Fast forward a few years and I finally got my G series TV. Probably a good thing I got the G5 instead of G1. It's a lot more advanced now and since it's the last TV I'm getting for a long time, I ended up with a better one. The C1 was really good for a while but it wasn't a "forever TV". I'm...

Service entrance? Yeah, that's what I figured, the protection got tripped on it and it's usable but needs to be replaced. The other one I'm using still has protection on it, also mad old though. Getting something newer/better for that wall. It's only for the five TV-related cords. I can't get...

Using a different one right now. Turns out one of the two outlets in the wall behind the TV is dead. I'll need to get that fixed. Going to order a giant wall-based surge protector and plug everything TV-related into that. I reorganized the TV setup for the first time in many years, and bundled...

Unearthed this surge protector in my box of old cords. When I turn it on, Grounded lights up but not Protected. What does that mean? Should I replace it? Need a cord hub for my TV and systems, to put behind the entertainment center, and the main surge protector is otherwise occupied (and can't...

I'm also sorry you feel that way. The right woman makes everything easier, not harder. If adding someone ends up being subtraction, then walk away from it. Adding someone might be a lot better than you think though. Lots of women don't mind giving a guy space. It's pretty much a requirement with...

Huh, yeah, I guess I'm trusting this thermometer to be correct. The temps always seem spot-on. I think the bloodiness the other day was just a lack of resting. I'll test the thermometer though. Is meat temp not that important? I'm not trying to get a brain worm (then again I almost never have...

No, after 30 minutes of playing I just took this guy's advice: I was going to play it a lot on vacation but nah I'm good. Teaching myself to grill and catching up on some books instead, and I have 80 hours left over

Yeah actually, I kinda did My favorite thing was farming Obsidian Warrior (Yasuke) for chunks of EXP mid game. Went from level 70 to 110 real quick and then flew through the rest of the game. I probably killed his ass about 50 times. Start the level (it's a boss fight only), cast Sloth, unleash...

Yeah that was before I got a response on the wood question, got the chips purchased and was winging it. I move quick. This is interdasting. I will try it. Yesterday's steak (at 125ish final temp) was bloody as hell. I triple-checked the internal temps because it seemed super-rare. Would have...

Yeah, I had to stay Dex so I could keep gimping bosses with a fusillade of kunais, feathers, and bombs. By the time I had to lock horns with them they'd have like 20% HP. It pissed me off that the only weapon type to scale off Dex (that I saw anyway) was Kusarigama, which seemed like a pretty...

I'll say this, I've done maybe 10 posts on Reddit over the years asking for help with various life issues I was trying to figure out. Serious shit, like dealing with medication withdrawals, driver's license issues, getting money back for medical procedures that never got finished. Out of those...

Wow, not a lot of Dark Souls 1 players in here anymore. Well, probably not gonna actually take a swing at an SL1 run anyway, if everyone just does Pyromancers for SL1 then I already did the "challenge" and have nothing to prove by doing an SL4 that's way harder.

I should probably play the few unplayed digital games I have on the PS3, since they're all things I want to play at some point and one of these years they probably won't work anymore for whatever reason. Funny thing is, they're all PS1/PS2 games that were just easier to get on PS3 for like $6...

Tonight I did more of a slow cook rare steak (120-125) and added hickory wood chips to the hot coals before the food. The chips mostly just caught on fire and I waited for them to die down before cooking. Next time I'll put the chips on the charcoal in the starter cylinder, on top, before I pour...

So, once the grills are already hot / on fire from the starter and I've poured them into the grill, put some hickory chips on top of them before the food goes on?

Not sure who you're talking to, but I concur, a lot of folks here need to get better at being alone for a little while. Jesus H. No need to spaz out that you've been single for six months. I've had plenty of year+ single phases where I made zero effort to meet anyone and been fine, I'm always...

Are her parents Jewish? I think having money might also be a requirement. Or at least being on the path to having it.

......6 men? LOL what quasi-virginal women has this guy been dating?

Yeah I really don't need to use a leaf blower or anything. I let the coals sit too long already while I sit around meditating and whatnot. Here's round 6, which went super well, though I think I might have overfilled the chimney, it worked out in the end: I also applied beef tallow spray and...

Has anyone played Nightreign lately? Curious if it's a bit more beatable now. When I played it on launch week, I didn't even get past the Cerberus boss because every PUG I joined would get to the fight and then die due to not being high enough level. They give you so little time to prepare that...

Good luck, I tried to crowd source some DLC weapons for a new run a couple years ago and NOBODY HERE HELPED. Nobody except Mr Bungie, that is, but he is on PC and I wasn't. If you're on PC, could try asking him nicely, he might be down to help out.

Have a question about a Dark Souls SL1 run (well, SL4 run since I already did a full SL1 Pyromancer, it was easy, and I want to actually do a base level run all the way through as a meleer at some point, irritating that it has to be SL4). Also, correction, my SL1 Pyromancer run actually took 18...

If this tells the story of Hadley's Hope leading up to Aliens, then I'm fully in. Been waiting for someone to tell that story for a while. It looked like the people there got pretty far along in their resistance of the Xenomorphs, and weren't completely caught with their pants down.

Finally got around to beating Nioh 2. Really good game, probably the best non-Fromsoft game of this type aside from Lies of P. I never felt like I really learned to play it correctly though, and it was a struggle. No plans to continue onto Nioh 3, though I gave it a good few hour try with the...

I don't recommend dating any woman who has parents that are Jewish, East Asian, or Indian. All three of those are very likely to give you a hard time and try to break you up if you aren't the same ethnicity as them. Then again, they're also the three highest income ethnic groups in the US...

I agree I also agree Sekiro was the one I had the most trouble with, and also the one I played last. So...the rules of the rest of the series don't apply to Sekiro. Pretty much everyone says that the hardest Soulsborne is whichever one they played first. For a ton of people that's Elden...

Third attempt at grilling was finally a major success, the chimney starter made a huge difference. Used a couple rolled up tumbleweed things from Home Depot and then added a bit of paper to keep that going. Poured the hot ashes in there and cooked over that, no problem. The gas taste on the...

All the talk about "SL1" runs...I went back and took a look, and nearly all of the classes start with a few levels already. Pyromancer is the only one that starts at SL1. Cleric is close, at SL2. So ..do people just refer to base level runs as "SL1" for simplicity, or are all of these SL1 runs...

Here's some grilling porn from yesterday's practice session on a friend's grill: Didn't know what I was doing yet, and put the food on too soon (while it was still a bonfire) rather than letting the charcoal settle into the 2nd and 3rd images. The food ended up with a subtle gas-like taste...

This is one sexy grill. Wood pellets only I think. I bet it produces a lot of flavor. Here's the one I'll get in the near future when the budget allows. Anyone know if the "premium" version is worth getting? Same size as the normal version, 22".

Figured out how to rephrase my question and maybe not have anybody jump down my throat this time! What is the rough minimum runtime of this game, if I were to generally go briskly through it and not go out of my way too much to do all the extra stuff, just doing the fun stuff / things that are...

Thanks, this answers pretty much everything. One more question: Regular fluid-needing charcoal or do I need dry match-lit charcoal for the chimney? Does it matter? Since I'm not using fluid in this equation. I'll get this set up during my vacation next week and report back with some results /...

139 hours, goddamn. I'll give it a try for a couple days but there are a lot of other things I need to get to on my vacation week and it sounds like it'd be better left for later when I have less going on. Going straight for the wrestling moves of course.

That helps, thanks. I'm gonna grab that Weber, it's within the budget. "Something that won't fall apart" is enough for me. What's the benefit of a chimney starter? Edit: Also looking for suggestions on what to use to get the starter lit up. Rolled up newspaper is all well and good (hell maybe...

Want to start doing some outdoor grilling now that I'm in a place with more room. Had a BBQ steak recently and it was amazing, better than the steaks I cook at home. I thought I was doing a good job with those, but now they're not good enough. The friend that cooked said BBQ is going to show me...

-Wrestlemania 40 was them retelling Starrcade 97, only doing it right -Oba vs Brock was them doing the Goldberg vs. Ultimate Warrior match that WCW could have done in 1998 and inexplicably didn't (yeah, it wouldn't have been good but it would have done a monster buyrate in Fall 98) -Oba vs...

AEW isn't the most popular around here, but some AEW news: Adding an 11th PPV, Redemption, in July. This'll function as setup for All In, sort of like No Way Out was for Wrestlemania. Up to 11 PPVs now I believe, only month that's missing one is January. The individual PPV buyrates aren't what...

So I take it this game isn't something one just runs the MSQ in, and I should just kick back and enjoy the game. I mainly want to run around RKOing people.

That's why I noted that they were Jewish. I know exactly why nothing I did was good enough. It was kind of nuts. We were together for 18 months and I later found out that her parents didn't even know we were together for like the first two thirds of that, she kept telling them we were friends. I...

Was thinking of only renting it out one or two weekends a month when I'm not going anywhere anyway, and screening the renters (old people good, college students bad). That said, it's in such good condition, and I take good care of it (wash nearly every day, regular maintenance) that I have zero...
