I have updated my auction-processing program to work with an auctionary house’s new api (the old api is being deprecated at the end of the year). They also recently made a change in the quality of matches given for your search strings. This is day two of production with the new api, and I was greeted by this collage of “vintage german hand blown rocker glass doll eyes brown” though my search term in this case consisted of -none- of these words.
My search term included “chocolate.” “Chocolate” is close to “brown,” sayeth the algorithm. Here are two dozen scary doll eyes on stalks. I could have given you actual matching guesses, I just thought maybe you would like the disembodied eye pairs more.
I don’t know why anyone would find this sort of awful seemingly-random guesswork to be helpful in any manner whatsoever.

Hello I have updated the strips page with the 2023/2024 strips. It took me this long to find a working solution which did not charge money and also was not brute force/overly annoying. I am providing the solution below, if you need to make small versions of a website in a somewhat similar manner.
First, get a snapshot program ready. I am using Clockmix, a program I wrote that does timed snapshots (you will have to find something else). The default is every two seconds. Great. Now load up the website page in your favorite browser. Hit F11 to make it full screen. In my case, 1920x1080. Now F12 to pull up the website inspector. Move the box to a different screen if you can. Start your snapshot program, and paste this into the inspector command line:
setInterval(function(){ window.scrollBy(0,1080); }, 2000);
This will move the screen 1080 pixels “down” every two seconds. Hit enter, whoosh, you’re off to the races. Go get a third cup of coffee, come back. You have many screenshots now that can be stitched together. I use Irfanview, which unfortunately has a 65XXX pixel limit. For 1080, that’s 60 images max. So tear off 60, push them into the Irfanview panorama stitch, save it off. Irfanview is not good at image resizing. I use a different program for that (and to trim the scrollbars off, so 1920px becomes 1900px). I resize the 1920x(whatever) images to 186x(whatever). Rinse, repeat. Then take all of those images back into Irfanview, stitch them together, save file, you’re all set.
Not a one-click solution but also free.
Back in the time before time, farmers looking to get away from the exorbitant cost of telephone infrastructure would just clip onto extant barb wire fences. A 1965 episode of Petticoat Junction used this as a plot device in which “Uncle Joe” creates his own barb wire fence telephone system. The clip below will start at the beginning of the barb wire fence telephone sales presentation so you can best evaluate for yourself the advantages and disadvantages of using said system in your own personal lifestyle ... system.

I found a recent study on the internet of value that listed several key components of intelligence and at what age these factors “peaked.”
A lot of them were in the late 20s.
I left it open for awhile. Thought about taking a screen shot of the listing of the attributes.
Then I immediately closed the tab. My brain, though in steep decline during the Waning Years, is very self-protective.
