    Home Improvement

    Yeah depending on project and workflow I keep most of my stuff on shelf or under shelf in a case or cheap / repurposed bag out of the way. Usually that means having out 2x Ridgid Drills and 1x Impact. That way one can be drilling and pilot holes and one can be driver and I don’t have to switch...

    My stepdad uses this that I liked quite a bit after swearing away regular pegboard. The hangers lock in nicely and it offers much more support and rigidity than the normal brown stuff. French cleats are big these days and while they don’t look bad, they’re “starting to” feel very trendy and...

    Snow White (2024)

    Even my naive completely passive head in the sand wife said “It is Snow White not Mud Brown. I was mostly okay with Little Mermaid but can’t they leave stuff alone?” Was pretty jarring since she’s very hands off anything political or controversial and avoids most topics. Guess coming for her...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I like the low key nature of Halls compared with the, say, spam fest effect seizure of Soulstone. It does feel very long going back to the 25-30m stages that tend to drag for the first 15m. But after a couple hours and some damage upgrades then it waves and enemy density are less annoying. Then...

    Roguelite Enemy Hell/Bullet Heaven/Survivor catch-all

    I've enjoyed it the past couple of nights also. Steam says 7.5 hours so far and I've been mostly goofing off. Just unlocked the Exterminator. Still haven't focused on any real builds, just messing with things here and there and can clear 1st zone pretty regularly.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    That's really awesome. I'm surprised at the price point, not that it is "cheap" but I was totally expecting to be blown away. $799 is shockingly low to me for some reason. Maybe it is just being jaded at products.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns

    But they did a collab with Forged in Fire. That’s peak relevancy!

    Napoleon (2023)

    Years ago, maybe 16-17 now, I read this book. Unfortunately I remember almost none of it. At the time it was just a whole bunch of good information but I remember it being very dry. Especially for 1200 pages. It is on a shelf somewhere at home. May be worth revisiting again. Almost positive it...

    3/4" plywood is going to sag at 90" with out a more substantial frame / internal whereas that door will probably sit flat forever with four 1x3s drilled in to the edges. I don't know what he wants to get in to yet, but yeah. If he wants to build a whole frame out of 1x3s. I was driving or just...

    Woodworking

    What are you going to sit on it? Not that it is a huge pain in the ass but you may get away with just covering it with some decent 1/4” ply or 1/2” and not bother filling in the panels. Maybe, guess I’d have to decide how lazy I was being. Seems like a great idea though. My guess is those 100...

    Sorry to hear mine isn't working out for you. I need to put something together again for my personal PC, just working on my business laptop 24/7 these days.

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

    This is a pretty incredible blog you got going. I like following along and reading the updates, and remembering why I stopped using my NUC with Kodi. There was a time when fiddling with all this was fun, maybe that’s why it is fun getting to read about someone else doing it. The thread title...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Yeah I picked them up on eBay. After looking around I didn’t see any mention of rights to matching numbers for future books, so decided to just go ahead and grab these. It would be great if another publisher like SubPress worked with him and we got the whole series and the ability to do matched...

    All that and: Obviously I'm no master criminal or terrorist, but I'm tired of the plot convenience of not shooting someone in the face when they're making trouble. Whatever it was, Episode 1 or 2 when Idris Elba is all "Hey bro, we're the same, I can help you." This guy is obviously going to be...

    Almost 6 weeks out from my spine surgery and may try to get in the shop tomorrow and finish the changing table. Trying not to overdo it but will have to be careful. Not really a whole lot left to do other than some prep sanding, spraying, putting on drawer fronts and pulls, finishing the top...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Oh yeah, sorry, this was a special print edition by a publisher that has done a limited numbered and lettered edition run of Erikson's work. A couple of us have had them so I just periodically drop a heads up as announcements come out in case anyone else is interested.

    The 1st two were kind of mediocre. Nothing specifically wrong, I guess, just not especially captivating or interesting. Will watch as I remember it exists but just started going through Warrior based on the other thread.

    SubPress is shipping Forge out this week. A couple of days ago they posted that 10 copies were available then it went back OOS with a possible few more to be released.

    Finished it and thought it was amazing. Ending was completely satisfying and the show executed on many levels. Not everyone will enjoy it because it is "odd" in some respects, but those were pluses in this case.

    Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

    I had been posting my mini-takes in the Rate Movies You Recently Watched thread. We're all caught up now and I think MI1 is the main divergence in opinion. On re-watch I found it almost unbearable. 3 was surprisingly good, and as you say, I was shocked by just how great Hoffman was in it. Did...

    We were wondering how the login thing would work while in our hotel in Branson this last weekend. Plus I’ll be in Franklin, TN again next week for work in the hotel. So far there haven’t been problems but we just keep waiting. Wife’s mom has said that if she gets kicked out she’ll just PayPal us...

    TRON: Ares

    I mean, she named herself after a degenerate. Wasn’t ever much hope there to begin with. As for Leto, I like the guy but maybe there’s something out there I missed out that soured everyone. Of course I also like 30 Seconds to Mars ssssoooo….

    Games You Regret Spending Time On?

    I had a lot of those moments with EQ. But my parents also challenged me appropriately about what I was spending my time doing and forcing me to defend some of it. It helped me think more critically of the social interactions, guild leader interactions, and so forth. Trying to explain to my folks...

    Warhammer 40,000 Novels

    About 60% finished with Decent of Angels and I really liked most of this 1st part with the disconnected Caliban story. Was a good change of pace from the previous books. At the risk of blaspheming these stories, the whole best friends, one bound for good one bound for evil thing is getting a...

    My Mom dug up some old pictures of us on vacation in Destin and found one of me playing SNES. Not 100% sure what game I was playing so thought I'd ask. In my head it should be Earthbound but that doesn't look like the cartridge.

    Extraction (2020)

    About the same as me and what Sanrith mentioned above. The whole thing felt like one long XBox cutscene. And while cool, at some point is a little long in the tooth. Maybe? At least Wick had various story elements and world building, so forth. As has already been said though the Prison Scene...

    Watched Doctor Strange 2 today and didn't love it. There were some cool ideas and pieces that seemed like they would have made a good movie. Nothing regarding America Chavez or her multidimensional punching ability, or how Scarlet Witch was used, seemed interesting. I can't even remember what...

    If it isn't super wavy and that is mostly just noticeable under light (obviously you will be able to feel some of it), don't stress. Even some of the CNC machines that I've seen do surfacing leave behind the same marks. And anyone who takes it is going to plane it or sand it down. You could hit...
