I was able to find a matched set of Martha Wells that also included the Compulsory broadside. Never seen one of these before and it is actually cool. Would like to make a nice frame for it and get it hung up. Redacted my # but it is matched with Murderbot Diaries and Network Effect. After...

So the banister (?) at the top of our stairs that extends out 12" on to the landing is pulling away from the wall. The circled spots are where, I'm pretty sure, the supporting nails are to hold it in. I can somewhat seem them in the gap with a flashlight anyways. Is there a proper way to...

Get us some FoH coup’ns and we’ll make a weekend out if it!

Only heard of it, never been. My ex-wife is in Oregon so I’d have to do some distance calculations to figure out if I could go. j/k she’s a wonderful lady.

I think that applies to most of life decisions. Especially including, but not limited to, fireworks, power tools, and women.

I’ve seen Sonic (90s), Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Underground, and one more I think. This block of channels in the 400s is the best. Transformers channel (shows all the animated versions I think), and Super Mario cartoon. I either watch these, This Old House, or Antique Roadshow...

That's great. Kid loved the Sonic movies and has been pretty obsessed with him ever since. We found a Sonic channel on Roku that plays the old school cartoon. He has a Sonic world in MInecraft. it is pretty funny watching him.

Apple autocorrect. To my knowledge I have never typed "AB's" in my phone. If I have it certainly has not been more times than I've used "and." There are 10,000 other examples of it trying to autcorrect some of the most common words in the English language with an arbitrary word that some 10th...

Starling House by Alex Harrow. Basically finished with this. Picked it up since SubPress is doing a special edition later this year and wanted to see if it was going to be worth buying. I liked it. Not my absolute favorite but it was interesting enough. Will probably pick up the special edition...

No, haha. The Paul W.S. Anderson one with Ray Stevenson (pbuh) and Milla Jovovich.. oh and Helen George. I just couldn't help thinking about what a hack Anderson is but this was at least a somewhat serious movie. I mean, compared to the caricature of himself he becomes.

We put that on a week or two ago, can’t remember if I posted here or not. It really was great. Bettany just eats it up as Chaucer. Seeing Alan Tudyk and not remembering he was in it was fun too. We also put on 3 Musketeers the other night and hate to say but it was kind of fun also.

Our 6 year old son came back home today and said “Play the Cornered song, where the picture of the Guy and he’s pointing and his hair is back.” With absolutely zero context I had no idea wtf he was talking about. So I searched YouTube for Cornered and cracked up when MvC3 popped up and Phoenix...

It turns out this was the plot for the entire second movie.

I’m half tempted to do a reread just to see if it really as bad as I remember and we post about. That would mean finding a Kindle version or a torrent of the ebook and I’m not paying this loser any money nor am I interested enough to go find the torrent. Looks like we just talked me out of doing...

I have not charged the keyboard since that post and this is my work keyboard so it gets pretty constant use. I'm at Blue and think it has been for 2-3 days. So far so good. Once it hits red or whatever I'll give it a full overnight charge.

Maybe they can get Kilborn to host Tuesday's show.

Thanks, I got it all working a bit ago. Swapped over to qTorrent and use one of Nords P2P servers and get 7-10 Mb/s on most quick stuff I’m trying to grab. Usually just random movie at night we can’t find to rent / buy on Roku (or if it is exorbitant to rent). I actually set up Plex on the...

Didn’t even bother with a lazy Nick Cave cover. Huh. Probably saving it for the big screen.

We watched Predator 2 last night and it is really hard to know where to start rating this thing. It accidentally came very close to predicting what a “near future” or undefined time looks like, even watching in 2024. They decided to throw hilariously large lasers and optics on every weapon...

Only answer necessary

We watched this last night based on your recommendation. We enjoyed it, kid enjoyed it. Kindergarteners were the best part. Our 6 year old was like "look at those babies they're so silly!" And we had to explain that no... they were kindergartners like you. He just kind of stared blankly while...

I’m still buying one to flip to some cat lady on Facebook.

Just did my battery replacement. Wasn't too bad except that the original battery was stuck to the case with NASA construction adhesive and I was worried it would explode on me while trying to pry it off. We'll see how long the replacement lasts. I mostly keep RGB turned off except for lighting...

I ended up doing a somewhat piecemeal approach and ordered a Meteor75 with a Radiomaster Zorro b/c it looked about the size of a Playstation controller and felt it would fit his hands better than one of the larger square ones. ELRS seems the way so tried to stay consistent there. The Analog...

Spy Kids - What a completely bizarre movie. I need to read the story behind how this got made and why everyone was attached to it. Not going to complain about Carla Gugino. The whole thing is strange even for a kids movie. Some real nightmare stuff. Very strange 6/10.

Yeah, a DJI FPV Controller 2 is only like $190 and should work or the Mini 3 / Mavic one is like $250. He's only 6 but I think he'd enjoy learning on the computer.

Is there a controller that can be used for drone simulators on PC that can then be used for an actual drone? I know the answer is yes, after reading about the DJI controller and one or two others. Maybe the question is, if I'm getting one for my son to learn to fly on the PC, is there a version...

Fresh on the heels of the Rothfuss announcement, this just came across email. Cradle Animated Kickstarter. Jay Oliva is involved, who I guess I should know from Batman and DC stuff. The goal is... ummm... $14.3M for 7 Episodes? Haven't really read the whole thing yet or looked at the goals and...

Interesting to think about House of Leaves as an ebook. The physical copy seems so tied to the story. The way the pages are jumbled and the writing is staggered, the snippets of evidence, annotations, etc. It is a somewhat difficult book to read because of that, but also helps evoke the sense of...

AKZYTUE 3.7V 4000mAh 606090 Lipo battery Rechargeable Lithium Polymer ion Battery Pack with PH2.0mm JST Connector https://a.co/d/iHVcl6K That was the listed replacement for the K4. Should be here tomorrow, weather slowed everything down a day. Purely based on thickness and connector type I bet...

Grim Oak Press is producing Special Editions of In the Name of the Wind and released a FAQ today. Going on sale February 7th. Producing 4 different editions: If those options aren't good enough for you, there's always the $3,000 version: Kind of torn on this since at the time In the Name...

My neighbor has one of these in his two car shop garage and it works pretty well. I want to say his is a little bigger though? I was going to grab one last year but never made it out to Harbor Freight. Kind of glad I'm out of commission this winter so I don't have to worry about heating the...

Keychron K4 battery is a total piece of shit and won't stay charged for more than a day or two now. Going to try and buy a replacement battery off Amazon and give it a shot. If that doesn't work will try to find something. Prefer wireless just for lack of cables.

“Certain” audiences.

I checked out the author’s site and he was promoting a novella coming out Jan 16th and mentioned pre-order copies were available from a bookstore in Washington. They mentioned signed copies were available but I didn’t see a link. Emailed them last night and they said just order the hard copy and...

Twister’s real protagonist was a Ram 2500.

The Mountain in the Sea: A Novel https://a.co/d/co7zDBx Just wrapped this up and enjoyed it. Not amazing but a pretty gif 1st novel. SciFi in that it is messed future so there’s some advanced tech, mostly AI related. But it centers mostly around communication with a non-human species and what...

The comments or watching the video may go in to more depth... Had to pause due to baby screaming. Not this is really relevant to the build at all. Then in the next frame there are two: Then when he initially sets his router up there's back to 1: But then when he aligns the mounting...

I'm sure I could go back a couple of pages (and I was going to look in to that list posted above from 2023), but, is Deluge still the best torrent program? Maybe I just need to look in to some usenet stuff. *edit: Ended up grabbing Deluge and had it up and running. Had an existing NordVPN...

I guess compared to modern Michael Bay stuff or other 80s action movies like Commando, original Rambo came off surprisingly not over the top, for me. Which added to the enjoyment and subverted my expectations. Yeah there were some parts but it was way way more low key and focused on Rambo's...
