So the servers are down again for maintenance to deal with "server instability." Seems like they've done this almost every single day and it's done fuckall. I'm a bit concerned here how they can't seem to get a handle on this, considering it's Amazon.

What is "homebuyer confidence?" Anyway, seems like good news for me. I really wanted to be in the closing process by now, but since we aren't, maybe we won't have to pay as much.

I went back to look at what happened to this show. Wow, I didn't even realize the show ran for 8 seasons. I think I mostly quit during or after season 3, and kind of half asses 4 as it seemed a bit ridiculous. That it still ran another 4 seasons after that is insane. Similar to how I saw that...

I don't know why Kevin Smith gets so much praise in general, like he's some kind of savant at directing. Yes, Clerks was a funny movie. Then he made a few more versions of Clerks that weren't quite Clerks. He's a piece of shit. Stop worshipping him.

Like all things real estate, it'll be heavily local. I think places like Texas and Florida won't see any change due to the influx of people. A big city that was already overpriced and had a mass exodus like New York though? They're totally fucked. Their housing market might implode.

Yeah, I'm having about the same thoughts. With the weapon stuff though, on the plus side, you can always change. And at least up til 20, it's free to respec. Not sure what it costs after. I like life staff too, but it seems like you'll gimp yourself hard as fuck if you ever want to solo.

The intro being after about level 12-15 or so?

So I decided to preorder last night and try it out. Liked what I saw so far. My big complaint for when this launches is one someone mentioned the other day, but how do you guarantee you start in the same place as your friends? Seems like it'd fucking suck to be thousands of kilometers away from...

Seems like a lot of YouTube reviews are coming out now, and it doesn't sound like anyone really likes it. It really seems like it's a stopgap to play anything until something better comes out.

Just cracked 4400. Still ready for that correction in August or September.

Yeah, I'm not about to stop by friends every minute to read paragraphs of text about the plight of some retarded nobody in the city. But game devs continue to add it.

In fairness, it's the middle of the day. Not sure when Euros start playing. Nor what yesterday's numbers looked like.

That PVP encounter sounds like shit. So basically you're saying you rolled up on some dude and stunlocked him until he was all but dead? That sounds like a blast for the other guy. This is why PVP is generally terrible.

They should reach out to Microsoft and see if they can get a scalable Azure solution.

This is what I said last week. For a game coming out in a month, there's almost zero hype. That doesn't bode well.

Wow, yeah, fuck this show. I'm out. They've lost the magic. This show isn't good anymore. 5 episodes and they were all pretty shit. And last season had what, 2 good episodes? Not worth the time anymore.

So this week's episode is another dud? May be time to just quit this show.

Damn, already down 2%. That was fast.

That movie was insane. That whole garbage day sequence is just...I don't even have words. The guy who plays Ricky is the best. His over acting, that amazing fake laugh, and his fucking eyebrows. My god with the eyebrows.

Was browsing YouTubeTV and what do I see? Silent Night Deadly Night 2 is on. What the fuck? I'm totally watching it now though. This movie seems hilarious so far. Thanks RLM!

After seeing the Sound of Metal, I'm not sure if I'm happy for him or not. That movie really fucked up my impression of cochlear implants.

There were plenty of posts around then. Seems like it all dried up when it didn't bounce back up.

This thread got awfully quiet. What gives? Less than 20 posts over the last week.

Well this shit is hard to watch. I believe it's the first show since they introduced the 50% "BIPOC" nonsense. Already got a "woe is me I'm bisexual" scene and an alliance formed solely based on skin color (if you guessed the black house members, congratulations). My wife already seems fed up...

Kind of lost interest after the first two episodes of season two. I'm still watching E3 and what the fuck is this? This got super gay. Like, literally super gay.

Man, RLM really nailed it on this one. Pretty much all the dialogue stuff was good, but the movie fell apart with the action stuff. The whole movie feels like an after thought. I especially liked that this is kind of a crappier version of The Naked Gun.

Same here. Yesterday I was actually thinking that as we got really damn close to 4400. I'm pretty sure @Blazin originally said he thought we'd see 4300-4400, and well, here we are. It seems so unsustainable. But then I always come back to, "where else are people going to put their money?" Real...

That's the entire reason I point it out though. I've done it in this thread and Politics a few times. Because normally if you hear a word, you think it means something. I like to point out that when the government and/or Fed is talking about it, they're being incredibly disingenuous...

I don't know why they deflect with transitory like it makes it better. If something increases 50%, but it's a one time deal, that's transitory. It doesn't have to go back down though. Say a pound of ground beef was $3, and it goes up to $4.50/lb in 2021...and then stays at $4.50/lb, that's...

Death Valley had a low of 107 Sunday morning. I used to live 90 minutes from Death Valley. I don't miss the heat. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/us-west-scorches-under-heat-wave-death-valley-reaches-130-degrees-2021-07-12/

Congratulations, you basically discovered the "barista FIRE" movement without knowing it (essentially being able to take a minimum wage job to cover all your expenses, and your portfolio covers the rest). Just plug away at your investment accounts and eventually you can hit retirement well...

Shit, and here I thought Taskmaster was the guy running it all. The robot thing was barely even a character.

I guess that's where I don't really know what the worry is. The worst I can imagine is curvy corners of drywall (happened in our last house). But am I incorrect in assuming they do an inspection on the drain lines for leaks, and a four point inspection on the other major systems? Seems like...

The "math" choice pretty much favors keeping the low interest mortgage and using the money elsewhere to make more money. But the "mental health" choice has a super strong argument to not owing anything.

That's kind of what I figured I'd do. It'll have an inspection, so I'm not concerned too much. But I figured going by every couple days would be good just for the simple fact that I would know where all the plumbing/drain lines are, and electrical lines, and if things like insulation look like shit.

So is there anything to look out for with new construction? My wife decided to google the builder (mostly to look up the HOA), and now she's spooked. But I'm guessing most of that is just "people who have problems will complain, and people who are happy will be quiet." Like, I definitely have...

They even joked about that in this movie though. "The god from another planet probably doesn't need to take an ibuprofen after a mission."

Weird how no one mentioned this. Pretty much over at this point as long as they can glide it in.
