Akshually, a wormhole is not FTL travel, so it's not solving it, just sidestepping it.

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:

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...

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 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...

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...

Rendering Roman Emperor statues to look as they were described by Pliny, Malalas, or Suetonius: Different process with more emperors:

Thread Necro time: *Arise Chicken Arise* Someone recently released some huge mod for this game. Will probably give it a shot soon. https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5099711#p5099711

Well, in that case I would like to ask a life and death question regarding Louisiana law!

I took Amtrak from Austin to DFW once, about 10 years ago and it was a nice change from driving. The good side was that the seats were very comfortable, it wasn't crowded, you can get up/move around easily, there was no bullshit security theater like flying, and I didn't have to be alert as if...

This is also how I read it. Additionally, I thought that totally changing your hair color required copious amounts of bleach or some other bleaching chemicals, unless you are blond/grey already. So any of the unatural human hair colors would always have more chemicals touching the scalp for a...

Finally, the future I imagined as a kid:

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.

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...

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...

@Bandwagon You were still cooking the corn tortillas that you used to buy at the store, right? Once properly cooked, I don't find much difference in taste for any of the corn tortillas I've had in Texas (restaurant or store bought) and they are already super cheap. HEB even makes their own...

I've had my meatspin clock running since Y2K and it points to yes.

I watched the Chinese version of the show and they spend over double the amount of time getting to about the same stopping point as the Netflix show. So they go into more details of both the aliens and the humans helping them. It sort of helps to smooth over the rough edges and changes that the...

Meters are going to be a bit funky just by the nature of SoD, but they don't show warriors in a bad place for PvE? Shaman tanks doing more DPS than rogues (a pure dps class!!) and melee hunters being 4th in a vanilla based game is a bit funny though.

I don't think/know if they have said specifically that it will be called Enhanced Edition, but they are certainly working on all the post release stuff they promised:

On a related note: I recently switched to Bing for recipe searches and it seems to do a bit better with not pushing the same small group of shitty websites.

A slew of these gifs popped up when I searched for "never heard of them" so I feel it's appropriate!

IGN interview with Sven of Larian about the Gaming industry, BG3, and game development. Many more questions in the interview, but these were the most interesting two I found. While the second question is more in line with this thread, putting the BG3 question first, since that's the order of the...

Well now, since you're here, can we talk about WoW Officer titles?

They have been expanding Central Market, so you have a lot more to visit to make the tour now. South Lake has had one for probably ~10 years, Plano has one, Dallas actually has three, and Austin has a second one.

AFAIK, HEB is using Wal-Mart's logistics strategy when it comes to expansion, which means they build a warehouses first then expand around that (I think the warehouse and store need to be within a X hour drive for a semi). They can only build warehouses so fast while not borrowing too much money...

Well, a place called Hong Kong Market Place has 3,700 reviews on google and it's on the way to the airport, so I would think it might be something to check out: https://maps.app.goo.gl/x4qxXDBYkQYUb7Ep9 Edit: Well, it's a little out of the way but 3.7k reviews, yo. If I was going to make a...

Last time I was in town, the Ft. Worth one was the one I looked at going too, but it looked rather small. That lead me to looked up more info about Trader Joe's in particular and there were many comments about it having it's own stuff that people go there for but not near the selection of a...

Well Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii was the best musical I have ever seen then. Also, Woodstock should be on a bunch of top 10 lists as one of the best musicals of all time, if you look it up. I mean, who cant instantly recognize this as a musical to rival Phantom of the Opera (I would certainly...

We don't have very many Trader Joe's (only Dallas proper has more than one in it's city limits I think), the closest is over an hour away and timewise wouldn't be much different than just going to an Asian market (I would assume the Asian market would be better, but maybe not).

To put it another way, the songs in Walk the Line were made far before the movie and they are not singing the events of his life nor the events of the movie. Yes, the interactions they set up for the movie, during the songs between Cash and Carter add depth, but you would not need to rewrite the...

Thanks for the recommendations. I have the option of HEB (best store in Texas) and Wal-Mart (trashiest store in the country). It's kinda funny, and a sign we don't have many Asians living out in this part of Texas (?), as HEB has 18 items when searching for "dumplings", half of which are not...

For the most part "musical" movies are also on stage/Broadway productions, so that's an easy place to start, but that's not exactly it and there is more too it. Wikipeadia has Tommy, The Wall, and The Blues Brothers as musicals, whereas Walk The Line and The Doors are both biographical films...

I wouldn't consider Walk the Line or The Doors to be musicals, they are movies about music. As in, people don't just burst out in song mid plotline, singing their "dialog" instead of saying it.
