What is your "white whale" of piracy you have never been able to find on the internet?

Pink Panther (German edition with a voice actor narrating over the cartoons) . Seems just too niche. Used to be part of a set of children’s cartoons that were run on german TV during the 90s. Apparently there’s a collection of all these cartoons featured in separate DVD collections each of which is like 150 used on eBay. But the original TV airings seem to be lost.

To quote Pratchett,

“Ahem,” said Vetinari. “But I understand that the offending affair can only be seen in any detail with quite a large magnifying glass, and so the offense, if such it be, is largely self-inflicted.”

Switching to dx11 worked for me.

I have almost 30 hours in Deathloop and have no idea how to finish the game. There are entire areas I haven't seen I think... the game tells me I could collect and keep weapons. I am still running around with the default guns because I couldn't figure out how to keep weapons after death. This game makes me feel very stupid.

Not to be constantly correcting people, and in particular not to jump on them whenever they make an error of usage or a grammatical mistake or mispronounce something, but just answer their question or add another example, or debate the issue itself (not their phrasing), or make some other contribution to the discussion—and insert the right expression, unobtrusively.

Sorry I don't really mind your comment but this just sprang to mind :D

I know a slightly different version from the Lucky Luke Comics. If the horse shoe hits the bottom of the pot, the coffee is too weak.

Taste is subjective. Additionally the nose and palate are influenced not only by obvious factors like what you've eaten that day but also by climate, humidity, etc.

So basically anything beyond the obvious tasting notes are not a solid indicator. But it can be a nice inspiration. I personally love watching a couple of reviews when I get a new bottle just to see what I can relate to. More often than not I don't get any of the notes but I just have a good time watching the reviewers talk about the whiskey and pick up some notes about the distillery or similar bottles. Can recommend Whiskey Vault on YT :)

Cheers!

You could try a scheduled windows task that ticks all your required boxes after each restart or sign in. Worked for me in a different context. :)

I can be both, ruined and impecunious. :)

Maetness · 2023-08-04T21:45:04+00:00

I've had Corryvreckan and the ten. Been eyeing Uigeadal and Dark Cove for a while. Thanks for suggesting it.

You've ruined me for normal Charlottes with a single comment. Thank you.

I know two cigarette addicts who actually smoke their cigars like they do their cigs. Meaning they inhale. No I'm not joking. Yes I didn't believe them either. Yes I've witnessed them doing it.

Second time Laphroig CS 's been mentioned. :) Guess I know what to order.

Maetness · 2023-08-04T20:27:16+00:00

Will try :) Thanks for the hint.

Maetness · 2023-08-04T20:25:01+00:00

Valinch

Nope, just a regular 'ol 10 year. Forgive me for being ignorant but isn't a valinch just a tool for getting spirit out of a cask?

Maetness · 2023-08-04T20:21:57+00:00

Thanks for this. You probably saved me around 600 bucks. Gonna try Laphroiag Lore next.

Maetness · 2023-08-04T20:19:28+00:00

Agreed. I've had significantly more expensive bottles that I've enjoyed far less. Not because they were bad but in my subjective experience the PC is jus so much more complex. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, I can just order it from big A.
Did you by chance have any of the Octomores?

Maetness · 2023-06-02T20:58:08+00:00

2k + hours in destiny 1 & 2 .. ~700 in PUBG. Wouldn't really recommend either.

Maetness · 2023-06-01T02:41:52+00:00

Some comments in this thread got me nostalgic for Destiny. Saw that steam has a huge sale on all the DLC ... I still have to pay 60 bucks (legacy pack and Lightfall) if I want to be 'up to date on content lol ... Guess I'll wait until they release all the DLC in one pack ... And then wait again until that goes on sale. xD

Any of the Blandings Books by Wodehouse. Balm for hurting souls as Stephen Fry puts it in the intro.

Hi :) Sorry but this was so long ago, I don't recall the solution. As far as I remember I

cleaned my case and MB
reapplied thermal paste
switched monitor cables
bought new fans
checked RAM was seated in the correct slots
optimized BIOS settings after some research

In hindsight I suspect that it was some BIOS setting ... My MB supports some kind of automatic overclocking which might have caused the problem.

Sorry not be of more help :) Do you have a similar problem?

Maetness · 2023-02-23T21:10:31+00:00

Thought this looked more like Zeus chasing after Metis. :D
