    They could always just adjust the "reindeer -> human" form slider bar a little more towards human and do it with a midget. Hat always on would let them make the antlers part of the hat.

    MLB 2024: Rangers Conquer Texas, Then America

    And it wasn't even like he was having some type of anti-Rangers bias in play. Right after those three in a row against Langford which even had the booth crew throwing shade on him he turned around and called a couple like that against the Astro's hitters as well. Because the Rangers announcers...

    Death and... Taxes.

    Just wrapped mine up... It's the largest check I have written to the IRS. But at the same point I did 150%+ of my quota last year, plus had a lot of company RSUs vest so this was expected. Still blows goats to write this check.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    "We've taken three cybertrucks and modified them to be lunar buggies..... Here you can see where Hammond is doing donuts while Jeremy is the first man in history to draw a penis on the moon with tire treads. Meanwhile, James May is looking at some rocks." (And I would pay money to watch that...)

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I believe the reason they had to walk away from the traditional format was legal involving the fact that the BBC owned the rights to "Top Gear" and it's associated bits and bobs... The first couple seasons of grand tour literally felt like they were doing a parody of their old show and the BBC...

    OK, so as someone who hasn't seen the movie or the show. They're re-tellings of the same story? Movie isn't the intro to the show, right?

    I thought this was a spin off from their appearance in the HBO Max Doom patrol series.... Where it turns out ONE of them was gay and essentially pining for the other as I recall.

    There was a time when it was a ritual amongst my friend group to do movie nights. Especially the weekend that big scifi/fantasy movies opened... Now I'm in a world where I still haven't seen Dune 2 despite being a fan of the IP, and having heard it was pretty good from some people I trust...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Any application that needs an immutable ledger of activity can benefit from the technology. But the fact is a ledger is only as valuable as peoples trust in it, and we haven't reached a point where people trust the concept of blockchains and cryptocurrencies yet. I know a person who wrote...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I think what you're thinking about is the NFT as digital collectable bit for the most part. What I was talking about was using NFT's as a non-fungible and reliable means to show actual possession/ownership, not fractional ownership. Things like right now I have to keep track of a lot of...

    It's how young "unicorn" companies trying to hockey stick can attract talent. Once they reach the "profits actually matter" point you see them pivot to massively limit/reduce stock based compensation. Which means those initial geniuses no longer have golden handcuffs and leave.. which leads to...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    The problem will be that the government will see it as it's solemn duty to be the custodian and sole authority over that blockchain rather than have a truly distributed and secure one... Mostly because they can't fathom not having control to abuse it at their will.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    This is actually the EXACT real actual use case for NFTs. Tokenize an NFT to represent any given asset you could own. Home title? NFT. Car title? NFT. Each share of stock in XYZ corp? NFT. The problem will arise in that only a somewhat iron clad trustable secure blockchain can be...

    Yeah, I thought the previous April Fools stuff was un-funny enough. But congrats to @Lightning Lord Rule on setting a slightly higher bar. I'm logging out. I'll check back at some point maybe to see if it's rectified. Not having any notification on here as to why, no response from LLR in...

    I found that if I "reset" (i.e. respawned) my Astrolabe forest realms then ran around and did all the puzzles, and farmed mats I get a decent rate of essence. Also make sure you have that essence charm, seems to considerably up the drop rate (especially when farming mats). Spam collect as...

    Yeah, if I hit any puzzle where it's more than 4 tones and I can't see all of them I just skip it. I assume there's definitely going to be a substantial patch before "real release" happens. Question will be if it includes a "We're wiping EVERYTHING" card getting played. That and some...

    When I see those "intellect" challenges if they're more than 3 pylons (or if the pylons are scattered around some structure) I either skip them, or just click a wrong one over and over to farm bound for whatever reason....

    Around 19 hours in now. At this point the biggest survival aspect will be "Surviving until they finish development/polishing of the game". It's giving me No Man's Sky initial launch flashbacks, but NMS at least somewhat redeemed itself with later content/fixing. Most of the reviews in here...

    This is true so long that your finances accommodate and allow for you to liquidate assets to pay the bill, which is what I'm doing this year. Question is which assets to liquidate.

    I don't see it as failure. That extra $7k I had would have gone into investments and such. Meaning that paying it now, I still keep whatever I made on it while I had it.... In my case I had a lot of Stock RSU's vest, plus being in sales I had an "above quota" year to the tune of around %150...
