"these go to 11"

Love This is SpinalTap!

It's pretty much my favorite movie. And if you haven't watched it with the commentary track, well you're in for a treat.

Now that I would wear for sure!

@MattSpeller too much of that dihydrogen monoxide is a killer...

It can even be used as a weapon!

I've heard it is an effective torture device! (for certain values of effective)

It's actually very good as an industrial cutting fluid as well

Archie McPhee is awesome. I got to visit their physical store in Seattle and it was amazing. If you're ever in Seattle put that on your list of things to do.

Speaking of ridiculous simulators that people play... have you played Euro Truck Simulator?

So good. I've put a few hours into it.

So far the few minutes I've played were actually good.

It is very surprising how quickly you hey to the point where you feel a need to make one more delivery... Especially with the scenery looking like it does.

Remember to test wires with the back of your hand, so the electricity doesn't make you clamp down and keep you getting shocked 🙂

Your ears work just as well for that... just sayin'

lol

Very nice.

I've been using this all day today, great time for a Necro!

This will be awesome

If driving fast without seatbelts somehow made things safe, I'd want that.

/siderant don't feel like starting a new topic.
Can I just get this? I hate speed limits designed for the ,seemingly, lowest common denominator. Many people drive alert and safely, just much faster than the speed limit says we should.

The LED ones, will likely not as they are DC.

Why would either?

Well, mostly because traditional, non-LED, models use incandescent bulbs. Bulbs, which I thought were noisier EMI wise than other things. But I could always be wrong. I never actually studied it.

I was browsing ml with it yesterday night. It worked really well. I'm going to work on it q bit tomorrow to get it working better. The virtual keyboard is surprisingly functional.

Oh good grief, that's.... spectacularly bad

For what it's worth Nic, were I you I'd go for a 970gtx and a realllllllllllllllllllly obnoxiously good TV of the 50-60" variety.

Well I'm back to gaming at a desk, so there are some limits on how big I can go on the monitor 🙂

Just annex the next cubicle..

Encryption has more or less always been allowed - it's only through the ease of use that now they are pushing to make it go away.

@Nic Just let this happen. We just let this flow right out of our minds. We can always carry this a step further. There's really no end to this. Even trees need a friend. We all need friends. You have to make almighty decisions when you're the creator. Just relax and let it flow. That easy. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush.

Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life - to be able to share this with you. There are no limits in this world. Do an almighty painting with us.

You have to make these big decisions. If you didn't have baby clouds, you wouldn't have big clouds. It just happens - whether or not you worried about it or tried to plan it. Just think about these things in your mind - then bring them into your world. Only think about one thing at a time. Don't get greedy. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper.

This is a happy place, little squirrels live here and play. Be careful. You can always add more - but you can't take it away. Just pretend you are a whisper floating across a mountain. If what you're doing doesn't make you happy - you're doing the wrong thing. Don't forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you.

See there how easy that is. The first step to doing anything is to believe you can do it. See it finished in your mind before you ever start. We artists are a different breed of people. We're a happy bunch. From all of us here, I want to wish you happy painting and God bless, my friends.

I sincerely wish for you every possible joy life could bring. These little son of a guns hide in your brush and you just have to push them out. Now we can begin working on lots of happy little things. No pressure. Just relax and watch it happen. You have to make those little noises or it won't work. We don't really know where this goes - and I'm not sure we really care.

Use what happens naturally, don't fight it. You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful. Let that brush dance around there and play. Only eight colors that you need. We'll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun.

@Nic sweet, thanks.
