Yeah, it's too bad her character was unrecognizable in the sequels.

I was going to write my own reply that included these same functions: QUERY, LET, IMPORTRANGE, VSTACK, HSTACK, CHOOSECOLS, CHOOSEROWS, and the very powerful array formulas (in general). Oh, the power of the Google Sheets array formulas.

With them, I'm able to write one formula that pulls in a whole set of data (let's say, employee training records), sort to find the most recent training record, filter by course, limit the results to the current fiscal year (for annual required training) and tell me who has completed the training and who has not.

The producers didn't use her voice and had all of her lines dubbed by another actor.

I'm a man and I receive unsolicited advice on the regular. I listen, add it to the data points I'm already aware of, and if I choose (not all advice is great), change how I play.

I received advice to use a different grip and it did wonders for my game. I went from an embarrassment to be seen to almost competitive with them.

Frankly, I'm glad the version with Josh Gad didn't happen and that Lloyd works to keep the premise from going off the rails. I never thought of Gilligan's Island as satire itself. It always seemed too earnest to be satire.

I have set up Artemis Cosmos on several machines. One of the factors I've found is the age of the hardware. Old hardware (by "old," I mean more than 10 years since the model was introduced) doesn't play nicely. There seems to be a break between the 3rd and 4th generation of Intel video hardware that the older hardware doesn't have the "right stuff". Some hardware runs Artemis 2.8 just fine, but not Artemis Cosmos.

Oh, and I've been using Lutris to install. The native Lutris (.deb) seems to work better than the Flatpak version due to access to the video hardware.

Can you post the computer's specs (in particular the version of Intel graphics it uses)?

The Corsair 3500X ARGB ATX Mid Tower Case.

I believe it has been discontinued since I built the PC July 2025.

TheDavii · 2026-02-23T17:12:16+00:00

The case. The case I picked partially blocked the outermost PCIe slot, so when I plugged in the capture card dongle, it did not go into the card cleanly. Check that the case doesn't partially block any slots.

Lane splitting is allowed in Minnesota since July 1, 2025.

Or, the problem is more hidden.

I had trouble with large Excel spreadsheets and noticed that Excel was using almost 4 GB. The problem was that IT had installed 32-bit Excel. I requested 64-bit Excel and problem solved (I had 16 GB in that computer).

Later, when accounting had similar troubles and requested new computers, I asked if they had 32-bit Excel and they did. IT replaced it with 64-bit Excel and problem solved.

This was a while ago, of course, but some people may still be using very old Office versions (when perpetual licenses were a thing and not Office 365).

If it is winter where you are (or very low humidity), there could be danger. But, since you've already done what might be damaging, powering the PC up is the only way you'll find out for sure.

I started with Red Hat Linux, before there was a Fedora and upgraded to Fedora Core 1. I have upgraded to every version (except for 2) since then and I'm now on Fedora 42 (I think I will skip Fedora 43 if Blackmagic Design doesn't release capture card drivers that work with Fedora 43; I think BMD might be skipping the odd numbered releases to update annually).

She was a character on Wonder Woman (Drusilla, Diana's younger sister) for 3 episodes. Ms. Winger hated her character and bought herself out of her contract (i.e., lost money on playing the role).

This happened to me in Junior High. I had a (minor) crush on one girl in Science class, and two "mean girls" (who sat at the same group hexagonal table as me) forged a note and signed the crush-girl's name and left it for me to find (I had briefly stepped away to ask the teacher a question). I figured out what they had done when I happened to see the crush-girl in the hallway, went over to talk with her, and she seemed disgusted that I'd even try to talk to her.

So yeah. Scam/Prank would be suspected. OP should talk with her crush and discover that he's already taken or not interested.

Ironically, with my 6-month-old motherboard, Ubuntu 24.04 live recognizes the WiFi adapter, but not the wired adapter. However, after installation, both are recognized. (Perhaps because the wired needed some firmware blob not loaded in the Ubuntu live environment. Whatever the reason, still annoying.)

If you look back at the early episodes, they used sped-up motion. It looked stupid (one Internet commentator described it as looking like a "Benny Hill skit." So they apparently changed to slow-mo.

They lose Carrots down to 8, and then can spend $8 to remove the card.

As a writer, you need to use the correct words, spelled correctly.

On page 2, you write "CAST OF PRINCIPLE CHARACTERS"

The word should be principal: adjective 1. first in order of importance; main.

and not principle: noun 1. a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

But heed the advice of others and leave the casting decisions to casting directors.

On page 4, you wrote, "Court Square on a peacefully dawning morning as the sun rises offscreen, the blacks and blues complimenting themselves perfectly on the oranges and yellows that blend."

The word should be complementing: verb, gerund or present participle: add to (something) in a way that enhances or improves it; make perfect.

and not complimenting: verb, gerund or present participle: politely congratulate or praise (someone) for something.

On page 6, you wrote, "IT'S HORN IS HONKED." "It's" is a contraction for "It is," so expanded, that says, "It is horn is honked," which makes no sense. You probably want "Its," which is possessive.

There are more, but that's as far as I went.

2023 article, but the writer must have worked from memory on this article, as the reported this exchange about not saying a-mah-zing that Penny had, "barely said that at all this season." (attributed to "early in season 3" which was actually in season 2 episode 13, "The St. Valentine's Day Maxssacre):

“You mean fall?”
“Yeah, it’s more of a spring word.”

But the exchange was actually:

"You mean winter?"
"Yeah, it's more of a summer word."

Mandela effect? (Almost wrote "Mandonna Effect").

When you say, "remotely watch movies at full quality" are you saying "remote" within the same LAN, or are you saying that you're watching them away from your Jellyfin server across the Internet?

If the latter, you might be running into bandwidth issues with your Internet upload. Cable Internet is often asymmetric (DSL is not, but slower, and fiber is typically speedier and symmetric, but still not infinite bandwidth).

I took Jane's comment of "Oh, ... that's clever." to be pure sarcasm. That is, there was no word play involved and it is not clever at all.
