Late night TBS or USA, on Friday and Saturday night, had all the good movies. Watching Lifeforce, The Thing, and even Kagemusha, while still in grade school, defiantly made an impression.

It is defiantly a roll of the dice, moreso on a blind purchase of the seized/abandoned cars. With gov cars, you can generally assume that they have a bunch of idle time but they generally have been kept up on maintenance (unless it's a cash strapped (D) city that underfunds their motorpool)...

Do you live near a big city? You could try to find some government auctions for old .gov cars and civil forfeitures (Example: City of Denver has 204 cars on auction, right now (Direct Link:emoji_nose:. I feel bad for all the car aficionados that have to go through all the salt damage, like that. I like...

The chance of getting a water damaged car, on a blind salvage purchase is too high, imo. Search for "flood damaged car issues" and a bunch of stuff comes up on what too look for/problems (Example: Consumer Reports Article) So one would really need an accident report or some kind of 3rd party...

When you are talking about particular cars, and you were (you quoted the stupid expensive Porsche) it is not a poor investment. As @Mizake said, it is a way to diversify your portfolio with hard assists. Most cars, even shitty Pinto like hatchbacks have a curve were they stop depreciating and...

Found the strange:

I vaguely remember that Mando donated a large portion of the Beskar he received to the group, in season 1?

Maybe the tolerance for purity may be larger for use as fuel, over that of other hydrogen applications (and therefore doesn't need testing or electrolysis conversion in particular doesn't need it)? There are/were some companies (for example (dunno how/if they stay(ed) in business:emoji_nose: that have...

Hydrogen can be made much more stable and possible crash safe by combining it with hydrides in the tank. Unfortunately, it seems that this process currently needs a whole bunch of rare earth elements to work. So, as long as China controls the market it wont be a competitive option (the cost of...

The foremost benefit of the push and funding of a brain to computer interface is so, when we achieve an advanced enough sentient AI, there is the possibility that it will see a use for humans, and not just kill us all. AI research is more advanced, and has more funding/incentives than brain...

There is probably some disagreement (on the dev team) on how that would affect the power curve of confederating nations vs a killem all nation ("Settra does not serve"). It also affects the player's power vs the AI for unmodded legendary campaigns (not that there is a cheve for that, or...

It could be an opportunity to introduce a handful of characters from Clone Wars/Rebels as well. These characters may still be alive (?)(don't know how long these races live): https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Cad_Bane https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Hondo_Ohnaka The "noble" bounty hunters...

Yea, didn't really think about it that much this season, but it was talked about last season, in the thread. Everything fit within the world which they built and nothing felt shoehorned in for some agenda. I guess that's part of the consistency of holding with last season and it's almost a...

This may take a few watches to fully appreciate. The last time I touched MacBeth was in high school, so it was difficult to follow the prose at time (which was a distraction). The acting was top notch, but the artistic style dominated everything. It is best described as a blend of theater and...

After first viewing, I liked this season as well as last. It is still in the same ballpark as Invincible, Castlevania, and Arcane. It's not as dark as Invincible, and more of an adventure than Arcane. It had some twists and wasn't totally transparent or predictable on where it was headed.

Season 2 is up now. Will binge it, eventually.

There is little MS could do to make WoW any worse for players. Their current business model (suits) seems to be hands off (kinda). They bought InXile before Wasteland 3, and the game didn't seem to suffer for it. Around the same time they purchased Obsidian, while Outer Worlds was in...

Picture diary of the assembly of a CNC kit from China, kinda neat:

Good job walking away from those emotional manipulative sales tactics. The farther they get people into the sales process, the more likely people are to overlook (or give up and pay) such scumbag maneuvers. Car sales in particular has invested a ton of money in the psychology of high pressure...

Obviously Jabba instituted universal premium healthcare and those hipsters were taking advantage by "accidently" losing their limbs. Also, the Vespas must have been the Obama phones of Tatooine.

Starfield has a decent chance of being shit too. Bethesda keeps trying to profit off the mod scene, when it's the mods that keep the PC game alive, give it depth, and keep sales flowing (DLC & Box). So they will eventually drive people/modders away, by trying to control them. Then gamers will...

In the games and shows I have played/watched, the Hutts are/were a huge power in the outer rim, with their own territory akin to the republic or separatist in the prequals. Hutt space was centered on Nal Hutta, and their territory/government was mostly modeled after the five families of the New...

With moving violations (as they are classified in the US), legality only matters with how likely it is to getting caught, plus the fine for the violation. In the states, the chance of getting caught is extremely low and the fine is inconsequential. Although the fine is probably much higher for...

Pretty sure he meant there are laws requiring a new resident of a state to register their car(s) in that state within X amount of days, which is true. As always, like you mentioned, there are legal hoops that one can jump through to get around such things. ...or you can just keep your car road...

He was great in Entourage. That's the only thing, outside of watching AFV as a kid, that I have seen him in. Dunno how good any of the clips are out of context though:

If only I was good at photoshop, so I could try to make a Boba "Dog" Fett the Bounty Hunter mashup. For this show, the less legacy content you know/have consumed, the more enjoyable the show probably is. I didn't consume any of that legacy stuff, so I find it watchable, but it could have been...

That seemed rather silly when watching it, but thinking more on it, what did Boba do in current Cannon to make him a great fighter? In Clone Wars TV series and the prequals he was still a kid. The Clone Wars had some episodes of him under the tutelage of "evil" bounty hunters, but mostly to...

With costs that high, it looks like it would be beneficial, if you were really into collecting cars (or just want to own two nice, high HP cars), to buy some cheep land in a non-EU country, just to keep the cars registered there. What is that Tax called? Here, the big payment when you initially...

For the yearly car registration tax, I find paying $120 car tax irritating (when I already payed sales tax), let alone huge yearly $3000 tax to drive to the store. So, if I somehow found myself living in the EU, I would be driving a 2 stroke death machine because paying such a tax would offend...

Could import many cars from US or UK for cheaper than that. Maybe just not a BMW or Merc. According to the internet search on imports: Germany has a 10% import tax and the EU has a 19% import VAT. So, for example, you could import a new, base model Chevy Corvette to Germany, with taxes paid...

A cold driver is an alert driver; fuck all the yankees and their remote start car warm up in the morning, I guess! Regardless of it's a abuse potential, it's a problem, as it is written. As I'm sure you already know(the oil industry is probably one of them), a decent amount of businesses have...

I'll put 50 on the dragons being albino. The Targaryens are going to be black, and who can resist the image of a giant white dragon being dominated by strong black women...

Afaik, the motherless bite is independent, so you should be able to get a double bite doing that. There is a alchemist (vivi) build that goes full on natural attacks that gets double bite, with motherless and feral mutagen. For most of the game I had trouble landing bites on the Vivi build (w/...

Last I played, shortly before release, I used a two man team of rogues to sneak a bunch of books, cores, and engi research. I had to babysit the team, the whole way up north, but I only really had trouble with fogmen (hard to avoid their territory from where my base was). The fastest guys could...

Looks like you need to bring up your point of personal privilege, at a meeting, to get some credential based waver in lieu of training put into the rulebook. I only looked at what it would take to use their Jointer and Planer. It looked like one weekend morning, where they turn it on, show how...

Oct.10, 2020: 1 man, 1 woman, and 2 dogs were on the trail (Black Bear Pass, CO) in the jeep. Male driver gets out to help a stuck vehicle. Jeep e-break gave out. Woman and dogs were ejected as it rolled down the mountain. All lived, but woman suffered severe spinal injuries. She is still in...
