    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    You defiantly don't need steroids to get in the shape that Marky Mark was in, in that picture. Just a ton of exercise and a restrictive diet. As for your HS team, did you personally know people were juicing or that's just an off the wall guess, because a quarter of the team sounds high, for...

    Evicted woman does $100,000+ damage to what should be a $600,000+ house in Colorado Springs. Black spray paint, copious amount of animal (and human) excrement, freezer of meat in basement w/o power for over a year, and a hammer though most drywall sheets. Sample: This listing says it is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    In the interview it was mostly inferred. I may have jumped to the conclusion that it was partly due engine problems. He talked about players of D:OS 2, coming into this game, found that melee classes didn't have much to do, early on, but that in D&D the warrior class is the simplest class...

    Gamespot interviews Sven. Big takeaways: No release in 2021, pushing hard for 2022 but Sven is making no release promises. They keep changing things based on feedback. They want to get D&D right, but it sounds like there are issues shoehorning it into their engine. They have tripled the size of...

    Didn't you watch the show? It was an apocalyptic event! You know, it had to be at least a Cat 8 storm, because those are the ones that just pop up in 2 or 3 hours. Otherwise, one of the 100 mutants/superheroes, that could easily stop such an event, might get there in time...

    Heh, it wasn't exactly directed at you; just the shitty business practices of AAA gaming with no hope of it getting any better.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Welcome to AAA gaming maybe, and so, AAA gaming can go fuck itself. AA gaming and indies are making plenty of good games; I don't need those shitheal companies.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Search for forum/reddit reviews of the modem/router they use, and you can see if that's worth it. Some of those bulk deal modem/routers are shit, some just need the options changed to be made more secure, and others are not compatible with 3rd party set-ups (like a 5.2 ghz mesh wireless system...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    For Oblivion, I think I got through closing 3 or 4 of the same-ish portals (into the realm of boredom), quit, read on the net that they were all RNG bullshit, and never played it again. I am sure part of it was just the sheer disappointment over the ill fated hype-train that the two...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    For me it was going from Morrowind to Oblivion that was jarring. I was sorta on the hype train that Todd and Pete built prior to release, and most of what they said was just bullshit. They have had zero goodwill from me, ever since. New Vegas was good, but Bethesda had hardly anything to do...

    Oh, weird, I bought a set of those years ago for 1080, but didn't think to check on 4k compatibility. I assumed 2 Cat 5e cables would be plenty for 4k, but I guess not! There are a plethora of other HDMI to Cat5e/6 converters out there (no idea if they are 4k), but they are more expensive and...

    Since that changes the total cost of it all, if you already have half a spool of Cat5e, then yea, I would only worry about cat6 from 4k video server to switch, and switch to router. You can also use that cat5e to replace any HDMI you want, with adapters (if you are looking for more uses).

    From looking at current Electrician Union rates on the internet for a rough guesstimate: If you call an independent electrician you are probably looking at an hourly rate of $50 to $60 for the job, a "service" fee of maybe $75 (drive time/gas), and materials of $20 to $50. If you call a chain...

    Are you not going to be in the house for very long? Why not plan for the future? The price difference is minimal, and since pulling wires can be a small bitch (some walls have cross members in the way and general insulation shittyness). I usually stick with the motto: It's better to have it...

    While I knew it wasn't Ricci in American Beauty, I had no idea what that girls name was. I remembered her from other stuff though, so I had to look it up. Her name is Mena Suvari and she was 20 in that movie (playing a 16 year old). She was also in the American Pie movies and Six Feet Under...

    You can build $1000 comparable speakers, for 1/2 to 1/3 the price by following plans from various audiophile designers (autists who do this as a hobby). There are a few different places to get parts, and even pre-cut (with CNC machine) MDF kits (I'll list some below). Soldering your own...

    In regards to Y: I don't read comics, so don't know how originally works, but the synopses on IMDB states that everyone outside the lead character with a Y chromosome, died. So, I would imagine any other "males" you see in the show are going to be female to male sex change. Expect to see a lot...

    Amazing, no one was killed. One worker had his arm lacerated, and the two workers that were up in the box on the collapsing crane, rode it down w/o injury. They used a mast-type jib crane to fish them out of the wreckage. A short clip from someone on the ground. It's loud: Four more pictures...

    Christina Ricci has been in a ton of stuff, but I have only seen her in four other movies outside of Addams Family.

    Amazon will be sharing your bandwidth if you have one of their devices.

    Haha, funny you think they care about catching someone robbing you. They are selling cheap cameras to uneducated buyers. It has a very small data cap; only enough to send compressed files (think kb text files, not gb video files (it has a 80 kb transfer cap, with 500 mb monthly total cap:emoji_nose:. It...

    What kind of incline does your drive way have and do you have a level sidewalk running through it? If you just want to get it in the air to do a wiggle test, buy some wheel chocks for the fronts and use the level sidewalk to jack the rear from. I don't know if I would get too far under it...

    I imagine that there are laws in every state for external lights on vehicles, while it's in operation on a public roadway. The under effect lights that project light under the car took off in the late nighties and early aughts; to which many states amended the laws to reflect this new fad. It...

    Exactly, people think Roids are some easy quick fix, when they mostly just allow you to heal faster. The simplistic overarching rule with steroids is that they cut your muscle healing time in half (a more complex picture would need to go into the different types of steroids, which each help...

    While the auto opt-in is some bullshit, at least it's easy enough to disable (I guess they figure anyone that uses Alexia, doesn't care about privacy, anyway). The best way to opt-out is to disable Alexia which will disable this wifi sharing, as well. Furthermore, disable all tracking options...

    Best clip I have seen so far, with the second part showing the third base line. Pretty amazing trifecta of head-up-ass errors, two of which should be on the 1st baseman. Obligatory video (the last clip (from 1988) is a Yankee pitcher (Tommy John) racking up 3 errors, all by himself):

    Did you read the case? They didn't murder some random stranger and they sent a ransom note (added unneeded contact so they could make the papers). Franks (the 14 y.o. victim) was Loeb's second cousin, an across-the-street neighbor, and had played tennis at the Loeb residence several times...

    Hair dye, make up, and weight all make a hell of a difference in how old someone looks. Keeping a healthy and active life throughout the years also makes a huge difference. You can see the age under Rudd's eyes and on his neck, where it's harder to apply the smoothing make up. There is now 40+...

    I couldn't imagine trying to play this game from the couch, on a console. It looks like it was designed for PC primarily and the crisper text you get on a monitor.

    I mostly meant how the ships are loaded out, like if you use hangers, in your fleets, as well. Outside of fighting the Grey Host with PD, I just switched between Laser and Kinetic, depending on tech levels, and always ignored hangers. As for star bases, I assumed that they weren't counted (or...

    I thought Hangers were a one and done, or had a really slow replenishment rate. So when the strike craft got killed, you were basically SoL. How do you build your fleets then, and what traits do you fish for on Admirals?
