    Shōgun

    Sure, but not for any reason that they portrayed in the movie, or at least it's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember Robert the Bruce killing the man who was heir to the Scottish throne in a church in the movie.

    Shōgun

    Shogun, by all accounts, is written as historical fiction (that never claimed otherwise) that respects the underlying culture and people by not lying about historical figures. Braveheart uses real life names of people and tried to act like it had anything to do with real history in marketing for...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    The seal on that looks about the same as what I get. For mine, I assume that about 1/4 inch of the heating coil just doesn't get hot enough to seal it, on occasion. It can be easy to miss, unless you hold it up to a light, to see the line is slightly different looking when it fails to seal. I...

    BB.com Misc Refugee Thread

    Best way I've found to jump into a thread is just read the last 3 to 5 pages, depending on how much time you have. That gives you an idea of what's being talked about. If you want to read a post someone replied to, you can click the reverse arrow to take you right to it. The reverse arrow right...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    My sealer will fuckup when making the first fresh seal after cutting it off the roll (before putting something in it). It will leave little unmeted gaps in the seal and it doesn't happen every time. It happens enough that I have to use the sealer twice on the same line, to make sure it's sealed...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    My experience is similar to @Arative. A few years ago I had my parents ask me about something similar being sold at a home show, down at the convention center, or some such place. I think it was an Android 10 box loaded with a custom Kodi UI. While I never had in-person experience with the item...

    3 Body Problem

    Again, I have not seen what you are trying to say in any accepted model. From the explanations I have seen: What we see is a light cone into the past. We can only see stars that are inside that light cone. Any light outside that cone can not reach us because it's already too far away, not...

    Infinite stars is not the prevailing theory that I have ever seen. An infinite universe is more in regards to what is possibly outside our bubble of spacetime.

    Total War: Warhammer

    I thought people were up in arms about the prices of the DLCs for WH3? So what did they do, broke it down so you can buy each lord individually or all of them for the same price as last 2 "large" WH3 DLCs! This isn't even a race pack and costs the same as Chaos Dwarves. The Lord packs for WH2...

    Does Oklahoma have scenic drives around Tulsa? If no one else chimes in, maybe drive down to Eufaula and around the lake? Outside of Hwy 69, there looks like there is a lot of long straight roads, but, if you are going to make a high speed run, make sure you drive down the road at least once...

    Ours is inconsistent too. I have to use the smaller bags then run the seal, move the bag a little, then run it again; for each side. Shit takes forever and is rather annoying. Think it came from Sam's. A bunch of people report the same issues around the web, so they probably only have a year or...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Clouds over north Texas are moving east and a line of clear sky looks like it has a chance to open up before totality. The hill country looks like it's clearing up as well, so it might beat the forecast, but Austin, Waco, and the north side of SA looks fucked.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Strange New Worlds is the best of Nu Trek, by far. Discovery Season 2 was so trash that I had pretty much written Trek off, but I don't regret eventually giving Strange New Worlds a watch (I skipped the stupid musical episode). Although, I didn't think Picard was that bad, at least until maybe...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Yea, TorrentFreak is saying the original source says Web-DL too, so some internet provider fucked up or an employee was corrupted, somewhere in the world. It seems like the streaming PPV release is still a long ways out. I didn't realize they would send it out so soon. Edit: Well the internet...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Oh, lol. Haven't been on a pirate site in a few days and haven't seen a screener leak in so long I thought they had it locked down, especially on a big movie like this. People are saying it doesn't have subs, which I would think a screener would have. It looks like a 1080 source, but wonder if...

    Again, you don't need to connect smart items to the internet or even to your network (if you don't want to set up a VLAN)? So the spy features don't matter. I have "smart" garage door openers and light switches but it doesn't matter because they aren't connected to the router. For non-streaming...

    Having a hard time getting into WH3 and the only games I remember finishing since it's release have been Empire (Volkmar), Tomb Kings (Arkhan), and Skaven (Throt). I don't remember much about Chaos Dwarves, but did play them for a few hours on release (w/o mods). I prefer the SFO mod though, so...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I think I've played every legendary lord (that was available in WH1/2 ) once and have rarely played a LL a second time. At least until it gets a upgrade from the SFO mod team, or less often, Creative Assembly themselves. I've found the following factions to be the most enjoyable: The Empire...

    I never fill out or even read anything from Geico and they haven't canceled me yet. So it looks like the ride share companies have sold your info to Geico. For all the other companies, it's probably best to do internet quotes on them all then look up the cheapest ones and see if you want to...

    I've not followed HDR, HDR10, or Dolby Vision (I'm not about to replace a $800 receiver for it) but I thought it needed hardware support, not just some new firmware. I can't think of a single other function on any TV that I have seen that I need. Firestick, Chromecast, or Shield does all the...

    If you find the remote, do a factory reset and never connect it to the internet. It should roll the firmware back and never get one of those popups again.

    For current owners of Roku TVs, at least it's an easy fix and even fairly cheap: Don't connect your TV to the internet and then stream through a non-Roku device.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Bones and to a lesser extent skin, make a large difference in flavor on white meat. Since it's dark mean, it has enough grease that the skin doesn't matter, but the bones do. For boneless, I usually find a flavor packet or marinade to stick it in for 24 hours. I've used so many marinades and...
