I bought a toro recycler fwd 3 years ago and it’s been reliable. I sometimes collect the clippings for compost, but a lot of times I just leave them. The drive isn’t as powerful as I remember my dads being in the 90s, but it does help.

I looked at Denon, Onkyo and Yamaha models at the same price point and they all looked good, and had good reviews. I chose the Onkyo because it included Dirac basic with the unit(they offer to sell the sub module for 300ish). I’ve used it every time I add speakers, without the sub module, and...

I ended up going this route but I bought the Onkyo rz30. They go on sale regularly for $750. It did take some tweaking to get 120 passed through to the Xbox series x, but that’s about it. https://onkyo.com/receivers/av-receivers/tx-rz30 Going from a sound bar to real speakers is pretty nice...

That cover is amazing. I’ll probably buy one if I remember. This is one of those movies that, for whatever reason, I ended up watching a bunch of times as a kid.

I had no luck with the cheap 4k splitters. They seem to get too hot over time had fail. Startech makes good odd electronic gadgets and is my go to at work when I need something uncommon. It lasted me until I Upgraded to an onkyo receiver that passes 4k(amazing unit of you want home theater...

Audible has another sitewide sale going. Picked up red rising 4-6, as well has William Gibsons Mona Lisa Overdrive and Count Zero. I read Neuromancer last fall and enjoyed it. I really need to give up my plus membership for a few years to catch up on what I have, but I can never pass up the half...

I just finished 1-3. The narrator grew on me. How are the audio versions of 4-6 if you’ve listened to them? I hate multiple narrators since it messes with the flow of the story for me. I’ve yet to find a single narrator I can’t get used to after a few chapters. I started Hail Mary Monday and...

Stephen Colbert is a high priest of woke. He’s spent the last 10 years praising anything from the left and shitting on anything from the right. I don’t believe he’s capable of being unbiased in anything he does. Also, by attaching his name to it they’ve removed the part of the audience that...

This is going to be awful. You know they’re going to cast everyone’s favorite actress.

Just finished a mostly dogmatic run, so it’s gonna be a long time before I get around to another play through. This did rekindle an interest in crpgs for me though. My backlog is massive.

Nu-Mulder looks at Nu-Scully and shows her a photograph. “Look at this face, he’s just as American as us. He’s just looking for a better life for his family. We must let them all in.”

This is just one aspect of the sickness that plagues Microsoft. For years, it seems like they’ve had no goal beyond selling subscriptions to azure/cloud. Now it seems like their main focus is getting ai slop into every product. They do these things to the detriment of their other divisions and...

I don’t see how this will have any broad appeal unless he breaks with all his previous work. He’s a black identitarian who works primarily with black actors to tell black identity stories.

I thought this already came out and bombed.

Same, every SE I’ve seen has been good. I picked up an SE parlor guitar to sit in the living room a few years ago. Great little guitar for $300. Someone at work brought in SE 277 baritone with an evertune that got donated to their church. Great resonant sound to it, even though I wouldn’t know...

Picked this up on a holiday sale since I had a pretty good year at work. PRs S2 24 standard satin finish. I’ve been looking at these since they upgraded the electronics last year. Not as flashy as one of Noodles hotrods. Played great out of the box. Only had to lower the action a tad.

Probably just those. I don’t really need anything 4k.

I started buying Ubquiti, and now I’m 7 devices deep. Router, flex & poe switches, WAPs. Next is cameras to replace my blink stuff.

I would rather the Saudis buy it. Netflix is a creativity black hole.

Great game, but long. Took me 100+ hours over nearly 3.5 months to finish it on normal. I completed nearly all quests, but I think I missed one or two early on because I hadn’t figured out I needed to do the dungeons in one day. Are all Altus games this long and follow a similar format? I never...

I don’t know about most powerful, but he has the most style. 3 out of 5 bots agree!

I mostly do audiobooks for narrative fiction these days because I’m rarely sitting still at home. Exercise time, yard work, working on the house, road time is what gets filled by books. “Bad” readers don’t even bother me much anymore, because after a chapter or two, I can get used to anybody’s...

Those two are my favorite part of the books they’re in.

I went with powered studio monitors with 8 inch drivers and absolutely love them. I’ve never owned a pair of “pc gaming speakers” that come close to the audio quality. I bought with some cheaper monoprice speakers that had decent reviews, and they’ve been great. I added a 200w sub last year for...

Gardens of the Moon is pretty rough to get through with no knowledge of the world. But if you stick through it, books 2-4 are fantastic. I almost want to go through 1-4 again, but my reading back log never gets smaller.

Sonofabitch, I’m in.

I only experience Twitch through his YouTube channel. I used to log in monthly and give my free monthly sub to Totalbiscuit because I enjoyed his content and the co-optional podcast, but that stopped when he passed. I don’t recognize most of the top streamers anymore.

I know the US will never denaturalize and deport an anchor baby like Hasan, but maybe they could make on exception.

Maybe this was mentioned earlier, but you can use Rufus to make a bootable windows installer that will will have options to bypass online account creation, and the TPM / processor restrictions. The only downside I’ve experienced, is that for feature updates like 24h2 to 25h2, you’ll probably...

This says $839, but it was probably higher at release. I’m pretty sure consoles have already sold at a loss because it locks you into the only Xbox / PlayStation/ Nintendo etc. That’s beneficial for that company...

I really doubt Xbox is going to invalidate everyone’s games libraries, it’d be a PR disaster for digital media sales across the industry. I’ll always keep an Xbox because I have a big digital library, but I bet it’ll be playable on pc at some point if they wind down, or go third party for...

I’ve seen the rz-30 on sale for $750 recently. It’s made me an Onkyo fan. If didn’t want the high quality pass through, I probably would have been fine with one of the cheaper models. I’m upgrading a few of my hand me down speakers this week. I would have waited but the tweeter in one of the...

Worst thing I’ve sat through this year. So bad. I was really hoping eyeball would get that whiny brother.
