I’m not worried about you keeping the FBI out, I just think it is borderline anti consumer that they’d never let you have the code to your own safe.

Funny that Liberty would give the FBI a backdoor code but not you.

The stupid thing about home inspections now is that there are so many apps that automate the report process that you really only need to walk around and take your pictures / make notes. Apps can fully assemble the pictures, mark ups, comments into a professional looking report without (or...

I'll look at the list I have and see if anyone on their staff is similar or provides similar services. The list I made last year was definitely outside of the "home inspection" companies and specialized in new builds, foundation design, etc. But that's a good reference to use and do some more...

Yeah something like that. We have the Star Trek Roku channel on in the background (along with Stargate channel) and just a couple of days ago the Season 6 episode “Timescape” came on where they’re stuck in a time loop because some alien lifeform lives inside the point singularity powering the...

I actually just finished a full watch of Andromeda last night since it is on Peacock. Been watching an episode or so a night while putting our newborn to sleep for the last few months. I have never seen a show more confused about what it is. That show was constantly changing, dropping plot...

I already have 3rd party inspectors lined up to come in for our home build. One at foundation, one at framing, and one at drywall. Not relying on code inspector to catch anything and while I do trust our builder I also subscribe to the Rondal Reagan "trust but verify" school of thought.

Wtf, and then suddenly!

Can people do chargebacks on cards if they used it for rent? That’s sounds terrible if so.

Just saw this pop up this morning: https://markets.financialcontent.com/stocks/article/marketminute-2026-1-19-unlocking-the-nest-egg-trump-proposes-401k-equity-swaps-to-combat-housing-crisis

Hah! No way I’m no sucker. That’s like 7,600 nut kicks over 20 years or $2 a kick. We’re done having kids (I think?) but my nuts are worth way more than that!

I would need to know the time period and frequency of the nut kicks to really evaluate that decision. 2% at 20 years for $100,000 is only $15ish thousand dollars. If that’s 1 kick in the nuts per year that may be worth it. 1 kick per quarter and I’m not so sure.

I feel pretty much the same. Take out all the zoomer crap and you aren’t left with much of a movie except maybe a cool idea that could have worked. Give me a cool Predator movie (without the terrible derp faces) that is just one escalating hunt after another with cool Predator tech (less...

Doing it myself in Gemini probably does as much harm as good. Initial impressions are hard to get out of my head, especially given the amount of money in play and having to live with it for 17+ years. So if that first view rubs me wrong the rest are just uphill battles trying to convince me it...

We went through a similar thing before getting into this build and it was basically a question of would paying off a couple of debts at 2.9% help free up some DTI or keeping more cash on hand for contingency and things that come up during the build process. A lot of spreadsheets later and we...

Only bc they brought in Manny Coto to fix shit. Then as soon as it was going well the whole thing got axed. B&B are the plague.

Might consider this for our new build. Not 100% sure about having a gigantic battery ready to explode in my kitchen, but it is either that or a 1,000 gallon gas tank buried in the back yard. Pick your poison. https://www.impulselabs.com/product

The number of companies enabling that stuff by default is ridiculous, especially all the conference call auto transcribers and summary notes tools. A few of them have even been really good and I can see their use. Did a decent job of describing the call, assigned follow ups, etc. But all that...

Last night I got a Zillow alert that a new home was for sale in our area. Turns out it is the land we bought last year. Brand new drone photos, marked up plot, description. Zillow pulled records from tax assessor or wherever they pull that from even shows it was sold last year. And the dumb...

Saw a random Instagram ad today and remembered this post. No idea wtf these are but apparently it makes you awesome at Call of Duty. https://www.soundbrenner.com/pages/wave-in-ear-monitors Well, now that I look at the website, maybe he just had an ant lion attached to the ear bud. Oh well...

Yeah, probably Amazon's answer to Squid Game reality show but with a Fallout skin.

Doomcuck was right!! Told you guys!

It’s funny because we never played any WH table top growing up but somehow played a ton of Necromunda.

It’s been too long and I couldn’t remember if it was one sided or reciprocated by Garviel in any way. It was just the only real instance I can remember where that topic came up in the first 7-8 books I read. Well, unless you count the huge ship wide hell orgy stuff in Fulgrim. Forgot about that...

Wasn't there some sexual tension or implied attraction in one of the early Horus Heresy books with Mersadie and Garviel? I just remember something about watching him train and getting all hot and bothered.

Pretty sure it is closer to double that if I remember correctly. But it is like the very end of the game so a little more understandable. A little.

I felt the same way at the end of the 3 books and am not sure I even started book 4… maybe, definitely didn’t finish it. I can understand why it has mass appeal and has garnered so much attention, but it is very mediocre. Something about the scale and impact of everything just never resonated...

Did you play Guns of the Patriots yet? Pop some popcorn and hit the bathroom before diving in there.

Just saw you post while replying. I’ll check those out and see if it helps. These were my settings:

No specific provisioning or anything. I’m self employed so use it across multiple clients / jobs. Having said that, OneDrive may be doing something funky? That’s the only type of “sync” I use across files, but all (most) these files are edited locally and not off a networked SharePoint copy. I...

Little annoying issue popping up on my desktop I use for work that I haven’t really tried to figure out yet. It is my old gaming PC that I moved over to work desk when I updated to my 9800X3D and 9070XT. So this one is i7 and 3080 TI. Anyways, I do a lot of copy and paste between Excel...

No lol Nano Banana did all that. We didn’t ask for it haha. I just never asked it to remove them.

I think you're right about that! We'll see what he comes back with for ideas, but you aren't wrong, it could work. And a murder hole of goats sounds appealing. That looks pretty good, thanks for doing that. Wife wanted to see it in more of a Blue because as much as I don't like it, I actually...

Yyeeaahhh that was like item #2 on my annoying list we discussed. The current issue is they’re both bathrooms. You can see where the downstairs one is the floorplan a couple posts above. That bathroom is a full bath outside a planned guest room but acts as the downstairs powder/guest bath. We...

Yeah we discussed the door size and whether we’d want a transom or sidelights, so that’s going to be modified as well. With regards to the porch, that’s also a good idea. We had discussed making that whole area a porch because there is space to pull it out. On phone so kind of hard to clip, but...

I can't post my floorplan and show you my safe room and john wick room and dungeon!

Going through another round of updates with designer / architect dude. Nothing really significant changed internally, just a couple of tweaks to walls and pushing and pulling things here and there. We're starting to get into looking at elevations and immediately had a glaring issue: The entry...

Just a little late but finally on the way!

Thanks. That’s the most I have ever and will ever see of that movie.
