    For Florida: A lot of IL people seemed to have gravitated to the gulf coast between Ft. Myers and Naples. I would never live there though. I hate the bugs, the extra humidity of it all, and sand. It also seems to have a much higher percentage of sketchy people than any other state. I have worked...

    Yea, It's not that all that information that the above website is offering is directly tied to a plate; it's that the plate gets you a name and address, then the internet offers tools to get the rest of the info. The more you are willing to pay, the more accurate it will probably be. Posting...

    The question is: Is it responsible for a dog breeder to continue to breed and select for these traits that are known to cause issues in a large percent of said breeds, or for owners to support said breeders, when you can instead select for longer noses and undo some of the issues? It also...

    Yea, wow, the price on the only spiral pattern bit is a little high: Maybe I will just go with using a bushing and one of the regular $20-40 1/4" Bit & Bit or Freud carbide spiral bits (with a bunch of shallow passes and needing to calculate the offset of the bushing). I have read that you...

    It's going to be A1 white oak ply, yea. I thought with a jig set up, like the guy in that video, it would prevent chipping the face with an upcut, but he said a downcut is what he would use, if he didn't have the collar set up he used.

    I was wondering how well the epoxy "river" is really bonded to the wood, and if that is strong enough to put up with the stresses put on a door through normal use. Didn't even think of the humidity of the bathroom causing issues all by it's self. On a different note, I need to router some LED...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Outside of the slightly different headlights and the color, it doesn't look like they changed much. I'm sure they probably updated the interior quite a bit though, as the shadow of the seats look different and interior style preferences usually change more than exterior ones. Those type of cars...

    Bad Batch in general or just season 3? The show in general is good, but not great. It's the Clone Wars without the Jedi, so that should be where your expectations are. The little girl (Omega) can get annoying, but I assume Filoni is trying to use the Ashoka template for her, and we are just in...

    Best bet seems to go off of Rtings.com scores, as they use a mostly unbiased testing method that you can evaluate how important each part is, to you. I briefly looked at wireless but they may get hotter on the ears than wired sets, and they don't seem to perform as well as equally priced wired...

    You should start adding up the money you spend on gas, then let him know how much he is "saving" every time he complains! I'm sure it will make him feel better! "$40k difference in price is rough, but at least you are saving $300 a month in gas, so it's definably worth it! After 10 years of...

    They all look the same to me! Same color though, wiki says the Cree experimented on Yondu's race with Gene mods, so the blue is from Cree DNA? At least for the GOTG movie, it looks like the exact same paint, which now looks much darker in that marvels SS.

    Ronan and Yandu looked awesome, these Cree look retarded. I stopped and went back, because I thought it was due to the hair, but nope, they all look terrible. At least the guy in the back has a Dark Elf vibe for the next DnD movie.

    Small nitpick: Probably not intended but this gives the impression that Maul created Death Watch, but they were around before Maul. Clone Wars gave the impression that all of Concordia (moon of Mandalore, where the extremists/separatists/old way followers were exiled) had turned to the Death...

    Maybe a parody account? Otherwise, what math even gets those numbers? I can't tell where the mistakes were made. A 5% daily compounding interest on $30, starting Jan 1, is way more than 32.92 by Jan 31. Even if you only count 20 business days in January....that's $79.60? Edit: Playing around...

    A large part of it for me is Grogu. The puppet was fine for the first season, where it gave a underlying uniting theme in, what I thought was going to be, a bounty hunter show. By the time season 2 was over, I was glad he was gone and thought it could get back to being a bounty hunter show...

    Here you go, a whole reddit post on it. Need to click on the thread, as it looks like someone tried to DMCA a bunch of copies of the Facebook video.

    Hopefully, if they have old man Rex in a show, they lean into it much better than they did with him meandering though Boba Fett. Rex should be a tactics guy, a General or Admiral if you will, not some action star, that they try to make him perform as if he is 30 years old. Well, at least in...

    First idea for the water ways, and maybe roads to eliminate hand painting, when I saw the piece before: Use the CNC to cut the river channel in the uncut board first. Fill those channels with the "water" tinted epoxy. Then cut the topographic map, milling the epoxy with the wood. Main...

    I have been stretching what it can do, and I can handle playing at 30 FPS, if that's what it takes. I don't play enough GFX intensive games for it to matter that often.

    Pubs, in the midwest US at least, are a bit different, in that a decent amount of them try to have good food too. Food draws in business from 5pm to 9pm, then bar business takes over after that. These are the hole-in-the-wall gems. Strangely enough though, the best Irish Stew I have ever had...

    Food wise, I thought the UK was meat pies and stews for local fare? Beef Wellington? Steak and Ale pie? Cottage and Shepard's Pie? Cornish Pastry? In the US we have Irish Stew at a lot of Pub type restaurants, made with a stout beer and lamb with a side of soda bread. I figured there was some...
