Lord of the Rings Online is in its own league when it comes to music playing. There’s a dozen different instruments and you can upload midi files to automate songs. It’s a fairly regular occurrence to find a group staging a concert in Bree with all the different instrument parts synchronized.

I’ve played Lotro on and off over the years and it really is a quality piece of work, with a lot of attention to detail and much love for the source material. It definitely should be at the top of this list.

If you want to build a train, you hire architects and engineers and contractors and builders. Notice how “tech startup” is missing from that list.

You’re not on the road early enough. Jams are forming at 5:30 these days and it keeps getting earlier.

As a self-appointed beer nerd I often get frustrated with people that refuse to try more interesting kinds of beer. But I’ve realized that’s only because my personality leans toward adventurous tastes and those people are different. Once I understand that someone is honestly enjoying their comfort zone and not being…

You can also look for a homebrew supply store and buy dry malt extract. It’s not quite the same thing as malted milk powder but it will give you a more concentrated malt flavor.

Can California’s electrical grid even handle that many EVs? I already get notices from SCE asking me to turn off my AC on hot days. Imagine the surge of millions of vehicles being plugged in at the end of the day. That’s not even taking into account building all the charging stations at homes and apartment buildings.…

This guy started another band called Gloryhammer. Its fantasy themed instead of pirate, but equally over the top and amazing.

As mentioned in the article, humans eat primarily muscle and fat, but cats and dogs will eat everything. This means that if you feed your pet the same food you eat, they miss out on some of the nutritional elements they should be getting. And as some others have mentioned, we season our food very heavily and not all…

I find the best way to use reviews is to look for common problems. But this goes beyond just looking at the star rating and the number of reviews. If the product has a consistent problem people seem to leave 3-4 star reviews, so I start by looking there to see if the same thing comes up over and over.

I before e....always.

The British have been stubbornly hanging on to all their extra ‘u’s for nearly two centuries. The GIF pronunciation argument won’t likely die until the format does.

But how well do they hold their champagne?

I would like to add: Don’t Ship 80lbs of Beer in a Cardboard Box. I know this from experience.

It wasn’t an FPS but Magicka:Vietnam was pretty fantastic.

I do the exact same thing. Waking up is the worst part of the day.

Being a child of the 80's I have much <3 for the wedge, and while I won’t call the 308 ugly, you do have to find the right angle to make it look good. The 288 however, is perfect.

Big Bear is also small, lacking in terrain, and has to cater to the entire skiing/riding population of a 20 million+ metro area. Yes its expensive to get away to a big resort halfway across the country but its totally worth it.

I do this as well. My job has me working a different location every day, and driving 3-4 hours on top of the 8 hour work day, and despite dealing with people it’s still very isolating. So I take one evening a week and spend it nursing a couple beers at a local bar while working on my social skills.

I grew up going to T-road as well. Best race of the year was always the Enduro. 50-100 cars crammed onto that tiny circuit, mostly driven by rookies. It’s pure comedy at the start, and genuinely exciting racing once the herd got thinned out.
