  1. Probably the same as what I saw, a PC case designed to look like a vintage radio cabinet. Maybe I should have bought it, but it's not like I can afford to build a new PC at this time, if ever... Google is not helping me on this, it's just custom builds coming up on the first page. Old cabinets are on eBay....
  2. But... but... what about naugahyde? How many nauga's does it take to make a pair of naugahyde boots?
  3. Today I made my most ambitious use of KIS/KAS yet ( I know, I'm sure others have done much more. Baby steps...). I had a mission to recover Lizdun and her wreckage from Eve, so I rendezvoused my Gilly Miner that was already in the system to see what I was dealing with. It turned out to be a Mk1 passenger cabin, which should be easy. So I EVA'd over an engineer with a spare part container strapped to his back (first time I've made use of that feature) and bolted on a clamp-o-tron, and docked the Miner to it. So ends phase 1. When the next Eve window opens up, I'll send out a return vehicle attach another port, dock to the cabin and bring it back. It should be fine on top of a Mk1-3 capsule. Also, for the first time (that I've noticed) in five years of playing this game, I finally found a MunCastle! I'm sure KIS/KAS had nothing to do with it! One of these days I really have to go looking for a Green Meanie. Still haven't stumbled across one, but I haven't really looked either...
  4. This Alt-F4 quit confirmation really needs to be done. Yes, most desktop keyboards have a gap between the F4 and F5 keys, but my laptop doesn't; And neuroflatulence happens even then. @JPLRepo or @RoverDude, can you kick this up for the next patch/update please? It shouldn't be hard to do; StarCraft has a confirmation for Alt-F4 quit (after I started telling people typing in cheat codes in multiplayer to press Alt-F4 to enable cheat codes for MP )
  5. I’m going to assume that’s heavy sarcasm, because I’d be taking those straight to the auto parts store to find replacements. My project for this afternoon is to rotate the tires on my Yaris front to back, because when I put my summer tires back on, I started getting an intermittent vibration on the highway that a rebalance didn’t fix. So now I see if rotating helps, and if it does, I will never stack my tires to store them again. If not, then it’s off to get the front end checked out, since apparently something coincidentally wore out. Or my daughter may have hit a curb or pothole, again coincidentally. Then I need to rotate the tires on our Caravan, cuz wow does it wear down the front shoulders fast. Or it got banged into a serious toe-in condition. It’s only a 2014 with 23,000 km on it, but mostly city (and my wife probably corners hard). And it’s a tight downhill U-turn into our townhouse garage. I’ll probably have to get the tires remounted inside out in another year or two
  6. Hmm, yes. A long time ago (on a pentium 100MHz) a bad PSU was frying the cd-rom drive in a week or less. I went through three cd-roms before I realized it was the PSU. Also look on the MB for leaking capacitors (those little cylinder-shaped things). If there's crud on the top, then that would be your problem. It's tricky, but someone good with electronics can replace bad caps.
  7. Mad Ma: Mother gets mad (in a post-apocalyptic world) The Rad Warrior: This warrior is totally rad, man! Plus, he fights with radiators, so you really don't want to get up in his grill, man! Mad Ma: Beyond Thunderdom. The original Mad Ma becomes a very loud dominatrix....
  8. Aquadextrous - The ability to manipulate the bathtub faucets with one’s feet.
  9. Must be marking Nyan Star Wars Day
  10. That is a recent addition, from 1.3.something, I think
  11. That’ the layman’s term for the crud that builds up under toenails
  12. The entire universe could just be the “jam” under some giant’s toenail....
  13. Sorry if I offended; it was meant in fun. Live long and prosper, eh
  14. Faaaaaan-tastic! I love all the fantastic creations you've showcased, to an awe-inspiring soundtrack!
  15. Yah, well, The Revenge of the Fifth is coming!
  16. Wait what, alignment indicator? In stock? That's news to me! I only know of one alignment indicator, from a mod, that only shows up when you select a docking port as target... But yeah, in my one docking since 1.4.x, I did find it harder to get the ships to actually connect, but they were both big ships on a regular clamp-o-tron. Had to get that mod to actually complete the docking, and even then, it just didn't seem to want to click unless I got it perfect. Wasn't sure if it was my imagination or large ships or what...
  17. Weird, I tried both full-download MacOS links for 1.4.3 and the MacOS link for MH, and they all started downloading. I cancelled, of course, because I'm not on Mac.
