You also need to make use of some of your credit though. Just having open lines that are sitting at $0 don't do that much and using your credit, obviously may lead to getting charged interest. It may be worth it, if your sitting at a 650 and you want get a better 30 year fixed rate by getting...

Strangely enough, the prices were the lowest in 2 or 3 xpacs when Dragonflight was in it's first month, at around 130,000 gold. Now its back to Legion prices: You can convert tokens you buy with gold into game time OR ActiBliz credit (to buy anything on their store, even Destiny 2 was on...

Wop wop. The Classic Token has arrived. Was going to post this in the retail thread, since it's kinda funny, but I guess here is better.

"Hardcoded" is the only keyword I have seen for something like that. I don't think players can process multiple fonts in the same subtitle file, maybe? I often have issues with playing only subs for the foreign language parts in a lot of English primary movies/TV.

Sucks that you ran into electrical shenanigans. I wouldn't be surprised, when you climbed up into the attic, to see that ADT alarm box was also spliced into the same electrical that is tied to that fuse. I would be mostly concerned that the fuse could not handle the equipment you want to put...

FTL travel is time traveling into the past. You don't need a telescope, you just fly around in circles at FTL and you will arrive before you departed. Wormholes have the same problem, as you can use them to time travel, just as you can use them to travel between two points in space. Also, FTL...

A site like that, yea. That one looks like it scraps data from more places, so it's probably the best you are going to get now days. The old ones used to allow you to filter out crimes, the dates they occurred, and then search over a wider area. Also, on spotcrime, sexual assault and murder are...

I had acquaintances that were in the security field (mostly commercial systems) and one of them showed me how to track crime in DFW, Houston, and Austin (around 2005). For many years after that I would poke around those websites on a semi-regular basis. Nowhere is "safe," if you are within an...

Oh, well I hope they fix that before 1.0 is released! The Sseth review was what made it look promising, and it has had numerous updates since then.

The dome type camera is fairly low profile and you can paint most of them (outside of the front face) to match the color of your house. Otherwise, to get a truly inconspicuous set up, you would need to build your house around them. There are most likely heavy trade offs in cost/quality, just to...

Many are hardwired, by taking over the existing doorbell wiring, as Lanx says, but it can depend on the camera. There are battery operated WiFi ones from Blink, Ring, and others (for various uses where taking over the hard wire wont work, like apartments), so you should make sure when buying, to...

Heh, I reread it a few times now and I guess my point of confusion comes with why you would need to go in the attic for the doorbell cam. It looks like the Reolink doorbell cam is a really easy install (like 10 minutes to get it running). It is designed so you just have to connect it to your...

With PoE cameras there is no need for a separate power connection, you only need to run a Cat6 line from a PoE capable switch; which most people put close to their router. Monoprices sells good quality Cat6, that has the plugs already on it, at various lengths; so its only a matter of wrapping...

Looking through the above guys videos for some older 1440 or 1080 night time tests, here instead, is his video on some of the wireless options (no wyze, unfortunately):

Some shits the same, some isn't. It's like saying a Pentium 3 is the same as a Pentium 7. Cameras are all about the chip set, the lens, and AI system. How much difference all that makes depends on the use. The cheaper "American" cameras that Amazon and Google put out are generations behind, but...

Setting up a full wired high quality system is certainly going to be more work. The main place you "pay" for cheaper cameras is in the night vision; anyone can do good day vision at this point. Without someone independently evaluating them all, I've got no idea how to tell the differences though...

I dont constantly read about this stuff, so it may be a bit out of date. This info is mostly from my experience setting up some cameras from a few years ago: Wireless cameras suck. POE cameras are the way to go and running 1 cat6 line per camera isn't too difficult. Does your sister/BIL have...

Can't account for the rain in napkin math! Also didn't account for 100+ days of over 100 degree temperature or the drought conditions of last summer. The rate of evaporation has so many different factors that it's impossible to get anything close to an accurate monthly lose for a single city...

The original Xcom (1994) and Jagged Alliance 1 (1995) certainly look like they knew what each other was doing and borrowed some ideas, but there was probably some precursor games that they were both inspired by. JA2 built on both the Xcom and JA1 formula, making it one of the best in the genre...

Meh, you stole my joke with your edit, I saw that $8! I was going to say it might be as high as $16 in some places! Bills are bills and it all adds up in the end. Houses will nickel and dime your ass all over the place, but yea, it's not that much, comparatively. Well that certainly sounds...

Irrigating your lawn is some expensive bullshit too and accounts for a majority of the water usage in your home, when it's in use; but you're right, I wasn't really considering it, if you irrigate your lawn, the water cost would be about the same. I was thinking about where I live now, in the...

It certainly seems like a whole lot of water is being added, when you have wait for one to two hours for the "hose" to fill it up, in the middle of summer when no one is even using it (while people are on vacation). Houses are fairly water efficient now days, I didn't think 15% more from filling...

July 14th release date.

There is a big pit of water in your back yard and water does something called evaporation. The bigger the pool, the more evaporation. You have to top it off, at least, every week for half the year, even when you never step foot in it. For the other half of the year you might be lucky to only...

I'm in that same boat. Pools are literally holes you throw money into. They are all high maintenance. There should be a calculator on how much certain size pools will increase your water bill, alone. I would guess 15 to 20% on average. As for ease of use: an older family member (60+) who...

Eh? They are planning to stay in early access after 1.0?

Maybe talk to a realtor before dumping money into it. It's possible in the current market, that your property can already go for close to a mil or they have cheaper ideas to get close to it. The market is always changing and many people would rather do their own thing, over your "updates." The...

Posted some of his videos in the video thread too. Tim Cain, lead Developer on a bunch of the games being played here is semi-retiring, so, since he was rounding up all his old notes, he started a video series on various games he worked on. Here is one on how they decided to make Fallout...

Plan is 1.0 release by the end of the September. They just got done with the Barony of Loth (undead) campaign and released it. This looks good, but I try not to play EA.

Tim Cain (Interplay, Troika, Carbine, Obsidian) has started a gaming history video series that goes into the background/development on Fallout, VtM: Bloodlines, Temple of Elemental Evil, Arcanum, and other games/things: What went wrong with ToEE:

Same, but I guess that was the point, we don't know who did what. The episode, as a whole, was back up to standard though. Many funny moments, and maybe, if binge watched, last weeks episode would play better when you get to watch this one immediately after. The Bill Burr cameo was great.

Kids are going to do kid things, so I wouldn't expect anything big and "heavy" to work for very long. "Over ear" sets are heavy enough to break fairly quickly when dropped a bunch (I assume). On-ear headsets and earbuds are going to take more abuse, with earbuds probably being the most durable...

...and now for something completely different:

I would have to assume that if they had the ground run to it, it would have been wired that way. You don't need to shut off the power to take the plate off and pull the plug out from the wall a little. Furthermore, hopefully you are just killing the breaker to that room, not the main, as that...

Musta missed that one, or it was so long ago I have forgotten already. I read the story you posted, but it didn't say how this drunk girl managed to hit a golf cart at any kind of speed. I also never heard why the people that the unremorseful drunk video girl killed were in the road; so...

Follow up to what? The one from the video where the girl is acting all nonchalant at the hospital and the LEO, who was keeping his cool up until that time, starts to get mad at her attitude? I thought the LEO told her that both people she hit were pronounced dead at the scene.

Sounds a bit like a guy I went to high school with. His dad did drafting work for oil and gas pipelines, mostly. The dad lived through the slim times in the late 70s & 80s but kept on it, and eventually started making good money; by the early 90s they were able to move out of the hood and into...

The guy delivering food was his son, surprising him?
