    You may have already mentioned this, but do you have an enclosed pen/barn for them? I vaguely remember, from when I was a kid, some of the farms (horses mostly) I visited would have heat lamps running in each pin if it got too cold for the (young/smaller?) animals. I think they had them up high...

    The Last of Us

    But the format doesnt match It needs more multi quotes to make it annoying to read also something about winning and how you have been owned for the 100th time.

    I wonder what it's built to withstand, and for how long. You would think Cat 2 hurricane strength winds would eventually break shit. Also, they set the record wind chill for the station at -109F earlier this morning, purportedly.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    The robot episode stacks up about the same as the other Clone Wars robot episodes, and I should have known to just skip it entirely. Instead I got about half way through before stopping and it made me lose interest for a bit. I picked it back up today with the treasure hunting episode and it...

    Hidden Underground "City" in use from at least 700 to early 1900's; mostly by the Rūm Christians trying to hide from the Muslim invaders and later, overlords. They also saw the Mongols pass over their heads a few times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaymakli_Underground_City

    I have had microwave bacon, oven bacon, and cast iron skillet bacon. I now cook my bacon in a cast iron skillet because bacon requires a debt of pain be paid, from the grease splatter, for such violent delights. Really though, I find the stove top the easiest to clean up to an acceptable level...

    The Netflix Thread

    I have never done this, as I dont have much of a need (outside of checking security cams when out of town) but there are a whole slew of retail routers that let you set up your own household VPN. You should be able to have any "family" member you trust connect to your personal VPN and then be...

    They don't make a polishing bit for the CNC? Something that is "soft" where it might take 3 or 4 passes to even notice anything is happening? Maybe a process you would need to learn how to adjust the wood/software to accommodate it. That ply looks real good though; don't see any voids for...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    Who did they add? I've only watched/listened to season 2 and 3. Ashly was a "permanent" member that constantly had to go off on live action acting jobs in season 2. It looks like she was in the same boat as Pike in season 1? Also, season 3 had a long term guest "brown" (Robbie) that was better...

    Yea, the director's main fuck up was saying that the vast majority of people wouldn't know about the Jedi. Their is a case for the outer rim planets to have little or no education system that would cover how the various galaxy's government systems are set up. More so due to the fact that there...

    Emu and Ostrich meat have the same problem that Alpaca and Llama wool have, in that it's trying to start from scratch, and compete with industries that have been around for 100s of years. They might be able to get a decent market share at some point, but it's way too early in the process to be...

    And I can say you are vastly overestimating them. I can find examples after examples of idiots getting quizzed on the street about simple questions, and getting them wrong; which are as meaningful as "I know a lot about pearl harbor, so a bunch of other people should know about 9/11." I am sure...

    I would doubt that many of those under 25, in the US, could tell you much of anything about the twin towers. A good chunk would probably even get the country wrong. Even for those under 30, less than a quarter could probably name the organization that claimed responsibility for it. But yea, to...

    Yea, that might be a bit more of a hard sell, at least after watching The Clone Wars and Rebels, where people seemed to at least know of Jedi, even if they had never met one before. I guess you could (if being generous) write it off as the Empire scrubbing that information from the holonet...

    Spy: (SciFi) Counterpart - 2 seasons - It was good while it lasted. The Stars network corpo fuckwits canceled it because they wanted to tailor their programing to "premium women" (Outlander audience). I still think it's worth a watch, even if it's cut short. Homeland - First season is great...

    There are no perfect analogous situations from real life were we could really compare their situation to ours, but think how ignorant the average person is about history. They want to paint the people of Ferrix as living a hard life, where there is little time to learn of their own history, let...

    You may need to order around what your equipment can handle. I wouldn't think bird feed would be that heavy, a half of a pallet (bag) of feed shouldn't weigh more than a ton or ton and a half? There are various hoist options that can lift that; as long as the bags are designed for such. If you...

    /who is broke and only shows people in your shard (or some such nonsense). They turned sharding up to 11 in this xpac, to the extent that when I will do a /who on a friends guild (on the same low/med pop server), it will show 3 or 4 people on, when there are 10+. Due to the fact that /who...

    I have half of the trades (LW, BS, JC x 2, & Alchemy) at 100, with the others all over 50 and @Foggy is correct. Crafted items are BiS for most classes for at least 2 slots, so no one is burning sparks just for skill ups. In the first weeks, it was easier to catch people needing stuff made...

    There are also some antique vehicles that are "limited" to around 55 mph due to gearing. Especially some pickup trucks from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. You said 80s though, so those don't count.

    Underrated/Overrated Video Games

    Overrated: Games I don't like. Underrated: Games I do. Example: Elden Ring is overrated, since I found the lore and storytelling below average, and the game mechanics repetitive and a bore. Exploration was ok, but invisible walls in the middle of roads piss me off.
