    When your wife says...

    When your wife says...

    It DOES require both people actually participate. In our household , if I am "running to fetch" a meal that means I default down to one of two fast food spots (Whataburger or Cane's). So if I ask @Mrs. Haus what she wants to eat and she says "anything" she knows it's going to be one of those...

    When your wife says...

    On the topic of Dinner Decisions.... A friend of mine and Mrs Haus had a system I actually like. Whoever is bringing up the topic is responsible for coming up with three options. The responder narrows it to two options of the three provided, then the original initiator narrows it to the...

    When your wife says...

    I swear that @Mrs. Haus and I were married over a decade before we set each other up as signers on the others checking accounts. But we still both have separate checking accounts. For many of the comments in here that seem to be along the vein of "Woman says something which I know means she...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    When you realize that there are people old enough to drink legally, who were born AFTER Google was invented.... Who have never known of needing to go to a building where books were to "look something up". Try to describe how a card catalog works to someone in their 20's.....

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I will admit that when possible I just pay the toll and use the LBJ Texpress lane, but living right at 35/LBJ I don't easily get the option to just avoid it. Relevant:

    The Boys

    I think they're holding off to drive Wee Hughie to a point where he "snaps" and such. This kinda happened in the comic after enough crap landed on him.

    The Umbrella Academy

    OK, so @Mrs. Haus and I are slowly consuming this as not to run out of crap we enjoy watching. We're on the episode where one of the Swedes gets Rumored. I'm conflicted now. I am feeling sorry for the Swedes. It's kinda a crappy hand they've been dealt here. Maybe that changes in the last...

    In this case, even though she didn't have an up to date insurance card, didn't have her license on her, and wasn't listed as a driver on the insurance card her BF sent her a pic of their insurance is still accepting liability and covering. That's the only good point in the story so far. Got...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I currently drive.... a piece of crap. I was hit last week on LBJ here in Dallas. Other drivers fault. Rental car has me going from driving my Caddy CTS Vsport, to a Hundai Accent... When I'm in it I keep feeling like I should be looking to grab a blue turtle shell I could throw at someone...

    Am I a horrible person for the fact that my only take on Hurricane Laura is that I'm pissed that it's shifted course just enough that I won't get any good rain coverage for my lawn out of it?

    I believe that the canon explanation has always been that he uses a concave mirror and heat vision to shave. Hell, there's even a wiki page on it : Superman's beard

    Black Adam (2021)

    I'm cautiously optimistic, although that teaser was obviously a quick CGI generated snip just so they'd have something to show. Now, and hear me out here. If you really want a former wrestler for Lobo, and you're willing to be flexible on how buff he is for the sake of getting the lobo...

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    Depression

    You need to step up to flavor country.. (Around 1300-1400). That's where I target and the differences are enormous. I can tell you my story of this. After a string of medical issues my wife went through, and a few I went through, I was feeling generally depressed, down, tired all the time...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    There is a quote in a Heinlein book that I love that involves when keeping a budget always budget for a luxury. Having a luxury you provide for yourself is , IMHO, an important part of being a happy person. For me, that is my car. My nice Cadillac CTS V-sport. Gunmetal gray metallic exterior...

    @Mrs. Haus and I are currently on Pixel XL's (Yes, Pixel 1). Looking to move to something and conflicted. Samsung just released the 5g capable A51 and A71. Thinking about the A71. But wondering if anybody has any experience with the non-5g ones for comparison?

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    In Texas at least it's still skewing REALLY hard at the older demographic. But this seems to be independent of nursing home residency or not.

    DC is definitely going away. It's being absorbed by HBO Max. Johns sticking around gives me a little hope. On IMDB you can see Geoff Johns was primary writer for the whole season. The question will be how long that holds and when/if it transitions over to the writing teams from the Arrowverse.

    Yeah, the JSA had absolutely no reason to have won the day other than that plot demanded it.... But I'll hand wave it for the sake of it still being an entertaining show. As for why Brainwave played that last bit like he did? I'm waiting until next season when the CW writers take over...

    I have a Versa and like it. But I didn't get it for excercise reasons. For me my Dr was worried about my heart rate being low, so wanted to monitor my sleeping heart rate and all that. It's been great for that and telling me if/when I get enough steps in. I've liked it. I handed down my...

    @Mrs. Haus and I are struggling with some of this right now. Our 16 year old long haired dox Lacey has been having mobility issues. Dachshunds are notorious for spine and rear hip issues and she's no exception. She was struggling some, Doc put her on a sodium chain blocker and mild NSAID and...

    The Umbrella Academy

    Question about Allison's power.... in the first episode we see her use it to literally "blow the minds" of three men. If she told someone who was dying of stage 4 pancreatic cancer that she heard a rumor that they went into remission and had a full recovery... what would happen?

    The Umbrella Academy

    @Mrs. Haus and I are just now starting this. But since we're firmly in the "show hole" of almost nothing left to watch (with Doom Patrol ending) we're pacing this. So far Episode one seemed OK, if a little disjointed. With the NHL playoffs getting into gear I suspect we'll drag this out a...

    Doom Patrol

    Yeah, they had to lop it at 9 due to the Kung Flu. And apparently they had to do a moderate hack job to string together that episode 9. I'm seriously hoping that before season 3 when they get to shoot again they'll shoot a proper wrap for season 2. But I'm not holding my breath. On the...

    Starship Troopers (reboot)

    I honestly don't believe they could make this movie and it both be honest to the book, and even VAGUELY marketable to make money. Mostly the same way I feel about Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    Got a Ender-5 Pro back at the beginning of July. Took me almost a week to get it dialed in for PLA printing. Now a month in I haven't printed a thing on my Dreamer Flashforge clone in weeks. The Ender, so far, is just a workhorse. And a workhorse with a much bigger print volume to work with...

    Picked up some peaches today, local markets finally getting the peachs in that I like. Freestone, just the right texture, "Summer flame" variety. And the pits sink in a glass of water, meaning around a 70% chance I can finally germinate and plant some so I can stop playing "Peach Roulette" at...

    Did you see the picture of her not in makeup? I wasn't pedo stalking her, I actually saw an interview with her, which then had a reference to her imdb so I looked it up and was just kinda stunned over her age. That and the fact that in the episode this season where we see a child Niles...
