    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I broke my phone yesterday, so we went out to replace it, and naturally, as I couldn't use my phone for music, we were stuck with the radio. For almost the entirety of the ~10 minute drive to the phone store, it was commercials.

    Gardening

    I think next month will be my first anniversary of being a homeowner, and it's been quite the experience. I will say. I loathe yard work. Growing up in more rural areas I was subjected to a lot of it in my childhood and teen years. Now as an adult suburbanite, I've got just a small patch of...

    General video game discussion

    My younger sister finally got herself a gaming computer, and randomly a month or so ago, she gifted me "Peak". It's a co-op physics game where you climb across several levels of weird terrain. Up mountains, through forests, across deserts, and finally up through a volcano. It's a lot of fun...

    Dog advice

    Fleas should be pretty easy to identify. Just check your pup out. Sit down with him and give him a good pet and scratch, and just check his fur. Spread the fur apart and look at his skin for rashes, fleas, or "flea-dirt" which is just a mix of flea poo and blood. It'll be like black specs. Fleas...

    Dog advice

    My partner is a veterinary technician, meaning not a doctor/vet, but knowledgeable in the field. So take this with a grain of salt, and she'd agree that the first step is to consult with your vet first. With that qualifier out of the way, she's not a fan of them. I think most of her concerns...

    Dog advice

    Oh yeah.. It's gross. Yeah, dogs don't have great hands, and not great shoulder mobility, so they've gotta get creative with the scratching. You should keep an eye out for fleas though. They're pretty easily preventable these days with medical treatments. But you definitely don't want them in...

    Today I learned +

    Hey now.. The 245 is a work of art. Taurus SHO is pretty cool, in a subtle way.

    Today I learned +

    Today I learned, that the Ambassador Bridge, the bridge that connects Detroit, Michigan to Windsor, Ontario, is privately owned.. and has been since it's construction. I guess it was really just some naivety on my behalf, as I just assumed a piece of infrastructure that large had to have been...

    Dungeons & Dragons Questers Toy Line Revealed, Due for Release in July

    These are neat. I wonder how big they'll be. Probably too big to be used on a battlemap. Why does everything have to be a blind box/bag now though... :cry: There's been a lot of neat products lately that'd I'd have totally bought, because I like 1/5 of the potential items, but don't feel like...

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    I'm so disappointed, because his POV was the one I was most excited about this season. My GF and I started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, and there's a filler episode in the first season, and we were joking about how TV used to have so many episodes they'd have to pad the seasons.. But...

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    Don't really have much to add that you guys haven't already. It was fine. If next season ends up being really solid this season's transgressions will all be easily forgiven, I'd guess. Did I miss something with Norm? Is there any reason besides plot armor that the radroach infestation decided...

    The oldest tech you still use

    I fear for the future. I'll be 34 this year. We just got an intern at work who's still in college and talking to him makes me feel like I'm turning 74.

    Dog advice

    Adorable pup. If he's already house broken I would maybe not worry too much about it. My dog also hates the rain (But loves romping around in the snow for some reason) and will hesitate to go out when it's raining. But when he's gotta go, he's gotta go, and will get over his fear of rain...

    The oldest tech you still use

    Nothing impressive, but like many of you I have an old(er) set of speakers. Back in 2005-2006ish my mother and brother, who were huge EverQuest addicts, but fallen off the game after Planes of Power, discovered that EQ2 had come out and wanted to get into it. Discovering our home computer...
