    So far not much. The insulation weighs almost nothing. Probably less than 10 lbs for all of it. The wood we'll be using 1/4" plywood when we can (probably on walls and ceiling, if I can find it). Most of the cabinets will be 1x3's and 1/2" plywood. Floor was 1/2" plywood. Battery we're going...

    (G)rape Vanning

    Holy fucking shit, I cut a giant hole in the van today (well, 14"x14"). Talk about a moment that will make you second guess yourself over and over and over and over. Anyway, that means the fan is in! It actually went pretty well outside of the fact that I have a Ryobi jigsaw and despite the...

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

    Okay, episode 4 was fucking hilarious. I think the best part is that there's a lot of truth in the Dennis speech about ugliness (attractive people can get away with harassment). The whole 2nd half just crushed it. The ending especially; Mac stands up and says, "Wow, I think we should clap for...

    Top Gun (1986)

    Nah. In fact, if not for the rumor mill, you'd never even know they were filming. The only reason I do is because I work out near the flight line and there were mystery signs that went up on this part of the base Monday (most people on the base don't have flight line access).

    Top Gun (1986)

    Alright, that was fucking cool. I'm assuming they were just shooting from the ground because there wasn't a chase plane, but they just had a jet flying straight up with afterburners and then diving. It's about 7pm so just at dusk. Never seen afterburners at night like that, but it was awesome...

    Big Brother

    Tyler played a near perfect game outside of voting out Brett and not Kaycee. It was obvious she hadn't stepped on any toes and was a competition beast.

    It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

    This season sucks. The last few seasons weren't great either, with the exception being last season. Last season fucking killed it. Water Park and Hero or Hate Crime were some of the best episodes of the entire show.

    Investing General Discussion

    I just don't see where the money goes if the stock market crashes. Bonds were in a 30-40 year bubble and it came crashing down with the great recession. The returns on bonds are so shit right now that no smart investor would move their money from stocks to bonds. So where does it go?

    Top Gun (1986)

    Not too long ago Half in the Bag was talking about Mission Impossible and how it's essentially just become home videos of a rich guy (Tom Cruise) doing cool shit that we get to pay to watch. Tom was doing some Super Hornet flying around today. Not sure how much more filming they've got, but I...

    (G)rape Vanning

    Nah, fan does intake/exhaust, but it's still just a fan. There are a few heating options and we're not entirely sure what we'll settle on yet. I did also forget that we added a swivel to the passenger seat. I'm still debating whether to build a little step that goes up into the cab, because...

    (G)rape Vanning

    Feels like this is just my blog about the van build at this point. Since the last post I've insulated everything except the last two ceiling panels towards the front (basically between the front two sets of ribs). Walls are done, rest of the ceiling is done. There are still gaps near the...

    Weather

    Yeah, my last few years living in the midwest I feel like there were tornadoes almost every week during tornado season. It gets old fast because you basically get no warning and have to drop everything to find somewhere that won't be instant death if it ends up within half a mile of you. Don't...

    Mid '90s

    Pretty sure I'm the target audience of this one (I was a punk ass skater kid in the 90s) and I have absolutely no desire to see this. I don't necessarily look back on being that age fondly. I was an asshole.

    Call of Duty Black Ops 4

    Yeah, my complaint is the TTK is horseshit. I'll sit there lighting a guy up over and over and then I get owned. Or somehow I'll get one shot constantly with L2 armor. I can't figure out what the deal is. Just seems like people are impossible to kill.

    Call of Duty Black Ops 4

    Yeah, only played one round, but that was my problem too. I have no clue wtf all these weapons are. I'm pretty sure I was using a shotgun? Not even 100% on that though. I'm sure I passed up good weapons but I have no idea. Also there are a shit ton of other items that drop that I can't figure...

    Wonder if it has to be one hour continuous? Not that it matters because I'm just going to leave it in running while I'm at work for like 3 hours.

    My in-laws have a place in Orange Beach AL but they haven't called and mentioned it yet. My guess is that means no one is really that concerned about it there. Wife and I are leaving for a short trip to Tahoe today and of course there's a fucking fire. Hoping they get it under control and we...

    SCUM

    Played about 4 hours last night. It's...interesting. There's a lot of potential there, but right now I'm not sure what we'd do after we've figured out the basics of the myriad of systems in the game. Going to places with mechs seems kind of like cheating. It trivializes pretty much everything...

    (G)rape Vanning

    So when I cut the plywood, I made it super tight against the walls. In retrospect this was a mistake. I didn't consider that the reflectix had much thickness (it doesn't, probably 1/8"). And I didn't refit them after I added the reflectix. So when I started spray foaming, I didn't realize I...

    (G)rape Vanning

    Been kind of slow going, but I'm basically doing what I can on weekends and occasionally after work. Put down 1x2 furring strips in the spots where I think we'll end up doing furniture (bed mounting, cabinet mounting, etc) and glued it down with Loctite. Seems decently solid, but I'm not super...

    Top Gun (1986)

    We heard some rumors yesterday that the Top Gun people were around (the only other rumors had them filming around Thanksgiving, since most of the place will be shut down). Anyway, my wife said they saw a couple F-14's painted green flying around. They may have been adversary planes, but we...

    Ha! Watching Liquipedia get updated live, and Topson now has net earnings over $2M. 7ckingMad, Jerax, and Notail still to be updated. 7ckingMad is currently at like $76k.

    Jerax MVP. His ES games were insane, and then he plays Rubick and between the fissures and boat, he turned every team fight in game 5.

    OG missed their window. FY has been insane on these snowballs. And Topson has been pretty much a non factor this entire series.

    Yeah, weird draft. I think someone else did Wyvern position 3 earlier, but I can't remember who. Looks like China got bailed out by LGD and will keep the tradition.

    I mean, the idea behind Samurai World was good. And it could've been neat. But they just shoe horned it in in the laziest way possible. It had fuck all to do with the rest of the story. It's basically the theme of season two. The writers/directors/producers thought something sounded cool, so...
