Xposting from the politics thread because... god damn this deserves it...

Here's where I probably diverge from most of the MCU fandom in regards to this show. If they could do a purely entertaining "Super Hero Lawsuit/Legal procedural" each week and have an absolute minimal "seasonal plot arc" I bet it could be funny (kinda like that show Powerless on NBC was for...

TBH, You can get the individual parts and pieces at Home Depot or Lowe's probably cheaper than that kit. It's just what I found on Amazon.

But your boyfriend is?

OK, what you need here to do your wood frame idea but with more long term stability will be a couple tensioner kits... Put them where the green lines are : I've done this to realign wooden gates where the frame starts to sage with gravity. It's like a boob job for your wife once her nipples...

You need to realize that CISO, CIO, CEO are all "meat shield" positions to protect the board from liability. Think in terms of MMOs. They tank the "bad decision boss" until they have taken enough reputational damage, then the backup Tank taunts and repeats the process. It's one reason that...

This gave me a chuckle today.. a sad.. crying chuckle.

They just want to seize your means of production dude....

I will agree with this. I was a BIG fan of the 80's-90's She Hulk run, still have about all the TPBs on my game room book shelf. And she was definitely "Sex positive" long before it was a thing, definitely a good bit "girl power" before it was so much a thing. She even hypothesized at one...

Earlier this week I was at a stop light.. saw one of these abominations of nature. Rolled down my window enough to make sure they could see me giving them the "I've owned two real Mustangs, what you're driving is the type of man made horror that Obi Wan warned Luke about" stare. They seemed to...

I will go so far as to say I am by my default a "dog person" yet we have both here at our house. In fact one of the dogs, I am pretty sure, thinks the cat is "her pet". The times the cat has snuck out the dog door we just as Bean "Where's your cat?" and she finds him. It's actually kinda...

I'm more likely to believe that she felt Twitter wasn't that useful as a social media channel for her, and more useful as a martyr to stir up buzz around her and this and whatever other projects she may have rolling along.

I found it entertaining that on the splash page looping video I see on Amazon's front page for this nonsense it doesn't show a SINGLE ONE of the race/gender swapped characters. Just a bunch of lilly white folks doing half assed LOTR cosplay... Better adaptation IMHO?

AI/ML generated pic from midjourney.com , proof that the AIs are just about ready to kill us all IMHO...

In my case, it's all metal posts. A few need straightening, which I understand you can do with a torch (heat and bend) or at worst you cut it and weld it back on straight.

Last one I bought, around 6 years ago, was around that. For a 2600 sq ft house. But also got some amped up filtration and whatnot along with it due to allergy crap. And speaking of money you don't want to spend on a home. That's right about what a good new fence is about to cost me unless I...

I somehow hadn't seen that thread. Thanks! I'll go dive in there. For the graphite molds and most other stuff I plan on doing yes.

Wow, thanks for the rundown. Yeah, from what I am reading graphite mean using a very small bit at a high speed and slow motions, and having an integrated vacuum hood to collect dust as it goes. But those molds like I showed are $100 a pop and I want to get a set where I can select fronts and...

OK, since the topic of CnC has come up in here. I don't remember if I asked this here before but... I'm shopping for a CnC. My use cases though.. aren't woodwork for the most part. But there isn't another good thread to ask this in. What I want to do is: mill graphite molds for metal...

If there is any single thing in Texas which openly declares our hubris and feeling of being superior to God themselves.. it is Buc'ees. The real goal for me would be enough land with enough trees, and preferably a creek, then get my ag exemption for "wildlife habitat preservation" which you can...

So,... in line with the topic of the thread... I'm looking to purchase some land out from Dallas to build a "rest of our lives" home for Mrs. Haus and I. I realize the optimal time to drop money on this land will probably be once the apparently impending retail real estate bubble bursts...

Wait... is that Riann Wilson playing Dr Demento? Still remember growing up in my Jr High school days eagerly cuing up blank cassettes each Sunday when the Dr Demento show would air locally so I could record everything.... much wow.. so formative...

I will say that after my lawn guy decided to go from $40 a visit to $60 a visit this year citing "higher gas prices", I hit Craigslist and bought one of this type of mower (except mine is a Ryobi 40v). And honestly, it's been kinda great. It's not even self propelled, but it's light enough...

I know multiple people around my parts who have Tacomas and have been really happy with them. Doesn't hurt that I'm in Dallas which is where Toyota motors North America is based. Also, they're built here in the US, if that's a thing for you. One question would be what tier of "truck owner"...

I sleep like a baby on airplanes. Probably because when I was a baby my grandparents would put me in the car and drive around the block when I wouldn't go to sleep and POOF I'd be out like a light.

I'm a chunky lunchbox. (over 220) It's my stout mountain dwarf genetics ;) That and a combination of my grandmother's cooking while growing up, and wife's propensity for learning everything my grandmother made and mastering the making of it. (Which was how I knew she was wifey material). So...

I snore, and I got a watch which measures SPO2. It was saying I was dipping into the 80's at night. I thought I was on a sure fire path to a CPAP. Then I used a wedge pillow so I started sleeping with my body leaning upwards at an incline. According to @Mrs. Haus it's apparently suppressed a...

My deepest condolences. I was raised by my grandparents, had to be "the adult in the room" handling things when both my grandfather died (97) and Grandmother (2010). Now my mother is in decline and I'm the only relative left in town to assist for things. It sucks man... Only lesson I have...

I remember saving points earned through a school fundraiser so I could get two of these and my friend and I could fire them at things... (shooting them up was kinda boring). Unfortunately, this also severely limited their life span. heh Isn't this just that guy off Big Bang Theory? Unrelated :

Just watched this on the plane back from Vegas. This movie deserves FAR more attention than it's gotten. It managed to be a brilliant SciFi film with an actual unique premise, was visually fantastic (hated that I watched it on a small tablet screen, but at least I had good headphones for it)...

At a trade show, at a vendor evening event. Free booze. Free band. good times... and by 9:00 I'm looking at my watch wondering if anybody will notice and be miffed if I duck out and head back to sleep in my hotel room.
