I should add that this is a great guide to getting over your fear of the Pi. I plan to point people in other forums to this as a guide. Nice job, Thorin!

You can also remote in using RDP (Remote Desktop) in Windows after installing rdp to the PI (sudo apt-get install xrdp) and get a full GUI experience.

Feeling your pain here.

A lamb next to your desk?? <grins sheepishly>

This might be an option for you then. I hated them as a kid (love them now) and my Mom used to do a similar recipe with meat loaf. I was pretty surprised the day she told me and could never figure out why my friends Mom’s meatloaf wasn’t as good.

You’d also think that if you had a food allergy that could “kill” you, you’d have enough sense to clear things with your host when you go out. “Hi, Jane - thanks for inviting me; I’d love to come! By the way, did I ever mention that if I eat shrimp I turn bright red and spew from my back and front simultaneously? Will…

I can’t believe someone would have the gall to buy a set for a game and then return it. I’m sure you have some great stories to tell about that.

This is a near perfect analogy.

I get that it is satisfying and all to DIY this, but looking at the cost of the LED strips alone, it’s already at $72 USD. No list of parts or pricing but I will end up doing this with Hue lights for about the same or cheaper and gain better color control and automation with the rest of my smart house. For a lot of…

Everyone knows that if you want to get paid for doing nothing, you have to work for Congress.

This brought up disturbing imagery, especailly with all the porn references, Talk about getting your bucks in a row.

No officer, I was just picking the lock for sport. I’m actually part of a group.

I wish I had friends like this.

Interesting; I have never experienced this myself and I’m not sure I would recognize it as depression symptoms in others - despite my own condition.

I don’t think it was a bad analogy at all. I tend to swing between the numbness and the overwhelming feeling of pain. But there’s no release like there is with normal sadness; something happens - you cry - you feel relief. There’s just that constant low buzz of grief, punctuated by realizations of how depressed you…

Sounds great, thanks for the tip. Can you tell me anything about storage and shelf life? I’m a single guy so I don’t know how fast I’d go through this - assuming I wasn’t scarfing it down from the bag as a snack... Thanks!

Check eBay for the Intex one. VMInnovations was the vendor. They have sales from time to time; when I bought mine I also got free shipping.

I’m not offended, but I really wish I didn’t have to hear it because my holidays are anything but happy. And then I feel obligated to respond. Some of us are miserable at this time of year and going out to stores and being assaulted with “Christmas cheer” makes it all that much worse. There is nothing that feels…

I’m going to vouch for the hot tub, which is identical to the Intex one I purchased last year. The saddest day this year was when I had to drain it cause it was getting too cold at night. I used that thing every day and it held up great. Best 250 dollars I ever spent.

It does work fine with Waterfox. which is a 64 bit Mozilla based browser. All your plugins (all mine anyway) were installed and working when I first booted it up. I haven’t been using FF since.
