I have rewatched a bunch of 70s movies, semi recently, and they were just as entertaining. There are plenty of high rated 70s movies that I didn't like, but I doubt, if totaled up, that the 70s would be any worse than the 50s, 60s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Movies I have watched/rewatched in the...

Wat... the 70s had many influential movies and a few TV show. To name a few: The Godfather Taxi Driver Chinatown One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest Jaws A Clockwork Orange Animal House Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind Rocky The Sting Deliverance Superman Smokey and the Bandit MASH (Movie and TV)...

Useless flair is now a Star Wars tradition!

Slitherine is currently having a publisher sale (on steam), on all games in their catalog, and remembered this game was being made (and saw it was only a month away). Don't know how often they have sales, but the first game's complete edition is currently $3.00, if anyone wants to give it a...

It's the sequel to one of the best 4x games in the last 20 years (first released in 2010, same studio):

If you want something to watch, Wes has some good kitchen cabinet making videos (found this video when looking at pillars/columns):

C) Learn how auto-resolve works and organize your army to exploit that D) Save scum auto-resolve (You can save scum legendary (cheat), using copy/paste, but why bother, at that point)

Every time, 10 minutes of:

The only way to benefit from a bubble in the auto market is to sell any spare vehicles, outright, then waiting for the market to level out. Trading it for a different vehicle does nothing; you may get more for it, just to pay more for something else.

From the title, I thought this was the Lost remake, for a modern audience.

Maybe Kislev is just a nation with weak magic and a strong army or the reviewers are using it wrong. The various control and buff spells of some of the current schools may not be flashy, but they can be useful.

Don't know much about Wyze, but depending on what you want, you can secure your security network by various means to negate the spying by the whichever company you choose. If you are using their software/allowing full access, all of them are probably collecting meta data. If you are worried...

Walked away:

Make sure you research your liability with selling, or even giving away raw milk. What ever your beliefs on it, it is going to get the blame and lawsuits will get flung if people get sick.

Late night TBS or USA, on Friday and Saturday night, had all the good movies. Watching Lifeforce, The Thing, and even Kagemusha, while still in grade school, defiantly made an impression.

It is defiantly a roll of the dice, moreso on a blind purchase of the seized/abandoned cars. With gov cars, you can generally assume that they have a bunch of idle time but they generally have been kept up on maintenance (unless it's a cash strapped (D) city that underfunds their motorpool)...

Do you live near a big city? You could try to find some government auctions for old .gov cars and civil forfeitures (Example: City of Denver has 204 cars on auction, right now (Direct Link:emoji_nose:. I feel bad for all the car aficionados that have to go through all the salt damage, like that. I like...

The chance of getting a water damaged car, on a blind salvage purchase is too high, imo. Search for "flood damaged car issues" and a bunch of stuff comes up on what too look for/problems (Example: Consumer Reports Article) So one would really need an accident report or some kind of 3rd party...

When you are talking about particular cars, and you were (you quoted the stupid expensive Porsche) it is not a poor investment. As @Mizake said, it is a way to diversify your portfolio with hard assists. Most cars, even shitty Pinto like hatchbacks have a curve were they stop depreciating and...

Found the strange:

I vaguely remember that Mando donated a large portion of the Beskar he received to the group, in season 1?

Maybe the tolerance for purity may be larger for use as fuel, over that of other hydrogen applications (and therefore doesn't need testing or electrolysis conversion in particular doesn't need it)? There are/were some companies (for example (dunno how/if they stay(ed) in business:emoji_nose: that have...

Hydrogen can be made much more stable and possible crash safe by combining it with hydrides in the tank. Unfortunately, it seems that this process currently needs a whole bunch of rare earth elements to work. So, as long as China controls the market it wont be a competitive option (the cost of...

The foremost benefit of the push and funding of a brain to computer interface is so, when we achieve an advanced enough sentient AI, there is the possibility that it will see a use for humans, and not just kill us all. AI research is more advanced, and has more funding/incentives than brain...

There is probably some disagreement (on the dev team) on how that would affect the power curve of confederating nations vs a killem all nation ("Settra does not serve"). It also affects the player's power vs the AI for unmodded legendary campaigns (not that there is a cheve for that, or...

It could be an opportunity to introduce a handful of characters from Clone Wars/Rebels as well. These characters may still be alive (?)(don't know how long these races live): https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Cad_Bane https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Hondo_Ohnaka The "noble" bounty hunters...

Yea, didn't really think about it that much this season, but it was talked about last season, in the thread. Everything fit within the world which they built and nothing felt shoehorned in for some agenda. I guess that's part of the consistency of holding with last season and it's almost a...

This may take a few watches to fully appreciate. The last time I touched MacBeth was in high school, so it was difficult to follow the prose at time (which was a distraction). The acting was top notch, but the artistic style dominated everything. It is best described as a blend of theater and...

After first viewing, I liked this season as well as last. It is still in the same ballpark as Invincible, Castlevania, and Arcane. It's not as dark as Invincible, and more of an adventure than Arcane. It had some twists and wasn't totally transparent or predictable on where it was headed.

Season 2 is up now. Will binge it, eventually.

There is little MS could do to make WoW any worse for players. Their current business model (suits) seems to be hands off (kinda). They bought InXile before Wasteland 3, and the game didn't seem to suffer for it. Around the same time they purchased Obsidian, while Outer Worlds was in...

Picture diary of the assembly of a CNC kit from China, kinda neat:

Good job walking away from those emotional manipulative sales tactics. The farther they get people into the sales process, the more likely people are to overlook (or give up and pay) such scumbag maneuvers. Car sales in particular has invested a ton of money in the psychology of high pressure...

Obviously Jabba instituted universal premium healthcare and those hipsters were taking advantage by "accidently" losing their limbs. Also, the Vespas must have been the Obama phones of Tatooine.

Starfield has a decent chance of being shit too. Bethesda keeps trying to profit off the mod scene, when it's the mods that keep the PC game alive, give it depth, and keep sales flowing (DLC & Box). So they will eventually drive people/modders away, by trying to control them. Then gamers will...

In the games and shows I have played/watched, the Hutts are/were a huge power in the outer rim, with their own territory akin to the republic or separatist in the prequals. Hutt space was centered on Nal Hutta, and their territory/government was mostly modeled after the five families of the New...
