    do these really do anything? i've heard that airflow is more important than the actual temp of the machine. the temp differential of the coolant when it evaporates and condenses is so high, that shading your coils really isn't doing much.

    I think it would be so easy to work Deadpool until so many other movies. Just every time he talks, have an explosion or car horn go off so you can't hear him cuss and what is probably not a rated R movie

    I'm listening to Andy Serkis's recording of LotR trilogy. He obviously nails golem, but does well with all the other voices as well. What has become most important is when a male narrator does a female voice, he doesn't end up sounding like a tranny. Jeff Hays has amazing range. If the...

    my guess is donut dies; carl merges w/ the ai, some primal compatible host for more control, carl reverts the planet while keeping the ai's power to protect earth.

    i'm in book 11 right now too. i tone out when it's a stat dump. i assume the book just has an old D&D style stats page that you would quickly skip over. it's a much more chill series than DCC and I can enjoy w/o having to pay super attention to.

    i think you'd be surprised. there's a few vocal traders, who have the knowledge to do that many transactions and share that knowledge, an important overlap. while the rest of us rarely sell anything, most our stuff is probably in a 401k.

    The problem is the market in Austin is crazy in favor of the buyer right now, so I really need to move out and do a facelift on the place. Selling while I'm working from home and it needing work will really stretch how long it's on the market

    the depth of what's going on, not just on planet, how it's all tied together and the multiple groups, legends, and mysteries, I can't keep it all straight in my head. bravo sir, you've built a very immerse world and I can't wait for the next book

    I never played sub zero, but I played the first one a ton. It was a fun game to solo and zone out. I don't know the story behind dei fucking up sub zero, but how can this be bad? Just give me a new zone and shuffle the recipes with some jump scares and creepy sea monsters

    i'm about to start book 9, hawkie is still hawkie. not always 'in the group'. not his last 'creation', so you get additional 'young' personalities. hearing hawkies perspective rubs me a bit, but he's not always part of what's going on.

    I have a small island in my kitchen that's linoleum that I've considered changing to butcherblock. Seems like an easy weekend project. My fear is the current top is glued down, so removing might damage the cabinet base.
