First, it will depend on what you and your daughter consider fun. I agree with most that the 2-3 hour drive from Houston to Austin is worth it for both food and a number of sights in Austin to see. Dallas/Ft Worth can be nice for some things. In the winter there will also be Stars hockey...

Correction. We still need Luke, we DON'T need Mark Hamill. This pains me to say ,as someone for whom the character as portrayed by him was a huge influence on my life growing up (Star Wars was literally the first movie I remember seeing in a theater), but they do need a recast Luke. Someone...

I think for a lot of people it was that the first was just to different from everything they had seen in the genre before. And that made it a special movie for a lot of folks. But subsequent stories in the same style will never be "like your first time"....

Depending on how you go about analyzing and what use you're going to do with it, have you considered a tool that simply crawls the site and stores a local copy for "offline viewing" then go at it from that front? I'm looking at a similar idea because I want to keep an offline archive of certain...

So. I'm rebuilding an old semi-retired desktop rig of mine into a VM running system and NAS for my house. So far the spec is filled out as such.. I7 with 4 cores (8 logical processors) 64gb RAM PCIe 2TB drive for boot 4x 7tb HDD's for RAID 5 storage space. The Motherboard (and older ASUS...

I just wanted to drop in and say a hearty FUCK YOU to Diablo for running the WoW Token price through the dammed roof. That is all.. Carry on.

So a story of opulence... and my fat ass. Years ago (almost 15 in fact) I found the perfect office/desk chair. Sealy manufactured, with individually wrapped spring coils in the seat and a layer of memory foam on top of it. A perfect nest for my lard ass while both gaming and the fact that I...

Just to irritate you more... We're about to repaint. Going with beige/tan/browns neutrals and off white for trim. Painting over the one thing I've never liked about this house, the salmon colored brick. Accent color (i.e. what the door will be)? Tardis Blue. (Door has square windows on it...

Went to see this with @Mrs. Haus today. Only thing which surprised me was the run time. I didn't think they'd go as long as they did with it. But there was enough to cover and pacing was good so it didn't feel to me like it lagged at all. So far this is, IMHO, the best stuff around a Marvel...

You know about this.. right? https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/9/23592839/spider-man-noir-amazon-series-live-action Although I don't know if Cage will be in it if it's live action.

It's like how I just don't get this new trend for "rustic" roughly finished wood being used for shudders and patio columns. To the point they'll take normal columns and box cover them in cedar apparently??? Then they wonder when in a couple years it looks like crap.

So essentially.... They've sold a lot less than, but cut so much in costs they're EPS shot up higher than expected.... I am not so sure we should be happy about that.

To borrow a phrase from the crypto circles.... "Don't make friends with the exit liquidity...."

I had a number of them including the "duck" and mixed and matched a ton. Not to mention blended in some parts and pieces from other things I had around. That little "pilots capsule" ended up being part of a mass number of hodge podge toy creations of mine... Unrelated and truly random :

Debt limit raise will get through. Enough democrats will vote with republicans to nullify any freedom caucus objections. More interesting will be how the Freedom Caucus got this "we can vote to pick a new speaker" clause in, and if that might get triggered. I'm sure McCarthy is greasing...

Also forgot these nuggets... Deal I've been working on for 2 years at work which needs to close by July to get my maximum pay on it now looks like it's gone from a lock to around 50/50 of closing in July. And the crew that was supposed to be working on my house this week all had to delay a...

I dunno G. I went out of my way to make sure the interior of my caddy was wood trim and kona brown leather everywhere. (Smelled like a newly oiled baseball mitt when I got it... *chefskiss*) As for rustling my jimmies? This week, en whole. Monday started off with a blowout on a runflat on...

On the topic of "uploading consciousness" , I honestly don't think we'll get to that point until we can definitely say what consciousness is. And it's a hang up of people wanting to still be "themselves" in a different existence model. I also don't think we'll be digitally reproducing...

Let's not bury the lead that "Bitcoin" is apparently a company now.....

Honestly I think the "Mighty Thor" Jane Foster story line was equally wasted. They took two really deep , dark and potentially fantastic storylines, and sacrificed them at the altar of Wahtiti's ego for a bad rom com.

Please to be noting the position of the Oakland Athletics...

I guess I'm lucky that I don't need a prescription, but do need reading glasses. So I can go the cheap route on Amazon. Those are progressives, but slightly heavier.... Then I use these for daily wear Literally $5 a pair... But sometimes I have to go all Tommy Lee Jones and push them...

OK, Question in case anybody else had run into this... I am building up a new home lab/VM/Plex/NAS box. Using a semi-retired PC of mine for it with added memory and HD space. Current spec : Boot device : 1TB SSD Storage : Raid 5 array of 4x 8tb drives (this is where the problem is...) Memory...

I get why the parts were there as story arc. There were a couple small bits I thought went past where they needed to. For the sake of the waning power of spoiler protection I'll hold off on exactly what, but it was one particular scene (which was important, but went past where I thought it...

Funny story about Ford... I own a tiny spot of it. Purchased on a lark because I had a spare $100 sitting in an e-trade account back in March of 2009. Bought it because that was when the US automakers were suckling the government teat and Ford was the one who didn't take a loan.. It's shot up...

Saw this tonight. I agree with the general consensus, better than vol 2, not as good as vol 1. Yeah, the animal stuff was no bueno in my book. A certain wife of mine cried a couple times over that. Still a solid wrap up for this Guardians "era".

Yep, although for me I've had it twice always the same place on my body (shin). My doctor told me that's not uncommon for it to be localized and I was probably lucky it didn't localize somewhere like my face, scalp, crotch, armpit, or oh... my eyes. Which apparently happens to some people...

Yeah, we lost a dog like this. In our dog's case they checked and she had developed a mass which put pressure on her pancreas and essentially shut it down. You go downhill fast with no pancreas it would seem, with the most notable symptom being massive sugar situations. For me it was a slight...

Getting a "Wes Anderson does a period piece" vibe off that trailer.. NGL.

Yeah. But I guess we will now see what Justified is when it has no Boyd Crowder. I figure it will hopefully still be solid, but Boyd was as much of that shows real punch as Raylan was.

I've thought about this as well. I'm VERY familiar with the trailer park concept. I come from a rather redneck lineage and trailer parks do play a significant role. I even have a brother in law living in one right now. The real full scope of my master plan. In a PERFECT scenario... There...

I have a sub 3% note on my current house with under $100k left on it. My game plan is to have enough to put down on land outside town by a good bit., build there, then make my current house into a rental and move out of the city.

https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/texas-committee-passes-bill-create-100-reserve-gold-and-silver-backed-transactional Whereas I will admit I did have "Texas makes it's own currency" in a far corner of my bingo card, I did NOT have "Texas creates a gold and silver backed digital currency" on it.

Need to keep you feisty Star Wars fans in your place a bit i see...

Since it's the 4th and all.. A few shots fired...
