I feel like Carter Beauford is overlooked as a drummer in the mainstream b/c Dave Matthews Band was just so... something. I saw DMB like twice? And saw Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live in Boone, NC once. I loved listening to DMB but hated every one of their fans. It was as bad as Pearl Jam...

Didn't really love this but it had a lot more to do with it being wrapped around YouTubers and the rival Creeper vs. whatever crap. The Paragon stuff, monster stuff, whatever was fine, but all the 2020s streamer shit just irritated me. It was fine, probably won't revisit it.

Yeah I’ve played it off and on with our 8 year old the last few years as his interest in Minecraft has waxed and waned. Would be willing to give this a go. Our 2.5 year old is starting to get interested and we listen to that Dan Bull BOOM BOOM BOOM song about 800 times a day at his request.

Had a big meeting with Builder today and reviewed our entire project budget. First time we've seen a full total and reviewed all numbers. We went through probably ~80 line items and the allowance and cost quotation. I'll summarize most of the stuff below. Keep in mind, please, I'm mostly...

yeah I have a whole project equipment list saved on Ubiqiti's site, going to have to refresh it here and see what's up. I'll get an excel file of this whole build sheet and go update my blog in the Home Buying thread so everyone can laugh at us.

Oh, for sure. It is funny b/c on my day job I review construction drawings and shelter / building drawings for telecom locations and cable chases, conduit, etc is always a point of conversation. Pivot to normal life and my disconnect is like "oh okay, let's discuss one of the other 10,000 things...

We didn't have enough time to get into the specific mechanics of installation for every line item. It was like 95 different categories and subcategories. Just glancing at my breakout Electric is currently broken down into Lighting Allowance: $15,000 (for us to go find fans, vanity lights...

Still not sure… actually just got home from 2.5hr meeting with builder going over cost. He put an allowance for $10k in for home security and 3-zone sound and cameras. Something we’re going to have to dive in to and see where we land overall budget wise. I told him to just pull it all and make...

I was lucky enough to pick up a Numbered with the profits after selling my lettered edition. Should look amazing once all are on the shelf. The spine on the Artist Editions are supposed to make one full scene.

Hah “failed to find a significant audience.” But my 87% critics rating!

Morning rant while we hopefully get some initial full build pricing from our Builder today. We were going to get it Friday but his framing quote was running behind. The most difficult part of this whole process so far (not the minor irritations and annoyances) has been managing my Mother-In-Law...

Regarding the AI comments above

Just finished watching this with the kids and it wasn’t that bad. The whole movie just sort of unfolds and doesn’t really pause for filler or heavy explanation or preaching. Allows for the main characters to bond and experience loss. Kids laughed at the animation and funny humor, we laughed at...

I saw something that was labeled as Project Hail Mary but turned out to be something totally different. Not sure that I’ve seen anything else as of last night. From a book standpoint and not film, I do agree with @Szlia though. The Martian was a much better novel and story so I was not as...

Double dipping from my Small Press thread since a lot of people probably don't care but dropping this here just in case. Red Rising went on sale today from Lit Escalates and Curious King. The Artist Edition is the only one available still and will be on sale for the next couple of weeks. $100...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt7130300/ huh IMDb isn’t unfurling.. Woman In Cabin 10 is the movie. Completely mediocre and generic and not surprising in the least. I like Keira Knightley and Guy Pearce, needed some background noise while working sick from a hotel this week. It satisfied the need...

Wow, ain't that some shit. We had a tree fall into our yard from our neighbor's house last year. He tried to get his home owner's insurance to cover removal and fence repair and they would not. One thing to keep in mind when it comes time for removal: I was not home when he had people come and...

Not recommending this one specifically, there's a AliExpress version out there for sure, just can't find it. But I have two different ones with removable bezels that different levels of sharp ends can be screwed on. I also like ones that have a "firefly" mode that just casts a very low glow that...

I’d say that’s about right for Supernatural although there were cool lore bits and characters beyond that. It was mostly that the writers went back to the “Sam and Dean hate each other this week” well about 406 too many times. We get it, brothers fight, but for literal Christ’s sake, get over it.

He’ll be too busy with the Firefly relaunch they’re announcing tomorrow, right? 🤣

I saw that on Instagram, glad he’s trying to do something about it. There’s such a small group of businesses that actually do these things (the printing and binding) and so many presses are plagued by delays and issues. There’s another company I buy from named Headstamp Publishing that does...

7th Guest, Myst, Under a Killing Moon were so foundational to my PC gaming life. Similar to X-Wing or the King’s Quest series. I can remember playing Myst with my Mom and brother on the family computer in the living room 386. 7th Guest (and eventually 11th Hour) we spent ages playing late at...

Dang I was really hoping this was a game about nylon. I don’t even think Cordura means anything? This is like naming your game Tupperware or Velcro.

One of our primary requirements was that the garage doesn’t face the street. I don’t even really like the fact it is viable from the side, but because of the lot and slight grade it makes more sense to put it where it is. All the other homes that were for sale tha have these huge 2-3 car garages...

Yeah I waited to get the full set of the last kickstarter ones after the fact and basically paid same cost as it would have been. I would like to finish my set of main books to be matching, but that’s a very low priority.

did you finish the movie? No one will blame you if you didn’t, but I mean… it is kind of the last 15 minutes.

Y'all are being entirely too critical of an obviously bad movie. There was zero expectation this was anything but generic and bad and it lived up to all of that. I can’t even be mad at it. Putting more effort into it than it is worth , I will say the worst part was giving Reacher a leg injury...

If you watch Seaquest vs Farscape it is an incredible case study of what a show lead can accomplish with vs without upper management meddling. It is almost hard to believe Rockne S. O’Bannon had anything to do with DSV.

It feels like billions understates the issue by an order of magnitude. Isn’t just Highguard, Concord, and ’maybe’ Marathon almost $1B? That doesn’t include what we don’t know about that has been canceled. Even if not all of it is explicitly due to DEI, the poor management and leadership...

I only know what bongo cat is because they do K-pop Demon Hunter covers and my 2 year old asks for it constantly.

Oh I’ve done both of those. Last year or the year before when our middle son was born and I needed late night baby feeding/rocking TV. I actually thought they held up fairly well and enjoyed pretty much the whole run of if I remember correctly. Some other thread has my thoughts on Andromeda and...

I’ve been doing a rewatch of the Highlander series and boy it is pure 90s amazing cheese. Duncan is knocked unconscious like every episode and luckily there are no other Highlanders around to lop his head off. Sword fights that swap to grainy black and white, slo mo, synth soundtrack. Just...

hah exactly the same here. I started watching it before scrolling down to the comment and description and thought for sure someone had just ripped it off.

AI getting crazy… Some of the details are wrong but it is funny I recognized the scene immediately and haven’t read Way of Kings since it was first released.

Awesome, glad it helped. I gave up my monthly subscription because the quality of those prints just weren’t worth the $53/book after exchange shipping. The one offs though seemed to use slightly better paper and signed, so that’s always cool.

If anyone is interested in decent-ish shelf copies of books, The Broken Binding just went live with their hardcover edition of this today: https://thebrokenbindingsub.com/products/between-two-fires Should be open to order for anyone. Never heard of the book and no idea so kind of passed over...

Oh dang, whoops. Got confused somehow when it started popping up in recommendations. Thanks.
