@Cad threw a post over in, of all places, the middle east politics thread about how the market has been doing well, which made me do a quick "What's my performance YTD" Interesting highlights... Crypto -- Down almost 30%, harvested some losses, fuck ETH, moved everything to BTC to see if I...

No penalties. I did it in the past, and since I just changed employers I'm about to do it again. There's a tiny bit of hassle, but if you're combining 401ks into the one at your current employer the the 401k provider usually offers assistance. (At my new gig they literally call it "Rollover...

So, update on my little rant from Mid July (TLDR : I hit the burnout wall combined with organizational frustration with my employer, had to take PTO to try to recalibrate). Warning, I'm going to say some things that will definitely be "first world problems" here, so I apologize to any who are...

@Nabi , With all due respect and admiration, might I direct you to my most recent video thread post : https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/the-video-thread.121/post-5448421 Unrelated :

I have a Dream Router and have pretty much loved it. A few quirks and learning curve, but that's specific to me. For years I have worked for a, let's just say, very large cybersecurity vendor. And part of that is that I've had a small enterprise class firewall protecting my home network...

When the fairy tale creatures invade his home.. Shrek has a new swamp to move into!

"Daddy.... Why does mommy need you to being more boom boom in the bed room?"

Yeah, there are a few services around that can handle it and deliver refill service for me in Dallas. But I also need to acquire the tanks themselves. My little metalcasting hobby can run through a lot of gas when I really get into things.

I mentioned up earlier the testing I originally did with the "big umbrella" approach. It notably reduced the temp of air coming out on the inside. From an engineering standpoint it would probably be explained by reducing the ambient outdoor coil temp means the compressor gets more compression...

That reminds me..... I need to acquire me a couple of those nicer sized ProPain tanks myself. One for generator standby, and one for my metal casting area for furnace. And yeah, there's a ton of conflicting opinion. So I just decided it wasn't THAT complicated and ran my own testing. In my...

I just need to get this person to come start posting here so I can stop being the middle of a poster centipede of WTF videos...

I think the real take away of this chart is... This bull market is behaving in line with other bull markets. As you mentioned the unknown variable is how long this bull will run, and I would like to subscribe to the newsletter of whoever can predict that and prove out why. This is actually an...

Looking at the crazy second weekend numbers (Behind only Force Awakens and Endgame for second weekends) and how it's already at $1.67 Billion worldwide I wonder if Marvel is actually considering that it might outgross Doomsday?

I'm waiting to see how it handles fall winds. If there's a weak point it's probably that the frame of PVC connectors is just pushed together, held by pressure. If that comes apart, I have some purple PVC cement to throw at that problem. I know the big generic patio umbrella solution was...

I promptly move my bitcoin to a proper self-custody wallet.... Seed phrase stored securely on a 3d printed plate (although I'm going to cast it in aluminum soon). I'm sure that even though BTC is slow to evolve , and lightning is very limited, at some point proper options will exist for...

Sure, everybody loves the great deals on crap made in China, but how many really know why we celebrate?

So I have reached a kinda sad conclusion today.... I went into Alts (i.e. things other than BTC) because younger, more optimistic, more naive Haus believed that we were going to really see the emergence of a new digital financial system free of the traditional banks and governments. I not...

OK. Tiny home project for the weekend time. I realized a few years back that there is some honest truth in "If you keep the outside portion of your central AC cooler, it's more efficient cooling the house". For the past few years I've accomplished this by jerry rigging a large shade umbrella...

No, it's not. But I'd like to get it done soon, and right now "soon" in Texas would mean doing this on days where the high temp is hitting 105. I thought about firing up the old system and just troubleshooting it too...

Wow... so I got my "Shit costs more now.. YO!" moment today. There's a long dormant/dead sprinkler system under my lawn at Chez Haus. It hasn't been turned on and run in over 15 years. (had some issues, and rather than fix those I decided to just start using one of those tractor sprinklers...

My question would be to what degree would be benefit from it's NVMe bus being on the card instead of across a PCIE interface, and how fast that can actually roll. Versus rolling an MoE model where it only loads a subset of parameters as needed and offloads the rest elsewhere (other video cards...

If this is true... it could get me to update/upgrade some cards here at Chez Haus...

For all of you who also had someone who just absolutely beat you down with Paul Simon's album Graceland back in the day. ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT PROTIP! : TURN ON CLOSED CAPTIONING IMMEDIATELY

Yeah, today is being pretty glorious for me across the board.... Biggest single stock I hold is up 5.5%

Just wait until turn on the radio in your car and realize.... No young person listens to a radio anymore... The "oldies" station is playing shit from the 90s.

I don't think it's anything near Spoiler territory to say Spiderman is going to be in Secret Wars, I'd honestly be surprised if he wasn't in Doomsday as well, but I don't recall or haven't cared enough to check. As for how to do the black suit. I can imagine ways they do it with Venom, I can...

Since it's below the opening price the day of release it makes me wonder.... If there were buyers, wouldn't they have probably bought by now? If they're waiting to be enticed how low does it have to hit to get them in? Sub $100? I still think between easily reusable boosters and ships, plus...

So one of the main guys behind the CLARITY act just quit the admin while it's still awaiting congress to vote on it. I don't think this is a good sign guys.....

Wow... Foreign engagement farming twitter accounts are out in absolute force farming bad takes on this film to rage-farm reactions/engagement.

If this is true, then I am open to her winning me over.

Same here, for me it was my great grandparents house. A very distinct scene that I now just associate with "really old farm house".

I was just made aware of one somewhat significant screw up... Assuming this movie takes place this year... And that the montage up front shows it's been 4 years since the last movie (they moved away, went to MIT, graduated, and moved back)... Then the date on those stone should, at latest, be...

All those are your opinion, but if I might offer my counterpoints on a few.... Also spoilered because I ramble a little...

Like The Expanse, that's some hard SciFi...

Saw the trailer for this before the new Spiderman flick. Absolutely no draw or desire to see or even ever know anything more about it.

OK, So the wife and I saw this today. First take, this is the first movie I can remember seeing since covid where the theater was honest to goodness FULL. As in people even sitting in the cheaper seats down front. And this was a 10am showing. I honestly think it's the best of the Holland...

I was thinking that, except they did it for EVERY house on the block, on both sides of the street.... Also part of that rezoning effort is to reduce the building easement limit (i.e. be able to build closer to the street to increase size). 1965 Dallas suburb, all electrical, cable, phone...
