    Let's build some pools!

    Didn't notice when looking at the pool damage, but yea, with that huge agregate in the cross section, it looks like a dump of old concrete from when the house got built. Although I can't say I've studied at a lot of boulders when I was in the mountains (ski resorts, Grand Canyon, Black Hills...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    Well, I don't know about this Superman movie, but I though GOTG3 was pretty bad, somewhere around a 6.5/10!

    The Astronomy Thread

    q = periapsis (closest distance to the sun) a = semi-major axis (longest diameter of the orbit) AU = astronomical unit Ga = Giga annum = a billion years ago Gyr = Gigayear = 1 billion years Wiki says Ga and Gyr meanings are switched from above, but that wouldn't read correctly in this...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    Remember going to the video store and renting "old" movies that looked cool, then thinking you watched them all on TBS/USA? Pepperidge Farm's remembers. Our local Fox network (I think it was) ran a whole bunch of cartoons after school that were no longer being made. Scooby-Doo was obviously the...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    It's more clear to use FIAT and non-FIAT as differentiating terms. Currency and money are used interchangeable in the vast majority of the English speakers lexicon. Even the word FIAT has gone though changes over the decades, but most people are more likely to understand your thoughts using...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    What do you think it is? Adoption as a currency has been the number one driving factor of Bitcoin for as long as I remember. The community pushed that narrative hard and some nations have actually made it an officially accepted currency.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Because currency trading has been a thing since forever and people have made fortunes doing it (and also lost fortunes doing it). Buying and selling Bitcoin works the same way.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Exactly this. I had at least two opportunities to get into bitcoin "on the ground floor" but it doesn't depress me knowing that I passed them up. One or two dudes in my WotLK WoW guild used to farm coins while he/they slept, I think they were less than $1 dollar a coin at the time (fuzzy...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Even though the Halfling Rangers start off with limited crafting trainers, I think it was still the best place to be this test. There was no lag and not much of a crowd, really, when compared to my one visit to the Human area, which was stripped clear of mobs and chugging hard due to all the...

    The Video Thread

    When I worked at the alcohol store in college the explanation they gave was that the high end alcohol have better quality control for impurities, which translate into into a less severe hangover. At least up to a point and depending on the type. It is supposedly most noticeable in rum, brandy...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Only one I know if assling Bard has a bone turn in that gives 1s but no xp. The Hemp/Cotton/Gnoll Eye are best bet, and I think they are all in the Human city. I guess it depends on what you want out of it. EQ is so far in my past that 1 weekend every 4 to 6 months was all I needed for a...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    On one hand I kinda agree but, on the other, I hate live service game companies and hope every single person in management stubs their toe on a daily basis.

    House of the Dragon

    ...and then the Nite King just kinda forgot about the living faceless man standing near him.
