    Car insurance - Pay per mile

    Never heard of that before, but it makes sense these days. Heck, I used to drive all week to get to the office or to see clients and now I drive ONE day a week to get groceries. Yet, I'm still paying the same amount for car insurance. If things get close to the way they were before Covid, it...

    Too late to start now, I'm guessing, since this server is a year old?

    Warhammer 40k

    LOL. If GW can't make a $100 model that's required to win, they won't bother updating. Eldar players have been waiting years. Neckbeards want Schpashe Morines.

    Warhammer 40k

    Makes me sad that some of those sculpts are nearly 15 years old. Eldar are in serious need of a good refresh.

    $1,000 permit, eh? That's the definition of extortion.

    Yes so fucking easy to not be an idiot and just do what's required to...ya know...not die.

    That's when you email them back with a copy of the reminders and procedures along with a simple note: "No".

    They are faster than real cars. But, there are dozens of classes that people compete in. Its not just a big free-for-all. Not sure I'd choose to race up the Peak seeing as there are still no guard rails and cars still go flying off into the abyss.

    Was negotiating for a car and someone bought it this morning, hours before I was able to close. It was nearly perfect. Little deflated right now.

    If you intend to stay there for a long time, then building the house you want will be a better choice. We're doing the same cost/benefit analysis right now and looking at architects and builders.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My wife thinks I'm nuts for doing it, but that is why I don't have auto-pay on anything. Every company has fucked with rates and played those games. If I had auto-pay I wouldn't see it for 6-12 months.

    On the advice of folks here I got an Amplifi system a month ago and its been great. I finally have a strong signal anywhere in the house and outside.

    Faces are always tough. Some deep ink washes will help a lot too in creating contrast in the armor.

    Yup. At the end of the day, you have to enjoy who you are and who you are with. Sounds lame, but true.

    Uh...corporate decisions BASED on public outcry, fears of bad PR, and company values falling as a result. They are 100% correlated.

    Thanks for the insight, H.Y. I haven't priced out a build that I'd be interested in doing, but I did find a pre-built that looked good (though still without a mega GFX card) for $2,800. MSI MEG Trident X Review: Mighty and Slim Not cheap, but I have seen some for double that. Still, it feels...

    Desktop Computers

    Here comes an "I'm getting old" moment: I've always built my PCs, whether for work or gaming. But, I'm at the point now where I'm wondering if I can get the same sort of specs in a pre-built machine, or if the prices of those are still retarded compared to building myself. Does anyone here just...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I got the AmpliFi Mesh Wi-Fi System. Its idiot-proof and does exactly what I needed, which is move the signal from the top left of the house to the bottom right, through tons of walls. It might not be the most efficient for gamers or large families, but for us its perfect.

    Got one of the Ubiquiti systems and using my own modem. It's silly how much better it is than the Xfinity hardware. Thanks for the recommendations.

    I remember reading the warning label on a chainsaw I had about 20 years ago. It said a bunch of things to not do and then capped it off with "...do not attempt to stop blade with genitals". You know they had to put that on there because someone tried.

    @Gankak That's cool. That would definitely add some dynamic interest to the hull. @Hateyou You're right, just have to give it a try! It does look awesome.

    Commercials on YouTube. First off, there are 6 to 8 in a 20 minute clip. Secondly, they are THREE TIMES LOUDER than whatever it is I'm watching. Bastards.
