    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    It's like they're rubbing salt in our wounds... "We know few people really like Zendaya as MaryJane Watson (and that we always just call her MJ and wont call her the name), but to drive home the point we're going to cast the actress who would most easily be a PERFECT MaryJane.... as Jean Grey...

    Security Camera's

    My current strategy on the camera front is that I have an existing camera set up (from a company called HiseeU, or something) with wifi enabled cameras that can also be PoE hard wired. I don't like the interface/DVR so I was looking for alternatives. I have discovered, and am working on...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    I'm just hoping they'll give maybe at least a sentence explaining how we went from Professor Hulk in Endgame (and apparently in She Hulk which I didn't watch) to "has to wear a SmartWatch to keep the big green monster at bay" in this movie. (which is akin to the Amadeus Cho "Hulk Pip Boy" it...

    They had what could only be described as an absolutely fantastic success on their last test flight (#13) last week. So I can see that eventually trickling into the stock. If you haven't you might find the video interesting (it's on youtube). At the end they literally landed the Starship so...

    There are some cludgey hacks out there for it on the internet, but in reality it's hard to bypass easily. Which was one reason it was a specific check list item when we went shopping that our new "box of cold" did NOT have any such nonsense included.

    Yeah, and that shit is standard installed equipment on ALL GE fridges with water filtration. One reason GE was straight out when we were shopping. Our Frigidaire uses the exact same filters, but without RFID identifiers.

    I wouldn't mind one of those... I will add, that out on our patio we have our "patio fridge". It's literally a 97 Kenmore that laughs at the idea of time passing. I am convinced it will outlive both my wife and myself.... I think I have mentioned this monolith to reliability in some other...

    Our recent purchase was a low cost Frigidaire and it's been solid so far. I still remember seeing the light in the salesperson's eyes when we were shopping. We walked in and started looking, we had already done a lot of online research, had a pretty solid idea what we wanted. Salesperson...

    I still remember typing in Eliza in BASIC back in the early 80's... I also remember building a version of that merged with the "Animal" program logic tree as part of a project for an early employer to help sales people build configurations correctly. This was all done before 1999, which is why...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    In my case I figured the MCP structure should have been easier. One core MCP, and subordinates running off it from the various things which will eventually be on that machine. (OS right now, NAS next on it, then it will become the new home automation server) But you're right, in this case I...

    I've done calorie counting before. It worked, but you have to lock in and be serious about it. 500 calorie deficit per day off below your burn rate and you'll drop almost exactly a pound a week. At least that is how it was for me. I used my watch at the time to get an idea of my daily burn...

    Same sir.... For me it was the Putt Putt Golf'n'Games in Mesquite. I could ride my bike there from my house. And all I have to show for it to this day are the memories of knowing nobody dared face me in Track and Field, and two trophies from Putt-Putt tournaments.
