    Took my own advice and re-watched Romancing the Stone tonight. By re-watch it has been probably 30 years since actually seeing it. The croc eating the guy's hand was my only memory of the movie and terrified me as a child. Movie is great. Much better than The Lost City. We'll probably do Jewel...

    The Lost City (2022)

    It made me want to go back and watch National Treasure. I also just assume this is better than the Uncharted movie I never bothered with. Brad Pitt was the best part. Channing Tatum and Sandra didn't have any chemistry. Super weird watching a 40 year old dude fawn all over a 57 year old, even...

    They/Them (2022)

    It is very similar behavior to a few previous posters that have 86’d themselves from the forums before. On topic: I’ll give Blumhouse the benefit of the doubt here. They put out / produce a lot of stuff and not all of it is great but they still manage to drop some gold. They’re like the SciFi...

    It is both. But that is the reason I don't want to dig too much up and risk damaging the surface roots and further down any other. Building "up" may not be ideal but hopefully even with felt and mulch on top would allow them to get rain and not kill the soil beneath, etc. I'm not worried about...

    Thanks for the input. It’ll be a process but yeah I’d like to get that area a little more grassy. I think for the play area rather than trying to dig all that whole area out and remove a metric half ton of earth I’ll build my perimeter with stacked / recessed landscape piers. Do a layer of the...

    Will spoiler these for size and try to answer. Not sure how to break up your quote to specific points. To address your last paragraph: Yeah, there is a big drain problem here for sure. My previous house's yard wasn't laid out anything like this. Was barely a yard since I was on the side of a...

    Salt and Sacrifice

    The third mage hunt? The Poison one? I have no idea if all these are the same order for everyone. I just did that one at level 6 with the Fire sword I made after killing the 1st mage. Took like 2 tries. It was funny b/c one of the green spear knights ran in to the fight and I just sorta hung out...

    Only had about 30 minutes to try this out tonight, did the 1st mage hunt. Seems pretty good so far. I mean, basically seen nothing and only have the 1st couple of skill points.

    Does the packet loss exist on both wired and wireless connections to / through the Orbi? I know you mention hard wired above but didn’t know if that meant, to everyone, a client laptop connected directly to the CM or the Orbi. If it happens both wireless and wifi through the Orbi, is it...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    Do they have a Kickstarter? I’d fund it just to read the pages of ways Utnayan would come up with to express his hatred and disapproval. They’d have to invent a new thesaurus.

    There was a special edition of this series that Subterranean Press was putting out with Grim Oak Press... But I can't get the link or page to work anymore. The announcement was 5 days ago and it said 1,000 copies available. Maybe it is already gone...

    I went all Ego line for my blower, edger, trimmer, etc but stuck with a Craftsman gas mower. Even with a small yard it felt like electric wasn’t quite worth it. The Craftsman was $100 something and still uses the Briggs and Stratton engine. So far have been happy with it. I’m sure I would have...

    I'd jump on that for sure if you were interested at all in owning a planar. The DeWalt DW735 (or X model) is like $500+ can't remember what the deal I got at Lowe's was. This one is only single speed it looks like, but does that really matter? Ridgid has questionable longevity with Emmerson not...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Well your point is still wrong. It works exactly as I have been describing. I tested the balance every 1/2 turn of the adjustment screw with the exact same results. No setting allowed me control over the vertical tilt of the monitor. Every position the monitor tilts itself back up. The lightest...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Thanks, will watch tomorrow since I’m already in bed. But the 2nd response from the Ergotron rep basically sums up what I’ve been saying. Even with it turned completely counterclockwise, at the loosest setting, it still moves to tilt up. I cannot adjust it (turn it counterclockwise) enough to...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Okay look, I have it, I set it up and have the instructions. The screw turns both ways, one way tightens it and increases the resistance and one way decreases the resistance. If it is fully tightened the damn thing doesn’t move at all and points up to the ceiling (not really, exaggerating). If...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    That does make sense and probably why it hasn’t been noticeable in actual use and only stood out while setting it up. As far as adjusting though, that screw is as loose as it will go and still forces it upwards. But, see above, it won’t end up mattering and your explanation makes sense. If I...

    Came in on time and got it set up on the Ergotron. Only thing so far with the arm is that the TUF doesn't seem to be heavy enough to keep the "head" of the mount level, even on the lightest setting. I can tilt it down to face straight on but the springs are so tight it tilts back up slightly. In...

    Blizzard’s Arclight Rumble

    Thread title should be “Blizzard’s Warcraft Arclight Rumble” because they can’t go two sentences without saying the whole name Warcraft Arclight Rumble. They can’t stop doing Warcraft stuff and reminding us. And they couldn’t name it Warcraft: Arclight Rumble. Apparently this name irritates me.

    Put a couple of hours in this yesterday and so far really enjoy it. Very charming atmosphere, the way the "tutorial" and instructions are handled are cool and unique (to me). It is something that feels well put together and fun to explore. Maybe a Zelda-Lite in some respects that it was going...

    Need to try this, maybe tomorrow. I cut out almost all Monster but still cheat once every few weeks. The new Mt. Dew Spark Zero was okay. The Flaming Hot was not hot. Just an annoying aftertaste and after two swigs was too sweet to keep trying. I’m 95% regular water and Topo Chico these days...

    Who knows how the whole conversation played out. Probst, at any time, could have pointed out exactly what you mention.

    It would explain the “connection” that Rhett (or is it Perry? Who really cares) has with Autumn and their cryptic conversations. Very dumb idea though. Any father would recognize his child immediately. That whole idea is used throughout history in stories. And the age difference between Amy and...

    If I ever get the bench on my side wall cleaned off I'm planning the same thing. The previous owner had "something" there because there is already a cutout to sit the miter saw in.

    I try and allot enough time at the end of the work day to clean up and then at the end of a project more or less do a reset. Use the leaf blower to blow out the shop, sweep, vacuum, dust everything down. Then turn around and junk it up again lol. The polyaspartic flooring really helps to...
