    Home Improvement

    Since the door was open I couldn’t get a good front view. It isn’t really the springs that are involved. They’re fully supported by the sides and not just attached. One more damn call this morning and I can talk to the door company about it. Then back to the neurosurgeon for a spine check up…...

    Yeah, I've done my own torsion springs as well. Not gonna do that again. Yeah but L-bracket it to what? If it is just drywall on each side that means just putting more screws in the drywall. If the trolley can't stay attached maybe a Jackshaft option would need to be installed? That or ripping...

    Took the trash out last night and noticed this... Apparently when they installed it there either was not a stud up there to mount it to, or they neglected to do that. The bolts they used look awfully short if they were trying to attach it to the stud. I may climb up and see if I can get it...

    Is it noticeably audible? That sounds amazing but not if I have to listen to it pump all night long.

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    I was looking in to some of the Black Library special editions or limited editions to go along with my other stuff like Sanderson or Eriksen, etc. What a convoluted mess. Granted there are eleventy billion novels and stories out there but I'm having a hard time even figuring out what is actually...

    Beta of Halls of Torment was released. New class, new level, and quite a few other changes, balances, etc.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Another thing from the re-read last night, and there were more than just this one, but there was a whole paragraph from Toc the Younger about Dassem and the deal with Hood and the events at Y'Ghatan. And I don't think we saw that whole thing go down for quite a while in either one of the later...

    LISA - The complete/full release

    This looks like something in the same sphere as Undertale, which I did enjoy for all the strangeness and indie charm.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    The part above I didn't remember at all from GotM, because on first reading you have no reason to pay attention, is Tattersail mentioning that Mock was her lover and Kellanved slitting his throat.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I started my re-read last night. Been a LONG time since going through these. So much stuff in Gardens makes more sense and it is easier to follow. The second or third chapter about the battle at Pale that Tattersail flashes back to was my main memory of the book and I forgot that was only 1/3 of...

    For large open / connecting areas I’m a one color person. And currently that is a neutral gray or greige. It rooms about two weeks for me to go through all the possible grays that exist when repainting the downstairs of my last house. Never knew how much of a process that was. This house we (my...

    Household Major Appliances

    The door-in-door feature I’ve really liked on our Samsung. Put kiddos juice right there or a Topo Chico, condiments. Not that opening a whole door is hard, it just works well to have the smaller window. I do agree that in our next French door we would get the ice maker in the bottom freezer...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Finished it last night, took a little longer because of being so tired in bed and not reading as much. I liked it. Wasn’t the best and maybe a little long for everything going on then very quickly wrapped up. The narration part was the best, and the side references to rest of the Cosmere...

    I'll take it apart and see about cleaning those out. I mean WASD are only pushed 1,000,000 times every round of one of these. Must be somewhere in the switch b/c the physical key doesn't stick. Wish I could recreate it in Notepad hah.

    I think that I asked this a couple of years ago, but it has come back around and is irritating the hell out of me. Periodically my keyboard just won't accept inputs while playing and I can't figure out why. It is a Keychron K2 that is USB and not Wireless mode. I'll be moving around on the...

    Bought another half beef this year and decided to upgrade our small chest freezer to a larger upright for easier access to the meat. The chest was only 5.0 cu ft or so and barely fit last year’s cow along with a couple of random things. Best Buy had an Insignia 17 cu ft for $700 and with Total...

    I've come to a point in life where "good enough" is just fine. Like, all the stuff Mist mentions is probably true. But these are small dragons that I cannot chase and whether the Samsung has 10-bit color at whatever refresh vs. the Alienware is totally beyond my capacity for appreciating. Or the...

    Rabbit Proof Fence was the only other Australian film I was familiar with. And that is really only because of Peter Gabriel doing the soundtrack. Haven’t watched that since it came out. Maybe we need to do an Australian week at the house.

    Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

    We went to the Sunday 6:15 show and the theater was sold out. It was just one of the side smaller screens though so not like a packed IMAX. Was still surprised though. I wish it was doing better also but not sure it really impacts much. There’s gotta be a 0% chance Part 2 doesn’t get made and...

    I actually had the Alienware delivered yesterday b/c I'm too impulsive. Haven't noticed the glare thing in my room set up being a distraction. I don't think those things are really a major concern of mine at the moment. My main concern was the firmware version and the lack of user...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I ranked Helicopter and Arrow Rain as equally worthless but was willing to give arrow rain a chance. Does it upgrade with Explosive Arrow? At least the helicopter has a longer telegraph so you can kite enemies in to the damage zone. Otherwise it is a graphical mess seeing it fly over and does...

    Top Chef

    Someone somewhere mentioned it but I have no idea why they keep trying to force this Kish chick in to everything. She’s the definition of mediocre and they just throw show after show and host gig after gig to her. I would really have liked the replacement to be not a dedicated chef/food person...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I probably didn’t explain that correctly, and even explained, it then may not be worth it. What I was trying to say is that rather than immediately taking a companion I’ll take a level or two to quickly get to explosive arrow. That seemed more smooth that immediately getting three companions and...

    Yeah, I did like the multi character aspect. HoT has multiple character classes but not multiple per run. In Zombie I've been mostly avoiding recruiting additional characters until my primary is leveled up a bit and the upgrade options remain limited. I don't have everyone upgraded and unlocked...

    Has there even been a DotA mod for this genre yet? Didn't even think about that and since the Battle Chess thing was so hot I'm surprised it hasn't exploded in all those other companies yet. Still think HoT is my favorite of this "new batch." Army of Ruin I'm trying to get in to but it just...

    Interesting. The downstairs one is in the walk in basement space under house. So super easy. Upstairs unit in the attic is probably a gigantic PITA if I ever had to do it myself. Yeah I’ll think about that. The usually check it with the yearly maintenance, but obviously did a crap job this last...
