    One of these, not a chest freezer. Our chest freezer is in the garage today. I wouldn't put a chest freezer back there. We've discussed ventilation in the pantry; I had that concern kind of too just in case.

    It is just a thought. The Pantry is 12' x 6' so we're not super constrained where our cheap Insignia freezer would take up too much space. Before we decided to do our own build, we saw quite a few new spec homes that were setup similarly and it seemed like a good idea. The thought process really...

    Physical: Asia

    It wasn’t too bad. They brought back some good challenges / nods to the first season of Physical: 100. Final Draft was also okay if you haven’t watched that yet. Pretty sure Itoi was in that also.

    Yeah, if we keep the fridge in that location I could always ask about bumping out the wall. It is exterior but planned to be a covered patio with an outdoor surface for grilling. But, as Cad correctly pointed out too, it’d need to be a full size single door because you couldn’t open the left...

    What did you just read?

    SubPress released a gorgeous, signed letterpress edition of "Story of Your Life" by Ted Chiang. They've published his other work and collections, but I think this is the first standalone printing. The slipcase is really stunning, and the letterpress feels great. This is probably one of my...

    That’s a good point too. Our current Samsung (22 cu ft) is counter depth and we’ve made do, so I kind of took it for granted that the new one would be too. But you’re not wrong, given a totally new kitchen we could do a full size and have more space. My head was just like, oh, well a 36” column...

    I’m sensitive to language in tv for whatever reason, maybe good maybe bad, probably has to do with having young kids. I just find excessive cussing lazy and unnecessary writing.

    Right now we’re budgeting in the below for our appliance allowance. We’re going to plumb water and everything in the pantry for a freezer. Thought being that we’d rather use the kitchen space for one large fridge that we’ll open 200 times a day and not take up footprint with a freezer that we...

    I had a similar thought about the fridge too. We’re planning on something like a panel ready 36” Monogram and then doing a separate freezer in the pantry area a chest freezer in garage. We have the stand up and chest freezer today already. I thought maybe it wouldn’t be a huge deal bc blocking...

    At least Will gets to do something. His character has been dog shit since Season 1 or whenever they finally rescued him. He just moped around with his stupid bowl cut and nothing to do for 3 seasons.

    A Man on the Inside

    Season 2 of this came out recently. If you liked the first this is more of the same, basically. Cute seeing Ted Danson and Mary Steenbergen together on screen. We’re only about halfway through the season so far but no complaints. Well, one minor speculative complaint, but we’ll see how it turns out.

    I think something has been miscommunicated due to the perspective in that screenshot and the lighting. Trying to work on making it better but not a lot of time to learn a whole new program. The guy making the plans will be providing actual 3d renderings. I'm just trying to visualize. No idea...

    That was pretty great. This whole thing was pretty mindless chop chop but entertaining. Doesn’t fully rise to ridiculous over the riot anime fighting or Crouching Tiger wire fu. It is fun. Some of the camera work during the skirmishes is really interesting. The restaurant fight going in and out...

    It is a polarizing series but I'm always disappointed when someone else can't get into it just because of how awesome I think it is. If you like the world / setting you could give Ian Esslemont a try. He writes side novels with some of the same characters but isn't nearly the same writing style...

    He really is just an evil caricature, maybe I don't mean that in such a bad way. I mean, he acts the hell out of it. Claire Danes spends the whole show with that same exasperated wine drunk confused look on her face.

    I tried to give the 1st episode a shot but everything is so over the top comically absurd. Matthew Rhys ‘s introduction and character is so heavy handed evil it isn’t even interesting. Claire Danes is playing another bipolar crazy woman but this time she’s a lesbian and somehow makes her...

    At Auburn it was not uncommon to have generational double wides. There are a lot of nick names for the school, most deserved, but really this made the most sense to me.

    We did all* the Craig Bond films back to back earlier this year and taken together I liked the story it felt like they were trying to tell with this Bond. Taken in isolation though I can see really disliking his character. Not sure if that’s a success or failure or the series. We also never...

    I don’t remember Joe Hill writing a follow up to Black Phone so I’m guessing this one is all original? I wasn’t super impressed with the 1st movie but would still give a sequel a shot.

    I’m not sure, but I don’t think we can have it both ways here… Either they rape the original 3 and butcher what was good to great (liberally using that scale for 1-3), or they make up their own slop to ruin and just attach the ME name to it. Either way it’ll 110% be shit, but at least it will be...
