    What vehicle do you drive?

    I don't want to cause offence, but it's hard to overstate how hideous that is to my American tastes!

    As an alternative, you could try to stop the heat/energy/light from getting into the room, to begin with, by using exterior shutters. There are a plethora of options, but I like Bahama shutters and European style roll up shutters (manual and remote options). The main issue with the Euro style...

    Wheel of Time

    We have no idea what "turning a profit" even means to them. When you cant directly correlate products to sales, you can just decide what numbers to count and send to Mr. Bozos, to make you look good!

    Babylon 5

    They remastered and released a 4:3 1080p version on HBO Max a few years ago, and it seems that they are just going to burn those episodes to a Blu-Ray disk. The CGI is still the weakest part of the show; if they have 16:9 or 21:9 film of the rest of it, it would be awesome to get some updated...

    The Astronomy Thread

    My money would be on the smaller "planet" being in the Lagrange point of the very massive planet, so the massive planet just pushes or pulls the small one around. A planet with 7 times the mass of Jupiter would hardly feel a mass the size of Earth's moon. Edit: Oh, I guess I should have read...

    I remember reading about websites that will help you fill out and find the proper legal documents for various situations, that might allow you to successfully represent yourself in small claims. It's probably still best to pay for a consultation with a local lawyer, that knows your local laws...

    Sounds like foundation problems are in your future and it's not going to magically get better by ignoring it? Sell it now and, plead ignorance if it keeps sinking/shifting, when the new owners sue you, or be forced to fix a more expensive issue when a huge crack forms and starts messing up the...

    Jooka said it was 40 for WT3 and 60 for WT4, yesterday. Did they nerf it even more so people would stop complaining that the capstone was too hard when your 10 levels under? LOL!

    Is this the main point of contention with this movie that is the base of driving all the hate? That Tim Ballard is a Qtard? Imgur is infested with the far left, so hard to believe them, but don't care enough to verify his Qtardedness:

    I've seen spray in foam for new houses, before the drywall goes up, but is it even possible to do in fully finished out houses without ripping the drywall down? It is incredibly messy and, if it can be done, installing it in an existing house sounds even more expensive than it usually is. Also...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I only played it when EA was first released, but I think they have tooltips and a codex (help) for most everything useful that would go in a manual. Of course, that can make character creation take a long time, but you should be able to see enough pertinent info to make a choice. If you want...

    I live a couple hours from where Dr. Pepper was created (Waco), and I have never seen any of those flavors at Kroger or HEB. Maybe it's because, when I buy soda, I only buy 2L and don't even look at the 12 packs of cans?

    Their core team is still Dutch and I think their humor has a lot to do with their culture, so they will never "get rid" of it. I will withhold judgment until actually playing that game, since people have said that they seriously toned it down after getting feedback for the first Early Access...

    Thinking of weird Michelin Star rated restaurants, the "best Sushi in the world" comes from a 10 seat hole in the wall in a Tokyo subway station (3 star Sukiyabashi Jiro).

    Played a few hours so far and it feels like JA2. Difficulty seems about the same, although maybe the starting enemy is a little weaker. Mercs are powerful, but I tried to take a counter-attack and an enemy tile on at the same time. Around 20 basic enemy zerged the shit out of my 5 mercs and I...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

    Maybe it depends on the region and the decade; I've had Comcast, Grande, Verizon, Frontier, Nextlink, and Time Warner over the last 20 years, none of which had a data cap. I also want good speeds though, so maybe the shit tier speeds had caps, and I never even looked at them.

    Either Wolfheart or the Fextralife guy said that you can respec any of the origin characters as soon as respec becomes available. It's looks like you can B-line to the respec guy fairly quickly after the "intro" area, if you know where he is (I don't). It is unknown if respecing an origin...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Hawkeye was better than Loki (by far), Strange 2, Age of Ultron, Ant-man, Thor 2, Captain 1, and probably a plethora of Marvel movies/shows that I did not watch. Before the show, I couldn't care less about Hawkeye and was indifferent to his story.

    Since around the time of Dragon Age: Origin (maybe earlier), RPGs have been on the long side of development time. Five years seems to be semi common, but most of the time the projects aren't even announced until internal estimates put it a year or two out from release. I think the original...
