    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So now I find myself grinding for 99999999 power in Remix. And my tism is strong enough I made a spreadsheet to track if I can get it done before remix ends. heh

    I agree that for a pantry I wouldn't want that window there, I would want additional shelf space and storage capacity for the pantry. But I'm a storage nut. In our current house the previous owners consisted of an Electrical Engineer and his wife who was a photographer. They converted the...

    That window on your pantry is going to make even bumping a small amount for the fridge awkward as hell... On the freezer topic, we have a small chest, and a standing freezer. We got the standing because I got tired of playing reverse tetris to get shit from the bottom of the chest freezer...

    Well , let's also look at the big picture of what they did... They are trying to sell what should be a moderately popular EV small SUV/Crossover type vehicle. But they slap it under their flagship sports/muscle car logo. Problems with that? Non sports car enthusiasts don't want a "Mustang"...

    OK, so I agree with the 'Trump is trying to set the stage for a new economic regime' theory in general. I think it's going to be one of having a real underlying reserve an not just trust the dollar because "it's the dollar and have you seen how many missiles we can throw at you if you...

    I'm about to have to do this dance for not only Auto but Home. I don't look forward to it, but I've been with the same insurance provider for around 20 years, and even my friends in the insurance biz are telling me "At this point the only way you get a good rate is to switch, or be REALLY...

    Housing annoyance number 1 for me. You can put down things which say they're anvils or forges, but they don't count as an anvil or forge for actual use..... What the hell?

    As mentioned.. TACO The Democrats were actually demanding a ONE year extension and NOT a 2 or 4 year. As they desperately want this to be a recurring emergency they can campaign off of.

    I think it's more that people can PROVE it has no intrinsic value. But then the value became "The full faith and credit of the US Government" which was code for "You will use this as your reserve currency, or we will come 'democratize' and 'liberate' you."

    So they're building a new Quiktrip near my house. It's been a complete non-event in my world until I saw this sign go up with one big difference between it and any other gas station within a reasonable drive of my house... Pickle officially tickled.

    Did one more rebirth, and now this is the more real soft cap. Mantra all along for me has been "Get half your diamond count in credits then rebirth" so my rebirth count is still moderately low. But now this is where it's deterring me. Last rebirth (see post before this) was managed to get...

    We're already seeing Trump prep for a Stimmy cycle cloaking it as a "Tariff Refund". Question being what excuse they will use to pump money after that, as I don't know of any other real levers they can pull. QE Forever? Big interest drop? That would require a Fed that didn't want to...

    A number of the properties outside town I've been looking at fall in the line of "10-30 acres, existing double wide on property that needs work" type scenarios. Or a few with a pre-existing small Barndominuim. Perfect scenario would be we buy one of those, I spend a some time fixing up the...

    The offers I have gotten on the house so far are all sight unseen specifically saying they don't care about the house. Although they're also all what I assume to be low balls, they're still something like 3.5-4x what I paid for the house in 2001. I'm leaning towards the less expensive fix...

    Anybody else think something like this might be why the market didn't go nuts on the NVDA double beat? I'm trying to figure out if it really matters.

    I have a wife who has been wanting something like this... hurm.... And they don't look all that hideously expensive to boot. We have a 15x30 enclosed patio room on the back side of our house that would give a good place for this I think. Of course, then we have the problem I actually came...

    Stargate SG-1

    In the video up there they do specifically call out to it being an "accessible" Stargate story/world for people unfamiliar with the franchise and possibly even not big SciFi people. The more I think about this the more this indicates to me it will need to be an Earth based show to be more...

    I'll admit to still thinking this is awfully bubbly. Although the tempering to that thought is that unlike the dotcom era these companies do at least have real revenue streams and cash flows. And my stock angst today has almost nothing to do with NVDA and more to do with other investments I'm...

    I just wonder how much NVDA earnings are going to swing every other stock that's releasing earnings after them. It feels AWFULLY .com bubbly to me right now, and I say that as someone who had stock options at the company I was with at the time go to essentially zero worth during the dotcom...

    Stargate SG-1

    Yeah, that seems to be my take on it too, that it will be a "new chapter" of an SG-1 style story based on Earth. When I told @Mrs. Haus about this her first question was "But who will be the bad guys since they destroyed the Gou'ald, Replicators, and Ori?" But I figure they'll come up with...

    Stargate SG-1

    I'll start off with a rating of "Tentative optimistic" since they have Wright and Malozzi involved. Calling it a "unique chapter" in the same universe, I wonder if they're going to tell the pre-SG1 universe of Goa'uld v. Ancient, etc....

    My chart shows it as percentage increase, his shows it on three different axes/scales which allows it to line up the trends in a different way : FRED only goes back to the early 80's for it's median household income trend. This chart shows the percentage change, not the absolute number changes...
