Just finished and liked it. Felt like he could have easily run this out to 2-3 more books with how much happened. Made some things feel rushed and less impactful, finished some characters and arcs. There was a lot going on. Hopefully we see more in the Universe. It is great world building and...

Was a good kid that brought it out. 20 years old, very polite. The biggest factor was when my pregnant wife came out and saw how much room was in the Crew Can for getting kids in/out and how easy it was to get in and out herself with the auto running boards. At that point she gave the 100%. Had...

Will be interesting to see how they pull this off. Baby Goose is good though. I didn’t find the book near as good or interesting as The Martian.

Not changing your HDD jumper from Master to Slave. But seriously, I think the only recent (last 10-15 years maybe) thing that wasn’t immediately obvious was when all the thermal throttling stuff was introduced and I had to find the right BIOS settings to keep the chip running hot and not...

For all the bitching I have done in real life about car salesmen and dealerships, my experience today has been pretty positive. Wanted to step up from my current truck in to one with a full back seat b/c our second son is on the way so now I'll need two car seats or a car seat + booster, and...

I think they are, at least from an enjoyability stand point. @Ukerric probably said it all better, but yeah his library is very good. Which is why it was so shocking that Captain was such a hot turd of a book, but also why he gets a pass from me and I’d happily read a book 2.

In Dreadgod he and Yerin went on some heist. I know it was a plot point of that book but I don't think it was as detailed as what this book suggests they stole. Had to do with moving the labyrinth and exits being around other Monarch's territory. Something something. Here they have apparently...

Yeah, with our new baby coming in September it wouldn't be possible this year, but hopefully next just for fun and old time's sake.

Episode 7 of Season 2 and this dude if FINALLY telling people he heard something on the radio...

Question about a line I just read: About 50% in Cladia is talking to Yerin and gang and states “There are Monarchs on the prowl all over Ashwind…” Am I the only one that was under the impression there were only a handful of actual Monarchs around? How could there be enough to be prowling a...

Everything but the ability to get a loan. Poor guy.

ACDF update. Surgery was yesterday morning. Got checked in at 5:30 and was wheeled back at 7:30. Took about 2 hours, I woke up in PACU at 9:45 and was in my room by 12. Honestly I feel about 1,00% better than it seems I have any right to. Could just as easily have went home yesterday if not for...

Hey man, go eat a dick for making me see this thread bumped and thinking a new book was out! Good day sir!

Watched Wreck it Ralph and Ralph Breaks the Internet the last couple of nights with our son. For starters, why isn't the second one called Ralph Wrecks the Internet? It seems so obvious. Either way, both were pretty good. I'd never seen them before but enjoyed it. Compared to some of the recent...

lol I was just about to turn out the lights and saw @Ritley ’s post and stayed up to get 10% in before my eyes just could last. Was going to get to the point of forgetting what I read and dropping the Kindle on my face.

On a different note I have a side project I was trying to wrap up before surgery on Tuesday which I won't be able to finish. But, I used undermount drawer slides for the first time. While the learning curve was a little more difficult initially they really went in very nice and easy. Next...

Even if you do AGDQ 2023 to AGDQ 2022 though it is down. One year isn't a trend but I'd also disagree with "pretty static at $3m." That's some pretty hard rounding to go up from $2.6M and down from $3.4M. An $800k difference is a 25% drop? Probably a lot of factors. The "engagement" is...

If shipping wasn't a billion and 1 dollars I'd offer to buy a couple and we could all make our own FoH projects!

Mission: Impossible III (6/10): This was way better than 2. It is basically a 10/10 when compared directly. Seems to kick off the "Scenes of Tom Cruise Running" requirement. Lots of running. The bridge scene was immediately memorable, Tom slamming in to the side of the car when the missile hits...

Wow that’s crazy…

I may not be a fireman but I've spent almost 20 years working with them!

Yeah X-Wing taught me all about custom autoexec.bat and config.sys files, and HIMEM.sys.

I used this bit to flatten a few boards that were wider than my jointer and planar, worked pretty good. Even installed it the right direction.

lol I was rushing on a side project trying to get a couple things finished before dinner, swapping out a dado stack, rip blade, crosscut blade, and just got careless. I was cutting that little piece of trim I made (poplar) and went “wtf now!” When it barely cut through and burnt the hell out of...

Hopefully this doesn’t blow up browsers since I’m posting on mobile… Just wanted to show that even after years of using a table saw what stupid mistakes you can make when you’re rushing and distracted. Luckily this was about the “safest” of stupid mistakes.

Traveling this week for work, but regarding my closet electrical and where I'm thinking of pivoting. This completely normal and dirty outlet that is in my office (previously a kids room from prior owner) is on the other side of the same wall on the interior of my closet. So maybe just cutting...

I mentioned over in the Home Improvement thread a few upgrades that I did, starting with the Reolink doorbell. Swapped over to an Amplifi Alien and SB8200 and got rid of the leased Xfinity box. Everything went in smoothly. Even the Xfinity app for registering my own modem only took about 10...

*edit: disregard all that, I may have a better idea. Or worse. Hopefully better. Spelunked around in the attic for a few minutes, dug through about 28 feet of insulation and ran my gloved hand along all the studs to trace wires. I can easily get to the hallway light fixture and the two...

We felt similarly about Encanto and were unimpressed. 5 year old also wasn't captured which is a big miss in terms of animated musical bright flashy thing. On to our latest... Mission Impossible I (6/10): Phew, this was worse than I remembered. The sequence of planting the glasses to catch the...

I don't think anyone is? Maybe something was misread. I certainly don't think you do lol

For $1,000 I'll fly you to Little Rock and do it. I'm pretty insulted (*edit: by his quote) haha.

Mitre saw wise I would look at what you're wanting to cut, and where. Do you need it to be more compact and transportable / jobsite, or is it going to be more or less permanently fixed to your bench? I would stay in the 10" or 12" inch range and probably leaning more towards 10" for myself...

On a side note I picked up an AmpliFi Alien + Mesh on eBay for $360 that came in today. Works perfect. Guy included two new power cables b/c he kept the old ones and a new patch cable.

Got the estimate. All I can say is lol

That is funny because I haven’t received the quote back from electrician yet. When he came by to look at the downstairs closet + doorbell he took a look here also. Didn’t open the switch or anything. Just shrugged and said “sure that’s easy.” Maybe to them it is a wash but it would seem one set...

This is really bad but I had to power through the 1st season. Almost none of it is good and it takes itself way too seriously for just how corny it is. Catastrophe of the week that just escalates from bad decision after bad decision. Super bad CGI. Plot spaghetti. But man I just love terrible...

Yep, I get what you're putting down, but I don't think that will be the case because it is a 3-way with a switch at the end of the hallway. That switch is hallway, light is hallway. No current switch or light in closet. *edit: Yeah it is one romex coming in to the switch right now. The outlet...

Okay, after thinking it through a bit I'm going to do the equipment in the upstairs hallway closet. It goes straight in to the attic so if I need to run cables for exterior cameras it is direct to there. There's a coax run that I can pull in to there for the Xfinity ethernet. I think it makes...

Between my spine surgery and son being born I'll see if I can squeeze it in :p

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4616348/ Independent, short film, from a guy out of South Carolina. There was some quality here but overall the atrocious child acting was distracting. The writing was way too on point and heavy handed. For a while I really thought it was some Kirk Cameron Christian...
