So I still haven't pulled the trigger on a smoker yet. Waiting to see if black Friday holds any surprises, but currently leaning towards this : https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pit-Boss/5013683729 I had a couple deals hit at work so I have some "Treat Yo Self" money to go through.... As I think was...

In today's suggestion list to review.. Apparently Christmas is really in full swing already :

The "double beat but lowering forward looking guidance" is a common thread for tech stocks right now. Also the cost of money is causing billings totals to sag and lag, while revenue isn't falling. Which is kinda odd. Between cost of money and inflation customers are becoming more weary of...

At the high level I am hearing the reasoning this actually makes sense. Metaphysical frozen spikes shooting up through things but not people because they're there to inspire fear in the people which leads to the "fear based freezing to death" which actually kills them. I can see a logic there...

Make the dealership fix the fuckup of course... But I had to do a 2 day work trip to Houston, so it sat in my garage (as it was in theory drivable, but missing some panels on the underbody) in case @Mrs. Haus had to leave the house when I was in Houston. (picked it in her fucked up state up on...

If you include the token as the in-game currency on the chain the items are on it would effectively give cryptographic protection from gold and item duping for starters. If you use a known existing cryptocurrency (probably with a low gas rate, like $matic or somesuch) then you also have...

Saw an interesting theory... Secret Invasion was really the plot for Captain Marvel 2, but they thought it would have a better chance without her so re-wrote it to be a Nick Fury series.

This has been part of my angle on the real usability of NFTs. In game items, documents which need to be digitally authenticated, etc. It would be something akin to WoW where all items rare or higher are NFTs. You wouldn't see any of this in-game. Other than that when you generated your...

Here's a question. As someone who didn't watch season one because I heard in advance what a load of nonsensical grrrl boss they were throwing in. Would I be able to watch/enjoy season 2? As it sounds like it was much better.

I should add the other two in the collection from the founding fathers..

I have a set of these, and utterly love them for when tinkering on things. You can literally buy a kit with all the metal parts and a list of what to cut to what size to build a shed. You've probably spent more time trying to find someone to do it for you than it would have taken you by now....

Well, the source material (Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run) had a lot of queer aspects in it. They played a bit of it heavier in the adaptation, but not over the top and not making any really massive changes outside of I think they created the fact that Larry Trainor was gay, I don't recall...

I've lost multiple pets in the last few years. And we've realized that it's worth it to have it done (assuming you can plan on when) at home. I just think about if I'd rather go in a weird place I didn't like around doctors I didn't like, or go to sleep at home surrounded by my things, my...

Not actually.... I have a real world case in point. My in-laws (Boomers in the 65-75 age range) just decided to downsize, and against my suggestion/coaching they decided to do it by just selling their house and moving into an apartment. They got a pretty penny for the house, but are now...

He didn't what he was talking about. The car is around 6 years old and worth (looking at offers I've gotten) around 25k. (2017 CTS Vsport) Yeah, I have one which I have taken the wife's car to. Great guy named Minh who runs a little shop called Jacinto's Automotive in the back corner of a...

So I decided that I wanted to swap out keycaps. I use compressed air on my keyboard on the regular, but popped off they keys and see the shame of my saltine cracker eating habit laid bare.....

Follow up car rant.... Take my car (mentioned previously) to the dealership to get the "experts" to determine what is causing the whirr sound. Drop it off a week and a half ago. They bounce it between different "specialist" groups. Finally today they let me know. Oh, we can tell there's...

I saw the most recent commercials for this during NFL football yesterday. It's to the point they're completely minimizing showing ANY of the characters faces, focusing on Nick Fury's voice track and showing CGI. That shows you what they think the things people won't hate about the movie are...

Take THAT.. Dieticians!

Any time in the last 10 years I've dealt with any type of contractors or getting work done on my house there's always a surcharge for paying with CC. It's consistently been 3%. When I did my patio room renovation I literally went to the bank, and paid $3 for a sheet of checks (since I haven't...

It's Saturday night... in my book, that's TATER TIME

I know I'm probably an outlier but for me it's that I'm in cybersecurity sales. And the nature of my work is base pay + commission , and it's usually starve, starve, starve, HUGE ASS DEAL, starve, starve, starve... As such I have learned to live completely off the base pay and then the...

This is why I'm a proponent of "Just put the card fee on like a tax, pay with cash, save the 2-3%". See how fast some people move back to cash, and stop imposing a penalty on the merchant.

True, but also if it's through Fidelity they could inadvertently become the easiest to use Fiat on/off ramp so long as their services include "Send crypto to my wallet for cold storage" and "receive crypto from an external source" (which they would have to do if they wanted people to move their...

But the crypto nerd in me will keep repeating the holy mantra.... "Not your keys.. not your coins.." Are they just doing this as a custodial? Or are they developing an actual wallet with keys and such to store? Looking at that the only way it would be able to do those things would probably...

We might still have a problem...

That was actually a clapback to something one of the Astro's said when they backed into the division title because the Ranger's lost the last game of the season....

Turning off entertainment center : Tested that last week. No difference. Turning climate control completely off : Same : no Difference. I figured I'd give the dealer a shot before I go to the point of testing/disabling things under the hood, which is where I'm at now. And worst part (which...

Did the RPM check. Got to 40, put it in neutral, revved engine. Whirring sound goes up in pitch directly correlated to RPM, and down when RPM subsides, regardless of moving speed. Yeah, this afternoon is going to be a call with the shop as to what they have determined, and seriously...

Since I have shrimp in there a bunch of those balls are tourmaline (which give shrimp beneficial minerals). That thing that looks like a kettle bell is actually a sentimental/historical thing. So it's aquarium story time with Haus! When @Mrs. Haus and I first started dating she had seen that...

The other oddity is that it starts once I get past 20mph. And there's a faint audible click when it starts. Then if I go under 18-20mph there will be another faint click and it will stop. So it's something that's engaged/disengaged. Seriously thinking about one of those noise trackers and...

Yeah, my current suspicions are either the transmission, or one of the two turbos (which operate off RPM obviously, but only kick in when in gear and needed... Which is exactly when and how I hear this sound) Sounds like that gadget from Amazon might be worth it if I have to solve this mystery...

I think the biggest thing said in the last few pages of this thread are that the super hero movie genre as a whole has gotten to the point that not only are they producing crap, they're producing such forgettable crap that many of us have forgotten the crap (i.e. Shang-chi, Eternals, etc...)

On a trailer next to me as I was driving home the other day...

Took my car to the dealership because I can't figure out what's causing a whirring I have heard whenever I accelerate since I took a shredded 18 wheeler blowout across the front of my car. (only happens when in gear, but somehow the whirrr varies it's pitch to my RPM, not my wheel speed) It's...

Replanted my 20G tall and added decorative colored shrimp (Red, Orange, Blue, and some striped orange).. who promptly hid and I haven't seen them since... Asshole shrimps.. The tank... This tank has actually be running for almost 10 years now. The fish you see are like the great...
