    The Video Thread

    Honestly I just post links to tweets, since the forums themselves can't save the video and I don't feel like wrestling with Imagr or youtube. Never let it be said there's no place for chunky autistic girls in college athletic events....

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    SAAR!!! As a 57 year old who is quite comfortable in Unix (literally have a customer talking to me right now because I can get shit working on AIX for them) I'll have you know... I look a lot more like a dwarf.... Realizing I'm going to straddle both sides of the Horde/Alliance fence. Hearing...

    She was in that Sony "In the Spider-verse without Spiderman" fiasco "Madame Web" but you'd be part pressed to know as they literally made her wear a compression vest to suppress her natural acting talent(s).

    Halloween is upon us!

    So.. 10 until 10.... No trick or treaters in almost half an hour. I'm ready to call it. So next kid to the door, if there is one, gets the bucket dump. (saving the remaining full sized)

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    All mine were in my email.... Did you use an alternate email on your account somewhere? I remember since neither the wife nor I did Classic we fired up and downloaded the Forever Beta and I was openly talking about how I was hoping for the full tilt nostalgia blast... started the game...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This is kinda where the wife is at. I still dream of a place with some land and a properly sized garage/workshop. And by properly sized I mean a garage/workshop with about the same Sq Ft size as the house.

    Halloween is upon us!

    We suffer from the fact that the helicopter parents a few blocks over host a "trunk or treat" on their block the saturday before Halloween so our turnout is a bit suppressed. So far a bit over a dozen kids, we might end up giving out fistfulls of candy by the end of the night so we don't have...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    OK.... The wife comes to me and tells me she's finding the bath rug in front of her tub being mysterious soaked.... Every morning.... soaked rug..... I think immediately probably culprits, bad toilet seal... Bathtub drain gasket rotting out... worse scenario... MAYBE a leaky pipe in the...

    This is starting to make me think we just aren't technologically ready to do something like a real crypto ecosystem securely outside cold storage ownership yet. And by the time we are the government will own everything needed to do it so it won't be able to deliver on all those lovely...

    So I finally did a thing I've been being lazy about... Prior to this week of the stock I held a VAST majority was in the company that I worked for until recently. Combination of RSUs I got there, plus a very lucrative ESPP program. (add in that my RSU's priced in at the absolute low of the...

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    I played both, different genres... Warcraft for me was drunk LAN parties at a buddies house when I was younger for the most part. I didn't get into MMOs until I met the wife (who was an EQ player)

    Same for the wife and I. Absolutely no desire to rush to raiding... Barely any desire to raid honestly.... It will be Duo days to 60 for us probably.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    I'll probably do my first alts Horde PvE. Main will be Alliance PvE (Wife's choice). Look for Haus or Hoss (named reserved...) And yes, if @Hoss decides to play forever I will, of course, hand over the name if requested ;) And apparently I fished in beta....

    I'm hovering around this point myself. For me the mitigating factor is knowing how much I'm mentally "built" like my grandfather who raised me, and how once he retired is when his body really started aging. Like it was a work dog that knew it didn't need to work anymore. Trying to avoid...

    Definitely, it's a pair of these bad boys. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D3ZN4G4M I have a mild concern over the "330lb capacity" since the slabs themselves are ~65 lbs. Which means once you add a small monitor lifter/hutch , dual monitors, and assorted desk nonsense it will be fine, but right...

    So this weekends project (which will bleed easily and handily into next week). Swap out the desktops on the desks in our office for my wife and I. Also, install lifting desk frames for the desktop surfaces. Out : Ikea basic table/desktop surfaces. Installed in 2011. Desktop surfaces are...

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    12/10 addon... Would consider asking Blizz to make it an integrated part of the UI.... (Not to mention it would be super useful for any other annoyance guild like some gold sellers/leveling services)

    Man, as someone who ran a guild for years (Vanilla through TBC) I still don't get having an application process like it was an F-ing job. Sure, you want to be MT or MH on the raid team, yeah, we're gonna need to see you prove yourself out for that. But my "application essay" for a guild now a...

    I still remember running tweaked out boot floppies with exotic config.sys files and himem to make some games run back in the day when we'd all haul towers to a buddy's house on Friday night for weekend lan parties. Oh yeah, and full CRT monitors as this was pre-LCD. Half the place playing...

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    From what I understand, it will be a strong showing on PvE Horde side. I plan on throwing in there, plus with my current guild I'm rolling super casual with on the Alliance side. Probably both PvE to Duo with the wife. What Forever made me realize (since I haven't played Classic) is just how...
