Nice, but Tacitus is where it's at. What an old gossip queen. I think you'll like Caesar much more than I did though (based on the few bits I read) for the war propaganda reasons you mentioned.

I've heard the same thing about Tacitus but I love me some Caesar. He's the best kind of the worst kind of person. Donald Trump will talk about a racist wall he never even built to demand attention. Julius ****ing Caesar invades England for no apparent reason and comes back to Rome spinning his naked penis in circles.

Spoiler for Planks Crib:

That cheapo lamp and end table have been relocated. I did some rearranging and picked up a new lamp (the one on the left), and grabbed some strip lighting for some backlighting behind the tv.

One of the extremely stupid and annoying ways my OCD ("pure O" type) manifests is in online shopping indecision, especially when I have a Visa gift card or something. For days I spend every waking moment agonizing about it, editing my shopping cart compulsively, fretting over choosing the wrong combination of items (because it has to be just the right combination of things) and, when not doing that, fretting over feeling greedy for spending a gift card gifted to me on myself, etc. (and when I do finally buy things I often will cancel half of the items and purchase other things instead, and so on)

Earlier this year when I had a gift card, I convinced myself I needed to spend it on unusual baking flours, so I spent 2 weeks spending every waking moment researching things like how to make acorn flour and coming up with recipes for odd variations of things like snickerdoodles, which of course made me feel a great searing need to hunt down unusual flavoring extracts and syrups and teas because ordinary ingredients just won't do-- never mind the fact that my extreme absentmindedness makes baking a stressful ordeal for me every time since I'm like a tornado in the kitchen.

Anyway, this time I was fixated on wigs, since my hair is short now. Not that I have any wish to wear wigs regularly-- I just think they're fun is all. So naturally I had to drop everything to immerse myself in every wig-related forum, subreddit, and youtube channel for 2 weeks (causing me to miss a doctors appointment) and stare at every single wig on every single online wig store. All this resulted in buying one (1) cheap wig on Amazon, plus bird seed and a window bird feeder for the kitties and leaf-shaped hair clips.

Marie Monday 03-04-2021 09:34 AM

Oh god I get like that when buying things online, to a lesser extent usually, but sometimes it gets excessive.
That's a gift card well spent though.

After about two years and a recent print run of nearly 1000 pages, shock horror! The ink on my laser printer has begun to fade! So I've ordered a new one. Just waiting for it to arrive. Certainly beats changing cartridges on an ink jet every few months, with all the attendant mess.

Vegetables and fruits.

Just ordered one of these pins for my bag:

People on the site that don't disc golf are wondering why there's a group of people out there hitting tree's.

What do you need all that RAM for? You running multiple virtual machines simultaneously or something?

Plankton 11-11-2021 09:40 AM

Maxed out RAM is a smart idea actually. Hitting the RAM ceiling sucks. Solid choice there Trollheart.

You can never have too much RAM. And with a Xeon it can access it all. Plus the price was unbelievable so why not? Going from 8 to 32 is going to seem like exchanging a Honda 50 for a jet fighter I feel. :tramp:

I could put it another way: I may not NEED it but I WANT it because I'm very very greedy.
Look, my system is struggling with tabs open, word processor, Spotify, Paint Shop, torrent client, video conversion client and others. The more RAM I have the happier I'll be, and like I said, the price was a steal. Everybody wins!

It's called ART *mwah*

Trollheart 11-12-2021 06:54 PM

It's called warning - may affect people with photosensitive epilepsy! :laughing: Not a laughing matter I know; some people could be affected adversely by such a picture. I just don't see what it's meant to convey. Makes no sense to me, but in fairness I would actually throw a spoiler around it with a warning to those susceptible.

I needed a small project in my free time so I researched and compiled complete collections of both the 1993 and 2002 Muppet trading cards. I was able to secure archival storage supplies from a local collection hobbyist supplier and had fun inventorying the sets. It felt like a productive and enjoyable way to engage my love of Jim Henson's work and my passion for cataloging without being too obtrusive to my home.

Perhaps one day my archival efforts will yield a career in the field. I can dream, can't I?
