    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I went to a Fry's here local in Irving Texas a week or so ago to pick up some 2d printing filament... On a lark I wandered over to the video card section. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Fry's Irving Video Card Stock Report!

    Doom Patrol

    THe first season was essentially gulaged onto the DC streaming service which few people had... Then it showed up on HBO Max, but even then they didn't push it much. BTW, Season 3 just started filming.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Seeing that I have been around online communities since the mid 80's, the days of the BBS, saw the internet as we know it in it's infancy. Embraced and loved the fact of free information, a wild west of meritocracy. Now seeing that 4 companies will now effectively decide who most people can...

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

    I USED to butterfly... Now it would be like "buttercollapsing" since I'm in my 50's. heh Yeah, knees took a beating because of that, and that I used to play indoor court volleyball recreationally (also not knee friendly). The worst was that I played in crap hockey leagues with defensemen who...

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

    I know those feels..... I'm in that boat from years of goaltending in hockey.... @Mrs. Haus played sports in high school and has had to have both knees scoped, used to be able to hear crackling inside them.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    @Mrs. Haus and I duo Torghast (she's a disc priest, I'm a fury warrior, both Kyrian Covenant, both in the 178-180 iLevel range). And we plowed Cromwell 8 pretty easily. What is it that keeps killing/frustrating so many?

    Doctor Who

    They're both British but obviously of immigrant decent. Both good and funny actors. Both (looking at their respective twitter feeds) somewhat to very geek/gamer centric. Both have signature roles in SciFi/Geeky shows (iZombie and IT Crowd)

    Doctor Who

    I wouldn't go so far as to say bring back Tennant or Smith. But the rest I am fully on board with. The key being bring on people (both show runners, writers, directors, and actors) who have a level of reverence for the characters and mythos. This is what worked at Marvel, what Favreau is...

    Letterkenny

    By radio show do you mean "Crack and Ag"? That was local access cable.... And it was pretty golden. The one featuring McMurray's newfound measurements was a work of art. My only problem is I'm getting this feeling that any time they need witty banter delivered they're just falling back on...

    Doctor Who

    Yeah, but Barrowman still carries a lot of sway in the Doctor fandom. Not to mention he's been pretty good in about everything I've seen him in. I think they JUST MIGHT be starting to get an inkling that they have screwed and potentially killed a golden goose. They're just not getting as...

    Doctor Who

    I haven't watched this yet.... I hear they decided to try to bring in the biggest gun they could, Captain Jack, to essentially tell the audience (by way of telling the Doctor) that they're STILL DOCTOR WHO even though they've undone the entirety of 50+ years of continuity... Is that about spot...

    The Mandalorian

    I agree this is probably the biggest issue. There's a piece of wisdom that I picked up early in my career which I believe has served me admirably, that being : "No matter how earned it is, no matter how good it sounds, never buy your own hype" Maybe this changes when you get into the...

    Oh how I miss the presence of a Kip's Big Boy in Dallas. (Last one closed in the 90s) It was the default late night food spot during high school for me.

    OK, so @Mrs. Haus and I just one seating binged season 2. (Discovered this show last month). Does it keep up this level through season 8? Seriously, she and I haven't laughed that hard at something on the TV in my memory. Specifically the description of Squirrely Dan's Date Night where his...

    Smokers / Grills

    My only concern about pellets is locking ones self into that form factor for fuel. With traditional setups you often can roll wood, charcoal (brickettes or lump), a combination, whatever. With pellets if this is a "fad" that means in a few years you will have a harder and harder time finding...

    Ham vs Turkey

    Two points... First... Second , to the turkey haters.. I will also put my money on "Lrn2cook". If you can't brine and smoke/roast a turkey then Lrn2DeepFry. Actually, a third point... Being in Texas, I'm thinking about trying to make brisket the Christmas meat.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Watched this last night. It was entertaining. Finding it hard to believe that it's not pre-scripted for the stuff like modifying the cars. But I'm OK with that. It's about seeing these three guys do ridiculous things involving cars, and if that's what you are wanting, you're satisfied with this.

    The Expanse

    This I can wholeheartedly be behind. I'm only on Ep 1 so far of this season, so still hoping Alex helps bring Bobbi back to being "kick ass marine mercenary". I know they wanted to flesh out his character with the family story, but so far it just looks to be a beating intended to remind him of...

    Smokers / Grills

    Yeah, it's pretty much getting a smoker and smoker mods, or you get into building AR-15s. I'm still on the edge of picking up an easy bake smoker... Just waiting to see what volume of deals close in December at work to determine how crazy I'll let myself go.

    Resident Alien

    That's my problem as well. He has yet to be in anything I didn't enjoy watching him in. And honestly I think he deserves a chance to be a lead in a show. I just hate that it takes him away from Doom Patrol as he was so damn perfect in that role.

    Resident Alien

    This show is why we're not getting more of him as Mr Nobody in Doom Patrol, it has best not suck..... But I guess he had a chance to star in a show he had to take it. (Yes, I'm already prepared to be let down on this front) Good then he can get back to Doom Patrol.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Does this take into account that they apparently have to pay $70 to every Trans gamer in the world?

    Batwoman

    OK, so do we want to place bets on if this raises or lowers the ratings for this show? My bet is a week one increase over last years average number, regressing to the mean by mid season, and an overall drop by end of season.

    So at this point should we demand that if you pay $70 for the game you also send $70 to someone who is circumcised?

    They're going the "You need two villians" route... In this case Maxwell Lord (who essentially was 80's Trump in the DC Universe) and Cheetah.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah, I want to get this. But I'm running a dual card nvidia set up... (GXC 760 + GTX 660). So I figure I will grab a new video card first. When your right can't do WoW on highest settings on your 4k monitor you can pretty much bet Cyberpunk 2077 will just "mix it up" and go in dry...

    There was a time I tried to angle for duplicating that. Then went with a real butter and salt routine and it tasted almost exactly like the popcorn my grandfather would make for us to eat during Monday Night Football when I was a child. Nostalgia/sentimentality kicked in and that's how I've...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    Here's what I use..... Works like a champ for me, and one of these will last around 10 years, which I consider good duration for a mostly plastic countertop appliance. Although I admit I don't use it's butter melting cup. I use a glass in the microwave set to 45 seconds to melt down butter.
