Cool. Yeah, coming from a 4Runner you have a good idea then. I don't have them, but captains chairs in the second row seems good to me, but the third row in the GX460 is pretty useless. I don't know much about the Atlas. I tend to think VW is all about the GTI/R. If you test drive an MDX, see...

I own a GX460. It's not really in the same league as the others. It's a 5,200 lb body on frame (lift-able) NA V8 full-time 4x4. Think of it as a smaller format Landcruiser (overseas its called a Landcruiser Prado) or a 4Runner with all the options (4Runners haven't had v8 since like 2004...

Don't think that mobo has wifi. Can work around that with a pcie card or usb stick, but I prefer it out of the box. I love NVME. If you want more bang for your buck, though: https://www.newegg.com/crucial-p1-1tb/p/N82E16820156199?&quicklink=true I run evos for c: and d: and this crucial for...

The news about kids' ability to catch and spread the virus is all over the place lately. Hard to know what to do except err on the side of caution.

Understood. There's no firm release date on the 4000s for retail yet, anyway. I think a 3400G would be fine for your purposes. I ran mine with the stock fan and iirc I ran at a fixed OC of 3.9GHz CPU and 1600MHz GPU (OC through the BIOS, not Ryzen Master). This would run Doom (2016) at 1080P...

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Core-i3-10100-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3400G/3717vs3498 in general, Userbenchmark favors Intel. And that particular Userbenchmark seems to give the 3400G inferior RAM. AMD performance hinges on RAM. I've owned a 3400G but not the i3. My guess would be that...

Not Star Wars XXX

No charisma whatsoever. Remake with Cara Delevingne please.

Battleship Yamato before and after its refit

@ver_21 a manual wire brush is the most damaging. At least, obviously damaging in term of frayed wood fibers. The power washer and sander damage as well, but don't leave quite as much mess behind. I'm not sure I want to see what a power wire brush can do. If damaging the wood is a concern...

I don't like using liquid or gel removers if I don't have to. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Avanti-Pro-4-in-Drill-Mount-Quick-Strip-Wire-Brush-PWW040WIRD01G/202830914 Heat gun might come in handy, too.

I started re-reading Zahn's Heir to the Empire series. It's not perfect, and would need some tidying up, but it makes so much more sense as a continuation of Star Wars. Thrawn just fits. And if you have to have a Mary Sue, Mara Jade is at least a bitter one.
