    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've bought three cars from different states than the one I was residing in and while they were a while ago now, I don't remember doing anything different than what I did for a in state purchase. Go to the proper government building, pay a tax, send some paperwork and the old signed title in...

    The Acolyte

    Next week is the episode where we (well you) get to see what one reviewer said will finally kill star wars for any of the old fans of the original trilogy still left (or some such). I'm sure he didn't over sell it and it's going to be monumental! I can't wait... to read other people talk about it.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    You are using UBlock Origin, not just UBlock? I'm pretty sure that's what's doing the heavy lifting for me. I'm using Vivaldi browser (it's Chrome based), but I doubt it will change anything if Brave and Ublock Origin isn't working for you.

    Well that defiantly clears up the whole motivation of the fatman on a little horse. Thanks!

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    I didn't like Elden Ring as the story is shit to non-existent (or maybe you have to go find it in books like some retarded Bethesda game). The exploration is certainly the best part, and where I spent the majority of my time (finding the invisible wall). The strange landscapes and NPC designs...

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    That first tweet makes me think of the common sensationalism that media use when talking about volcanos and earthquakes. When "any minute" in geological time is within the next 500 to 1000 years.

    Ironic telling him that he is not thinking about the proper timelines, when you seem to think the earth moves so fast. The geological timelines that you describe are going to take far longer than 10,000 years. For example, the Rockies have been there for millions of years. The ground Phoenix...

    I don't see anything stating or suggesting that the gene that mutated to digest the nylon byproduct could only exist because it was used to digest nylon in the past.

    Ancient Civilizations

    Where are you getting all this bacteria already knew how to digest nylon and couldn't possibly pick up that ability in 40 years? I think you are misunderstanding what they are saying about the DNA. Also, 40 years seems like a long time for a bacteria. If a bacteria is growing, it can divide...

    Easier explanation is stories of the breaking of Glacier lakes getting passed down through the generations as humans settled the Americas. This is the easiest explanation for all great flood stories. Humans could have been in the Americas for some of these particular events and they also...

    Austin

    It's been a while, but I think 44 in OK is all toll with actual booths, but not that much cost? There won't be any tolls in Texas by going through OKC, as it's 35 the whole way (at least, once you are heading out of Austin). Edit: The route link wasn't working. I've taken that 82 cutover before...

    Austin

    Ah, I forgot exactly where you lived so was just doing from Tulsa to Austin. It gave a 20 min difference for that route, going through Oklahoma City. At 35 min extra it's still not a bad choice, if you want a ton of high speed no stop highway only driving. I didn't mind the 75 and 69 route all...

    Austin

    Be aware, 35e and the downtown Dallas interchange fucking sucks (Dallas in general sucks). Going through Oklahoma City might be worth the extra bit of time just to take the "nicer" 35w and not have to hit the 35e -> 75 interchange. Google Streetview is pretty good for showing you the shit (here...

    Borderlands

    Defiantly looks like it's already in the running for worst video game movie adaptation. Although I may not necessarily "get" Borderlands, since I found the first game to be lackluster and never played any of the others. Maybe the under 30 year old spaz crowd think it looks good (or teens in...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Don't ya know that the Monk class and martial arts used in western products, like D&D/Pathfinder, is now cultural appropriation, so they are just trying to get out in front of that. Plus Spiritborn is kinda similar to two-spirit, which is what some American Indians called the gays or "trans" or...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I can't think of a vehicle that gives you more bang for the buck across both the base and Z06, in any generation. In order to appeal to a younger crowd, and not just be an old man sports car, it's been Chevy's marketing strategy to make the Vette the best price for performance for as long as I...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Your friend got retardedly lucky there. No idea how much time I've spent playing, but also have 3 max rep level 100 characters with full level 15 runes for 1 spec (2 specs on druid)(how ever many NM that takes), ~13 Tormented Duriels, and worked up to level 58 Pit. The only Uber I have seen was...

    Part of the point of maxing the wolf rep grind is making Ubers, if you are unlucky in getting them. It doesn't take all that long to level to mid 70s, and by then, if you are maxing the rep, you would be done. You already have 2 sparks at least, 1 from max rep on your character and 1 from...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Edit: I guess I am on ignore, since this will be the third time going over this... Not exactly, again, the loot at WT4 is worthless for the 50s and 60s if you have worked on your rep. The chests in WT2 give much more rep (WT4 = 840 rep, WT2 = 1200 rep per 2 zone Helltide) so opening WT4 chests...

    The Boys

    Last season was mediocre and went nowhere, so I don't have much hype going into this season. Hopefully it's at least better than it's spin off show, Gen V, which wasn't terrible.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The WT1/2 chests are all the same, and give 120 rep for 100 cinders. The rep boxes give gear that is set item levels with guaranteed uniques in them. If you get rep fast enough you can have ilevel 750+ weapon at 55, maybe even a higher ilevel. The gear in WT4 was mostly worthless for my level 60...

    Wouldn't surprise me that some suit pushed for that plot point to meet some metric they thought would get more "premium women" demographic, after they did test screenings. I mostly blame the mediocrity of the movies on the Warner C-suits for pushing it to be three movies and Jackson agreeing to...

    I was totally tempted to fire up Brave browser and head over to mw.lonelil.ru after seeing a couple people saying it wasn't turrable. You may be asking yourself, why fire up Brave, and that's because the mw.lonelil.ru website requires an open-source add-on to work well, and it does work very...

    Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if that was their marketing strategy for trying to get 15 to 25 year olds to watch the show and that whole set up was written by staff.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I think you get currency faster in WT 3, then faster still in WT 4. So if you run around with constantly spawning worms and elites from the sploit or sit at Maiden (also spawning elites and worms, but less often) in WT 3/4, you can make enough currency to open all the boxes (in WT 2) faster.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Also, focusing on wolves rep and getting all the high level items by the early 70s, makes surviving with a mindcage easier. If you are ahead of the curve while progressing the rep, it also allows you to easily finish the keystone dungeons. I didn't push the keystones as fast as I probably...
