Oh my... Dallas folks have a new holy war. Both the Mavs AND the Stars seem to have locked in moving out of downtown and to the north end of town for the Mavs, and a northern suburb for the Stars. Urbanites are SUPER salty, but the population heat map bears out the logic :

Saw an interesting stat that if they were all adjusted for inflation Stargate would have clocked in as the second highest grossing Star Trek motion picture, and the highest grossing ST:TNG movie.

Man.... "Hot boy summer" has really went downhill. Unrelated for the DFW peeps...:

Yes, but just ask anybody in latin America or Africa.... it's because our dirt is....

Well... The problem was they didn't want a ground up reboot, but they also wanted something new and different enough to draw in new fans. Just the legacy fans weren't enough apparently. Question is how do you appeal to a "modern audience" without turning the hardcores wholly against you?

Also over time many people cycle out of allergies. When I was a wee Haus I had an allergy list a mile long. One of my Dr's as a child mentioned that every 7 years or so I should get retested, as your histamine system can change as you mature. Sure enough in my mid teens I suddenly stopped...

Just watched the first episode and am thoroughly enjoying it. The wife and I have now taken an approach that we'll find a show to watch and watch one episode a night, as to draw it out and avoid "The Show Hole" as much as we can. heh She mentioned during it how she didn't feel like she'd seen...

I'm now at the point of just hoping this does better at the Box Office than the MK movie did. MK underperformed to the point it probably won't get a sequel. But also, it's a question of how much of a real marketing push this will get.

Irrational Exuberance Alert of the day (??) Watching Bloomberg for their close of trading day coverage and I hear..... "Iran risk on... Iran risk off... The honeybadger rally just don't care" The... Honeybadger... rally....

We must constantly degrade our life experiences to accommodate for the lowest common denominator, which unfortunately certain groups keep driving lower every.. single.. fucking.. year....

Glued? Mother of God..... Back when I cashed out some stuff for a few "serious house projects" I needed to tackle back last year top of that list of replacing the Federal Pacific panel that was still in play here at Chez Haus. I did not realize until last year how insane the issues on those...

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.....
