Toad out for an evening nibble

Steam is having issues
  • Seems to be working for me again.

  • Steam stuck on logging in for anyone else?

  • Steam stuck on logging in for anyone else?
  • Yep, seeing that with my deck and HoloISO desktop right now. Best advice is probably to avoid restarting, and potentially switch to offline mode if you're still logged in.

  • is Space Engineers better/comparable to empyrion?
  • I haven't played in a while, but SE always felt like more of a physics sandbox than an actual game. 'Minecraft in Space' is a far comparison. But it's shalow in that there isn't much, if any story, campaign, or real progression to it. It's fun to build in, and has a continued multiplayer fanbase. Worth wishlisting and getting on sale if you like building in Empyrion.

  • Do memes from 1911 count if they're still true?
  • Thank you! I recently saw a thumbnail of this in a Feral Historian video and I was hoping to find a copy.

  • Why does this happen to some of my games?
  • Seconding this advice. Install ProtonUp-Qt, run it and add the latest Proton-GE version. Restart Steam and change game compatibilty settings to use use Proton-GE.

  • I’m in a park. The grass is being mown by a robot.
  • My curiosity got the best of me, here's the link to Wright: https://www.wrightmfg.com/products/mowers/commercial/stand-on/robotic-zk/

    The Mower

    • 40HP Vanguard Engine
    • Hydro-Gear Smartec Drive-By-Wire 12cc
    • 15.5 Gallon Fuel Capacity
    • Centimeter-level accurate RTK GPS
    • Commercial-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
    • Depth-sensing object detection cameras
    • Rock-solid wireless emergency stop
    • Remote control mode
    • Live Greenzie support: Call for support while in the field for real-time fixes.

    The Software

    • Mow the boundary once, and the mower fills in the rest
    • Remembers maps and can repeat them when you come back. Just place it in the previous boundary.
    • Create no-go zones that will be saved with your map to avoid hitting hard-to-see obstacles like drain covers or small pipes sticking out of the ground.
    • Record and repeat: Record yourself mowing the entire property, and the mower will replicate your movement.
    • Manage the mower with the controller or a smart device in real-time.
    • Advanced fleet support: See how your fleet is performing. Replay entire jobs, not just a dot on the map.
    • Run multiple units at once.
    • Set the stripe angle (for those stunning cross-hatch patterns)
    • Seamless automatic updates
  • My bioluminescent petunia
  • Don't get me wrong, I still feel dirty for defending the US patent system. lol

  • My bioluminescent petunia
  • 'Personal use' covers propagation and breeding by an individual, for non-commercial purposes. Nobody's saying -you- can't try to propigate or breed them, but you could be libel if you try to make money off the endeavor.

    In this case I would say the patent system is working as intended, in that it gives some protection to LightBio's investment into creating the firefly. While I would LOVE to see an expanded variety available from other -commercial- growers (with MUCH larger operations and funding), I don't want it to be at the expense of LightBio's effort, or the commercial success they've earned for creating it in the first place.

  • My bioluminescent petunia
  • Nice! Mine should be arriving soon and I can't wait! Does Light Bio send out shipping notices, or did you all just have it arrive as a nice surprise?

  • Gamified Bird Identification App?
  • I don't know of a gamified version (but would love to see one), but for help identifying, validating, and tracking sightings you may find the Merlin app from TheCornellLab useful.

  • Looking for a thermometer or home weather center with indoor and outdoor temp sensors, and that can record and export the data, does anyone know of such a device?
  • Take a look at the thermometer/hydrometer from SwitchBot (also available on Amazon). $14 each, but available in packs of 2/4 at a discount.

    Nearly all SB products seem to have data export from the app. I have three temp sensors (inside/outside/garage), and also use the smart plug mini to monitor and store power consumption data for devices.

  • Looking for a spaceship/sci fi game to play. Any thoughts?
  • While not a flight sim I'll give a recommendation for Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Spend some time salvaging old spaceships in zero-g.
