Cameras? I literally have a button...

WHen do we get this version? This is what I want...

Guess either I was lucky, or that changed back less than 10 years ago... Maybe the girl giving the test was just blinded by my charm. I just found it odd. Or she realized putting a guy in his 40's who had obviously been driving his whole life through the test was nonsense.

A while back I had an issue. My license had expired, but I was super busy with work and other nonsense so I didn't even think about it. It was expired long enough I had to go retake the damn drivers test. I go take the stupid classroom test portion, realized you just need to pick the most...

Yeah, don't get me started on "Nardo" colored cars...

When we had our house painted a couple years back now there were consistent social pressures around the neighborhood to paint the brick too, and go to the "white with black trim, like an inside out fridge" look, or the "light gray, on gray, with gray accents" look. Instead we paid a color...

Looks like SOMEONE is already trying to make sure people know only true fans are wanted.. no bandwagoners!

I have never seen as much give up and half assery as the Steelers "defending" that pick 6. 4 guys in Steller jerseys who looked like they were just jogging along with the guy to try to keep warm until the game was over.

We have become a bland people... devoid of joy....

I can't remember which thread in the politics area we were shitting up with the microplastics derail... but this needs to go somewhere...

The only positive outcome of this game is that we're guaranteed that one of these teams will lose. Unrelated, but gave me a chuckle..

I'll even admit that sometimes the struggles of the Cowboys aren't Dak's fault at all. This year, as I said, if they had just put forth an average defense, they probably would have been in the playoffs and potentially past the first round. But the cold hard reality of football is that the QB...

I'm seeing a ton of the die hard and delusion amongst the Cowboy fan base going nuts about how INCREDIBLE a QB Dak is.... Then I bring up two key things : As Bill Parcels famously said : You are what your record says you are Dan Marino and Tony Romo also both had great stats.... Then I get...

I think we can now start to truly appreciate the scale of player Parsons is.... Packers were 0-5 in games Parsons either didn't start in, or didn't finish. If that man hadn't blown an ACL they would honestly probably have rolled the Bears since even without him they were still getting some...

I have a surprising number of friends, many born and raised in Texas, who are somewhat die hard Packer fans. Last night and this morning has been supremely entertaining to me. And from a national commentator I frequently get a nice "Sensible Chuckle" from who apparently is also a...

First off, they all have a boiled down list of probably 15 song max that are the essence of "classic rock" for those stations.. Those 15 songs will be 70%+ of what you hear every hour. In this day and age it's a super condense playlist (depending on who you have play rights with) and in all...

Well, like they say... Anything is a sex toy if you're brave enough.

I wonder how much I'd need to poke around for a shop looking to move and get rid of the junk at .800-.925 purity? I could use some for my metalworking, but will absolutely not drop $70+ an ounce.

Totes Obvious... an Obelisk for worshipping the primordial alien gods who seeded our planet..

2 foot long and 8 inches wide? That's real close to the measurements for the flat top I put on a half height wall in our entryway.... As you can see, mine's done in wood, but a long piece of 8" wide stone like that (with appropriate bullnose around the edge) could also work pretty perfectly there.

Ah, so this is where we're training our AI that's going to overthrow the government I see.... Does this also tie into @Izo and his recent thread necro run?

So , interesting quasi-update on my possible job changing offers. The internal role at my current company which would move me into a "Mentor and develop young engineering talent" role that I'm interviewing for... I check in with the guy I would be reporting to to see if there are any next...

Also, I have to ask... Are you sure about flower boxes on second story windows? I can't imagine a life of gardening on a ladder. Or are you gonna stock them with with "Eternal Flowers"?

So dead hooker flavored otter pops?

OK, regarding the offset front door.... By adding one light and a flower box below it makes it much more pleasing to my eye... (Forgive the cheap MS Paint shop work here) Also, it would allow for you to have a murder slot snipers opening behind the flowers which would be accessible from the...

Yeah, but it also made decent "lazy person XP" to park an alt next to him. heh

OK maybe not "best" but....

OK. building a new "mother box" for the house. Goals will be : n8n installed for playing with automation On machine non-internet LLM of some kind (probably via Ollama) to tie into automation Home Assistant to build out my non-internet reliant home automation (and yes, tying into n8n and the...

And the prophets of Bull Jesus have spoken.. SO SAYS THE LORD All hail his girthy green might!

If you have a heat gun use that to warm it up and re-bend it. Then swap the halogen out for an LED equivalent for a low heat answer. heh

I feel for you that you obviously married a not cool wife, or a wife who was so cool she did so many drugs, that she forgot what cool was. Because that, my good sir, is pretty much the opposite of cool. Doesn't take AI. I have been listening to Scott Bradley's Postmodern Jukebox for years. I...

This is essentially the relationship between my mom and I. She was essentially the big sister black sheep who couldn't manage her life at all, while I was the younger sibling who actually took after the people who raised him, so has to be the "responsible" one.

My mom is 75. And I don't know if this confirms of refutes your opinion.. but... I consider the best thing she ever did for me was letting my grandparents adopt me and raise me as their 5th kid (her being their 4th). Now my half sister and I have to split duties caring for her, but I still...

I wonder how this sits with the devout Lucasites who believe his word is law and the "specialized" editions are the one true gospel... Related :

Over in the Jimmy Rustling thread you can see where I just cut the big cord (cancelled AT&T Uverse), and we're doing a "critical review" of the others. Amazon Prime we use for the shipping benefits and other stuff, so we'll still have Prime Video, Paramount+ we get for "free" with other...

This may or may not be a main driver behind my new fun time side project of building a new media and "home server" multi purpose box that's going to , if I can get it all working right, have around 80TB of media space. Will run n8n, home assistant, Plex, TrueNAS, etc in one big ass box.

And I'm willing to bet their sub numbers are about to slide hard with their biggest show wrapped up. What is the next "Stranger Things" in the Netflix bag of tricks? Adjacent to that would be the question of how high they think they can raise their sub costs before their original value prop of...

In my case, this is the "sounding board" part of my process. I'm mostly doing a check on "I'm pretty sure this is the smart and easy play, but what do you guys know I might be missing". I ask that because I'll be the first to admit a lot of the folks posting in this thread obviously know a ton...

Congrats on hitting that milestone sir! I see that happening for my wife and I in probably 2-3 years. But as discussed elsewhere for me I know it will mean finding something to downshift into to stay busy for a while, just not needing to do the full court press making money like I am right...

Helicopter training accident....
