I'm about to do a mirrored 4 TB setup so I'll have both backup and cloud access, I'm just debating on which enclosure, though I'm leaning toward something from Synology. I considered just paying for cloud space, but I like having the data locally for speedy access too.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Yeah for real. He was chilling in that role. I just want to watch his mannerisms over and over again. Yeah, the mannerisms and quirks were crucial in developing how maniacal his character was. My favorite of those is that whenever someone introduces him, he corrects them and uses the other version of his name, i.e. "This is Lou." "Call me Louis." or "This is Louis." "Call me Lou." He always has the upper hand. He's also wearing the stolen watch throughout the whole film and you can tell he is because it doesn't fit him.

 Bought some Cascade hop rhizomes to try to grow my own hops for my homebrew. I'm not expecting much since I live in a horrible climate for growing them (Florida) but apparently people have had luck with Cascade down here, so we'll see.

Picked up a new flash because I thought my old Sigma one finally bit the dust. Turns out it wasn't the flash, something was just wrong with the rechargeable batteries I use in it. They were putting out enough power to turn it on, but not charge it. Oh well, now I have a much much nicer flash and a backup/slave.

Jake Gylennhall really should have been nominated for Nightcrawler. He really did. He got hosed hard. It was one of the more convincing creepy roles that I'm ever seen.

Yeah, I would imagine you'd use it more for peanut butter flavor rather than actual peanut butter, so it would get used in a lot of blended things or as a topping.

spudsbuckley posted:What's with all the retro shave stuff recently? It's considerably cheaper after you own a razor and brush. A year's worth of blades is just a few dollars. I also get a lot off irritation and have much smoother skin. A lot of the problem is that most canned shaving creams have a propellant in them that will dry out your skin.

Bottom Liner posted:Wet shaving is not some hipster trend, the only people I know that do it are old men. It's simply a better and much cheaper method of shaving. Hipsters are all about bad facial hair. I've been doing it for 7 years and I'm under 30. I just like the shave a lot better mostly. I even have travel cases for my razor and brush since I'm on the road two nights a week. I could get away with using a cartridge razor, but I'll never go back to canned shaving cream.

Glad to hear some real world feedback on it. We have one of the higher models at my office and it works pretty well, so I figured the consumer version should work well for all I need, which is pretty basic remote access to files when I'm travelling and a backup of all my photography.

Grumbletron 4000 posted:You can get a jack, some jack stands and the tools to do an oil change for under $100. It takes less than an hour to do on most cars, costs about half of what a shop would charge and its immensely satisfying to do your own work on your car. Yeah, I'll never go back to not doing my own oil. I'd recommend Rhino Ramps personally. You can get them on sale for like $40 and they're a lot faster to use. Once you have the tools oil changes are about $20 for traditional oil and $30 for synthetic.

Toast Museum posted:drat. There's no way I could justify buying these, but with the right outfit I'd wear the poo poo out of them. The trouble is there is no right outfit. This trend of weird color soles and flat out sneaker soles on dress shoes really needs to go away. Cole Haan started all this crap after Nike bought them. Edit: I take that back, clowns need to dress up once in a while.

Decided to finally convert from gas over to electric lawn equipment. Got a hell of a deal on the mower, blower and string trimmer on craigslist and ordered the brush trimmer online without a battery since I already have the three chargers and batteries. My Craftsman mowers motors for the front wheels are dying and it's making it hard to push and my string trimmer is on its last legs anyway.

I have a whole lot of trouble believing that online payments cost more money to banks and companies than the administration fees that come with handling checks. Yeah, I agree, it's super annoying. We also used to be able to turn one of those payments in in person to someone who works in our community clubhouse so we wouldn't have to mail it, but they hosed up processing it more than once and I'm not the only person in our community to have that problem so we just stopped doing that and started mailing it.

A new AC condenser. A rock flew up and damaged the condenser in my year old Mazda 3. I was 3,000 miles out of warranty and even then they said they probably wouldn't have replaced it because it was damage and not failure. There goes $850.

Waterslide Industry Lobbyist posted:Have you checked if it would be covered under your insurance? Might save a bit of change if they will cover it and you have a low deductible. I did and they would cover it but the deductible was $500 and then I run the risk of having my rates increase. I would have also had to wait a bit for whoever they sent it to to give me a new estimate order the part and then get the repair approved. It's already hit 90 in Orlando and I had a 5 hour drive to do for work, so I just ponied up and got it done quickly.

Echeveria posted:It depends on the brand. The biggest cup size victoria secret carries in my band size is a ddd. Beyond that, I have to go to a specialty lingerie store and buy either ddd or e cups. It's basically the same thing, I think, except ddd is probably marketed to make people feel like they don't have enormously huge tits. Keeping in mind that cup size is relevant to band size. Thankfully, I look reasonably proportioned. My wife has the same complaints and she's only a DD. Her other complaint is that barring ordering online or going to specialty stores, the only bras she can find that fit are either really boring or straight up looking like a bra for a 60 year old. The other problem is that she won't wear anything with any real padding because she doesn't need it. Suit jackets are tough on her because she's like a size 6 in the waist and a 12 when you have to fit her chest in.

Evelyn Nesbit posted:You should treat your wife to a proper bra fitting because an actual DD cup isn't going to be that large on a size 6 frame. Also, there are loving loads and loads of cute bras for larger sizes, so long as you're not just shopping at like, Macy's. I've honestly tried. I'm pretty sure she's not wearing the right size, but I have a feeling the size she should be wearing will be even harder for her to find bras in a normal store. That and apparently she got fitted when she was pretty young and hated the experience and it's sort of stuck with her. The one time she was sort of fitted for something along those lines was when we were on a vacation down in Key Largo and stumbled on a woman's bathing suit store that advertized having a big range of sizes. All of their sizing was in UK so her size was something strange, but I remember thinking it converted to something different than what she's wearing now. But yeah, that's her problem about shopping too. She won't even be looking for bras, but we'll be somewhere like Target and she'll see a bra display with something that looks nice and it won't come in anything bigger than a C, maybe a D at best. Alright, real content. I bought a bunch of cabinet dampers to convert my kitchen cabinets to soft close.

Pick posted:She needs a real fitting, most people do. I live in the Midwest but still get my bras when I return periodically to Oregon because there's a shop in Corvallis of all places that knows what it's doing. It's the difference between chronic pain and being functional. I've tried to convince her of that, but she's really stubborn and doesn't seem interested in doing it. She's really weird about interacting with sales people in stores for some reason, which is odd because she's not a shy person at all. It's just people in stores.

It's a rite of passage among mandoline slicer owners. After the third time my aunt cut her finger on hers, my uncle took it from her and threw it outside into the snow. He forgot he did it and it sat there until spring until the snow melted and he found it.
