Wife and I are currently rolling Samsung S20 FEs. I've had to have one cracked glass replaced (random drop which landed flat on the one pebble in a parking lot...) and while they did it I had the replace the battery. Both are still doing everything we could need our phones to do, and I...

Same crew has also put out Star Trek and other AI videos around this theme. My favorite so far was the Stargate SG-1 video... I can highly appreciate several things in that video.

I do wonder how WMT will facilitate this.... Lightning network?

I want an android phone.... But I'm so old I had a G1 and remember the Blackberry...

It wasn't just the actors they wasted... They took two of the most intense Thor story lines (Jane Foster Thor and Gor the Godbutcher) which both could have been really good stories on their own, they then tried to combine them, handed it to someone who obviously wanted to make a Thor RomCom and...

She is far more the Anime fan than I am. (Still need to finish Sakamoto Days) But also she worked in the import/distribution/retail side of Anime/Jpop/Manga/All things Japan long enough to have accumulated quite the library of everything she likes for the most part and barely watches it...

My neighborhood was built in the 60's and still has the overhead power infrastructure to show for it. At least once a year we will have an outage for one reason or another lasting a couple/few days. To the point that when i recently got the electrical panel replaced (another long painful...

In part of my never ending cascade of side quest hobbies... I am now also Haus - Beginner tier candlemaker. All this started when my wife's favorite candle scent (Pumpkin Souffle from Anthropologie) was cancelled, so I wanted to see if i could recreate it. Since I already had wax melting...

I'm in N. Texas, I suspect in the next 2 months we'll have "winter" and by that I mean a couple weeks where the low will get below freezing, we might have "Super winter storm" which would mean 2-3 days of it staying below freezing. Then we have the wet season which usually lasts until May...

So... now I have had the drain under the house replaced. So in theory I'm no longer creating an impromptu septic system under my house and the middle of the slab SHOULD recede back down to normal elevation.... Question is how long I need to wait to call it "back to where it should be", since...

Eventually we're going to see a show on a "true crime" network about a guy on a gaming board who kept necro-ing old threads until he hunted down long gone users and eventually made a suit of their skin in order to "feel alive".... I can tell.

The world of financial world level KYC being extended into the rest of the internet. Enjoy the next 5 years.....

We actually order enough through Amazon that prime wasn't a horrible deal for us even before they added Prime Video, so that will probably stay around. Netflix is about to go buh-bye, Hulu's already gone (The wife decided we were giving NO money to Hulu/Disney), I'm pretty sure she cancelled...

Yeah, part of me is surprised they aren't building basic OTA antennas into the TVs now. But then I remember that it's more profitable for the TV manufacturers to bundle a bunch of low cost streaming channels together as a bundle that "comes with" your TV and then make ad money off them.

What's the rustle du jour? In a word, or more accurately three letters and a word : AT&T Uverse After having it for years, and slowly coming to the realization that it probably wasn't worth the cost (Around $220 a month) we hit an inflection point. A month ago the Uverse box in our living...

Worked perfectly for me, but I'm in Brave. Also fluidly imported my old save game.

Just tried it on Y8, it's not forcing full screen on me I have it windowed. And it's still running when not the front window on the system.

Yeah, I'm at a juncture with my current company where either my position/role needs to change, or the company I'm working for needs to change, and having the financial capability to say "I could just not work for a bit while I find my next thing I feel is worthwhile" is astoundingly comforting.

We're both close to some family. I don't have a ton outside Dallas (one Nephew in TN, one in Louisiana). The amount of time we spent fighting the fertility fight, then the subsequent medical nightmares it put my wife through (do NOT underestimate the hormonal wringer multiple rounds of IVF...

Don't take away our collective dreams sir... .It's new Year's Day for God's sake!

Gonna go out on a limb here with my personal analysis.... Your brother is a pussy whipped cuck with no, what we call here in Texas, "Scene Control". Sorry you had to deal with the brunt of that. Hopefully he'll realize the situation and sack up and get some things rectified. For my chip...

And you can make it even better with a little effort, a video card with at least 24GB of RAM, and some LoRA retaining sessions....

This seemed crosspost worthy....

Compared to Gemini where I just handed it a pic of a friend's cat, and said "Give me a gothic style portrait of a vampire from the late 1800s but use this cat's head for it" and got this on the first try :

First thing you have to do if you're going to attempt a "Tax Revolt"... You need to move your assets to somewhere the government can't just make a phone call and seize. How many of us are even VAGUELY near that point? Considering anything in a bank, or anything in the stock market that you...

Have you considered opening a daycare for Somali children? But seriously, it's getting rough out there for any coding folks, and the only light at the end of the tunnel I am seeing is a small portion of companies are starting to realize that Claude kinda sucks at generating consistently...

Wife has already said to do "what will make me happy". Still debating if this is in that same vein as when a woman tells you "Do whatever you want" or not. ;) But seriously, she's got my back either way, and one reason I do dearly love her. But yeah, it's fear/hatred of change. I was...

I checked the FAQ on the website I'm ordained through.... Apparently I can do whatever the hell I like with it. I'll just also say all those Catholic girls I was dating in the 90's... well... nevermind....

I'm working both for the money (@Mrs. Haus and are are financially comfortable and I was surprised how close we are to having enough to full on comfortably retire even though I'm only in my 50s) and for the fulfillment. But also I know I work because I do like what I do (Evangelizing...

Pretty sure it's Downton Abbey. I only know all this stuff because I had so many Catholic friends growing up, and dated so many girls going to a local Catholic college in the 90's.... Xmas STARTS on Xmas day and goes for 12 days after (ergo the reason for the song). Xmas decor shouldn't come...

When looking my usual modus operandi is to determine what I want to sink some money into, identify the ETFs that cover it effectively, compare their returns (usually with an eye on 1 and 3 year) , and the last step is to look at expense ratios if I end up in a dead heat tie.

OK. another "Haus Decor Note"... There are 4 decor items you can get in the BFA version of Darkshore. An Elven Brazier, A forsaken brazier, A Banshee Queen banner, and an elven light sconce. They drop off the rares. The rares are "kill once per week per character for loot".... EXCEPT for...

This seems to be normal for the Ozympic track. Essentially it slows your digestive metabolism a bit, which is the appetite suppressant side of it. For me it's always been about the math. If you have a smart watch (like I have a Samsung Galaxywatch) it can help you by giving you an estimate of...

Modern MS Sync isn't bad. The original versions weren't horrible, but were primitive. I still remember when we got my wife's Escort in 2013 I am tinkering with it and see it has a wifi access point built in for some reason. I turn it on, connect, and run nmap. Dear fucking God..... I can...

Oh yeah, we still had my employer based insurance, and they still billed a ton to it. But you end up paying a premium out of pocket for that heightened level of attention and dedication. When I said it added a hundred or two to the budget every month that was on top of having my insurance for...

Insurance DOESN'T cover it. If you're in the US, google up "Concierge Doctor" in your area. The idea is you pay a yearly "membership" to the practice essentially. What this allows is that instead of being like a normal PCP where the Dr needs to have thousands of patients to make the practice...

My caddy is metallic gunmetal gray, but only because I was going the CPO route so it limited my options. The option I did want (Kona brown leather interior with metallic blue exterior) was officially called the "unicorn build" because so few were made in the initial run.
