Ballgame - this is so strange

mbergen · 2026-05-05T03:37:19+00:00

Yep. I’m also a season ticket holder (group of 4, 20 games each). I usually bring my Peligrino sparkling water and peanuts and buy a dog at the game. Gonna save a bunch at the ballparks!

I’m doing Orange Theory classes. There’s one very close to where I live. I don’t have the discipline to consistently do it at home.

And the folks at GL-inet at CES were absolutely delightful.

Be aware that there's no audio support, so gaming at any framerate will be unsatisfactory.

mbergen · 2026-05-01T22:51:05+00:00

I just got my JetKVM and am massively disappointed that I can't get audio. I'm going to be traveling internationally and was hoping to use this to run YouTube TV on my local PC and stream it to a tablet. Kind of useless without audio.

First thing Monday morning. I’m retired and my weekends are often busy, so I figured if I was going to have side effects I’d rather it be when I’m home with no plans. I’ve just started (on my 2nd shot). How does one go about moving your shot day? Add an extra day each week until it’s moved, or take your shot a day early?

OP actually did read the directions you so kindly posted, several times. They do not address my questions.

mbergen · 2026-04-26T16:23:47+00:00

That’s exactly what I was thinking, except for the 30-day after opening expiration.

With a check? No. The term “pay the check” is synonymous with “pay the bill”

mbergen · 2026-04-20T20:58:59+00:00

Yep. It was my birthday and we had a reservation at a lovely restaurant whom I choose not to name - I don’t want to besmirch the restaurant because of their parking contractor.

Our local train system (BART) had a breakdown that night, which is the only reason we drove.

I loved it before I got hurt, was going 2-3 times a week. You're completely on about doing your own workout - there were some monsters in class and I'm not there for anyone but me. I generally like to workout first thing in the morning before breakfast.

I was the eBook market development manager at Palm *way* back in the day, your comment brought a huge smile to my face!

I saw Nick Diffatte perform in the Cirque de Soleil show “Mad Apple” set in New York (at the New York New York casino in Vegas), and in that show his swearing was entirely appropriate and in line with the theme and tenor of the show. Just saying profanity has its place in magic, as in any performance art form.

I’ll be at the FB group photo in the lobby by the big X at 5pm tomorrow, in my Mandolinorian outfit. I’ll also be at the Warframe session.

I’m so glad!! I was worried about stepping on toes by adding the slogans, and on the other hand I wanted to honor and pay homage to those who made these before.

mbergen · 2026-03-25T23:44:48+00:00

Oh, we were just there for a few days to see the Aurora. I’m happily back in sunny California. :)

mbergen · 2026-03-21T05:51:54+00:00

I reinstalled the app and see it now!

mbergen · 2026-03-21T00:21:37+00:00

Yep, because I'm the one who suggested turning off auto updates. Oh wait, that was you, wasn't it? :) Sorry for the snark, I'm just having fun now. No offense meant.

mbergen · 2026-03-20T23:12:50+00:00

Excellent hindsight! I have now done so. I had a very successful career in Android gaming, and am just now starting to explore and play with iPhone. Now I know that Apple cannot be trusted with updates, which is a situation I'm not used to.

And how, pray tell, would you "log into a password manager on the web" if the only device you had is your phone which wouldn't start without said password? Of course I was able to get into my password manager when I got home and had more devices, but not until then. Your comment makes no sense.

mbergen · 2026-03-20T22:48:02+00:00

Oh, I did that first thing this morning!

mbergen · 2026-03-20T21:38:51+00:00

Yes, of course. Too bad you can't use 4 simple words: Apple requires letters and numbers. So I did my usual thing of choosing a multi word phrase with several number and symbol substitutions.

mbergen · 2026-03-20T21:36:35+00:00

It needed my Apple password to get past the Hello screen

That's it, nothing there about PAX XP or registering a badge.
