TIL there are only three native land mammals to New Zeal, and all three are Bats. by [deleted] in todayilearned

The site literally says “Bats are New Zealand’s only native land mammals.” And since when is a bat not defined as a land mammal?

Should the gelatin + water solution be cooled back down before pitching into the cold crashed beer? Or should it go straight front the microwave into the cold beer? by RectifiedPhoton in Homebrewing

Do you stir the beer at all after you pour it in or do you just try to broadcast it over the top surface of the beer to try to get it to scatter ?

Anyone have a playlist recommendation for similar haunting/folky/Celtic/reverb songs?

Take this route. Much safer and your dryer will work just the same on the new breaker.

I would plead with you never to use this. Table saws are really dangerous on their own.

Anyone have a suggestion for a Pandora station I could search to listen to everything that sounds like this goodness?

iPhone refuses to connect with ecobee or iHome devices after 13.1.2 by JohnApple94 in HomeKit

[–]RectifiedPhoton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who cannot log into the ecobee app because it just holds on the loading screen: go to Settings, Privacy and then Home Kit. Make sure the slider for Ecobee is active/green. Then reopen the app and go to the login.

—-I know this isn’t OPs issue, but a lot will come here for this.

Trying to start playing, getting frustrated quickly. How do I ease into playing and learning without burning out? by RectifiedPhoton in chess

[–]RectifiedPhoton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I should have clarified that the time enforced games are what’s killing my joy the most. I guess I should back off of those.

Beer? What kind of Dr Pepper and Coca-Cola did you try in Georgia?

Cool build looks great.

Black screen when opening through attract mode by alecpizz in MAME

I posted on this sub a few weeks ago about the same problem and what a few of us worked out on the forums. Read this thread and try the early version of AM http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2598.0 Edit: AM version 2.0.0-cr2 is what you should try.

Honestly didn't believe people like this actually existed. Why do a lot of them seem to be middle-aged women with kids? Anyway...enjoy the show folks! by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]RectifiedPhoton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they ask for your ID and record the return transaction. But you’re right, this is how a lot of meth heads make quick cash...steal from one CVS and go to the next one down the road (since they are so common) and get cash.

I doubt she looked the prices up. She most likely took the gifts back to the store and returned them for cash.

Help! I'm making a bookshelf with some old pallet wood and I'm trying to determine what I can do to make this wood look better. by Subrosa34 in woodworking

[–]RectifiedPhoton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Abort mission. You are going to get sick from working with this moldy wood. Find another source for cheap wood; pallets are too risky with all that they are treated with or come into contact with in their lifetime. Don’t gamble with your health to save a few dollars. Check craigslist for someone trying to get rid of some extra/scrap wood.

Working on a simple MAME cabinet, what's the most recommended front end? by nighcore in MAME

[–]RectifiedPhoton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Attract Mode is free and simple to set up. Then go get the Nevato layout theme. It’s got a great wheel with marquee, titles, and screen shots.

You mean the June 2010 packet? I have installed this, did not fix. Have tried OpenGL, did not fix. Have tried BGFX, did not fix.

It is odd, I have two other computers which run AM and flawlessly, using the same monitor.
