    Total War: Warhammer

    I think I've played every legendary lord (that was available in WH1/2 ) once and have rarely played a LL a second time. At least until it gets a upgrade from the SFO mod team, or less often, Creative Assembly themselves. I've found the following factions to be the most enjoyable: The Empire...

    Invincible

    I think the Pharaoh is going to be a running joke for the season finale, maybe? Don't read comics so no idea what part he plays there.

    Car Insurance / Home Insurance

    I never fill out or even read anything from Geico and they haven't canceled me yet. So it looks like the ride share companies have sold your info to Geico. For all the other companies, it's probably best to do internet quotes on them all then look up the cheapest ones and see if you want to...

    I've not followed HDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision (I'm not about to replace a $800 receiver for it) but I thought it needed hardware support, not just some new firmware. I can't think of a single other function on any TV that I have seen that I need. Firestick, Chromecast, or Shield does all the...

    If you find the remote, do a factory reset and never connect it to the internet. It should roll the firmware back and never get one of those popups again.

    Calling out FOH Historians

    Don't know who any of them people are. Google says the first two are murderers. Our Hall of Fame threads are probably a bit different than those people, like this one: Unfortunately, it looks like all the pictures in the thread are dead, but Johnny here decided to document his skimming of funds...

    For current owners of Roku TVs, at least it's an easy fix and even fairly cheap: Don't connect your TV to the internet and then stream through a non-Roku device. Of course the manufacturers of the other streaming devices will watch if it hurts Roku's bottom line, and respond with their own ad...

    Do you gays even lift? (srs)

    Well, according to the flow chart, only black men that lift in a park actually lift, which must mean yall are paid in Zimbabwe dollars. Congrats on the melanin and higher crime rate, I guess.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Bones and to a lesser extent skin, make a large difference in flavor on white meat. Since it's dark mean, it has enough grease that the skin doesn't matter, but the bones do. For boneless, I usually find a flavor packet or marinade to stick it in for 24 hours. I've used so many marinades and...

    I assume since it's thighs, they still have the bones. If so, chicken and rice casserole is fast and simple.

    While we have/had a few people with schizophrenia (probably), I don't think any threads have survived the meatgrinder of the normal forum.

    You could try a Android TV box and then see if you can load a custom Android rom with everything but the bare essentials cut out.

    The 7 day forecast is rather inaccurate but still sucks for anyone that took a vacation to see it. This is a wet time of year for everywhere in the totality, so plenty of people will get screwed by weather, no mater what.

    I thought Ultrawides had issues with a lot of older or indie games, so I have never even looked at them. I also don't feel like they would add enough value to the 4x, RTS, and wRPG games I play. On the other hand, I cant live without a second monitor for having, at a minimum, a browser/YouTube...

    Be aware that the most racist posters we have, psyke, Boozecube, and Lanx (who is ironically Asian) are the ones interacting the most with you. Out of the rest of the people here, probably only 50% dislike specific Jews, not the whole group of them... Think of Psyke as: Booze as: and Lanx as:

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Sugar was still being produced in Caribbean, so importing it wasn't that much. Meaning it probably wasn't any more expensive than normal. So if someone wanted a cake for a special occasion, there was no getting around needing the sugar, but if you can eliminate eggs, milk, and butter it saves...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    That bread in a cast iron skillet made me think of a cheap and easy cake recipe. It does not need eggs, milk, or butter and is called Depression cake (legend has it that it got very popular in the Great Depression), also called Wacky Cake. It's great for camping (if you own a camping oven)...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    What do you consider ancient and does it need to be an S? It looks like you can find ~20 year old Boxter/Cayman with basic options for under $30k from a private seller, if you keep an eye on the market and jump on it when you see it. From what I remember, Autotrader was always high when I was...

    Ah yea, love the way the Lotus looks but just looked it up. Lotus made the Elise for 25 years with a total production of 35,124 vehicles. They stopped production in 2021 (surprising) and the few threads I read on the Lotus enthusiast forum makes it sound like there are some part sourcing...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Price can depend on how long you want to sit around looking, you might be able to find a good deal on a car that would normally be north of $30k. There are also a few cars that have removable targa tops, which aren't as expensive as a full convertible but function almost the same. For example...

    Since you put in all that work, and if you plan on keeping the car for a while or until it dies, look into getting a tube of dielectric grease (or another type of silicone based grease with no solvents in it) to put on all the soft rubber seals to increase their life. Some people use products...

    I also have to drive over some gravel roads to get to my house, so I feel your pain. You may want to look into a California duster, depending on how wet/humid it is and how much work you want to do. You would basically need to stop once you have passed the dirt/gravel road section(s) and get out...

    I took Amtrak from Austin to DFW once, about 10 years ago and it was a nice change from driving.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I though Japan had mass production, plants in the US, and simplicity in design (Turbo i4 vs v6/v8) to drive costs down. I don't picture Euro imports when I think of drifting.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Ah, didn't know drifting was so expensive. Always thought it was the "cheap" way to have fun at the track with low HP cars, instead of spending a bunch of money trying to get 400+ HP on a frame with proper weight distribution. With the prices you're describing, there are cheaper C5/6 Vettes and...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Mustang uses bigger and wider tires than the majority of import though? With drifting, that cost could make a difference. Also, wouldn't drifting put more stresses on a car than racing it normally, and thus cause other parts to break faster? Smaller turbo 4 banger engines and drivetrains parts...
