Dwarves are like Michael Douglas in falling down. Half step from having enough and going on a rampage. I don't want luch, I want breakfast!

Good thing they have kids that will work for <$1 day to recover it when it's determined that it's useful in batteries or something.

I drove a truck in high school and kept it for a long time that didn't have belts. Just was meaning it they came with airbags. Did not have but can remember the abortion of cars in the 80s the auto buckled your selt belt when you got in, that and were limited to the fed speed limit of 55...

My sister gave me a couple of pics she had of new cars I had bought back 30+ years ago. I never took any pictures. I know how much I paid for each and used my bonus at the time and paid cash for each. Ran the numbers through an inflation calculator. That was depressing. They weren't super fancy...

Heat wave, 34 now. Wed, high of 72 and low of 55 lol.

Apparently that is cause all the power outages in Maine, wind blowing trees down and shit.

If people didn't buy that stuff and put up with it nobody would make it. The reason it gets used heavily is because it's profitable to do so. Imagine that. People have no self control for them or their kids, news at 11.

1 out of 3 without power in Maine. Not just the lower 48. https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2022/12/23/thousands-mat-su-residents-without-power-amid-windy-weather/ Peak wind gusts so far reached 83 mph on the Glenn Highway in Palmer, with the Palmer airport seeing 77 mph, and the Wasilla...

https://www.fox6now.com/news/we-energies-lower-thermostats-winter-storm MILWAUKEE - We Energies on Friday, Dec. 23 urged customers to reduce natural gas use by "immediately" lowering their thermostats to 60 to 62 degrees. In a news release, the utility said the move will allow customers to...

I almost didn't get any. At the store an older couple had every one in the store in their cart. I asked if I could have two and talked a minute. They were buying all of them for a church dinner. I use a 30 year rotissrrie oven and thats all it does. I got it and kept it around for cooking duck...

Parts of TN including Nashville are starting 15 minute rolling blackouts. https://poweroutage.us/

Not sure I can agree with the wind chill they are reporting. It's 19F here now and wind chill of -4. Sun is shining, wind wasn't that bad. I went out and lit a fire in the fire pit and smoked a cigar. I've been in temps -4 or so and this did not feel like -4.

Texas has 77k customers without power on the outtage map. County I lived at in TX list 4 customers tracked, 0 without power. I guess that's all that get there's from the TX grid cause mine came in from LA GA most in the country, 100k. Of course no idea what normal numbers are.

The 2016 flood outside of Baton Rouge where it rained 30" in 2 days and not a hurricane they termed it a 500 year flood. No idea how they came up with that. Especially considering over the course of that 500 years Baton Rouge rain used to drain into the MS river, which is no longer does because...

Haven't played the new version, but did long ago. I do remember having issues with getting rid of all the skeletons and the dwarves didn't like it and would just shut down. Obviously a mistake on my part.

The forecast for the low is steadily moving backwards. Forecast was 12 earlier, then 15, then 18. Now for today it's 32 and tomorrow 21. In the deep south big difference in a low of 12 and 21. And time below freezing is less a day now on the forecast. We shall see.

They really make the phrase "once in a lifetime" have zero meaning. Just here it's been down to 3 once and stayed in 10 or less for a few days (Had lots of oops refinery work cause of it) and 9 years ago it got down to 13 and we had a LOT of ice that shut everything down, we had 2" out front of...

Anyone think the regulators would do any better other than making easier for them to line their pockets? https://news.sky.com/story/ftx-collapse-shows-crypto-is-too-dangerous-not-to-regulate-bank-of-england-deputy-governor-says-12773169

In the past I never really did a Christmas meal. Was gone a lot. Normally would just cook some deer or duck. This year I'm gonna throw 2 cornish hens on the rotissarie and call it good. Never been a big fan of the huge meals with a dozen dishes.

In MS now about 100 miles from the gulf. I see lows on forecast from 12 to 18 so say 15. It's raining here now, hopefully the wind dries the road out before it gets down to <20 at 3am. Normally what happens is it drips off the trees onto the cold road as it gets colder and then bam frozen for...

The forecast for next Thursday says 72F. Of course 14 days ago the forecast for Christmas was 80F.

Our forecast got pushed back. Friday starting at midnight Thursday below freezing and down to 12f. Shows heavy rain at that time. I doubt that.

Depends on the type of geese, espeially Canads come and go by the subspecies. Greaters come last, the cackler small sub come early. Specklebellies move through here in October and November. Late Dec. is best time for Canadas in the panhandle. Snow geese are just damn near open season especially...

It's always a 50 % chance of rain, it either will or it won't. Coin flip.

Ducks and geese know what's coming. Took a nap and got woke up to the sound of circling Canada geese before they landed on the pond. On the way to Mexico I assume. Had a gps backpack on a mallard in college, flew between East, TX and Stuttgart AR every time it warmed up or got cold. Like 7...

Think the weather forecasters are drunk or on strike. Thursday 14 for the low, 69 for the high.

Forecast for Thursday is pretty cold for this part of the world. Currently in MS 60 miles from the gulf, forecast low 14 Thursday. Of course right now it's 34 and been hard rain for several hours.

Recently rewatche the series. Good show. RIP Angel.

Good old extended forecasts. Last week for Christmas the forecast was in the upper 70's. Now it says 15.

I got the largest part of my grandmothers estate land, mineral rights, money, etc...she has one son. There were distant relatives of my nieces that thought they should get something because they went to her house once. My dad got the house and 1 acre. I got the 35 ares surrounding the house...

Hippy commune.

Yeah that was kind of a big ooops waiting to happen.

One issue is getting a large enough percentage of rights holders to sell/lease cause they all think they are going to be mega rich when their lease comes in. My family is very very small luckily. The lease that started paying is on 40 acres my great grandfather bought when he retired as a...

Just caught a glance on reddit yesterday several people who were lvl 90 or so and had no idea that quest in act 2 and 6/7 whatever it is to unlock relics and such and missed it.

Oil could go up now. Got the first payment on one of 3 leases today. 20% per barrel on Louisiana Light. Also I assume people do this or companies would stop offering it. Get contacts often to buy out my lease for X amount. I guess people want the money in their pocket today and not a larger...
