    What vehicle do you drive?

    The 2024 Z51 page does specify a different gear ratio for the package and it mentions an Electronic controlled LSD (eLSD). So that can certainly make it a bit confusing when just reading over it. GM's website has all the C8 LT1 stats listed, it's just hidden behind the menus (the "mechanical"...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    All C6, C7, and C8 trims should have limited slip differentials. The Z51/Zo6/ZR1 might have different ratios, depending on the package or year. Performance wise was your previous Jag a proper track car? All I really know about them is that they look good, but so does the Challenger, Mustang...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    There is no fear just never think about them and again, I don't eat at restaurants (usually). Are there a particular recipe names I should look at or just "Asian dumplings" recipe?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Depends on how long you plan to hold it. Physical gold certainly seems like a secure investment, but you need to hold it for a while to make it worth the trouble of buying/selling/shipping. I trust paper gold less than I trust Bitcoin.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I was being funny, in that, all that I saw were those 5 things, because we never really ate Chinese food. I have lived in many places, but for the first half of my life I lived in small all-white towns. No Asians to make Asian food there. Then I spent a few years in a medium city, where there...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Not really explaining them, no. Just saying stuff like "going to go get some dumplings, brb" and "damn these dumplings are great"... multiple times a month. If it was during a 40m raid break there was a lot of chatter and that kinda stuff goes in passing, like everyone just assumes that everyone...

    The Acolyte

    *shrug* I liked all the factory prison episodes as some nice world building on how the empire worked, not to mention how it actually tied into the story line and changing Cassian into what he was/is in Rogue 1. Think I have watched the season 3 times now w/o fast forwarding any of it. On the...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Dumplings were dumplings in my mind. I had never heard of them before the dudes in my guild were raving about how good they were and they seemed to eat them all the time. So that's the recipe I ended up on sometime between 2007 and 2010. I don't exactly remember how I picked that one. My family...

    3 Body Problem

    I read that there is a Chinese made show out there. Kinda curious to give it a watch. Hopefully it's like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie verses the Swedish mini-series, where the mini-series was far superior. Edit: The series from China: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20242042/

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Years of playing MMOs had me guilded/grouped with a lot of various Asian type people (1st to 10th gen from China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan). So after a decade+ of hearing about how good "dumplings" were, I finally looked up a recipe and found this: I was rather dubious of them and it took me a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    No idea of C8 prices, but Corvette Forums is a good place to research them. Of course some/many people are going to be a bit over priced, but you can get a much better idea of what private sales are going for. Also, fuck dealers. It takes me months to get a good handle on vehicle prices and...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I mucked about with the IPTV free side for a short time and didn't think my parents could handle it (I didn't play around with the top guide app though), so no idea if this works, but you could see if some of the IPTV guide apps work with Kodi. Some of them may be able to be linked on a tablet...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Corvette sales has it's ups and downs, but the average is at least half to a quarter of what Mustang/Camaro put out until recently and that's because the Mustang and Camaro production has fallen off a cliff over the last few years. I don't see why the fairly steady Vette production would change...

    I don't see Lady Gaga pulling off a Willy Wonka over the top "serious" movie or South Park all jokes movie. I can think of four musicals I like: Paint Your Wagon, South Park, Willy Wonka, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Half of those are because I watched them as a kid and none of them have shitty...

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    NWN1 has aged the worst out of any old game I have ever tried to replay. It's not like the stories are that connected, so there is no need to play NWN at all to jump into NWN2. Likewise, Mask of the Betrayer has some player character bonuses/carry over for doing the NWN2 campaign, but, from what...

    After years growing up with my family overcooking pork until it's dry lumps of cardboard, I can't eat much pork anymore. It's basically pulled pork, bacon, and a single pork chop recipe for me. Here is the pork chop recipe, since pork chops are still cheapish, this recipe can be pretty cheep...

    As a non-book reader, I didn't find it bad, but I had low expectations going in since it's on Netflix, along with reading some posts here, plus the IMDB reviews about wokeness and a kinda funny complaint about smoking. I wouldn't be too surprised if they didn't spoil the ending with heavy...

    All I see is the speckle red custom carbon fiber D-style steering wheel, which is also a "racing" upgrade, I guess. I don't know what Jag offers, so maybe the seats and the parts of the dash with red accent are custom as well, but they don't look "bad." I've looked at a lot of custom, after...

    If you mean the hood, seen this in the racing community when people were upgrading the car as money is coming in or household budget allows. So a dude might buy a hood but not paint it because they cant afford/don't care/need it as a daily driver or don't plan on painting it because they like...

    If anyone really wants them right away, I've read that you can use cheat engine to add in Rift Crystals. Don't think my 970 will run this game, so no way to check, and this game certainly doesn't warrant an upgrade, nor paying full price. I also checked if CreamAPI works to enable all the DLC...

    WOTC has some in house developed program that they want to sell to dungeon masters to make "digital" PnP D&D games. Never underestimate inner office politics and it's ability to sabotage any possible smart decision.

    Yea, I'm pretty sure this has has been discussed before around the forum, but pulled pork is pretty cheap when you can catch the various cuts on sale. Shoulder/butt is often the best for price and once it's done cooking it's not too difficult to pull out the big chunks of fat, which makes it...

    Bone-in chicken and rice casserole is excellent. You can add your personal favorite spices to make it even better. I like to add cayenne pepper and paprika or Italian mix. I thought of a "cheap" from scratch recipe that I cook now: Shakshuka

    Cowboy Kent had some interesting videos on the chuck wagon, cast iron cookware tricks, and cowboy coffee, but never made any of his recipes. Cooking meals at home is step one for eating on a budget, which, if the fake/gay news is to be believed, seems like way too many people have a problem...
