    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    I hate Marlon Wayans because of this movie. I would rather shut my brain off and watch Battlefield: Earth for multiple hours than sit through 30 min of this movie again (Battlefield Earth at least lets you learn about Scientology, or some shit):

    The Video Thread

    How is this guy still in China? I woulda thought he would have been kicked out after his ghost city videos from years ago. At that time, his channel was mostly him traveling around China and talking about culture shit, now it looks like his whole channel is shit talking the CCP. Obligatory...

    For Sketchup, I also went the fuck around and learn as you go. Only thing I can think of (with my limited knowledge of the software), that might be missed is that there are a lot of premade designs you can load up if you wanted to do something like layout a kitchen and just use placeholder...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Oh, I think you need to jump through hoops to get them to just send you just a sim card, or at least the people who are really into that shit seemed to be using their own setups. While I didn't spend much time on Verizon because they don't have a 5G tower anywhere close (or service at all), I...

    I would call or email Verizon to ask what the procedure is for reimbursement for breaking a contract from Comcast. They may do it for you, like when you change phone service and keep the number. What modem did you go with? Once I started looking at the service for my area, I would need an...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Well you see, when that decision was made, that would have required someone at Disney actually reading or watching a Star Wars product, and that will not do.

    Woodworking

    It's hard to go wrong with stained wood. I did a small "quick and cheap" computer desk project, years ago, where I painted plywood (black w/red decal) and finished it with oil poly. I liked it alright at the time, but I'm not a fan of it now days. Painted just looks cheaper than stained...

    Car ?'s

    Some things show signs of going bad but some wont. You may want to double check the 100k mile maintenance recommendations and take care of anything you haven't done. If the transmission has no signs of trouble (late shifts, trouble going into drive), the engine runs smooth, and there are no...

    Car ?'s

    From reading the SS car thread alone, now is not the time you want to be buying a car and the inflation on new and used cars has probably outpaced the inflation on parts and service. For any work under the car you need a jack and at least 2 jack stands. Never get under a car unless it has jack...

    Had this edited into the previous post, but it's a neat video all on it's own that just happens to use jute webbing directly under foam: Full couch build from Korea (also, glue in a bag)

    Woodworking

    As Goatface was hinting at, it all depends on the foam, but don't expect miracles by just using foam on top of wood. Also, foam varies substantially in softness and most manufacturers of good seat cushions will use at least two types of foam in layers, if not 3 or 4 (1+ inch thick layers, or a...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Not sure what you mean by overlapping. Baulder's Gate 3, the one that is currently in development, is a turn based game where each character goes according to initiative, in order. Baulder's Gate 1 & 2, on the other hand, are Real Time with Pause games, where you can pause it to issue orders...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Sounds interesting; may try to find some videos on it later, but finding such a fridge does sound next to impossible, unless you know a bunch of people with restaurants. Also, how long to the last and how trashy do they look sitting in your yard?

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    If you are going to get all weldy, might as well make an ugly drum smoker. By regulating the air, you can have 8+ hour smokes and never need to refuel or even mess with it until it's done (if you can resist not checking it every 15 minutes). Also, you can make them without using a wielder. No...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    This is how I went into the movie; skipping anything that looked spoilerish. So, all I knew was that it was a scifi multiverse kung fu movie with a little comedy. Therefore... I didn't like it all, and if I was watching it alone, would have turned it off half way through. I kept thinking that...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The C4, C5, and C6 (and I think the C7) all have flexible air dams under the front bumper, and most of the time, when you hear a scrape, it's just that air dam. It is made to flex, and "cheap" to replace (~$150). Dunno what other vehicles have those, but a little scape here and there don't...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I'm a bit surprised they included it as an option, but it's probably worth it to get the front end lift. It should eliminate most parking lot and entrance way issues, if you keep it at stock height. You get used to the low low cars, but it certainly gets annoying. A few bottom outs on shitty...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    This car market is fucked, so your mileage may vary, but traditionally you should buy sports cars in the winter months, if you want to get the best prices. So, start researching now, and pricing out cars for the next 8 months. As Burren said, it's doubtful you will find any Ferrari, Lambo, or...

    Go plug in your loan into a loan calculator and see how much you save by making a 100k payment today. Then, take the average return on SPY or QQQ over the last ~20 years and see where your 100k would be sitting in the next 10, 20, and 30 years (if the trend continues in the long term). Next, if...

    I'm not sure I even remember what happened in season 2 and 3. So I guess I should go ahead and start with season 1, then watch the first 2 or 3 season of Fargo in preparation.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Discovery poisoned the well for nu-trek (for me). So, if Strange New Worlds keeps the reported quality through the various seasons, I will probably watch this the same way I watched Enterprise, that is, 10 years after it was off the air.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    After reading Hekotat's journey in current car buying (and others in the thread) it sounds rather crazy that anyone would seek out a new car in this market, if they don't absolutely need it.

    Yea, I assumed something went wrong with the aluminum lines and everything needed replacing for that price. I have never needed to do it, but then I haven't owned a vehicle that had been driven in the various salt chemicals up north for 20+ years. Also, road gators and debris can fuck up...

    Better Call Saul

    They defiantly turned Mexican ninja up to 11 for this season. I don't have any idea how they could get to the same plot points without Jason "Lalo" Wick, but then, that's what they should be getting paid the big bucks to figure out. I did read on the wiki that they brought Vince Gilligan back...

    Sounds about right, I vaguely remember reading something about TFA messing with Rebels, but it seems that my brain is successfully dropping useless information about TFA and TLJ (I would like to forget about them altogether).

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Same format as Clone Wars in that the first season is more kid orientated; then they get the numbers back on who is actually watching, and it gets more serious.

    If you are going to keep animals, a used Kubota/Deere/Case compact utility tractor with a front end loader will probably be more useful than a zero point turn mower (skid steers are bad ass, but cost toooo much). Best bet is to find a farm equipment auction place near you, or even in places you...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I tried watching the RLM video of episodes 6, 7, 8, and 9, a few weeks back and after about 15 min I shut it off, not a single laugh. I want to like RLM, as they seem to hold similar views, but every video I have attempted to watch is just dull.

    Car Audio anyone have any experience here?

    That looks like the right set up. After a closer look, the yellow and black are a larger gauge, which would indicate constant power. That would make red the ignition, and there is also a blue and a blue/white in the picture. Pertinent page:

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I found Hawkeye to be much better than Loki and probably in the top 10 marvel products I have seen. All the characters were likeable, with a nice contained storyline for characters I had little interest in, before watching the show.
