Yeah there was one or two misfires that exploded right on the ground and you could tell a chain reaction or two happened. If you can see from the aerial they were set up decently spread out (note: I have no idea how far decent is for fireworks). Our home builder is actually the guy that sets the...

You know I really don’t have a reference for cost of fireworks and display. It was almost exactly 30 minutes though because we all kept looking at each other wondering if it was ever ending. My only feedback to them would be that 15 minutes is probably enough. Plus we were close enough that...

Multi-Room Audio In our new build I want to toy with the idea of multi-room audio. Not interested in multi-zone or whatever we used back in the 80s and 90s. At most this will be to wirelessly play Spotify while on the porch, maybe put some music on in the garage workshop, and maybe in the...

Not directly home build related but we had a 4th of July celebration out in the new neighborhood where the house is being built. Everyone comes out, kids set up little tables selling lemonade, homemade cookies, bracelets, whatever. Then at 9pm they started the fireworks. $6,600 worth I was told...

I just finished the first "dungeon" thing and, yeah, it is actually pretty good. Seems like a lot of different systems that can get deep but aren't necessary to just go through the game.

I did go ahead and try to install Bazzite tonight on my gaming PC to dual boot and give it a shot. Took about 10 minutes total between downloading the ISO, writing it with Fedora Disk Writer, Installing, and logging into Steam. Even came with Steam pre-loaded. Haven’t run anything yet, but it...

Jeez, the one kind of interesting Steam Cube thing…

Yes but “omnidirectional” generally refers to radiation in a particular plane, usually azimuth, not equal in all 3D directions. So what they’re lazily arguing is that if you wall mount it you’ve changed the orientation of the radiation pattern to be “omnidirectional” up/down instead of spread...

If you haven’t use the Outlook web app since like 2020 you may still feel like it is completely unusable. These days I forget I’m in it entirely and has some decent features. I do occasionally need to run Outlook Classic bc it has much better drag and drop emails to Explorer folders. I may try...

They did but I think the nuance is that most stuff previously accepted by FCC is still good, they just can’t bring in anything new because they’d never be granted a license. I really looked for something US based and Skydio exists, but really didn’t seem to cater to the consumer/prosumer...

Maybe like…. Psychogoreman and Destroy All Neighbors with a touch of Onyx the Fortuitous?

This is a very special kind of low budget fun movie that works. At times it feels like everyone is in it for $50 and a pat on the back or just chipping in to help out a friend. Okay. Actually most of the movie feels like that. Then other moments are hilarious, so over the top, and just corn...

Feels like we already know how this ends since LIV has pretty much collapsed in real life.

That's going to be the driveway, but they've laid that down to park and pull in heavy equipment, so it doesn't further tear up the lot in the event of rain and such. Daddy @Bandwagon going to make fun of my noob drone shots.

Messed around this morning and took a series of photos at the site and used WebODM to put together a 3D model. Shockingly easy and fast. Pretty cool though! Should be really interesting to see how it looks when framing starts.

We watched about half of it last night and thought it was pretty good. 3 year old (2.75 year) laughed at the sheep. Definitely worth a view!

Bought a DJI Mini 4K to take pictures of our home build. It was "Used - Like New" off Amazon for just under $300 so figured why not. Never had a drone, will be fun to play with and kids might like it. What I wasn't aware of was the whole "binding" process of the drone and controller and user...

This was pretty much exactly what it appears to be. The plane crash scene was pretty intense and well done as far as that goes. Some of the shark stuff was over the top but I don't know how many different ways you can show sharks eating people in different movies. Nothing really happened though...

This week Conversation Tree Press will be opening up pre-orders for Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. The full link goes into detail about some interesting design decisions and techniques they've used to put this printing together...

I mean, in his defense what you named landed pretty close chronologically. He-Man was 83, GI Joe 83, Transformers 84, Gobots 84. Technically that wouldn't disprove anything because they were a simultaneous product of the deregulation that allowed what he is saying. Ads for Slinky existed way...

Oh, Shovel Knight team? That sounds promising. About to wrap up Nine Sols and need something else to mess around with on the side.

Yeah, I have the same feelings. Having just watched Obsession and Backrooms back-to-back and then this last night, it did not leave a great impression. I guess it is fine but by the end I had already checked out and stopped caring, and then especially the very end with the bellboy again and the...

May as well keep up the spam. Footings were trenched and poured last week. I did an overlay with the foundation drawing just to goof around and see what lined up. Obviously, it isn't going to align perfectly. It is just a stationary drone aerial pic not a georeferenced orthomosaic. I would...

No, I just mixed my measurements display when typing it out instead of saying 30" twice. And his detail does literally say 2' - 6" but that is not what I'd say in real life bc 30" is faster. Hah, my bad for swapping in paragraph. I see what you're saying about the downspout. That's interesting...

Jeez between this and Obsession I feel spoiled. This was amazing and right up my alley. People in the thread have referenced a ton of stuff but if you've ever wanted to read a book that has as similar feel give House of Leaves a twirl. It is a frustrating read but that adds to the...

I just saa your response to this bc I guess I wasn't notified due to multi quote? Very good timing bc just today at Kroger we picked up some fat free Fairlife and already have some ON vanilla protein powder, xanthum gum, and regular vanilla pudding. Can get some fat free if we need it. Going to...

Wow... this was all sorts of crazy and great.

I don't know, finished this last night and thing the thread is a little too critical. It definitely had misses but overall, it was a MK movie with a lot of fights and fan service and ridiculousness. I'd watch an MK3 if they can make some improvements.

I don't know man, tried to find someone local and through Facebook builder groups. Unfortunately, our drafter / designer is still stuck in the stone age and his renders are as bare bones as it gets so had to look elsewhere. Did use an American bro to do our HVAC Manual J, D, and S! Yeah, of...

Had a couple of recent meetings as things progress on the lot. Most importantly final windrow meeting. When we showed up the first thing he told us was that the manufacturer rep pulled their ability to sell us the Weather Shield Classic he had previously quoted and we would need to move up to...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29762861/ This is really, really bad. I'm a sucker for anything Dichen Lachman, but this is approaching or beyond unwatchable. Funny that Stephen Dorff is in this, like trying to get back some of that Blade experience or something. Mena Suvari looks about 67 years...

FYI, every Cradle book is free on Amazon Kindle to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the series. Definitely worth picking up just to have in your library and if you ever get around to reading them. They're all very quick reads and fun. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753FP6SP

hah that was going to be my response too, like wtf is going on here Asylum? The guy doing it has directed two other Asylum movies; 24 hours to d-day and Planetquake. Pretty sure I saw Planetquake. This should be amazingly bad, will wait til it comes on the Roku channel.

Conversation Tree Press just announced that they'll be doing a printing of The Expanse in 2028. I'm kind of torn on this because Subterranean Press has already done a whole print run of the series. And this is yet another duplicate that will devalue the Sub Press versions and it is just goofy...

Roswell I think also. Veronica Mars had 3 seasons and a movie campaign.

Since we’ve recently had this conversation with our builder his feedback was that they will do windows first and then siding. Reason being is that you want the window in place to correctly flash the sill, header, and sides, do the sealant correctly, and then come back with trim and siding to...

I’m probably the only one following this, but just in case. Kickstarter for books 10-12 started today. Hard to believe this has been going on since 2021 I think? I’m not big on any of the extra stuff, but I like having a matching number signed set of all these. He may have released another...

For the low low price of $17,409.75 https://argentcomics.com/editions/btkj-avant-garde-edition/
