"Well hello Mr. Bond, have you met my wife, Oddjobs Around The House? She identifies as Native American and her pronouns are she/thay." *wife punches 007 in the face*

USS Texas finally has enough funds to get repaired. It has major structural issues and will hopefully survive being lifted in drydock. It was towed from the San Jacinto Battlefield State Park (Houston area) to a floating drydock in Galveston, Texas yesterday. The oldest surviving battleship...

Been hopeful that Nuclear makes a comeback in the west; if this Russian winter doesn't do it, I have little hope that anything will. Took a look at those companies and was wondering why RIO had a huge drop in Uranium production in 2021. Looks like they shut down one of their mines in Aus, in...

Weird Al Muhammad (Spoofing Shaggy: It Wasn't Me):

This thread got me thinking of a LoTR question for the Tolkien nerds: In the movie it is depicted that the forces of Sauron/Witch King tortured Gollum to give up the names Shire and Baggins, but couldn't Sauron see Bilbo when he put on the ring at the party? Did Tolkien ever describe how the...

Check Starlink's website. They have a map of counties (that they claim) they are currently filling orders for retail and east Texas is not on it yet. Elon sent truckloads of dishes to Ukraine, so no clue how far back that set the roll out. Last I looked, a couple weeks ago, their official line...

While I agree, the Juke is a pretty ugly vehicle, I think I would do almost anything not to be trapped in the current vehicle market. At least after reading all the posts in this thread about what people have experienced over the past few years.

I would think you would have misfires on some cylinders and running rough before being unable to start, if the plugs were getting that caked in carbon. You shouldn't need to be a mechanic to check the plugs though. Plugs are cheap, spacing tool is cheap, you only need 4 plugs, and you can find...

What's wrong with the beater? If it's something you could do yourself, you could hobble along while keeping an eye on a few different models you like. That way can get an idea of the market to become an educated buyer. Before the auto market insanity of the last few years, used sports cars price...

HEB owns Central Market, so it technically counts as HEB!

Don't know why anyone would chose to live east of Dallas and north of Conroe, unless work or family takes you there. If you want to build a retirement home in flat green woodlands, you might as well move to Arkansas to take advantage of the lower property taxes. Texas hill country is at least...

The most important question you have to ask yourself, when buying a home in Texas is: "How far is it to the closest HEB grocery store?" If you find an HEB, the chances are that the area is of high quality.

Sounds like you are asking for a safe short term investment that has slightly better returns than inflation but still allows you to stay liquid. I don't think that exists in current conditions. As for when a bubble will burst, only Jim Cramer knows that. If you read forever bears like Zero...

I keep getting fucked on rolls on my level 70 weapon for barb and its taking forever. Just passed 2 hours and still level 44.

Corvettes are the best sports car for the money and it's a fun car to drive. I have kept my C6 bone stock and not had an issue for 80k+ miles. From what I recall, replacing the heads is one of the cheapest mods to do when looking at $/hp ratio. Afaik, the main failure points for hard driven...

Don't recognize him and never heard of him, but I guess that's nice.

Does your state have a lemon law or something like a 3 day refund requirement that such problems would be covered? Hopefully you didn't have to just eat that shit sandwich.

Edit: the previous one looks like a Idolomantis Diabolica. There are a bunch of cool looking Mantis species out there. Such as the Orchid Mantis:

Still loosing $1 (like ~50%?) a share? Owch! Where you looking to hold it a while or did you buy in at the beginning of the year and get stuck?

Moon Goddess (Mene) in season one and most of two was "dead" (reincarnated as Fymryn the elf). She was killed by the Blood Moon Goddess Selemene (the Evoker's love/baby mama). When we jump to the world remade number 12,172 (or whatever it was) midseason, the Evoker made that world where...

Read backwards every now and then you do not?

The question is, why are you in this, to build for retirement or to gamble? If it's to gamble, cash out enough that you get all of your initial investment back, then let the rest ride. If it somehow goes to 0, you lose nothing but gains. If it's building for retirement, set a gains goal and...

Certainly. I would rather have an overt outside system than an anything inside, if I lived in a high crime area, but some people cant stand looking at such things (especially women). For a low crime area, I am fine with some corner cameras covering the drive way, garage, and front door, in order...

If you want your security system to blend in more with your house, Interior cameras have a better chance of catching the faces of criminals. To catch faces and have a better chance at license plates, an outdoor only system would need to be more overt, with a few mounted at eye level. Doorbell...

If you want an impressive grocery store, go to Central Market. They have some of the best produce in town (outside of a fresh farmers market) for about the same price as everywhere else. The rest of the store can get silly expensive (high end grocery). For normal stores, here is the list from...

Oh, real rockets, lol, yea, NASA is cool too. Unclear of what you mean for the Aussie in Houston thing, if its for the doxxing part, I meant listing where your relative works. I just looked it up, and the website for that organization has all the employees pictured and listed by years doing the...

Basketball? meh! Go walk the USS Texas over in Channelview, on the east side of Houston. The Texas is next to the San Jacinto battlefield, where Sam Houston soundly defeated Santa Anna and Texas took it's independence. You could even ride on the Lynchburg ferry back and forth, just to say you...

I don't play many adventure games, but when I do, they are from Telltale. I like the stories they made in the IPs they used. I guess we will see if this new studio can capture the same good story telling.

They did. I thought they must have filled for Bankruptcy and reformed, but nope, someone bought the name:

Honestly, they just needed to come out and say that they were changing the origins of House Velaryon to the Summer Isles or Noth, and be done with it. It then fits into the greater lore of the world GRRM set up.

Genre(s): Adventure Developer: Telltale Publisher: Telltale Release Date: Summer 2023 Store Page: NYI Story involves Camina Drummer's crew, doing a ship salvage, before the events of the TV show. First trailer (Youtube age restricted bullshit): Some pre-Alpha footage and commentary from Cara...

They usually have a roll back feature, if you want to finish an old game (or is that Stellaris I am thinking of?). It's the same place you switch to the beta build.

It's packaged for old people, so they can make one or two baked potatoes and not need to muck about picking through the loose ones. It saves the store time at checkout and people don't need to sit and wait for slow movers to pick through a box of them. Families will generally buy a 5lb bag of...

Oh, guess I haven't been paying close enough attention then, oops! Just seen one male Targ and two female Targs with a bunch of dragons, and thought that was it.

The lady in the following video has a decent theory on how they will make it men/patriarchy bad (time stamped to where she starts on it): (video linked earlier in thread) Fan theory starts at 3:23 and ends at 5:31.

Trending on Reddit? You sure that's not the Algo giving you a reach around? I don't see shit on WSB. They all seem to be wrapped up in BBBY still.

What's that token buy? Also, the game got a bump when it got listed on Steam, did that hold out, or settle back down to pre steam activity?
