I would only take a DNA test for medical purposes, but they are much more expensive I think. I'm generally indifferent to the family tree stuff as they promote learning about history but also seem kinda gimmicky: "You are 99.99% peasant but look at the single person of royal blood that lived...

We are hopefully within 5 years of the adoption of factories being able to buy their own self contained mini-reactors. It will be interesting to see how things play out once those are a proven technology and available to a wide swath of corpo interests, not just the domain of a handful of power...

This. We stayed in a small AirBnB prefab house a few years ago. It was less than a year old at the time and they have come a long way since the "trailer park" days that come to mind when I hear prebuilt house. The biggest issue is probably going to be insulation, where it will burn more energy...

Back 5+ years ago, I had one running for a few years, but it seemed to get less and less effective over time. Plus I had to keep whitelisting sites, like various shopping and social media websites, that other people wanted to use. I've read that it can still work fairly well for various tablet...

No idea what the industry standard/average contract is for licensing. Larian has never released official numbers, so anything on how much money the game made are just educated guesses.

$90 mil just for licensing: https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-has-made-90-million-for-hasbro

As someone who hasn't really watched the original since it aired when I was a kid, I thought Cyclops and Rogue mostly sounded as I remember them. Storm wasn't terrible either.

The underlying message in that WSB post is that "insider trading" is so pervasive that by the time you, a retail investor, hear of a "tip" it is already "priced in." The prevalence of HFTs and the skill of the people that continually develop them also feed into the "insider trading is...

If you don't want to take my word on it, it's the best MCU show according to @Aldarion, a few pages back!

You will have to watch She-Hulk to learn the answer to that question.

Don't think I have ever seen an Aston I didn't like or want, but alas, a fleet of Astons is a bit outa my price range. Edit: Then I actually go look at the new Aston and "...look how they massacred my boy." Are the competing with BMW for who can eventually turn the whole front end into one big...

If there is actually a choice between the two (and putting aside "the CCP's heavy hand is bad, so TikTok is bad") YouTube is usually a better format to watch on a PC. In that regard, YouTube shorts are just as "shitty" as TikTok.

Corvettes have the best performance to price ratio and drive nothing like heavy Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, or even Jags. It not only beats them all in the quarter, it will leave them in the dust on the corners. Only Porsche and cars that cost over $100k can really out perform it in both...

Use NoScript to disable TikTok from loading altogether:

Lies! Hawkeye was the best thing in the MCU since Endgame, by far; Loki was mediocre. It's not bad, but I'll will never watch it again and it would be totally forgettable, if they let that whole plotline die with Jonathan Major's career.

My interest in the movie fell into the gutter after seeing the TVA in the trailer, but it slowly worked it's way back up a little bit by then end. It's still less than it was, but I'll probably see it as soon as it comes out on a streaming platform.

Cathedral is a large step up in difficulty over Armory, whereas Armory has most issues for groups, on bosses, Cathedral had shitty trash too; packs, pats, and runners would all get people in trouble fast. It's been a while, but I think it was the monks that would just chew through anyone they...

Hard to get excited about anything Star Wars (other than Andor) after the mediocre last season of Mando and the terrible Boba Fett. The animated side, in Bad Batch and Tails is better, but still not close to as good as the finally 3 seasons of Clone Wars or the last 2 seasons of Rebels.

I concur. I like that I can use Win11's auto size feature (by dragging a window to the side of the screen) to resize windows faster on my 32" side monitor in vertical/portrait. It makes for stacking windows a bit cleaner.

This is a bollard This is one failing on ship launch(?): Closer view:

You can probably get used to a lot of different set ups, as long as you can read everything. I used to use a 42" TV main, with a 27" IPS as a secondary and it was manageable. With both of them next to each other, I could defiantly notice the 27" monitor was superior for text and would sometimes...

Depending on the cost to fix that, would be worth investing in one of the various types of heavy duty quick dam type set up? It would have probably still added risk (in at least that particular case), since the edge of the pool dig out is so close to the fence and your adding weight on top, but...

Made me curious to go look, even though I'm not playing. The plate set has 1% more to hit and the leather set has +3 daggers. Does that mean duel wield is better for warriors than 2h weapons (I vaguely remember duel wield warriors till Asscandy dropped, maybe)? Also, hit used to be the most...

Cold or room temp baked Yukon Golds (with fresh ground garlic salt rubbed on the skin while baking) aren't bad in rush. If you need something more, you can use a knife to spread some sour cream on before each bite. I could see them as a good poopsocking food, instead of the probable junk food I...

You don't have to have ever used one to know what they are, at least. I know in the 50s and 60s they had huge lots of public electric shavers, but the big white wall at one side of the lot, to advertise the service, was probably a bit of an overkill. Obligatory pic:

What's this, some AI bullshit? There is only one Highlander movie, or at least only one that I have ever seen.

There were no fake franchises on mine:

If your reading Dark Mater as anything more than "this is our best guess because all of our other ideas have failed in some way" you are doing it wrong. Of course it's "wrong" because it's just a placeholder for future discoveries. As in, all our current models, which have fewer errors in them...

Wat? They just layered proper proportioned continents (mostly) onto a blue background, that in no way represents the size of the oceans. While it is neat to seem them all in one frame, Google maps allows you to zoom out and see everything in accurate proportions, including the ocean.

Yar, I have only ever seen it used (probably in articles/videos about history or economics) as what Wiki has listed as "core" and wasn't sure about South Africa since I don't concern myself much with them.

As I have always seen it used, the anglosphere is Great Brittan, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Ireland, and the the US. I would take Chris focusing on just those countries is because the current progressive political rift is more pronounced in them and "wokeness" is viewed as...

Those are some impressive looking beasts, but can a horse do anything a motorcycle or ATV cant?

It shows how nonchalant they ran the show, I guess. So it's not a stretch to think their actions eventually affected the writers room; especially since Seth is one of the writers.

Everyone but McFarlin and Grimes have heard the saying "you don't shit where you eat." The story is that Seth fucked the one chick that left after season 1 and Grimes fucked, married, then divorced (inamicable) with Palicki in less than a year; it may have been bad enough that they couldn't be...

Being that it was in EA for so long, and the the face of the game, I think they kinda let chapter 1 get away from them. On the other hand, some people like being at max power for X amount of time in games too. Even if XP was a bit tighter, with the alternate paths allowing players to skip/miss...

Well, first, even when having a healthy stack of gold, I liked to farm my own mats when I was just making stuff for myself. Second, my server had jacked up prices, where bots didn't seem to deflate the cost of mats nearly as much as other servers. There were farm bots running, but not enough to...

Recently, I only know of the BoT misdeeds from videos put out by the likes of Asmond, as I am not playing SoD. I have seen and competed (usually farming nodes) with bots throughout my times playing retail wow though, and while a bit frustrating at times, it never got out of hand on my backwoods...
