2017 Chuff thread

[ChadTower]

Awesome, thanks.


So, yeah, working on the vector games, popped in the newly acquired Tempest to MH conversion board and my board is running.  Has some input issues, but man, it's so nice to be this far.

(are  the youtube tags gone?  It tried several variations and nothing is working)

Just change "https" to "http" -- no tags required.

Yes and that isn't working anymore.  We just get a blank space where the vid should be and a "no longer available" message.  That type of embedding has been depreciated for some time..... I'm surprised it worked as long as it did.

That's because you aren't using a REAL browser -- it shows up embedded in Firefox.   

The "no longer available" message can be modified after you post.

Click on the "no longer available" message and it opens the video in a new tab.

If there's a better, easy way to embed videos, I'd be chuffed to learn how.

If you don't support ie/edge/chrome then you aren't supporting 90% of the internet.  A "real" browser is the one that people actually use.  Pretty sure it doesn't work on safari either.

Who's the white dude?

[pbj]

And why is the white dude selling his house.....

[ChadTower]

Vacation rentals use those locks too.

I remember when you used to be a cool frood...

We don't do hotels anymore, like Chaddles said, it's a vacation rental. We've found it's much more enjoyable and relaxing away from 300 families here to go to Sea World.

[pbj]

You know, my white knight justice high horse crusades are limited,  but I do draw the line at Sea World.  I was already kind of iffy on them, and the last time I went I go to the Shamu show and it's all this crap about "fierce predators with a natural range of thousands of miles" and you're looking at the poor bastard swimming circles in an outdated swimming pool.  That was it, never again.  That Black Fish documentary was mildly upsetting, but it mostly convinced me that people that aspire to train whales are odd, odd individuals.

[yotsuya]

As I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate just going on a vacation to do nothing. When I was younger it was all about making sure the family got to all the theme parks and saw all the attractions, which in the end just leaves you tired from your vacation. I just woke up today at 11 o'clock and we're gonna walk over to the beach and hang out till about six, and then going to host some friends who are also here in town for a barbecue. That's what my vacations have become, and to be honest I'm pretty happy about them now.

I went to Seat World and never made it out of the Anheiser Busch hospitality tent.

[pbj]

I went to Seat World and never made it out of the Anheiser Busch hospitality tent.

The loss of that tent was also a factor.     (Busch dumped them a few years ago...)

Was the Star Wars Chair there at Seat World?

Yeah if you ever want to be really depressed on vacation, Sea World is the place to go.  I feel for the big critters and really don't even get the need for them to be there.... the aquariums they have are far more interesting and the fish have room to breathe there.... except for the poor whale sharks.

Dog Beach, at Ocean Beach, San Diego

People at the beach in coats... in June.

It's a brisk 63 and the June Gloom is in high effect. It's a col' mofo.

[yotsuya]

It's so cold, I had to wrap my poor chihuahua...

[thomas_surles]

But what's the story behind that poor sandwich on the ground?

[yotsuya]

But what's the story behind that poor sandwich on the ground?

Some ---smurfing--- Chow came by and snagged it 20 minutes later.

That's totally normal in New England.   North of New England that's normal in July.

[pbj]

Gulf of Mexico may be silty and full of cow ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, but I'm swimming in it through October.

Looks fun, Yot.  Smile.

You look like Frodo wif dem feet.     I'm sorry to hear your vacation is chilly.  The weather here in the Mitt has been ---smurfy--- too.  Low 60's when it should be 75-80.  Hope the rest of your vaca is chuffier.

Me and the pooch in Little Italy.

[JDFan]

Ordered a couple Rpi3's from arrow.com during their free rpi3 with $20+ purchase sale the other week - then today got this e-mail.

I had received an e-mail showing I still owed the payment but ignored it since paypal already showed it paid. Not bad for $37.88 got 2 rpi3's and now an rpi0w.  :cheers:

[yotsuya]

Getting a beverage before heading down to the beach.

[yotsuya]

Empty beaches are the best...

[Howard_Casto]

Listen man, I've been accused of being grim before, but do you have any pictures of yourself smiling?  I guess what I'm trying to say is life is still good!  Don't jump!

[harveybirdman]

I like emo Paul.  Blare some Mineral bruh and complain about broken hearts and conformity!

[yotsuya]

When I was a kid, I had funky teef and learned how to smile closed mouth. Hard habit to break.

Trust me, it's been fun.

[jdbailey1206]

I have to say the Emo Yots is kinda bringing me down.  This ain't the Anti Chuff thread...

[eds1275]

My truck asplode. Coolant everywhere, serious burns to my hand reaching in to open the hood. I thought my 1993 dakota was a goner. I test drove several vehicles I couldn't afford. Turtns out it was a pump, $400 to fix. Disaster averted.

[yotsuya]

Been here all week, it's been cold and gloomy. As we're packing up to leave...



Well-played, San Diego. Well-played.

[ChadTower]

Clearly you brought the gloom with you.

[pbj]

Staggered in from bachelor party.  Wife's car magically turned into a new Miata while I was gone.

Chuff?  Naff?

 

[Nephasth]

Married? Definitely naff.

[yotsuya]

Happy wife, happy life

[pbj]

True, true.  When the 10 year old Scion blew a serpentine belt at highway speed, it was time to say adios.  Had that towed to Toyota on Saturday morning.  Halfway contemplating abandoning it there.... But I'll spend $500 on a repair and then drive it across the street to the suckers at CarMax.  Maybe I'll clear $20.


And the dogs carefully guard the bbq pit....



Yes, it's good to live in Texas....
