    Ancient Civilizations

    This is pretty cool. Turn of the 20th century an Egyptologist from Italy went in here. This location is not at Giza and he excavated it up until the breakout of WW1. It was later used to shoot a few scenes in the film the Land of the Pharaoh in 1955 but eventually had the site put in the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    He's taken time off before. So it sounds like he is just whining this time. Dude is definitely taking the hard path realizing that being an actual adult is dealing with tons of responsibilities you wish you didn't have. But you do so you keep on trucking. I do partially get it. Asmon was a...

    Ancient Civilizations

    This one is enjoyable. Doesn't waste time on that underwater thing that Graham Hancock has such a raging hardon for. I've read about the Nogarushi quarry before. Basically, the site is full of Edo period quarrying marked by Edo clan insignia and documented by the court of the Shogun as part of...

    Not sure I understand. I don't care about redundancy per se. I thought 2 bay is just for s 2 drives of storage. I don't need more than a 2 drive NAS.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Jennifer Connelly was truly one of the finest pieces of ass ever to grace this world. Career Opportunities is a masterpiece just for that lol. Better song to that same video.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Arguably the first rock single. ~1947. Called Rhythm and Blues from ~1930 onward in the South until then.

    Im going to try this as well thanks for the tip. Firefly is kinda cool but it would take me a solid 3 months to get it into a remotely viable state for me and a year to reach half the functionality this has.

    Fascinating. Expert manipulation of the concept of FOMO, such as Fortnite uses. But instead makes a dumbass banana game and sells it for nothing. Even more dumbass the artificial scarcity of dumbass bananas allows them to get huge profits off of the secondary banana market. God I hate people.

    @Gravel Seems here in TX they reduce your property tax by a percentage in line with your VA disability rating. At 100% you pay no property taxes. That seems reason enough for me to also see if I can get even 10%.

    All of my family live on the south Oregon Coast. East Washington is mostly high desert, Oregon is too for that matter. But the central corridor there from the Cascades down is great. You are correct it doesn't really snow on the coast. Even in Oregon. You have to get to far north Washingon and...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Solid as hell? Did I watch the same bullshit you just did? Looks super mid. Reminds me of Ubisoft's latest Creed game. Having a linear path to travel down and fight lol enemies with 3 loaded skill slots screams that this was meant to be played on mobile.

    Ancient Civilizations

    No doubt there are tons of dumbass grifters in on this. Guaranteed. But there are also many times where mainstream academia blatantly ignored contradictory evidence when it didn't fit the mold. See Clovis and Glaciation as just very basic examples. Look again at the ancient Celtic Sites in...

    Ancient Civilizations

    You are referring exclusively to American Protestant Christian Fundamentalists. This is the only group that take the scripture of as exact literal truth and thus force themselves to bend reality to make it also forensically true. This is a fringe group of Christians in the best of cases.

    Ancient Civilizations

    Well you need to look at the major part of it logically. Logically, humans will build things out of things that humans can move around. Leading to the obvious rational conclusions of uniform bricks as seen throughout the known world. Sumerians figured that one out and their tar sealed sun dried...

    Doom 2016 was a masterpiece. Eternal was good and this one will also be metal as fuck. But 2016 is by far the best.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

    I recommend giving the first one another go. It has a real rough beginning but opens up a lot as you get some more game knowledge. Doesn't really hold your hand about anything either and has a good amount of complexity. At least for its time.

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    The Darkspawn were quite uninteresting in Origins. As they are more like a force of nature and you thus didn't really have much of a compelling antagonist like Sarevok or Irenicus. They just destroy shit and come up from the underdark every generation or so when they wake up one of the old...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Dragon Age II shit up this series so much that I never even bothered with Inquisition. Despite it being at least okay. One thing I did really love about the original Dragon Age was that it toyed with the idea of "hidden classes" so to speak. Where you only got the Blood Mage class if you went...

    Yeah, my old house was a standard 3/2 in a very normal neighborhood on the outskirts of Austin. You could buy that for $180 or less in 2015. That same house costs you $400+ now and the jobs out there are mostly the same. How do you afford that? That said, I am looking at buying a summer house...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Agile is prone to breaking down much faster than waterfall is due to the above. Knowing all the requirements before you start coding? That's the kind of thing I jack off thinking about.
