    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that as we were leaving a family of 5 Indians came in to look at the house. Adults, no kids, just adults.

    The arial doesn't do it justice. That retaining wall in the back is like 10' away and everything above it is useless as a yard. The front yard is also sloped and virtually unusable.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Just to get back on track from the stupid rice derail... Seiko released the heritage SRPL91 which is a modern replica of the watch Gene Kranz wore as Apollo Flight Director during Apollo 11 and Apollo 13. I wish I was a photographer because there's some idea I had. Unfortunately, I am not so...

    Yeah, that was the other depressing thing about everything we saw. The McMansions come on like .2 acre lots. We play outside in the back as much as we can and there's virtually no room for them in these houses.

    No, I definitely wouldn't argue that "need" is the right word. We did need to see that to know we don't want it though, so it was an important step in the process. We have (will have in Oct) three boys and we're both full time WFH so we're falling into the trap of wanting 3 rooms for the kids, a...

    Oh my God looking for a new house is depressing. We're still probably (hopefully) 18 months from moving but spend yesterday driving around to a few open houses and holy shit I want to kill myself. We looked at this $950k 4,400 sq ft new construction, and it was just the most sterile and soulless...

    Yeah, I played with mine all weekend. My red dot was zero'd very well. Blew away a couple of ants and had the kids scouring the house for flies or mosquitos but we never found any, almost went out side and started plugging stuff around bushes. Shot my hand with it and damn thing stung pretty...

    Woodworking

    I would be kind of nervous with those and the ability for the table to rack side-to-side without any sort of cross support. Even the underside view doesn't show anything. May not be an issue but was the first thing I checked b/c I've had that problem in the past. I guess there's a couple of...

    The Naked Gun (2025)

    There’s so much hilarious stuff in the first 4 episodes I had forgotten about, like the hoisted by your own retard, anything involving Jonah.

    Angie Tribeca was amazing. I need to rewatch that for sure. We just started rewatching Veep to have a background 30 min comedy. This’ll work well too.

    Wayward

    Same here. I read the book’s and watched the show but barely remember the ins and outs. I want to say the first season did all the books and season 2 was totally new stuff.

    I think we called this chicken a la king, but we were poor so it was toasted Wonderbread and canned chicken with cream of mushroom soup.

    This is the same freezer we have in our pantry / bonus whatever room, just be aware that those plexiglass whatever shelves aren't the most rigid things. You can even see on the image they have they're flexing a little. We put about half the ground beef we got from our 1/2 cow on one shelf and I...

    I have a friend with one and he says it works, but excited to try it myself. We don't really have a huge fly problem but thought it'd be a fun toy to mess with and maybe 3d print some accessories and figure out what the possibilities are. Should be here tomorrow.

    Small Press / Fine Press Editions

    On a related note, for the Robin Hobb Assassin's Apprentice release I did perhaps (probably) stupidly commit to the Lettered edition. This is kind of a speculative play, but it will be a large commitment to the whole series and maintaining rights as new books are released. I can resell the ones...

    I haven’t figured out yet if the flaming gay prince guy is a protagonist or antagonist yet (guessing “an”) but the main guy has already bagged one chick and lots of talk about breasts. I can almost see it as one of those fantasy books that women like bc it has sex and flower’s and a little...

    800 years sounds like such an unfathomably long time period given Trek's level of technology that nothing in this show should be remotely recognizable.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    I think everyone just hated Neelix and Kes and the creators remembered people like big tits so they wrote off Kes, she ends up a meth head with like multiple felonies, and bring in Jerry Ryan who does orgies with politicians. Seems like a no brainer. Voyager had some high quality trek. But you...

    Household Major Appliances

    I don’t think you’d be disappointed. We run ours 95% of the time on the default cycle but with large fill or max fill and not auto sense just to make sure we get plenty of water. I’ve done some delicates in it and not had a problem.

    Talamasca: The Secret Order

    Always down for William Fitchner. I never followed Anne Rice’s stuff to know anything about Talamasca or how it relates to the whole Vampire world she made up (or did she!). Looks interesting. Was Mayfair Witches on AMC and is this some sort of crossover / spin off?

    It has been a while since doing the deep dive but I remember reading what you said about the period of complaints, I think they changed something because other people complained about damage. Can’t remember. Maybe that’s why they released the TR line vs the TC? Just double checked again and...

    Osiris (2025)

    I have seen much much worse when it comes to movies. On some level you could argue this was actually not very bad. It wasn't very good but for what it was it executed pretty well. It is almost nothing but a corridor shoot-em-up soldiers vs. alien grunts. It wouldn't surprise me if they built a...

    That’s really odd on the performance but there’s limitless combinations of hardware. I’ve seen no issues with framegen or shutting the machine down, anything. Maybe I am fundamentally misunderstanding the issue but during my play through the FPS graph, frame time, and other stats all read fine...

    Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

    I never played Wukong so can't compare. It has some definite Chinese jank to it from a production standpoint. Things that you would expect to be interactable in the environment just aren't and it stands out in places. Things like that overall. I'm running perfect on a 9070XT with no performance...
