    Car ?'s

    A cold driver is an alert driver; fuck all the yankees and their remote start car warm up in the morning, I guess! Regardless of it's a abuse potential, it's a problem, as it is written. As I'm sure you already know(the oil industry is probably one of them), a decent amount of businesses have...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    Afaik, the motherless bite is independent, so you should be able to get a double bite doing that. There is a alchemist (vivi) build that goes full on natural attacks that gets double bite, with motherless and feral mutagen. For most of the game I had trouble landing bites on the Vivi build (w/...

    Kenshi - A Sandbox RPG

    Last I played, shortly before release, I used a two man team of rogues to sneak a bunch of books, cores, and engi research. I had to babysit the team, the whole way up north, but I only really had trouble with fogmen (hard to avoid their territory from where my base was). The fastest guys could...

    Looks like you need to bring up your point of personal privilege, at a meeting, to get some credential based waver in lieu of training put into the rulebook. I only looked at what it would take to use their Jointer and Planer. It looked like one weekend morning, where they turn it on, show how...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Indi game studios should always be around to cater to the niche crowd. I mostly play RPGs or Strategy and I think the last AAA game I have played is Total War: Warhammer 2. Yet, Pathfinder, ATOM RPG, and Encased were all released in the last 6 months with 150+ hours of game time.

    How many Gov projects come in under budget? Are there any repercussions for knowingly under bidding by large margins, to make it look good, so the politicos you paid off (legally, of course) can get general support? The $10 billion final price was only 3.33 times over budget... So, the price...

    Welp, that looks like a good deal, at least from an uniformed consumer (I know nothing about planers). ...but they already fixed the bug in the system, when you proceed to checkout.

    Wheel of Time

    The Woman good, men bad aspect was defiantly dialed up to 11 in this episode. Prime wouldn't put up subs for the opening scene, so I had to turn on dubs (audio descriptors) which made this quote even better: "This is just an imperfect overwhelmed woman, trying to remind her old friend he is not...

    Wheel of Time

    I thought the final episode was better than the previous 4, but that's not saying much. A much higher percent of screen time, at least, had some mindless violence and characters actually doing something [somewhat] interesting (yes, walking around in the woods was more interesting than a whole...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    Close? Doubtful. 15 years...maybe. Not due to the tech, but due to the suits. Look at how risk adverse Hollywood is. They would rather throw money at shitty remakes that make a 10% return, than risk anything on innovation (that has no track record of the_returns) and that's a huge drag on the...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I don't have WH3 currently installed to check, but the big mods like Steel Faith Overhaul usually fix/change these kind of things much faster than CA can/will. Steel Faith tries to stay true to Warhammer lore and underlying game mechanics, but adds more complexity and updates old WH1 factions...

    The Witcher

    Standards for "Hollywood hot" are not the same as the standards for women you would have a relationship with. The books, the games, and the show all go out of their way to show that the witches and mages can choose what ever face they want and are supposed to be the pinnacle of beauty (in order...

    Car ?'s

    You hit the gas, and it takes ~2 seconds to get a response? Sounds like a fuel pump or injector problem. Maybe a computer problem, as injectors or pump should throw codes in newer cars? You could try running a bottle of fuel injector cleaner through a tank of gas. Maybe you will get lucky and...

    Here is the autist "historian" on Tora! Tora! Tora! accuracy: This channel, which is mostly ancient battle tactics, with some overarching strategy built in, has started a series on WW2 pacific (there are 3 videos preceding these, on the lead up to war): This one is much like the video linked...

    Band of Brothers

    From an accuracy perspective, Tora! Tora! Tora! If you didn't like the slowness of The Pacific you certainly wont like that movie though. It looks at both sides, and depicts the Japanese preparation VS the American normal daily grind (and mistakes made), ahead of the battle, with only the last...

    Band of Brothers

    I went into The Pacific expecting Band of Brothers and was sorely disappointed. Many years later, I gave it a second chance and really enjoyed it for what it was. They tried to show the wars impact on more than just a few small battles (the island hoping campaign was more a series of small...

    I could imagine how annoying it would be, the farther from a big city you are, for such projects. Basically a whole work day just trying to round up supplies and stressing over whether you remembered/found everything you needed. It's a bit of a drive but at least DFW has at 3+ good lumber yards...

    I didn't think HD or Lowes had any quality wood. This would be my first venture into hardwood. Everything I have worked on previously was finished ply and/or MDF. Ply from big box stores is mediocre and has a bunch of voids. I am also going to build 2 bookshelf speakers and a center channel...

    Curb your Enthusiasm

    My assumption is that they are written that way. LD is distilling that demographic into its essence. Also, didn't realize Irma was Tracey Ullman (never seen anything else she was in, but she looked familiar).

    The Expanse

    I think it is more of the character in general, in how he is written that is grating, or maybe it is just Naomi bringing Holden down, by proxy... I know you need a "goody little two shoes" character to push this story forward, but they probably could have written a guy with a savior complex...

    Band of Brothers

    Wolf Hall was an excellent period piece and would recommend if you like historical drama. Season 1 and 2 of Homeland and Billions were good, but it is SOP at Showtime to run every show into the ground; so I would stop after season 2 on either show.

    Switch to the browser Vivaldi and it has a screenshot and crop tool (all in one) on the bottom bar, right side (looks like a little camera). I love the feature and the browser is worth it for that alone.
