    Home Improvement

    Could you put the fridge where the double oven/nook is now and the nook adjacent to the sink? I’d only be worried about opening the left door of the fridge past 70 degrees or so without a large spacer between there and the wall. Putting it in the other spot gives full clearance, but you’d also...

    http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/23963-pontypool Since I watched Undertone earlier I wanted to go back and watch this since it has been on my list for a while. Not exactly the same premise or anything, a little bigger scope. Three main characters instead of one, inside a radio station mostly...

    Yeah, when we go tomorrow afternoon I'm going to lobby for granite and see if we can find an option that wife likes. She knows absolutely nothing about any countertop material, differences, or trends and cares zero about what is in or what anyone else thinks. It could be $0.50 a foot and she's...

    Signed contract and locked in at the bank. Rates dropped so we're at 6.5% for our loan with the option to drop lower if we move into non-Jumbo at conversion and could still buy points. Will have to run the numbers at closing and see.

    Undertone (2026)

    This isn't terrible but may be hard to recommend. I do enjoy these types of movies and have said before just an actor in a room carrying the whole thing is a genre that is cool. That's mostly what this is. There are a few other "podcast" and found audio movies that are similar. Monolith is the...

    My comments were more material based than color as far as "timeless" is concerned. Laminate, Quartz, Corian, Quartzite, Marble, whatever I mean it all goes around and around, but hardly anyone dismisses granite as being the standby or default from a "timeless" perspective. That's my read on it...

    We're leaning towards Quartz as it is. I'm way more partial to Granite b/c it has proven to be timeless (people pearl clutch already b/c of the epoxy used to make quartz), we both like the colors and movement in granite more than the trendy starkness of white quartz/quartzite and heavy contrast...

    Spent a couple of hours last week doing floors at a local shop, picked out what we’re pretty sure we want for downstairs in main living area, laundry, pantry, mudroom. Upstairs carpet. Close to all our flooring. We at least got product ranges and styles down if not specific colors, and made sure...

    Project Hail Mary

    There are a few instances of hardcoded Russian subs that translate things like writing on instruments or whiteboards, signs. Nothing major. Everything else is perfect.

    Detective Hole

    Hah that's definitely true and I'm sure it is bias from being an enthusiast. Man, I'm sure we can all relate to them showing video games in movies / tv shows. The way they hold controllers and randomly push buttons, the background music. It is always so wrong and frustrating. Hah! The bird...

    Detective Hole

    I'm about 3 episodes in, can barely even remember or care to pay attention. Agree with everything you say though. Also, I found it laughable where on the 1st episode they make a claim that "no one in Norway even knows what CZ is." I get that firearm culture and exposure varies greatly, but to...

    There was a short film by Dust that came out not too long ago. Dust is pretty popular sci-fi short troupe and puts out some interesting stuff. I also posted over in my Small Press thread a while back that Conversation Tree Press is doing an edition of the book. They had a waitlist sign up...

    Yeah, I've done various ChatGPT-fu and the opportunity cost vs. what the interest rate may be at time of closing, let's say June 2027? It'll take 20-30 days to get through this loan process which puts us in the start of May. We could conceivably break ground then. My biggest anxiety, even...

    That's cool to know, and the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I wish I could convince my wife to like levers instead of knobs (rimshot), but she is really not going for it. One place I have convinced her is the entry from the garage because sometimes turning that door knob with your hands full...

    Since everyone got a good laugh at my expense in the Gun thread about Doors and Doorknobs, I thought it'd be best to restart the conversation here for additional criticism. I'll preface it by saying we have no passion about doorknobs or any idea that they should be some "statement" piece on the...

    ChatGPT can for sure, when we bought our land it was direct from seller and really there was no need for any type of agent to be involved. They may need to be prepared to pay for a survey defining the legal boundary of the parcel, may also want any type of topographic data, geotechnical data...

    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?

    Do Not Enter (2026)

    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.

    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.

    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...
