on other servers on our game night. I do NOT expect anyone to play with us but it does beg the question is there anything we can do better? What do those other servers offer we do not? Also to those that do play with us how...

    Prayer for my Father's Friend

    Yes he is a lifelong Christian :) . He's returned home to rest but the cause of the incident is still unknown. No more communications as yet will post if more if more becomes known. EDIT: I don't want to bump the thread so I am putting this in as an edit. Basically nothing has happened since...

    Prayer for my Father's Friend

    While my Father may be friendly with everyone he has often told me of one particular best friend from childhood (akin to Tek + Elihu). While life has forced them apart he managed to maintain some contact to him. I don't know much but Dad recently learned that friend is going in for cardiac...

    The role of forums in 2020?

    Actual administration/moderation of the forums is ridiculously easy because there is nothing but spam and tumbleweeds to have oversight of XD. Spam deletion is a checkbox and button press (though Tek had to fix that recently, TY again Tek!). Even when the forums were hopping moderation wasn't...

    The role of forums in 2020?

    For my part I haven't the time to make either the forums OR Discord matter. Gerbil is not a chatty social butterfly. In my thoughts on a forum Discord plugin I have wondered if there isn't some type of reverse equivalent to get Discord traffic sent to the forums, or integrate them somehow, but...

    Recommendations for high-end headphones?

    I've really only had experience with the Sennheiser HD280PRO . I've used them for a couple decades but they've been replaced twice. Sennheiser was nice enough to send new ones after some complaints. Basically the sound quality is fine (though I am not an audiophile) but the, non- detachable...

    The role of forums in 2020?

    Discord is great for some things, but, so was Teamspeak, Mumble, and, IRC all at one point, and they all got replaced. How long before Discord does? Every time they died the forums provided freedom and a stable base. They keep us alive and consistent. I'm also not going to use Discord for any...

    Eye surgery for Cataracts

    Bird came home ok. He says the doctors were good and that it all went well. We are still waiting for his dialation to wear off and he needs to go tomorrow for evaluation but, tentatively and aside from everything being bright, he says he can already see better than before. We shall see tomorrow...

    His first surgery is tomorrow. He has to go back the next day for a post op evaluation and in all the trips he had to arrange rides as we have no one to drive him. That's just the first eye too he has to go back in a few weeks for the second surgery. Please pray it all goes well and that he...
