    Ancient Civilizations

    In my opinion the better evidence that some civilization more advanced than we realize existed is simply knowledge that does exist in the historical record. But the origin of said knowledge is unknown and it was highly unlikely scholars of the period had any way of knowing. Like gobekli tepi...

    The Fast Food Thread

    This. Texas or Southwest BBQ (Texas/Oklahoma mostly) is traditionally brisket. The sides that you can get with this are green beans, pinto beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, baked potatoes. Along with some classic desserts like cobbler. That is Texas BBQ. It never comes with fries if you're...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I hate poutine because you make fries soggy as shit. Which defeats the purpose. They are only tolerable when the fries are super crispy and you eat it immediately. When you do a poutine type thing on mashed potatoes its perfect though.

    Car ?'s

    So on my Tundra. After getting rear ended by another truck at the gas station the cosmetic damage to my truck costs ~$6000 at the body shop to repair. The truck that rear ended me was going at most 10MPH. Clown world indeed.

    I haven't caught up on a lot of this until this week. I have read that Magician pets actually provide minor group buffs as well now? That's a nice update.

    I had no college debt. I spent 6 years in the army so I didn't have to pay for university. I was 25 when I started making $55k and I had no debt. I drove a total beater and did for many many years. I was in an advantageous position because of this. If I started at $65k in 2024 with this same...

    While I generally agree I think there's more to it. I work in tech as a software engineer. I make good money. I hire lots of entry level software engineers now who are starting right where I did over a decade ago. These guys get objectively less money than when I started working. My first SWE...

    I have two siblings who have never really had good jobs living at our childhood home. With their boyfriends and multiple kids. They don't pay rent or utilities and are both over 30 years old. Somehow they are still broke and my Mom just doesn't have the heart to kick her grandkids to the curb...

    It isn't too much of a chore to save for even 20% (and 20% was not required anyway) down when home prices are $100k-$200k like they were through most of the 10s. When I bought my first house I was making like $70k alone. Something you can earn while hustling at Olive Garden without too much...

    Is this kind of shit that makes me wonder how people survive. I make extremely good money and even we are feeling the belt tighten some. In Texas between my two properties its ~$25k+ just in property tax now. In addition to a ~27% Fed income tax.

    Am I reading the class descriptions right? Wizard can go melee to regain mana when they're low as well as providing melee DPS procs or something to the group? Because daddy likes that. Also, how does that journal screenshot posted work? You get updates for NPCs you talk to or something?

    I kept my old house and rented it out. It was a typical 3/2 in Austin that I bought for $180k in 2015. It's worth ~$400k now because the neighborhood has been built up significantly and more and more shit is being built around it. I rent it, today, for $2100/month so I just hold onto it. I had...

    It's well known that Middle Ages Egypt mined the pyramids for stones periodically. Rome suffered similar problems once it was abandoned. As the region was depopulated multiple times over the millennia many of the former pyramid stones were found in the area. Or further broken up into smaller...

    You could certainly squeeze in a Miata or something. But it would be a tight fit. I'll find the measurements in a bit. The overall garage is big but the door to the third garage is like tiny. Extremely tiny. So that is the bottleneck for getting something in there. I'm 6'3 and I wear size 15...

    Playing on Windows XP for that truly classic feel huh? Also question. Is mana regen/hp regen super slow in this? I think that's the one thing I want to see reduced.
