    David Eddings

    I grew up on Eddings, was some of my first fantasy books in the late 80's and 90's. I enjoyed his books. I would say they would be a good starting point for kids to get into fantasy

    Wheel of Time series

    At least one good thing is that Sanderson finishing wheel of time turned me on to his other works. I used to reread the entire wheel of time series when a new book came out. I had to stop that at book 8 or 9. Haven't gone back since I finished it. Another 5 years or so and I might go back and...

    Wheel of Time series

    Yeah he did because I don't think there was any way he could have wrapped up all the story lines in one book. As it is, there are a lot of dangling plotlines that never got wrapped up.

    From what I read Sanderson was hamstrung in a lot of ways because of Jordans widow. He should have never let his wife anywhere near his books

    Kids learning tube songs stick with you. I find myself singing them at work. Another channel my daughter is really into is Nat and Essie, just two chicks that does unboxing of toys. For some reason she loves those videos.

    I'll second bluey. That show is awesome and my kids love it. My kids watch a lot of kids learning tube on YouTube kids. It's probably better for older kids but a 7 month old would probably like the songs. Blippi is another one they watch a lot of too.

    NVIDIA Shield

    I have 4 shields and love them. Recently though Google pushed an update that put ads on the home page for shows that aren't family friendly so I had to change launchers to get rid of them but that was easy enough. I use RetroArch on them and it's pretty responsive. Have had a lot of fun playing...

    It's been a while since I've read wheel of time but I don't remember people if the two rivers being black. Darker skinned than Rand if I recall. Why can't they just stick to the source material.

    The builder I used told me to walk through the house before the drywall was up and take pictures of every room so I'd know where everything was located. Take pictures of the electrical panel and plumbing manifold. I still refer to those pictures when doing a project in a room.

    I'm looking for a good long range wifi extender. Situation is my family has a couple of cottages, the neighbor is sharing his wifi and it reaches one cottage, would say they're about a 100 ft apart maybe a little more. The second cottage is probably about 400 ft from the first cottage and up a...

    I'm getting ready to install some upper cabinets in my laundry room and I was taking a look at the pre-drywall pictures I took of the room and saw I probably can't get both screws into a stud. How bad would it be to only have screw in a stud?

    We have two homes for sale in our neighborhood right now, out of around 400 total. One is for $550k, been on the market for 49 days, so really overpriced. The other one is coming soon, for $575k. Guess we'll see. Not sure we'd really want to move, basically paying 200k more for the same house. I...

    My wife and I built in 2013, paid $312k for a 3600 sqft house. Zillow says the house is worth $485k, I doubt we could get that much. Problem we're running into is houses that are half the sqft that we have are selling for what we bought our house for or close too it and building a comparable...

    I don't know the way the news story said it, it was waving the appraisal and inspection. Not a contingency but then it's journalist so who knows what they actually meant.

    The local news did a story on the real estate market here in st louis. Had a buyer on that said she lost on houses cause people were doing no inspection and no appraisal on houses. I'm not sure how someone could get a loan on a home with out an appraisal. I sure as shit wouldn't get a house...

    I'm curious how building prices would affect how much coverage you have on insurance in the event of a natural disaster. Could building prices outpace that replacement cost of a structure?

    Am I sure, no, its all coming from the county health dept website, so probably not the the paragon of truth. My wife and I talked about it, we're not going to stay locked down for an additional 14 days. I guess if we get caught I'll let you all know.

    I don't disagree that is bullshit. If my son hadn't been exposed we never would have test him. He's had normal colds that are worse than his covid. We're not going to follow it too closely.
