I have one of those “old” Seiki 39” 4k displays and I love it. It calibrated to 98% of sRGB. I don’t care that it’s only a 30hz display as I am mostly doing graphics design work. (I don’t do much gaming). I got it almost two years ago for $400 delivered and I never want to go back.

I stay away from snow country as much as possible so I don’t have the experience that you do... but I’m sure your right.

We’ve had two people taking showers, someone washing dishes and the washing machine going at the same time? What more do you want?

If you own your home consider upgrading to an on-demand hot water heater. They have no tank so you never run out of hot water. Ours is gas powered and super efficient. They cost more up front but even with the low cost of propane the return time is only about 5 years.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you there. My brother and I learned to team up on Contra and beat the hell out of it. We got to the point where we could get through the whole game without a single life lost. The next time through when it got more difficult we would only lose one or two. Third time through the game…

I did the equivalent with a cross threaded bearing housing on a bicycle crank case. Had to weld on a 3 food angle bar to get the leverage needed to turn the damn thing. The new bearing case went in easy as pie though and it all worked out.

For anyone (like me) who didn’t know what these thread repair methods were, I refer you to the following:

I’ve actually used the work computer to edit and print my bosses resume. He was looking to get out of his job so I helped him polish his resume and print it out. I had been working with him across two companies and multiple locations for more than a decade. But still, it was a bit surreal.

Don’t be afraid to ask the following questions:

Life mimicking art.

Not really. Solar output is about 1400 watts per square meter. That’s full sun. Even with 50% efficient panels (well above industry standard) you are going to get less than 5K watts going into your batteries. On a Tesla 70D that would mean 14 hours of full sunlight.

I got the chance to cooperate in a April Fool’s joke this year. Bella Chartrand from the Utopia reality show had me do a photo-shoot with her like she was getting married. I put together some photo collages for her to put on social media. These are sample pics. The bigger files are on my deviant art page.

Maybe it's just me, but this looks like it should be the villains attack craft in a Bond movie.

Not just Christians... or have you missed all the news from the middle east? Islamic fundamentalists are WAY more conservative than most "hardcore" Christians, especially when it comes to female sexuality. Even the hardline Jewish are ultra conservative.

This trick won't tell always tell you if a place is bad (from auto dealer to fast food joint), but if the place fails this test - it is bad.

I think that may be one of the most profound statements I've ever read.

Happy to see this release for another reason besides République being available to play on non-mobile hardware.

I know I'm gonna get shit for this because he seems to be the popular whipping boy lately but my vote goes to Brian Williams.

Ryusuzaku has the right of it. The problem with barefoot shoes is not the idea but rather the implementation.
