    Car ?'s

    See if your uncle can use the dealership's Manheim account from home and, if so, ask if you can come over and do some research on his computer. They have an MMR tool that you can start plugging in different cars, and get the going dealer auction rate over the last ~6 months (and many more...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's a vehicle fight and there are plenty of the them in WoW. Vehicle fights suck, fuck you.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Sometimes there isn't anything you can do but laugh at stupid people (as long as they aren't hurting others). Is this guy a customer or a coworker? You could be more direct with a co-worked, about such things, but with a customer its basically agree and move on (so you don't slip and unleash...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    Neat. I would assume, it's probably a reproduction (or a back up not used in filming) to be just hanging out there, and not under lock and key. Even though I don't like alcohol, I would probably still go look at it, if I was in the area.

    Loki

    I was going for the iconic characters, not the actors. Andy Serkis played a villain with a British accent? I guess McDiamrid playing Papls in the prequels had a accent, but I have a hard time hearing it when he becomes Emp. Never seen Mark Strong in any iconic villain roll. Hannibal Lector did...

    Loki

    Ah right, the character was from England, but dropped the accent. I was having a hard time thinking of a good bad guy, in an American production, with a British accent (since the other 2 were entirely UK productions). My first thought as a third pick, was Richard Roper (The Night Manager), but...

    Loki

    A British accent sounds fancy to the American ear. We hear it and automatically think they are high society. Bullet Tooth Tony: A right fancy motherfucker who also knows french Michael Peterson (Bronson): Probably the Queen's second cousin thrice removed Al Swearengen: An obvious man of...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I played it for a couple months, super casually, last year on the normal servers (paid for one month sub, felt like I got my monies worth). It was good enough for 80+ hours and it was better playing with a friend. We got to Angmar (mid 40s & part of the base game) before he lost interest (after...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    I'm not much into the screwball comedies, so I'm having a hard time thinking of any movies from before 1940, that I liked and would watch again. The 40s, on the other hand, have a decent amount of good movies that I have seen numerous times. Including: Sergeant York The Pride of the Yankees...

    Invincible

    That is not necessarily the case. There is no unified theory of physics and a whole slew of unknown physics could be happening behind the event horizon of a black hole. Conservation of information is a law and hawking radiation is widely accepted, leading to the black hole information paradox...

    Negative, the name on the lease was a dead relative of the person that was evicted. One article said it was a rent to own situation with the original person who died. Decent chance at different last name. That article on CO evictions doesn't say if the LEOs run IDs on evictions. Obl. Video:

    I mean, sure, they should have released her name at a minimum, if they even have it. This has gotten enough publicity in Colorado, that I would hope that the local law is looking for her. It looks as if there are numerous charges that they could file. I don't know what an eviction entails. Do...

    Invincible

    Well that's kinda the thing with theoretical physics, and there are other videos that refer to the conservation of information, including the ones on black holes. Hawking radiation is supported, but since nothing beyond the event horizon is actually known, it does not necessarily mean the...

    Afaik, in quantum physics, the energy is what keeps the information. With enough computing power, you can calculate how that energy (the particle that caries it) got to the state it is in. So the terms can be used interchangeably, for casual conversation. (Edit: after watching the video again...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think I was able to find all the chapters he released. I really liked them and was hopeful things were on the right track. The Reek chapter, in particular, was a favorite. Of course this was way back around season five or six, before Dick and Dick Holster had finished shitting all over it. So...

    Loki

    ...or Loki is the father of lies, and the broken time warp device was just an illusion. Also, what are Loki's powers as established in the franchise movies? I though he could teleport and turn invisible, making most of the episode seem silly. Small nitpick: The lack of projectile weapons...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wow culture is this: The tank is the defacto group leader, so after the first month of the Xpac, it is generally seen as rude for a person to queue as a tank for level 60 content, if they have never been in the zone before. Everyone has a dps spec, and you are expected to queue as dps, until...

    You defiantly don't need steroids to get in the shape that Marky Mark was in, in that picture. Just a ton of exercise and a restrictive diet. As for your HS team, did you personally know people were juicing or that's just an off the wall guess, because a quarter of the team sounds high, for...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    In the interview it was mostly inferred. I may have jumped to the conclusion that it was partly due engine problems. He talked about players of D:OS 2, coming into this game, found that melee classes didn't have much to do, early on, but that in D&D the warrior class is the simplest class...

    Gamespot interviews Sven. Big takeaways: No release in 2021, pushing hard for 2022 but Sven is making no release promises. They keep changing things based on feedback. They want to get D&D right, but it sounds like there are issues shoehorning it into their engine. They have tripled the size of...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Search for forum/reddit reviews of the modem/router they use, and you can see if that's worth it. Some of those bulk deal modem/routers are shit, some just need the options changed to be made more secure, and others are not compatible with 3rd party set-ups (like a 5.2 ghz mesh wireless system...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    For Oblivion, I think I got through closing 3 or 4 of the same-ish portals (into the realm of boredom), quit, read on the net that they were all RNG bullshit, and never played it again. I am sure part of it was just the sheer disappointment over the ill fated hype-train that the two...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    For me it was going from Morrowind to Oblivion that was jarring. I was sorta on the hype train that Todd and Pete built prior to release, and most of what they said was just bullshit. They have had zero goodwill from me, ever since. New Vegas was good, but Bethesda had hardly anything to do...

    Oh, weird, I bought a set of those years ago for 1080, but didn't think to check on 4k compatibility. I assumed 2 Cat 5e cables would be plenty for 4k, but I guess not! There are a plethora of other HDMI to Cat5e/6 converters out there (no idea if they are 4k), but they are more expensive and...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Since that changes the total cost of it all, if you already have half a spool of Cat5e, then yea, I would only worry about cat6 from 4k video server to switch, and switch to router. You can also use that cat5e to replace any HDMI you want, with adapters (if you are looking for more uses).

    From looking at current Electrician Union rates on the internet for a rough guesstimate: If you call an independent electrician you are probably looking at an hourly rate of $50 to $60 for the job, a "service" fee of maybe $75 (drive time/gas), and materials of $20 to $50. If you call a chain...
