I didn't notice that Keli Lane was back in the news again. Her boyfriend of the last 17 years did an interview. He and her daughter have asked that she be released because they disagree with the "no body, no parole" law.

The video was mostly a puff piece/softball interview with Patrick Cogan (the current boyfriend), reenacted reading letters by the unnamed daughter that was born ~5 years after Tegan (and not the biological daughter of Patrick), and a brief discussion with a group trying to prove Keli's innocence. The Chris Dawson case is briefly mentioned in relation to the "no body, no parole" law.

Highlights:

• We learned that Patrick was a Physical Education teacher in a North Sydney (Chatswood) school but was fired. He claims he was unfairly dismissed because he used school email and resources for Keli-related (legal?) matters, claims that he won the cases and should be returning to work but the school is still blocking him.
• Patrick and Keli first met when they were in high school but reconnected at a Manly beach just before she was convicted.
• Patrick has not been monogamous for the last 17 years. Sometimes he had Keli's consent to be polyamorous and sometimes he didn't. At times, she has asked him to break up with her.
• Patrick really really believes Keli is innocent and hasn't had a "fair go". He claims that he found somebody who he thought was Tegan, matched all the details, and looked just like Keli etc but the DNA test said she wasn't.
• The daughter is 25 now and was 9 when Keli went to prison. She had been living overseas but is back in Sydney. There were a few photos of her when she was ~8 to 9 with Keli.
• I'm not sure if the problem is me but I felt Patrick was a little icky when he was asked what the daughter is like.
• I really wish they interviewed The Moose and Sandra. I want to see how they are doing. Patrick says that they are elderly and want to see their daughter free before they die.
• The end of Keli's sentence is 2028. The video says that she has been a model prisoner and doesn't mention the allegedly harassing letters.

My Deck has a battery problem and Valve have sent a RMA.

They've sent instructions for the RMA. Do I really have to remove the screen protector? Is it reusable if I remove it and don't break it?

How reliable is the backing up of save files to Steam Cloud?

Oh hai, Mike! You're my favourite walker.

Edit: I should have googled before asking that question.

I'm not sure if IMDB is wrong. There was a Myke Holmes who guest starred as a human.

Has anyone made their own blade protectors? If so, what material did you use?

Currently in my league, most people buy the extremely cheap plastic blade protectors from Amazon/eBay/temu. They tend to wear out quickly.

Some people have tried metal. I wonder if Polyurethane would be better. It wouldn't be too hard to make a mould then cast it

Currently I am listening to James rant about how he listened to an entire Yoko Ono record because a hot chick invited him over (in the episode "Phantom of the Neighborhood - Acme, Washington").

For me, 20 years ago, I went to a really small church and there were only about 3 age-appropriate women. One of them invited everyone in our age group to a Christian music festival. I went. It was pretty bad. I don't think she liked my Guided By Voices t-shirt that had "What shitty band are you in?" on the back.

What's the worst thing you did or endured in the hope of getting laid?

I have started to redo old expeditions using https://cwmonkey.github.io/nms-expeditions/

I completed exp 12 to get the Starborn Runner.

Next I did exp 7. Early on, I copied a Starborn Runner and Atlas Sceptre into my expedition. I made some improvements to them during the expedition. I have finished everything in the expedition and am back in my main save at the Anomaly. However when I try to copy the Runner v2 and Sceptre v2 to my main save, it won't let me and says they have already been copied.

How can I copy them out? (BTW, I made a backup of my save files during the expedition, so I can return to just before I ended the expedition.)
