    We watched Air Bud last night. Kid loved it, cracked up at a dog knocking everything over and playing basketball. Had to look up afterwards where I knew the mom from because I totally forgot she was in Sister Act 1 and 2. Worth a revisit with kids for sure.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    TRU had a little bump and with ETH trending back up again I’m back at even $10k from a couple years ago. No idea how to even offload stuff these days or just trade for a stable coin and then move it out. Not that I will, of course. I’ll just watch it all go back down to $4k.

    That step is nice. I do have a long term goal of extending my driveway down to this area and possibly in to the backyard for a trailer / storage. Will take a look at those ideas and figure something out.

    I need to install a drop rod on my double gate. We get some high winds coming through the area and this week it totally broke my totally not Chinese gate latch. So new latch going on and will supplement with a rod to help keep in place. The previous owner tried this, obviously, but i'd like to...

    3 Body Problem

    Yeah, I'm most interested to see how they portray that. It was a major point in the book, at least the 1st one if I remember correctly, with the struggle session, humiliation, and deplatforming.

    Yeah, I scrolled down and saw that after the fact. Thankfully still stuff I don’t care about. Just give me a nice quality limited signed printing to put on my shelf and I’m happy.

    Spaceman

    I was thinking about that last night while watching, and maybe it is just real easy for me to begin to relate to things in movies like this. Especially if you hang it against SciFi backdrop. Put this movie in 1600s Italy and it is entirely possible I hate it. Having said that, from a...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Damn, missed the numbered copy edition. That’ll save me $325 since I don’t care about whatever a radiant pack is. About to finish up Defiant since I never got around to reading it. Not the biggest fan, this one feels way too teenage girl / young adult even compared to the others. Needed...

    Spaceman

    We watched tonight, thanks for the recommendation. I thought it was amazing. That’s probably understandable as Solaris is also one of my favorite movies. Spaceman is really good. The idea of Adam Sandler as an astronaut with an alien spider is crazy but it works. Very quite, it has moments of...

    House of the Dragon

    We just finished rewatching Season 1 and 2 of 24 and it was amazing that in episode 2 or 3 of Season 2 Jack kills an informant and cuts his head off right in the middle of CTU and apparently everyone is just A-okay with that. Gotta stop the nuke after all.

    The Count of Monte-Cristo (2024)

    Yeah, strong disagreement there. I think I have 4 physical versions of the book and it is still one of my favorite ever. I need to rewatch the other version though, it has been since it was released. It isn't like this version is "Baz Luhrmann's Count of Monte Cristo" with a soundtrack featuring...

    Yeah my high school monitor was a 17” Viewsonic. Can’t find the model now but it looked similar to the PF775, but that was released in 2000 spa free years too late and mine wasn’t “perfect flat,” hence PF. Still, that one was listed at 48.6 lbs and I would put it in the passenger seat of my 1986...

    What did you just read?

    Little necro (pun intended), back after posting this I did get the Locked Tomb SubPress versions (along with Floralinda), but it was before Nona was published. The person who sold me the series ghosted me when Nona came out last year and it has taken months of trying to get in contact with them...

    The Netflix Thread

    My wife has become more and more comfortable with Plex now. If we want to watch something during dinner, knowing that I can run upstairs and download it and ready to watch in 15 minutes, has her sold. We were more than happy to pay $3.99 for an Amazon movie here or there just for immediate...

    Will Wight

    I finished Engineer while on my trip to Orlando and my expectations were non existent after reading Captain. Maybe that’s why I didn’t completely hate it? It stop isn’t what I would consider good, and a few things jump out to me now that there’s been two books with these characters now. He just...

    This reminded me of that YouTube video someone posted a while back on how bad the windows command prompt is and made some custom version that ran 10,000x faster. Someone knows what I’m talking about hopefully.

    We kind of got on a racing kick the past couple of nights, by going through some 1st season Grand Tour stuff. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1950186/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979320/ I'm not really sure if either one is a better film. They're both amazing. The racing seemed better filmed /...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I can’t remember if that is the artist the fan base was pushing to illustrate the new versions by that Euro house. Need to find that link, I’m on their mail list. The (A) Facebook group was all clamoring for them to be contracted. Looked a little different though, maybe I can find that thread...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I put in some time with God of Weapons last week to distract me from work. It was a cool concept and seems to have potential. Inventory management as part of the game is wasn’t too bad and did require strategy. Found a couple of builds that were sort of trivializing the game and did up to...

    I was going to mention something similar to this too. People would always make fun of Auburn (and rightfully so in some respects) but the double-wide and trailer park jokes never really landed. Some of those "double-wides" were nice a shit and way better than any dorm room or apartment I stayed...

    I would be up for that approach if I could just blow shit in and not have to worry about specific depth and meeting an R value. How much do I blow up there? Well... "A lot." Oh, okay sounds good! Machine goes bbbrrrrrrr.

    I.S.S. (2024)

    That's a much better idea and version along what was stuck in my head. As it is what we get in this movie is just, nothing... It isn't very interesting or exciting. The backdrop of the earth burning could be kind of cool and suspenseful. When Danny from Mindy Project showed up it took me...

    I think Samsung TVs had that issue as well, if I remember from a few years ago setting up mine. A day later and the TV had about a billion blocked comms.

    I stepped in the grocery store to pick up some quick things for tonight and missed the $750 or $1500 version. Keep in mind a few things if you’re picking something like this up to flip: - When you purchase one you'll be assigned that number / letter for future release. - So if/when Wise Man's...

    He just remembered seeing Jonathan Brandis in a dress in Ladybugs and couldn’t help himself. Lexx really was amazing. Kai was a great character and there were some cool story arcs. The whole planet of fire and planet of water stuff. Hell you get Tim Curry in “Episode 2.” All of the comparisons...

    Yeah, I'm guessing you got the email with the reveal of all the versions. The $750 and $1,500 are placeholder art. It is really tempting to pick up a version and try to flip it. I really like Grim Oak press and have a couple of their releases so I'd love to support them, but not Rothfuss. For...
