    Actually I do not have any problems with the various apps and web based streaming services on my PC. Only one which comes to mind which is fucked is Disney+ which pulls me out of full screen mode every time the show episode switches. All the others work flawlessly. That being said the wife has...

    IF there is a twist you can also do this with a router and a jig along with shimming the twist out of piece of wood. Or use a flat board shim it and run through planer.Then you have one side flat. To get other side flat is run it through a thickness planer. Then using one of the flat sides you...

    You can still get oak, maple in your box stores. Its common shit. Up in N Michigan our property is surrounded by state land and that shit gets farmed hardcore. Every year we are up the they are clear cutting some acreage. And its all pretty much oak, maple, cherry and pine. Some areas they...

    Yeah my shit is a 80s model, I called a dude over just last summer because my blower went out and the A coil froze over. I thought it was the blower but turns out it was some circuit board on the furnace itself and the dude even had one in his van. Cost me like $150 and 30 min of the dudes time...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I mean, there are 3 ways that I know of to "bread" something. First is the old flour, egg, crumbs/panko. Second is the old school KFC method of using some type of marinade like buttermilk for example, then just dredging the shit in seasoned flour. 3rd is just using some type of prepared batter...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Since when did China ever give a fuck about patents? They have been copying US and western tech and other shit for decades with no regard for patents or any of hat good shit like trademarks. 3/4 of all items sold on amazon are blatant copies of US products.

    We have a 2011 jeep wrangler sport 5 speed hardtop which was a hand me down from my wifes dad (RIP). He still had the sticker in the glove box which says it was like $21K back in 2011. It has a 3.9 or 4.0 L 6 banger. These things are weird, because they are like collectors things or something...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I played Vanilla Skyrim and it had character, it had a soul, it had good story surrounded by many other smaller tales. The world was huge but yet felt like it was handmade. Nothing like Starfield. Stanfield world to me seems sterile, has no soul, no humor.

    Maybe this will finally put a nail in the coffin for the dumb female heroes bullshit that no one wants to watch. In fact its time to put a few nails for the coffins of all hero movies already.

    Spartacus

    I like anything "Roman" That era in history always fascinated me. I mean just imagine that era of history and it falling apart and then we had the dark ages after where civ took hundreds of years to get back to where the romans were. That being said this was no historical piece, but a dramatized...

    Yeah laser printer is the way to go. We bought ours years ago and its still going. Sometimes like months between printing anything but you just turn it on and it just works. No ink refills, no dry ink, no cleaning of any ink tips or any of that garbage. You can go for like 1000 pages or more...

    Let alone the 60 ton interior granite blocks they used for the interior of the pyramid, which is not even covered in that video. And they supposedly used animal skins to do this. Also in the video you see the kid holding a tiny ass block of limestone and the ballast to make it float is like...

    So yeah, possible, but he does not explain how the fuck they pumped all that water hundreds of feet into the air to fill those shafts. I could see this being possible for the first course, but filling those shafts with water is not a trivial task. He just keeps saying they "pumped" the water in...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Coliseum was built using more "modern" style using concrete, bricks and tiles. Most of it was smaller blocks, lots of concrete and even iron to bind it all together. 300 tones of iron. Not to discount this as a marvel at the time, but the two are not comparable. Not to mention romans already had...

    Like I said, all of hour knowledge is too compartmentalized these days. We have experts in very narrow windows of knowledge. Very few general experts. Too much relying on power tools and tech to solve propblems. And yeah, 80% of the plebs are just plain dumb.

    And then imagine the pyramids themselves. Forget the cutting of the stones.... 3.2 MILLION stones, 2.5 tons average weight of one stone plus some 8000 tons of granite were imported from Aswan located at more than 800 km away. And they would have to be set perfectly because the errors only...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    This was covered to some extent in a podcast I saw recently. The dude on the podcast basically knows the entire physics and math community (because its rather small) and he said that when the gov brain drains the community for some secret program, its pretty apparent by the lack of people in...

    Ancient Civilizations

    I dont buy that providence and timing is beyond question. Since, again you cannot date rocks, its a guess at best, by association. There are even theories that say that the pyramids were not built by the 5000 yr old Egyptians, only moved into. And the further back in time you go the more sketch...

    Ancient Civilizations

    And thats the thing, they cant date stones, only organics. So by them being found with other Egyptian stuff in tombs and other places, archeologists just basically tagged them as being made by Egyptians. Which by all accounts makes sense until you study this more, like its being done now, and...

    The thing you have to understand is that everything in our lives, tech and machine and knowlege wise is all compartmentalized.

    They did find the tools of the Egyptians. Bronze era tools like drills and saws, etc. Modern archeologists say that these statues, the obelisks weighing 100+ tons and the pyramids themselves with some of the stones that were mined 500miles away were all made with bronze tools and sand. :D...
