    One Piece

    PRE-WARNING : There are TWO versions of the anime. The American released version which was modified a good bit (called the 4Kidz release), and the OG Japanese release (where you'd have to be into subtitles to follow it, and will probably end up following the One Piece core theme in how you...

    Which they can do just as well with it about 5-6' towards the camera in that shot and let the person using the kitchen not get pissed at them. ;)

    Looking at this I will admit that at first glance I thought 'Hey, that dude left his rolling workbench/toolbox in the kitchen"... But upon further thought, that's NOT a large kitchen. I'll be willing to bet at some point the counter with the sink in it had a peninsula extending out from the...

    Maybe not, but every year as I eat the peaches I prefer I take the pits from them and have been throwing them in dirt. Each year this seems to result in around 6-10 peach saplings. I've been accumulating them in planting containers in my back yard right now. So at some point this year I need...

    Home Improvement

    A note should be that unless they changed it Moen are lifetime gaurantee, so you can sometimes contact them for a warranty replacement cartridge for it. I've actually done that for my wife's shower before.

    What boggles my mind is how many will buy homes in much more expensive areas close in to town, and then work jobs which are predominantly remote. Hell, my current plan is buying somewhere an hour plus outside any notable city and moving there because I can do my job now remote for the most part...

    I'm in a similar situation. Mother lives alone in the house my grandparents purchased in the 50's. She's getting to the point where she might have to move in with us soon which I want to put off, not because I don't love her, but because I know it will drive the woman who makes my dinner...

    I've had RSU's vesting over the last 3 years... Seeing that "We sold this percentage of your vesting RSU's to cover taxes" will never cease rustling my jimmies most violently..... At least they're selling to cover based on the price of the stock the day it was granted, and not the price of the...

    I don't think it is. They want SWIFT reconnected so they can continue to do easily business with the west because they know whatever alternative they're cooking up is not rolling yet. Simultaneous to this we're seeing multiple BRICS countries negotiating for native currency trading...

    Don't know which is worse.... That they're obviously starting a history repeats itself cycle here.... Or that with current house prices AND only needed 1% down, it would STILL take someone a YEAR to save up that down payment.

    Yeah, I play in a single FF league. I picked up a random magazine on the way to the draft that said "fantasy football" and "cheatsheet" on it. Ran my whole draft off that. People sneering and laughing at how I was the only one there without a laptop, just scratching names off a list, and...

    One Piece

    I just had an old friend of mine who has never had ANY exposure to One Piece watch the first episode of this and describe it as... "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World.... WITH PIRATES!" And I can't disagree with that as a synopsis of all of One Piece.

    That fact made for what I though was one of the funniest moments in the JL animated run.... Lex Luthor manages to pull a body swap with Wally West so you have the guy who played Lex on TV playing the flash, acting like Lex..... Sorry for lowres..

    One reason I'm looking for partially wooded land is that in Texas if you have wooded land and it's known that deer/boar/turkey/whatever feed and cross the land during hunting seasons you can get an agricultural tax exemption for "wildlife habitat preservation" so long as you can show that you...

    TBH, A lot of the land I'm seeing that meets my goal profile (20+acres, partially wooded (for hunting), with electric at the road/accessible, preferably water at the road (bonus if it ALSO has a well), bonus points for a pond) Seem to have some type of "hunting cabin/barndominium/single wide" on...

    Even the crappy version of Flashpoint they did on the CW show was better than this steaming heap. And Grant Gustin was also a far more likable Barry. (who honestly acted more like the Wally West Flash, but that's a comic nerd nit pick) As for why he was better... I will credit to a 50/50...

    Again, you seem to think I want to go "back to those days".... For me it's more of a semi-blackpilled factor of knowing we're heading into a dystopian future, and just trying to figure out which dystopian variant we're gonna land on. My current bet is somewhere between Shadowrun and Brazil...

    I'm always wondering at what point these multinational companies are going to take the fight to the government by saying "We manufacture these things in Taiwan/China , ship them direct, they never touch US soil, what authority do you have to tell us what we can't do outside the US?" And the...

    I agree with you, but I think it's a time frame question. I think that between now and real "Weimar style" action inflation we're going to get a period where the fed will THINK it has things under hand, and/or the markets tank to the point they have no option but to try more QE and low rates...
