This might be purely anecdotal... But I had a 2010 Mustang which was just a workhorse for me with essentially no mechanical issues which I got rid of in 2018 (so yeah, only 8 years old) when I got my Caddy. And @Mrs. Haus has a 2013 Ford Escape and the only mechanical issues the car has had was...

Damn Gen X birds...

Check for a setting on the TV named something like "motion smoothing" or "Interpolation". You probably turned it off for your old fire stick and the TV reverted to defaults for the new one. I don't know if the fire stick itself would have a setting for it.

Checking in online for a Urologist appointment I have coming up. Hit the final "ok" button to submit. What pops up next? A God Damned Ozempic ad..... They cannot ban pharma advertising fast enough.

Had a second CT scan follow up on my kidney situation... They discovered another mass, on the OTHER kidney, which the first CT scan didn't catch. So now I have a 25mm+ sized mass on both kidneys, both soaking up enough contrast to make both strong candidates for malignancy. Wondering how...

Relative to the Uranium talk.... Happy morning for my URNM bag. Chart on the daily.... Yes. that's yellow = sma 20, red = sma 200, and the oranges are the 50 and 100. Like I said, it's had a bad YTD, but it's trying and I respect it's pluckiness ;)

This made me go look in depth. Yeah, most of it I purchased in 2021-2022, and have literally ridden it to an ATH and back essentially. Although it's in the bucket I call "Longer Term Stuff" which is ETF's and things I figure on being as the name implies long holds. And that bucket has done...

Holding a medium sized bag URNM right now. It's had a rough last 6 months, I think I'm still in mostly because I'm just stubborn, and still honestly believe in nuclear as the solution to "clean" energy for the next 30-50 years honestly.

Not to mention they're trying to make everything essentially disposable. And the things which need to be repaired, it's whole unit swap outs. I believe in another thread I ran down how I had an odd noise in my transmission at one point, took it to the dealer. They're only option was to swap...

I figured, I also figure it will all be being done by AI within 5 years. So the AI will crank our the result and the radiologist will sanity check it and sign off.

Update : Since I typed up that earlier post I did actually get a text from the radiology place with a link to the full report. Guess my "bad customer service Haus" routine put some fire under their collective asses yesterday. And yeah, after my wife's medical issues she had I taught myself...

And the rustle continues..... I call the Dr again yesterday. They STILL haven't gotten the report from the radiologist. And they tell me "Oh, they say they're waiting for a copy of your PREVIOUS ct scan done at a hospital 2 months ago so they can compare them and then report".... And this...

Pope Leo : "It's 500 miles to the holy land, Popemobile's got a full tank of gas, We've got half a box of communion wafers, It's Sunday, and we're wearing pointy hats.... " Cardinal : Dues Vult! Unrelated somewhat... (Green Jesus)

This has become a pretty regular part of the morbid calculus for me. Since I have a spreadsheet planning out retirement needs, and it has a cell in it for "how long do I REALLY plan on living??" Raised by my grandparents. Lost my grandfather in 97, he was 78. Lost my grandmother in 2010 at...

I was reading a tweet about the Leafs collapse and I wanted to post a reference to how we've been saying this was DEFINITELY the Leaf's year in the thread topic here all season.... Then I realized the icon next to it was a Nazi skeleton next to a burning Christmas Tree....

That's a great deal for $10, but I already have a light for my 40v batteries, that's also an inverter. (But admittedly cost more). It's come in phenomenally handy when we've had some power issues in our neighborhood...

He was not too happy about it... assuming my lip reading is right.. Also, this gave me a reasonable chuckle...

True, and there was an argument to be had for if Steel should have gotten a penalty shot from it. But the league isn't going to let an elimination game be decided in the last seconds on a penalty shot.

Yeah, one of the things which broke my heart in the MCU was how they essentially ruined Planet Hulk and WWH story lines for what was "We need somewhere to have Act II of this movie". Not that I didn't enjoy Ragnarok, I did, but they could have used some other backdrop rather than Planet Hulk...

Yeah, I feel honestly terrible for him. Lose your dad, then get the first goal in a must win playoff game for your team, only to then cause the penalty that puts the other team on the PP into OT and they win on it. But as I am a dyed in the wool Stars fan I'm still glad he didn't pull off the...

I don't have much fear about Fillion as Guy. I think it would be hilarious after his short sting at TDK if he would just keep showing up as characters who never survive more than a movie, and rinse and repeat.... My other dream for him would be since they said the Reyes Blue Beetle is also...

Well, looks like if Dallas is going to win it will have to be a game 7. Just had one of those "fate is going to come into play" events happen... https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45194742/jets-mark-scheifele-uncertain-game-6-death-father

This is my exact goal. So we can get a Stars/Canes finals, and set the stage for "Stanky's Revenge!"

It should also be noted that Moody's is the LAST of the big three to downgrade the US. S&P did it in 2011 Fitch did it in 2023 In both those cases there was a market downturn after. (I think it was 10% in 2011 and 8% in 2023). So the question is if this one will cause the same. There's...

When @Mrs. Haus and I pull off "project peaches" there is a part of me that has thought about building a basic track that surrounds the perimeter of the land (which yes, would be moderately boring lest I throw in some variances, but still) under the auspices of "getting around the property". heh...

Nice to see the Leafs pull one off before they had to start printing Matthews pic on the sides of milk cartons.... I'd much rather than win game 7 and advance than Florida for purely personal reasons. heh

"car adjacent"... A guy is selling his house. Why is this in the car thread? Because it's got a "serious grown ass mans" garage... And it's literally connected to the MotorSports Ranch track in Cresson Texas ;)...

OK.. NOW I'm interested in this game...

The way I see it right now, and this is probably my most optimistic take on it, is that right now everything is just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic while they desperately try to find a way to reboot/rebuild/recreate/recast the whole MCU, and that SHOULD happen in Secret Wars, since...

Just had a conversation with the lovely wife... About shower gel. Tried a new one, it smells nice, she comments (cool). But then adds that I need to pay careful attention that I don't have any adverse skin reaction to it, or some other concerns and I had to brief her on how men's shower...

I was thinking this as well. I think the big reason is probably that a comic accurate Mercy would also be a "do whatever boss man says" loyal woman working for a white man. And we can't have that these days, now can we? They can roll the Engineer in much the same functional role, while...

Are you familiar with Guy in the comics? This was the Guy Gardner haircut long before it was the Lloyd ;) That hairstyle is pretty iconically attached to him. Although they have also done him with a buzz cut. That's the default Guy "look". You can tell from the visuals so far that Gunn is...

Time for Medical Establishment Rustling time with Haus... As documented in other threads, I have a kidney situation going on, which is probably going to necessitate surgery soon. As such the Dr wanted me to get a CT scan last week to monitor the situation and see if it was stable or getting...

Actually both. Vegas and Dallas both advance, then Dallas mauls Vegas IMHO. (Especially since Miro has a certain Knight he wants to see paid back for causing him to miss a huge chunk of the season and now has some moderately beefy enforcers to send to collect.) And I suspect Miro will take a...

And apparently he's skating in practice today , with the intention that he plays tonight unless something bad happens in practice or warmups.

If they get past Edmonton....
