Oil talk, nice! I have to link the obligatory educational oil article from BobistheOilGuy.com. It is written for the layman gearheads, and explains almost anything you want know about automotive oil, itself. For example, it shows why you should drive like an old granny until your vehicle's...

If you want to recommend food places, go for it. I mostly went with places that had multiple locations with reasonable expectations. There is no point listing some mom and pop Italian/Tex-Mex/Steak places that are in the burbs, far away from anywhere a tourist might be. If I need to make it...

Yes, I live in Texas, and the Rudy's in Round Rock and next to Lake Travis are both great (or at least were, 10 years ago). I like a spicy low sugar very vinegary BBQ sauce. I have never had Rudy's outside of Austin, and everyone I have talked to that hates them, had them outside of Austin.

Almost forgot, if you are looking for good produce for the road trips, I highly recommend Central Market, if there is one close to where you are staying (it might even be worth taking a small detour). They have the widest variety of apples and oranges I have ever seen and I have never had a...

It you want educational: Dallas/Ft. Worth (if you are doing the JFK stuff)(never been to any of these, just ideas): (Ross) Perot Museum of Nature and Science - Seems to be popular Dallas Aquarium - Ft. Worth has the Zoo, Dallas has the Aquarium Dallas Arboretum - Girls like flowers, and 66% of...

From what I remember when researching wifi upgrades (and settling on a Ubiquiti Unifi system): 5.2 GHz waves wont penetrate nearly as well as the old 2.4 Ghz but they handle much higher speeds, so it can depend on what materials it is going through in terms of what kind of signal you can get...

It is currently three abilities slots per equipped weapon and you can only equip two weapons. Each weapon has 6 total abilities (3 in each tree) to chose from. All three ability slots are unlocked when you unlock the weapon slot. The first weapon slot [ 1 ] is unlocked from the start, and the...

Here is a lecture video on a modular nuclear reactor, that could work. It fits inside an semi-truck, so maybe they could get the weight low enough to launch it. Nuclear will probably have a bunch of issues just getting approved for a launch, as any accident could rain radiation on various parts...

I've always disliked Crutchfield, they used to charge the same prices as local shops (or more) and only had a few top quality brands (things might have changed, I haven't looked at them in 8+ years). If you can't install it yourself, you have to go to a local shop to get it installed anyway, so...

This is what the steam reviews indicate as well (traps are worthless, agents are OP, the world map is a facebook game, and only 3 stats make some old rooms worthless). It sounds like they dumbed down and changed too much shit from the first game. How disappointing.

When in drive, w/o any action on the gas peddle, an automatic still has ~1000 to 1500 RPMs (depending on the vehicle) going to the wheels. This will cause an auto to always roll forward on a flat surface. Whereas a manual will have no power going into the drivetrain when the cluch is fully...

I watched it over a 100 times, to figure out how her shoulders work, so you didn't have to. You are welcome. 0shrym7

Three people handle a Blue Ring Octopus and live to tell the tail. Australian news article (Inside Edition also has a video, but fuck them): https://7news.com.au/technology/tiktok/clueless-tourist-accidently-holds-one-of-the-worlds-deadliest-creatures-while-holidaying-in-bali-c-2432122

Every time I think about Dealerships, I think about a movie from 1999 called Suckers. If you want to show people how dealers work (and high pressure sales in general) it is a go-to movie. It is a comedy in the same vein as Super Troopers, in that, the underlying plot doesn't matter, and it is...

Indeed, but people that know about cars, and can price out value are a minority of the public. Frankly, an informed buyer is not a demo any car company's marketing and sales department want to deal with. An informed buyer is the bane of all high pressure sales tactics. It is much harder to take...

While I am sure there are various demographics that they are looking at, such as people that have so much money they don't care (the rich parents demo), people that will pay the price for nostalgia, or people that are just, generally, bad with their finances; there are other factors at play...

Wait what.... It seems that I have been under the impression that Pedro Pascal and Rupert Friend were the same person, for years. I liked him in Homeland, so I was happy to see him get a part in Game of Thrones and then get his own show in Mandalorian. This is the second time this has happened...

The outpost gets more expensive by how many jumps it is from the closest owned system. Any system in your zone of control is considered owned (if a system has an enemy planet, there are additional factors to contend with). So there is no need to delete them, afaik.

Damn near perfect figure, but also, how does this not twist the lateralis dorsi up (I thought it was attached to the shoulder, below the rotator)? Edit: Ok, I watched it enough times to see it. As the dislocated shoulder pops back into place, it sends the twist up to the wrist. You can see...

My original impression, while watching it, was that Synder was giving Jonn Jonzz the additional power of seeing the various possible futures, along with his other mental abilities. So he knew Lois needed to do something, or else Darksied would win. Additionally, it was Jonn that was projecting...

I disagree, I hate everything about Leto's Joker and it ruined the end times epilogue, for me. It looked like was doing a poor impression of Hammal's Joker voice, while using some mopey mannerisms. If he was in this movie, I doubt I would watch it.

Early/mid game you can abandon planets by manually moving all populations on the planet to other planets. You can also set your empire to purge all alien races (in edicts (?:emoji_nose: and limit what races can immigrate or stop AI immigration altogether (in edicts for all races, and race tab for...

Nenneke: Adjoa Andoh (Bridgerton, Silent Witness). A priestess of Melitele, and the head of the Temple of Melitele. Ba’lian: Kevin Doyle (Downton Abbey, Happy Valley). A new character

Here they are, so you dont have to click the link: Dijkstra: Graham McTavish (Outlander, The Hobbit). He was a master spy and head of special forces for the kingdom of Redania. Philippa Eilhart (already posted, but here is another picture): Cassie Clare (Brave New World, The Bisexual)...

Edit [missed Brad's post so here is more info on that video]: Mark Rober, the NASA engineer who made the glitterbomb for porch pirates, for the last two Christmases, decided to turn the glitterbomb (and the law) on some Indian scammer's US connections. This is in partnership with two other scam...

Autumn, one of Synder's daughters, killed herself in the middle/start of post-production. The suits wouldn't or couldn't wait for him to grieve and get back into the saddle. So Whedon is who they could get on short order that checked all their boxes for a replacement.

I was looking for the mod to help the late game pop issues but couldn't find it earlier (I should have bookmarked the reddit post about performance issues). So, I just went back and looked again at the all time popular mods. I think it was part of a compilation of performance mods called "!! 00...

Haven't played in ~5 months, but I always have at least a dozen mods active (last game had 150+ mods active). I usually forget what mods I really liked (or can even tell which are which, sometimes), when I go to start a new game. So, I just surf around various up-to-date mod collections and look...

How it's made: Rice Noodles (traditional cooking) From rice grains to rice noodles with no electricity. Something different and somewhat interesting.

The fortress might be part of a DLC that adds ~10 boss type events to the game. They can reward you with a unique technology, ship, or building (I think it gets sent to your capital). NPC factions can also do the event, and prevent you from getting it. Last I played, the fortress was buggy with...

One of the main figures in the game is a man dancing from a tree.

Those are generally great guards for entry points into your empire. The AI empires don't generally settle next to them or jump a bunch of systems past them, to settle. Robots will open borders to most everyone though, so enemy warships can pass through them (sometimes). The Holy Guardians can...

Fallen Empires are (usually) fairly easy to placate, and nice to have as border protection. You can survey the surrounding systems but don't settle them (within 1 jump), until you know what kind of Empire they are. Quick run down of the 4 types: Spiritualists are a holy warrior fallen empire...

I have never played small or medium maps. I like to play the largest map settings on all 4x games I play. I want plenty of exploration and a lot of AI players to interact with. For this game, I end up being done when the game is too slow. Mods can help a decent amount, in controlling the...

PSA: (Last I played) Huge+ galaxies start to have performance issues with genetic engineering in the mid-late game. Different subspecies are treated as a different race, which each require their own computations from the AI for things like migration, happiness, reproduction, and so on. The game...

Crusader Kings 3 free "weekend," ends Sunday (21Mar2021) @ 10am PDT

100% From what I remember, beta characters in DoS & DoS2 were not transferable to live. Saves may or may not be compatible between major beta patches, even.

Since it's the 15th, here is the best documentary on the Assassination of Julius Caesar: As a bonus, Caesar's funeral with Mark Antony shenanigans included:

Yes, you can transfer all your stuff to a fresh server by just logging back and forth with overloaded inventory if you want. The only thing that may not be transferable, is the boss trophy you hang on the stone for the buff (I never tried to remove it).
