Funny thing is, as I've gotten older, I have a high sensitivity to anything which causes motion sickness. True, I could grab a Bonine tablet and wait 30 minutes, but I've really lost interest in most of that stuff.

I know what you mean. My ears are very sensitive to altitude changes, which is a bit annoying when flying in a non-pressurized aircraft.

On a lark, I decided to pull up information on the latest MS Flight Simulator release. About the only way it can be played on a PC, as near as I can tell, is via Steam. I guess they view it as an easier "distribution" mechanism.

Or, as they would say in French: c'est la vie!

Well I am certainly hands on.
Making a basic darkmode for the forum while trying to keep to the mint theme.

Still needs a lot of work

Firefox extension called Stylus
It allows for live changes when you're making the CSS by overriding existing rules.

I made this dark mode for the forum.
While a small chunk of it is done, there are issues here and there.

Such as not being able to see Global Mod names
Some sections being white with green text.

I suppose it has to do a hard work modifing the css but let's see if I can do something to my taste, I don't hate the color of forums but a dark theme is need it

You can find some other user made themes for other sites, such as google, yahoo, etc.
There is one for the mint forums but for some reason it effects all websites so i quickly purged it.

Popping Boba Ingredients:

water
juice
sodium alginate
calcium lactate
Popping Boba Recipe:

To make popping boba balls, simply follow these steps:

Take two cups of water (tap water works fine!) and add in 2 teaspoons of calcium lactate.
Mix it until the powder all dissolves to form a colorless solution.
Next, take your fruit juice and add it to the blender. Add in the sodium alginate. The sodium alginate is supposed to be a 1% solution, so if you use 100ml of juice, that will lead you to use 1g of sodium alginate. Don’t worry though, a little bit extra won’t hurt you much!
Blend the mixture until it is nice and combined
Let the mixture sit for a few hours to let all the air bubbles in the mix disappear.
Put the mixture in a dropper and slowly drip droplets of this into the calcium lactate solution that we made before.
Keep making as many popping bobas as you like and once you are done, strain them out of the calcium lactate solution.
Rinse your popping pearls with water to get rid of the calcium lactate residues.

Yes, one of my favorites. I'm also fond of saisons.

I hope to celebrate New Year with a large bottle of Saison Dupont, instead of champagne (If I can find one).

I have tried Linux every now and then I started with Ubuntu then Lubuntu now Linux Mint because I have a 7200rpm 500gb hard drive and it took w10 forever to load when I physically switched hard drives. I never stayed with any Linux o/s because the Steam games are all Windows based but I am going to try a Virtual Machine. I tend to use Linux for a few days or a week or two then switch back to Billy Boys O/S whatever the flavor is which was Windows 10. I like Linux feel of windows with a desktop and icons but I never really got any virtual machines to work.

Hello People where have you gone !

Hi Folks...

Still enjoying Mint.

I had a goof-up trying to upgrade to 20.0, bricked my system. Not a Mint issue...my Internet went out just before finishing the upgrade.

Reinstalled from a backup, and upgraded to 19.3.

Read my signature. All my stuff came back.

Been playing with 20.3 on another drive. Got a lot of my (REALLY!) old favorites to work, quite well.

I've been tempted to try Arch again, but I'm getting too old for headaches.

Hope everyone is well and doing OK.

BTW, I'm digging Hypnotix. Great TV from all over the world. All the English content from Russia and Ukraine has gone dead, for some odd reason...
