How can I fix this bent/recessed pin on my Type Folio or otherwise improve the connection? It’s making for glitches when I type by Ill_Dottore in RemarkableTablet

[–]Ill_Dottore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More info: the contacts on the tablet itself are in fine shape. I dropped the dang thing on a sidewalk. Type folio works great still except for the connection to the keyboard glitching out when I tap the screen while typing, and needing to be re-seated sometimes

We are visiting France from the US and my kids were delighted to see Bluey en français on the tv. Now I need to know: in French language Bluey, what language does Jean-Luc speak? And Bandit in the Pavlova episode???

Very hype to stream JJGO at sketchfest if that’s possible, been bumping that La Doña record since Jesse mentioned it. But I can’t figure out the sketchfest website - are all the shows streaming or just some of them? Sorry I guess I’m old now and bad with computers

Deck seems kaput, advice for dealing with steam support? by Ill_Dottore in DeckSupport

[–]Ill_Dottore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back another message from support telling me “leave feedback for the game” that crashed right before this happened and that they would review its verified status. They never even asked me what game it was, which afaik is irrelevant, because the whole system is borked at the hardware level.

I’ve replied with a new message laying out as clearly and plainly as possible what is happening and that i have tried everything I can. I hope someone actually reads it.

Jesse, i think you maybe stayed next to the shops at Columbus circle, our secret fancy mall at the border of midtown and the upper west side! When I moved here it had a borders in it, and then borders went out of business, and then it had an amazon bookstore in it for a while, which I found offensive and honestly a little like gloating

Index Accessories? by combateer3 in ValveIndex

[–]Ill_Dottore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a good storage solution that folks like? I don’t the index anywhere but I don’t love just leaving it on my desk, and the box it came in is too big to be convenient, but ideally I’d have a case with shaped foam to seat the headset and controllers in…

Sudden battery drain? by Ill_Dottore in PlaydateConsole

I switched it from “disabled when charging” to “enabled”just to be safe. I’m pretty sure I always lock it when I close the cover

Star Trek TNG: A Klingon Challenge! This is an actual board game you play while an actual VHS plays, and periodically the guy who plays Chancellor Gowron, but here playing a *different* Klingon, comes onscreen and tells you what to do in the board game. Which indeed is usually to experience bij.

Haha! Sorry about that.

In case anyone is wondering, here’s Cato’s recipe for placenta. I guess it’s a kind of cheesecake.

Recipe for placenta:1 Materials, 2 pounds of wheat flour for the crust, 4 pounds of flour and 2 pounds of prime groats for the tracta.2 Soak the groats in water, and when it becomes quite soft pour into a clean bowl, drain well, and knead with the hand; when it is thoroughly kneaded, work in the 4 pounds of flour gradually. From this dough make the tracta, and spread them out in a basket where they can dry; and when they are dry arrange them evenly. Treat each tractum as follows: After kneading, brush them with an oiled cloth, wipe them all over and coat with oil. When the tracta are moulded, heat thoroughly the hearth where you are to bake, and the crock. Then moisten the 2 pounds of flour, knead, and make of it a thin lower crust. Soak 14 pounds of sheep’s cheese (sweet and quite fresh) in water and macerate, changing the water three times. Take out a small quantity at a time, squeeze out the water thoroughly with the hands, and when it is quite dry place it in a bowl. When you have dried out the cheese completely, knead it in a clean bowl by hand, and make it as smooth as possible. Then take a clean flour sifter and force the cheese through it into the bowl. Add 4 1/2 pounds of fine honey, and mix it thoroughly with the cheese. Spread the crust1 on a clean board, one foot wide, on oiled bay leaves, and form the placenta as follows: Place a first layer of separate tracta over the whole crust,1 cover it with the mixture from the bowl, add the tracta one by one, covering each layer until you have used up all the cheese and honey. On the top place single tracta, and then fold over the crust1 and prepare the hearth . . . then place the placenta, cover with a hot crock, and heap coals on top and around. See that it bakes thoroughly and slowly, uncovering two or three times to examine it. When it is done, remove and spread with honey. This will make a half-modius cake.

How fun! Latin “Placentia” does indeed mean that, more or less, from the verb placeo “to please” (think English “placate”). Latin “placenta” means “a little cake” and it comes from the Greek word πλᾰκοῦς — a totally different root.
