I don't remember what thread I detailed it in... But I have a Frankenchair which laughs at time. I found a great chair in terms of cushion/support and now just keep replacing parts on it as needed (casters, gas tube, seat covers and covers for the arm rests) It was a Serta chair with legit...

If anybody in DFW finds a good solid broker let me know.. I'm also at the "have had the same insurance for years and I'm pretty sure I'm getting ripped off" juncture.

OK, welcome friends to the Saturday edition of "Haus has his jimmies mildly rustled by this generation being weak ass bitches" The wife and I went to a family cookout today. Her side of the family, pretty big turnout, great time. All they asked us to bring was watermelon, which I'm always...

I remember a time when seeing a bag of pills in my GFs purse meant a selection of ways to get screwed up in the course of the weekend... Now, I see a bag of pills in my wife's purse and can quickly identify... "migraine... anti-inflamatory.... allergy.... antacid..." and I'm pretty such just...

This is the core lesson it took me a lot of my 30's to realize....

Totes. Cheaper labor is what plants crave. As for deploying into the market. I know I'm the boring ass individual around here, but I've just been DCA'ing regular buys every month at a rate of "half of whatever my commission check for the month is". Split between XLK, HDV, and some into URNM...

OK. I'm gonna ask this here because I'm just not seeing a path for a lot of things in crypto right now. Seeing what's happening to ETH, Seeing the fact that XRP is still struggling to get footing for actual use cases, I'm left with looking at being a BTC Maximalist as almost the only really...

Both our pups have mild hip and back knee arthritis. So they literally have a script for low dose meloxicam once a day. Which actually gets to the fun pet story of the day. One has some more pain and they gave her daily gabapentin too. @Mrs. Haus and I give the dogs their medicine. We...

I'm not normally one to just buy something I see on an ad on Twitter... but.... It's got a place for the ESSENTIAL POCKET DOG!

It honestly seems like they felt they had to do something "radical" as a departure from their normal... The problem is people who love Ferraris love that normal, they WANT that normal. Why couldn't they have just taken a traditional Ferrari style body and started there, modifying where needed...

Yeah.. Watching Bloomberg this morning their people were saying things like "If a monster chewed up a Prius and a Leaf and then spit something up it would look like this" and "If this were released as a $50k Apple iCar it would be selling like hotcakes"

OK. Interesting story about that tank I had a pic up up above. As mentioned, yes I have to continually clip and prune out water sprite. Well. I decided I'd try something. Also a couple of those mollies did what they do and spit out a asston of fry at one point a couple months ago. (not long...

So the 29th season will be.... 5 episodes? Somehow that doesn't seem like a real "season" to me. And yes, I know it's because I'm an old. heh

My inner cynic has to chime in on this one... Training a bunch of fresh out of college kids means getting them up to speed to handle the essentials, plus use AI to accelerate their ramp up. Then what do you have? A bunch of kids who don't know what market value for good coders is and a...

Yeah. a Bambu was next on my FDM toy list, possibly to retire my Ender 5 Pro... Now that's definitely on hold. On a wholly different note. Anybody else have much experience with "ABS-like resin"? I have now gone through a bottle of it making various things on my OG Photon. Seems to print...

Fair, and that makes sense.

Yeah. I know this struggle. if I get a pic of something I really want to show on here, I wait until i get home. Open the pic on my desktop, screen clip, paste clip. @Lightning Lord Rule ?? Is there something we can put in the upload routine for pics that auto-downscales something too large...

And I counter....

This is why I just screencap the pic and paste the screencap half the time. Hell, the native resolution my phone operates at chokes this site's capacity in that regard. heh

This gets back to the "Three racoons in a trenchcoat" analogy. There's the AI Market, the AI Technology, and the AI Social ramifications. It's very possibly the outcomes are "A bubble pop" (-) , "An amazing advance for humanity" (+), and also "a catastrophe for society" (-). I think the...

They briefly mentioned that there was a problem with the re-entry burn apparently so they had to make the call to call things short and "terminate" the attempt. Which I think was a thinly veiled way to say "We blowed it up"

Just watch the flip and on target landing. Stunning. With that said, it exploded, but it was an intentional explosion as it hit the water. But seeing it with full video from the ship, relayed through starlink, in real time was really cool.

Yeah @Mrs. Haus has pain in this region due to a surgery she had which apparently did some fascia damage. It's a whole serious management issue. And some times it will be fine going to sleep, but then she'll wake up at like 3am in pain and not be able to get back to sleep. Sucks.....

It's also literally a commonly used CnC method for extremely hard metals and stone, called waterjet cutting I've already got this covered. I have a close friend who doesn't know any of my family or other friends (met through working together) and she's essentially a 5'8" Angelica Houston...

We might have a problem with this series...

Just look what they did to our boy.....

Another alternative ending dropped...

This guy has some of it right. But the caveat is that you just have to find a way to invest and hold assets that appreciate in value at some rate higher than overall inflation, otherwise you're at best treading water and taxes will erode your stored value over time. Just like many have...

In before the sink is installed is definitely the way to go if at all possible in my experience. To this day I still regret not running some wiring in the back of the cabinetry before the countertop went on to support some things.... And not wiring in the stuff for under-cabinet lighting...

The old one could have used that, but I had enough space to reach the mounting nut with my vice grips to loosen it, then fingers to get it removed. The new one had this "collar" that you pushed up and then hand tightened, which I was a little suspicious of at first but worked great : Due to...

Thank you! The cabinets/countertop/backsplash are the result of me remodeling the whole kitchen, which was done as a 10th anniversary present for @Mrs. Haus . Full disclosure, I did in fact sub out the flooring/cabinets/countertop/backsplash work in that remodel. (Gutted to the studs...

Na, hackers to find a way to change the sound without your consent.... "Uploading Indian_bowel_movement.mp3.... "

You realize you're talking to the same people who have spent fortunes trying to make fake meat look/feel/taste like real meat while saying all along it's better for you? Pretty sure it's just the automotive flavor of that particular mental illness.

So today I had a long forgotten side project become a "must do now" and now I'm pissed I put it off as long as I did. A while back when looking at some things I needed to fix/upgrade around Chez Haus one that came up was the kitchen faucet. I shopped around, found a nice one that @Mrs. Haus...

OK. Interesting guy and an interesting follow if like me you are fascinated by the numbers and stats behind dating... Full disclosure : He does, of course, run his own matchmaking service supposedly based on AI and deeper profiling to make better long term matches.
