That is a really solid album, I go back and listen to Mr. Bungle's California occasionally, though I pretend like the first 2 songs never existed and it makes the whole thing amazing.

Nice work, Rhyno. But if you clear out that wooded lot to create more work mowing for yourself for no benefit at all, your neighbors will hate you and I'll laugh at your poor decisionmaking. There's a reason wooded lots cost 2x what naked ex-farmland with three-week-old trees landscaped in do when you're buying new.

Because you can't hang hammocks in them?

Just lol at me for being an ambitious land clearer when we build our house. After mowing 3 acres for 10 years I have slowly let the woods reclaim a few feet at a time and might be down to 2.5 acres of mowing. 1 would be plenty.

Leave all the trees unless they are threatening to fall on your house.

I remember when Angel Dust first came out thinking how bizarre it was but it grew on me. These days it would be considered a normal rock album :v:

My son has a G4 Play that I've rebuilt two times, once for just a broken screen, the second time because he rage threw it. That required a new chassis along with screen. The damned thing is still working fine. I've been impressed with that and the Nexus 6 that I had. Go Motorola.

Is that a dehumidifier in the doorway there? Make sure you check the basement very closely for any signs of moisture/leaks. Flooding basements is a *huge* problem in Seattle, and just a major pain in the rear end to deal with. I am lucky that my house does not have this problem, but I was just helping my buddy rip out the carpets in his and his dads house(both the same neighborhood as me) due to water intrusion.

Thats good to see. I have been pretty happy with my moto x4, not the fastest phone but its pretty much vanilla android(I didn't get the android one version due to needing a phone ASAP), does everything I need it to and you can get them for $250 new. has been pretty tough so far, cracked the back panel glass cause I was without a case for the first few weeks, but not bad enough to effect anything.

A dehumidifier in the basement is completely normal in the Midwest but that's still good advice. I run my dehumidifier spring through fall and then run humidifiers all winter so I can pet my cats without getting shocked.

Normal, but not ideal. In the late '90s one of the current waterpoofing systems came about, where there's a waterproofing membrane sprayed on the foundation, then backfilled with a porous material between the earth and the foundation. My house has that, with fiberglass insulation as the porous material :wtf: But the system works spectacularly well... I can use my moisture meter on the care walls or finished drywall down there and they are just dead dry. It's a huge selling point, because it is extremely common to walk down into musty basements, and that poo poo drives me nuts.

Monday at work usually keeps me occupied and I missed lottery chat. I don't have the lottery in Utah but if I were to win I would spend an absolute ton of it. I would help as many people as I could. I wouldn't work again. Set up trusts for the kids and live a nice life. I don't think I would be able to blow through hundreds of millions of dollars like those horror stories you read about. I would buy a nice house in the mountains of Park City/Deer Valley here in Utah and then have a vacation property somewhere warm. I would have ten different cars and other internal combustion powered toys. I would take up hobbies to a more serious degree like photography and videography. I would spend more time outdoors with my family. I would nurture whatever passions my kids find in themselves and push them to be the best at it.

I've thought some more about a big lottery win:

I'd get a reasonably large house, but the garage would be perfect: white walls, spotless epoxy floor and huge tool chests and pegboards of brand name tools.

And none of them would ever be used. They'd sit there perfect and shiny in this dustless shrine.

Their only purpose would be to inspire jealousy in any man who visited me.

Just as effective and much less hassle than a trophy wife with huge silicone boobs and a low IQ.

The house has been unoccupied for months, and nothing has been on so the dehumidifier was a precautionary measure. The basement came back with no signs of moisture.

And I'm not touching any living trees in that yard.

What used to cost me $375 toward the state now costs $95 on each car, and the busywork has evaporated. I no longer have to work with my (personal) auto insurance to insure the vehicle before I can get it titled and registered, as with dealer plates that all simply ~goes away~. Dealer plates and the blanket insurance policy means I have a insurance card and registration that follows the plates and covers whatever vehicle they are attached to. It owns *so much*.

I... thought it was 1989 or 1990 until this post.

It's a drat good album that's aged well. Remaster it and add a bit more kick to the drums, and it would sound downright modern.

That's good to see. I'm really happy with my G5 Plus. Especially for the $105 I paid for it. 4GB RAM, all the cores you need, and I forget how much storage. Until you get into CPU or graphics intensive stuff, it's on par with my far more expensive Essential PH-1.

It'd be nice if they'd release stock firmware the way they used to though, if you wanted to re-lock the bootloader. Or just return to stock.

That's me with Pearl Jam's earlier stuff - I associate pretty much all of Ten with an ex that hosed me over (mentally) really bad, and Vedder's voice on every album reminds me of that association.

Don't let that scare you. It can be intimidating at first, but once you get a feel for it, you're really just softening up some adhesive.

I replaced the battery on my Nexus 6P a couple months ago and it looked ugly, but one step at a time and it went fine, heat gun and all.
