sssssssssssss Hear that? SSSssssSSSsSSSssssss.... That's the sound of cynical meta-analysis and deconstruction sucking the fun out of things. ;) I counter you, my fine sir, with this :

I do. But also now if I need just a "boost" without getting stupid magnification (like working on things with smallish screws like laptop cases) I have a pair I just clip onto my readers. Also, my original "in the workshop/painting minis" glasses were all about wearable over readers/regular...

That fair until he either proves or disproves his commitments. But as mentioned elsewhere, you can go back in his history and the majority of what he's said is completely consistent with his previous stated beliefs.

At least he tried to set the stage for some of that. He mentioned that we've built a huge Fed Balance Sheet over the last 18 years, and it's going to take a lot longer than 18 minutes to fix that. But said it needed to be done, and he'd have to work with the Treasury to make that happen.

I'm watching the Warsh confirmation hearing right now. I will say as to Trump's comments. As has been hammered ad nauseum in the politics threads, he's gonna say what he's gonna say... Interesting take that I find actually refreshing if Warsh can REALLY do the Fed Reserve job to these...

AND.... "We're going to amend/re-write/retcon part of the 7 year old movie"

Yes, my official response to this? Doomsday was already firmly in the "I might get around to watching it once I can pirate it and watch it for free at my leisure" category. This nonsense is in the Once it hits the high seas and/or VoD/Streaming someone else will boil down a "Here are the...

So now.... Apparently the Avengers:Edgame re-release "warm up" for Doomsday happening in September is going to include new footage and crap in order to knit it together with Doomsday, and people are being told it's "essential viewing" for Doomsday. It's like they're trying to pull the Captain...

Seems pretty straight forward. From reviews I've read (and as mentioned here) it only seems to be 8-10 hours total, but it's a well built game with a well built 8-10 hours according to the reviews. Like many, I have put it on a watch list and will now patiently wait for a nice steam sale...

Reddit is so deeply infested with feminist and misandrist opinion that they see any game which fosters/encourages a strong "Father protects daughter" narrative as somehow creepy and pedo. I don't think I'm spoiling anything with this, but just in case....

Tell me you've never played Street Fighter without telling me you've never played Street Fighter. ;) The insane psychics defying power move it kinda a calling card of most side by side fighters. Although yeah, if they make them "the girl can never lose" that will be a problem. But I'll bitch...

Don't screw with him for at least attempting to abide by the holy N-word ban of this board....

So it's time for Sunday Random Ass Storytime with Haus..... After years of scraggly azaleas in the garden bed in front of my house (bad early homeowner decision on my part not realizing that limited sunlight on the northern side of a north facing house) I finally decide to do something about...

This is also something itching in the back of my head. On one hand I tell myself "The market had an overall crappy Q1, people went risk off and sold. Now they're looking for excuses to make the correction that happened the absolute bottom and buying back in, driving the market up regardless of...

I hope not since the actor playing Egg is a kid who looks to be right at that point where they start growing/maturing quickly from a visual standpoint. Not sure how old Egg is at the end of the current books though... Don't want a "Stranger Things" here when "Child Squire Egg" looks like an...

Just finished this with @Mrs. Haus , I wholeheartedly agree with the "It had early GoT vibes" with a touch less "Gonna shock value you with shit because we want to subvert some expectation" nonsense. Definite thumbs up, and also a definite hope they don't fuck this up. Problem being there are...

Latest rumor I heard was they bring in the Tobey Mcguire Spidey and he's in and dead within the first 5 minutes of the movie. Sure that will go over great with all those people who loved seeing him, Garfield, and Holland all together in a movie being one of the highlights of recent comic book...

I have one of these in my workshop, originally so I could do tiny details on miniature painting... But over time let's just say they have been used for a wider variety of things..... https://www.amazon.com/Beileshi-Magnifier-Magnifying-Interchangeable-Lens-2-5X/dp/B076Q22RHW/ Mine are a...

Very true sir. Only reason I know about Jacinto's is because back in the very early oughts, soon after I bought my house on this end of town. I was driving an old beat up Bronco and it died on the way to work. Called a tow truck, didn't have near enough in term of proper tools to try to dig...

Her face doesn't look bad, so long as she doesn't try to move it much, which is convenient since she pretty much can't. But IMHO, her face was a solid tier better looking for her "Grave's disease"....

Like I said.... "not too far". I thought (without doxxing here) we'd kinda noted I live in NW Dallas. Not quite in whore central.... just somewhat whore adjacent. ;)

He apparently went to somewhat great lengths not to let people know. I can respect him for that. Leaving Nancy off this list tells me you're simply too young to really know.. ;) Oblig I wedged into a slide deck today because I was bored and wanted to make movie references more than I...

This is where I'm at now. Specialist for the Caddy is a place called Eagle Transmissions, my generalist shop is Jacinto's which is a garage located in the back side of a Hispanic flea market in what can I best be called an "interesting" part of town not too far from me. The old man who runs...

Yeah, that's essentially the one casting call I've seen I had questions about. Since in the trailer they show a statue of M. Bison, I hope this guy is like his son/grandson/whatever and for pure cheesiness/tribute to Julia they just call him N. Bison and he exists pretty much to show why the...

Thanks to WoW Tokens it's been quite a while since I actually paid for expansions (and a lot of times my sub as well). I will admit I treat playing the AH as my "end game raiding" to a certain degree to accomplish this. Also, I'm grinding up professions for the 2-5 things in each profession...

Some days I actually like having a skinning alt... That's a 15k skin on the AH on my server...

Evil? He made God essentialy his self insert, and did it without any sense of irony or humor... That said, I loved Supernatural until somewhere around the start of the next to last season. I do agree Kripke obviously got "infected with the mind virus" Another unreported bit of work Erin had...

This is exactly why one embraces it. It looks ridiculous, which is it being the most absolute version of itself. Watching the trailer with sound a couple lines get dropped to make you think it's Ken's redemption arc. Along the lines of Ken needs redemption, someone goes and finds Ryu and...

Current state of WoW...

Ah, a man of refined tastes I see... I have a folder in my meme directory just called "wood" for these exact things... A few highlights... Thank you for the addition to my collection...

The problem is fewer and fewer dealers are keeping a readily available supply of "parts". The last time I went to my dealer it was for a worrisome sound coming from the transmission. They kept the car for a day and came back with "Looks to be an issue in the transmission, our only option from...

Well... if you wanted to go "wow"... Sealed Concrete countertop with a blue stone and glass mosaic inlay. You can choose the colors and design of the mosaic inlay to match her blue counters. I've seen it done on bar counters, some indoor/outdoor kitchens, and an island. Done right is can...

That "old people granite" is very similar to what we used in our kitchen, and it's still looking just fine a long time later. Although ours is a little lighter, still earthtone base and not white/gray based. Our "old people granite": Then again, our Kitchen is done in earthtones and not...

When I rebuilt my detatched garage I did this, Spray paint to mark each stud since on the concrete floor and ceiling above. I cannot thumbs up this idea enough. In my case it wasn't drywall, it was OSB, but same concept.

Yes, but if it's just a logistics and delivery (and possibly service, but that's another story) thing I think Tesla has pretty effectively shown you don't need the middle man. Between online sales of goods, and advances in services I think we're kinda entering the end times for "middle men".

What kind of news? Sounds like a job for my WCSG (Worst Case Scenario Gland) : China sees Us involvement in the ME as overextending the US defensive umbrella and makes a move on Taiwan. Taiwan then does as they have threatened and blow the fabs rather than hand them back to China...

I'm facing the same thing. You have my empathy sir. Mom's in her 70's. Getting to the point she forgets quickly. In a 30 minute car drive she'll bring up the same thing 3 times, usually something like "My friend Chris has a group of ladies she's hanging out with a lot". My sister lives with...
