    Home buying thread

    Somewhat relevant to this thread, as now that I've moved out of our house we're selling it (under contract after 2 days on market, yay!). I was surprised to read that the profit on a home sale for most people is tax free. Tax Aspects of Home Ownership: Selling a Home - TurboTax Tax Tips &...

    10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

    JJ Abrams has called this a 'blood relative' to the original Cloverfield, and I think there are a couple of things that loosely tie them together, like this via IMDB trivia: Howard states that he worked on satellites for the military. Michelle sees an envelope in the bunker from a company...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Hah. That's awesome. They could still break Cap's shield if Falcon is Cap or something. Thanos could also play a part in resurrecting someone too if they needed that and wanted people to freak out over it for 2 years. I feel like Black Widow is in a good spot to play the Spider-Man...

    10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

    C+ movie for me, thanks to John Goodman. Probably won't go out of my way to watch it again or anything.

    Not sure, other articles don't really dive into the differences in design, since those are obviously more important than the mirror size based on that FOV claims. Didn't know China was doing this either -The Worlds Largest Radio Telescope Dish Is Taking Shape Like a Giant Puzzle

    Closest thing to that happening is probably Tomb Raider releasing the same day as Fallout 4.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Wish that list had the game consoles on it. We're using the Xbox One for all of our apps (and for an OTA tuner w/ DVR buffer - full DVR functionality coming later) but recent reductions in available non-gaming overhead are painfully obvious as the Kinect struggles and apps have occasional...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)

    Wasn't made in Wakanda, so perhaps that's just a helpful imperfection. Or it's really adamantium/vibranium alloy or something. Expecting the airport fight to end the 2nd act, with recovery and focus on taking down Ross / Zemo / Crossbones / etc. for the remainder.

    Embeddable one soon I'm sure, but !!! Captain America on Twitter: Edit: Lame that a big reveal of the trailer is the preview image, lol, but I guess there's no getting away from that news now that it's all over. Edit again: hah, they changed it.

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    NFL strips Chiefs of 2016 third-round pick, 2017 sixth-round pick for tampering with Jeremy Maclin while he was an Eagle. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was individually fined $75,000 and General Manager John Dorsey was fined $25,000, and the Chiefs as an organization were fined $250,000...

    Yeah, I'd recommend JIRA for anything that needs a workflow, for the most part. Sales and whatnot there are probably better fits.

    Yeah I'm 14 and haven't touched any hard difficulty stuff, just pugged normal (and still had a few wipes here and there are teams have been mostly a couple levels under the recommended). Hope at some point we can just queue for matchmaking for a group of missions, or has someone seen that...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Got in a little bit this morning, happy to see different missions starting to pop up, some traditional 'go kill this guy' as well as one to attack an enemy stronghold. Also ran into what I assume were some rare spawns, they were named and were yellow. One was wandering the street with a crew...

    Workflow Automation / Process Management software

    I've been a JIRA / Confluence admin for the last several years. Big fan, obviously. If it fits what you are looking to accomplish they've got some good docs and you can spin up a cloud version for evaluation in a few minutes.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Played 12 of the last 24 hours, im level 14 or so w/ my wings all at 50-60%, a little tired of running around. Fun game, but done with the initial binge for sure. Something to chip away at a few hours a night along w/ whatever else I'm playing.

    They had a hiccup when all the digital copies came online but I was able to play for an hour or so after. Level 5 on PC, looking forward to playing more.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And I get that, but Thunderfury has already been whored out a few times for transmog/temp effects. I'd probably actually finish farming a Val'anyr if I could turn around and finish leveling a toon w/ it, etc. Largely irrelevant otherwise unless they ever allowed us to slot past legendary...

    Actually almost spent money on this last night, lol. I really liked some of the concepts and it felt like a more accessible version of the multiplayer in the latest Dragon Age.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    "The Division blows Destiny out of the water" was actually a headline about their beta numbers I believe. It's just out of context.

    I thought that's what incursions were but looks like they're just another name for a mission for your to queue up for / form a party for.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Yeah, I wonder if Incursions are essentially public quests. Use the extraction mechanic in PvE, put it on the map, spawn bad guys, hand out loot.

    Yeah, I expect large scale stuff will be confined to ad hoc events like the incursions, if that. no 'raids' to work through.

    They have 3 months of media to feed us, but have we seen humanoids in this game yet? Will we even see other players if we come across where they are at (Steam says Single Player even though we're all in the same universe). Wondering how trading and crafting works, just playing w/ dialog boxes...

    I thought Battleborn was kinda fun, did the PvE co-op mission a few times with different characters. Wasn't expecting it to be a $60 game though, was expecting a F2P / buy characters type approach.
