    Car ?'s

    Cool. Yeah, coming from a 4Runner you have a good idea then. I don't have them, but captains chairs in the second row seems good to me, but the third row in the GX460 is pretty useless. I don't know much about the Atlas. I tend to think VW is all about the GTI/R. If you test drive an MDX, see...

    Car ?'s

    I own a GX460. It's not really in the same league as the others. It's a 5,200 lb body on frame (lift-able) NA V8 full-time 4x4. Think of it as a smaller format Landcruiser (overseas its called a Landcruiser Prado) or a 4Runner with all the options (4Runners haven't had v8 since like 2004...

    Understood. There's no firm release date on the 4000s for retail yet, anyway. I think a 3400G would be fine for your purposes. I ran mine with the stock fan and iirc I ran at a fixed OC of 3.9GHz CPU and 1600MHz GPU (OC through the BIOS, not Ryzen Master). This would run Doom (2016) at 1080P...

    https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Core-i3-10100-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3400G/3717vs3498 in general, Userbenchmark favors Intel. And that particular Userbenchmark seems to give the 3400G inferior RAM. AMD performance hinges on RAM. I've owned a 3400G but not the i3. My guess would be that...

    @ver_21 a manual wire brush is the most damaging. At least, obviously damaging in term of frayed wood fibers. The power washer and sander damage as well, but don't leave quite as much mess behind. I'm not sure I want to see what a power wire brush can do. If damaging the wood is a concern...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I started re-reading Zahn's Heir to the Empire series. It's not perfect, and would need some tidying up, but it makes so much more sense as a continuation of Star Wars. Thrawn just fits. And if you have to have a Mary Sue, Mara Jade is at least a bitter one.

    Upside--cadaver penises are relaxed and completely flaccid and appear larger than they were in life. Downside--they might only get a prosection. I kinda like this. Good luck, Jx3.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Is it OK to watch Solo as a guilty pleasure? I like L3, and Harrelson is perfect for me as Beckett, and I really don't mind the recast Han or Lando. The Empire feels a lot like Imperial Guard from WH40K, too. I sort of forgive it as a really good made-for-TV movie. I totally agree that they...

    Thanks for these suggestions. Bluth is Titan AE, too. If anyone else is looking for solid animation for their kids, Studio Ghibli's Porco Rosso, Ponyo, Totoro, Pom Poko, and Howl's are all favorites with mine. Kubo and the Two Strings, Coraline, and Song of the Sea are some other...

    First two houses, we only heard "it appraised". Newest one was for 10,000 over--no worries, we'll hit PMI threshold a little faster. I've heard horror stories of low appraisals but none were conventional loans? So yeah there might be some "rigging". I figure the chances increase with loan type...

    That's just flat out ignorant and lazy by DBG. If they want to nerf chanters, do it in their spell. Bard charm is not OP, and you have to mind it constantly. You can't even get enough FT to keep it up all the time until the very end of Luclin.

    yeah i've been testing it--i disconnect during zoning w/ or w/o drums, and I crash w/ or w/o selos active. If it is selos related, having used selos at any time can screw up your next attempt to zone--maybe the server is having trouble keeping track of player positioning? also, this is only...
