    Bethesda needs to hire this guy as lead QA tester. He broke the save mechanism in the first 10 seconds.

    Let's build some pools!

    I've seen some pretty cool shipping container pools with transparent sides, along the lines of this. Small, but neat idea and I imagine is a cost-effective way to put a pool on a slope. I'd be tempted to put two full sized containers end to end for lap swimming.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Depending on how deep modders can get under the hood and optimize, maybe there's hope for making the world have fewer seams? It looks like maybe they started out having a zoneless world and punted due to engine limitations...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Goat is OK. It's both milder and slightly gamier than beef, if that makes sense. I don't mind it but won't go out of my way to find it, but that's probably just my palate being biased towards the more traditional Western meats. My wife loves it, but she's Chinese. I'm sure it would be great...

    FYI this is 30% off on steam right now.

    Health Problems

    Not so much pain, but I have an intermittent allergy to sweating (Cholinergic urticaria). It only happens after I've been doing several hours of major exercise and get deeply dehydrated. The next day, the first time I do anything that makes me perspire it's like someone injected poison ivy into...

    David Eddings

    Wow, that's fucked. If you still want the ebooks (Eddings or any others that are hard to find), I'm sure you can hoist your digital Jolly Roger and head over to:

    No Man's Sky

    I'm in the same boat trying to play with my kids. Minecraft is the obvious choice for collaborative base-building, with the bonus that it will run fine on a potato. If you don't want to do that, Valheim was also a good experience.

    No Man's Sky

    Skim the comments; there are some technical quirks with multiplayer that might or might not be annoying for you.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I should have mentioned that unless I can figure out how to leave the PC in a central location, the run is ~80 feet. AFAIK that exceeds the HDMI spec for reliable transfer. I know there are repeaters and boosters, but I've not heard good things about the latency introduced.

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I know this isn't exactly the right thread, but I'm curious if knows if it's possible to set up multiple access points to a single PC. I recently moved to a new house, drew the short straw, and lost my dedicated office. I do work in my bedroom during the week but on the weekends want to game...

    Home buying thread

    What'll blow your mind even more is that the market is still tight in LA/SF where these people you're complaining about are moving out of. A nice 3/2 in a good school district is $1.5M. No one paying those prices is getting paid hourly. The math doesn't work, as you say. You're almost...

    You can get a jig/kit at your big box store for like $20. Edit: What he linked.

    Some fuckwit the other day was trying to tell me they made a sequel to The Matrix, too. What are these people on?

    Of course not, but under hyperinflation you get to pay your fixed debt with monopoly money.

    Much like Twitter, the world would be better off if we pretended Twitch didn't exist.

    Yes. *EER is BTU/W, assuming the unit is performing at spec.

    Just skimming some reviews, this one is 15 SEER for $250. That saves just under half the electricity for the same cooling. You can do the math on how long you think it runs and figure out a payback period.

    The Astronomy Thread

    We don't get them here because they hit Jupiter instead. If our solar system didn't have Jupiter to clear out asteroids, Earth would be a very different place. Edit: Actually this may be bullshit.

    This is what I wanted. I might actually go play NMS again instead.
