NGL, one thing which let me down a little in player housing is the "Last Architect". He had daily quests, each quest will give you a piece of decor. There are 50 quests in total he has. I thought that once you hit that 50 mark either he'd just start randomizing, or you'd get some last "big...

When I bought this house I was lucky. The previous owner was an Electrical Engineer for Raytheon. They had converted the existing 2 car attached garage into a home office and workshop for him. Then they build a detached 2 car. So I have a space for my 3d printers, and various "small...

Ah yes.. the "we need to start using the garage as well.. a garage again" moment ;) I had the same thing with our 2 car detatched. It had devolved over time into a combination workshop/storage shed for us. Then when I had to do some major structural work on it (replacing a lot of studs in the...

Maybe we just lucked out... Maybe it's the fact that she drives very little... All I know is that I had pooled up the cash to get her a nice CPO compact SUV (probably Lexus, maybe Audi from what we were shopping around) and she came up with the idea of "Can we just get the new features I want...

If you read up earlier you can see I've already done this into my wife's 2013 Ford Escape (it had a crappy Gen 1 Microsoft SYNC system). Drop in Sony head unit replacement has worked like a dream, plus the Maestro module to integrate with the cars onboard capabilities gave her new features she...

I'm hoping for that as well. But also I'm aware that the drive by investors to see everything through the lens of ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) is pushing every type of manufacturer to try to figure out a way to turn whatever they make into a "service" with a "subscription". The auto makers...

And now as a friendly public service announcement. Remember, we don't take down the Xmas avatars until the Epiphany (Jan 6th) ;)

Yes, but Anaconda will never hold the crown for worst special effect snake so long as copies of "Hard Ticket to Hawaii" are still floating around. But that was late 80's. Potentially a whole different "bad fake snake" genre....

So I have been tinkering with things and looking at how to build a model. Obviously I don't have the data centers to train a model from scratch but I was looking at incremental retraining/additions to models. I've been looking at the concept of LoRA (which is small scale adjustment/retraining...

I agree, and it's usually the fact that I'm brining up research, or asking questions about root causes, and things such as that that my PCP would often gloss over, but this PA seems to take seriously and dig in on which is why I appreciate her. My PCP loved starting off any diagnosis with "So...

This has been a strange experience for me. I have had the same PCP for around 15 years, even through them moving practices. Within the last year it finally happened where I am getting nudged into using her PA instead because she's "always booked" unless I want to schedule an appointment 2...

Unfortunately realistic take on a situation : https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2025/11/apple-carplay-general-motors/684799/ TLDR : Get ready to lose Apple Carplay and Android Auto in cars as car makers realize they can just remove those to force you into buying data plans and features...

That's been one of my biggest concerns involving the GLPs, the downshift in metabolistic energy. That's one are I fight against right now, I'll have cycles I go through where I just have serious issues generating the energy to get up, get moving, and do shit. I don't want to put more of a...

I felt this way for quite a while, now I am embracing better living through pharmaceutical sciences. I'm still not taking a GLP because I don't have that much weight, and I know the stuff I'm about to get back on (Testosterone supplementation, creatine, and possible a couple other bits once I...

And today I come to you to refresh my hatred of modern Ford vehicle engineering. Earlier I think we covered how @Mrs. Haus decided that instead of a new car we should just "rejuvenate" her existing one since it still has stupid low mileage and she doesn't drive a ton. The last step of this...

They make this point a few times in the comics , usually when he's sparring with Wonder Woman and she hands him his ass repeatedly because she was raised for combat and comes from a straight up warrior society, and has near equivalent tier strength to him apparently. As for this movie, it will...

I did not realize how good I had it.... @Mrs. Haus , some number of years ago, did a kickstarter for a "fancy mouse", and gave it to me. I've used that little workhorse for years now, and it started flaking out (would disconnect and then reconnect itself rapidly and the OS would say "That USB...

(As has been discussed a bit elsewhere)... I'm in cybersecurity, I suppose we're "AI Adjacent" as we have explicit AI security tools we sell. Admittedly only 4-5 of the "major" cybersecurity players I know of were above the S&P. But our top two competitors are both on that list, just sucks a...

Depressing moment for the month.... Realizing your company didn't beat the S&P500 this year.

Reading comprehension for the win, I mentioned that I couldn't have been happier with this turn of events. So in theory the comment should have been in the pickle tickle thread, but it was a response to someone being rustled by Chicken Noodle Soup dinner. heh

Oh yeah, @Mrs. Haus and I were chugging up into the M40+ territory just as a duo (Two DPS, no tank, no heals, no brakes!) and that was before I hit 999 vers, but there are a couple which are bugged on certain bad mechanics that don't scale right (like Eye of Azshara) and if you get those as your...

My brother in law went hard Texan on Christmas dinner this year. Turkey? Spiral ham? F that shit... Brisket and pulled pork. I don't know if I could have been happier with the outcome.

OK. I am officially in jimmies fully rustled mode... After making it a point to let me Tism flow and grind it out I get to 99,999,999 Infinite Power and despite reading multiple places about it being there, there is no FoS for it. In the write ups, including a couple blue posts on it, it was...

@Mrs. Haus getting ready to do some last minute baking for Xmas family get together tomorrow..... Looks like I'll be steering clear of the banana nut bread...

I think the very first rule of being "that girl" is that you don't need to point out or try to convince people that you're "that girl".

She bought a car with speedometer that goes to 130 and damnit she's going to get her money worth. (Full disclosure, my Caddy speedometer goes over it's max tested track speed, which I brought up as potentially false advertising when I bought it. At the advice of my counsel I am not disclosing...

And now a day later on a serious note. I find myself this morning at a juncture, a fork in the road so to say, and looking at a decision which might define my remaining career trajectory until retirement. I've been in cybersecurity sales for around 15 years now, as a pre-sales technical...

At what point does that vTuber realize they're literally just the first iteration of it? A human using an AI animated "skin", then the AI gets better, then the AI starts not needing a human to do it's talking. Assuming that vTuber isn't already actually an AI. I will admit I couldn't take...

Important identification guidelines for us olds...

This man is quickly heading towards becoming one of my spirit guides...

Maybe she needs to take notes...

Two things... First, if you want to speed level a class in Legion Remix so you can open their order hall and get whatever rewards are there (like decor for instance) with the latest patch it's pretty simple. Get high enough level to go to Heroic World Tier, then fly to Broken Shore, follow a...

That sandwich looks like it's around 2-3 more black boyfriends away from being ready to settle down...

I think the reason several people say The Batman and liked it despite the main character failing is that they know it's part of the story. In the comics there was a really popular run called "Batman : Year One" and a lot of it was about him "figuring out how to Batman". Which seemed to happen...

This sounds like their positioning to know they're going to have to buy a mountain of treasuries for all those that are expiring and have to be reissued next year. It's an insane amount, I believe around 1/3rd of the entire national debt will have to be refinanced (they're even calling it the...

My running theory... Gunn was given the helm , but with the specific caveat that he HAD to make a Superman movie first to kick things off. Superman is the exact opposite of the kind of character(s) that Gunn can do well in movies, he's a mythological level good guy, the proverbial "Big Blue...

I'm just at the "looking online for general pricing while giving it fake info so they can't call me" phase. The "actually talking to humans" phase of this shopping won't start in earnest until after the first of the year.
