I use a chest freezer and collar instead of the tower. If that fits a corny, looks mostly good? I use something like https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=38013 inside for each faucet because I have a toddler and cats. Also, I use https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B007S3EEWM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_ZK4VKACJ7922QDVEYQ02?psc=1 for beverage line because dairy grade is much better than cheap vinyl imo, especially with water vs something with a lot of flavor. I've been buying new kegs from homebrewing.org because $75 for new vs $60 and cleaning out nasty old root beer is worth it. You can also make soda and adjust the sugar amount as needed. First try at an everclear cocktail did not work out well, watermelon was a bad choice. Repeat edit: if you're going for variety with alcohol, making a Riesling wine kit and carbonating it works well too. Alarbus fucked around with this message at 00:55 on May 28, 2021 |

Advent Horizon posted:Anybody else have an ‘I feel like a beer but don’t want alcohol’ drink? Kombucha is a fairly good substitute for me and also makes my digestion better. I'm partial to really fiery ginger beer (of the non-alcoholic variety). has to be a proper one not a soft drink/Canada dry type variety. I find it close to feeling like an alcoholic drink would as you drink it slowly. I've also been drinking a lot of Vimto recently. The UK's finest cordial drink. I can easily sit and drink 5 or 6 pints of it in an evening rather than having 2 or 3 beers. Makes me need to get up for a piss in the night but actually being decently hydrated feels drat good!

Ether Frenzy posted:Yeah, my original plan was to build him a system until I realized that a $600 pre-built comes with a $300 video card in it, impossible to assemble with cheaper parts at the moment - and the 1060 I have spare and thought I might keep price down with is not as good as what this comes with this in the overall scheme - plus shipping from LA to the midwest. I was ready to walk them through putting the 8 cables that won't fit anywhere else together & installing drivers and OS etc, the kid is bigly Lego competent, and my sister & her boyfriend are fairly capable computer-oriented youngish people (and building a modern system is simple) -- but this works great because I'm no longer Tech Support for any issues they have and they got it in time for the kid's birthday. Yeah so many supply chains are fuct. I managed to put my two pc’s together in late November but had to wait for everyone to be shot and a weekend to line up. Good call on the prebuilt and nixing the laptops. We live in bizzaro world where prebuilts are the better value right now. Earlier this year sh/sc were referring to some Newegg prebuilts as shuckable video cards. In other news I’m taking advantage of some PTO to do a mini road trip and holy cow 441 thru Smokey Mountains park is a pretty drive. The traffic sucks though.

STR posted:I did an 8am meeting already via Zoom, it went well. Already have several people offering to sponsor. And once they go to in-person, it's a mile up the road. Nice! My advice would be to not worry about getting the 'best' or 'perfect' sponsor. Just find someone that shares some poo poo you relate to and ask them to be your sponsor. You can always get a new sponsor whenever you want if they turn out to be crazy or wind up being racist or something that you don't like (it happens you never know just saying). But yeah you need to get a sponsor as soon as possible. Also my lease in Austin starts in June, so I'll be there in like 2 weeks. I have some overlap with my leases but I'll be there soon enough. We'll have to hit some meetings.

KozmoNaut posted:It is probably one of the best remakes of a classic game I've ever played. The driving physics are great, the destruction is wonderfully detailed and there are some great updated versions of the classic maps. Hmm I only just noticed I had both.... and the rest of the old ones on my Steam account. Not sure the difference so downloading Max Damage to have a look see. Olympic Mathlete posted:What were you playing it on? I have the PS4 version and the PC one and the load times are crazy long on both. PC. It used to be very very sluggish but Reincarnation is fine now. Initial level loading still takes a bit, but restarting the level due to raging takes seconds. Still quicker times than when you die in Fallen Order on PS4 which actually poo poo me enough to not play it ever again. EDIT: OK So Reincarnation is the Kickstarter and then they for whatever reason did a remake of the original as Max Damage with all the enhancements that Reincarnation brought about. I got Max Damage free as i was a backer on the kickstarter of Reincarnation.... I've wasted precious time playing the wrong one... Humphreys fucked around with this message at 08:00 on May 28, 2021 |

To give you an idea of how dumb this rental is, they got a Samsung French door front fridge with an ice maker but there’s no water line to the fridge. Also there’s an add-on water filter for the faucet in the extra units kitchen but it doesn’t fit the current faucet there

luminalflux posted:I’m in a rental because lol Bay Area real estate, so we just have a brita jug we keep refilling. It's an easy install and then removal when you move out tho. It's way worth it if you drink lots of water, Brita sucks in that regard. The single filters these days are really good, you don't have to have three giant filters and tanks under the sink anymore to have really good quality water on tap.

Holy crap I actually found an Xbox Series X in stock on Wednesday! At GameStop.com of all places. I guess the fact that they were only selling it via Microsoft’s All Access payment plan kept the scalpers away. It’s being delivered today, just in time for weekend gaming!

I just got this exact unit as well, and yeah I was really impressed with the build quality and it has made my tap water taste fantastic, so I drink a lot more of it. But yeah if you don't already have a hole in your countertop in a rental you kind of can't install one. Otherwise it's cake, it comes with an all-metal T fitting that just goes in line on the sink supply. Fully reversible there.

They get marked down pretty drat hard for the smallest dings (they're often returns from the delivery/install companies scratching them).64bit_Dophins posted:Also my lease in Austin starts in June, so I'll be there in like 2 weeks. I have some overlap with my leases but I'll be there soon enough. Definitely man. And overlap is good - it gives breathing room to get everything out and do as much cleaning as possible. I had 2 weeks overlap when I moved to Austin, but then again, it was only a 3 1/2 hour drive. Went back up to do the final bit of cleaning, hand them the keys, tell them to go gently caress themselves (I wasn't able to even lock my patio door for 6 months, dishwasher caught on fire and they never did anything about it, etc), and still got every penny of my deposit back. I have to find early meetings thanks to my work schedule once I go back, though they've put me on disability for a month. I was spending over $100 a week on alcohol - I'm taking a 33% cut in pay while I'm on disability, but it'll be offset considerably by not drinking. Feels so weird being up during the day. I actually got a sunburn yesterday while biking, I haven't even had a tan in nearly 2 years. For that matter I haven't even been on the bike in nearly a year (Strava says June 29th - I didn't log yesterday's ride, but I'll log tomorrow's). Feels good to get out there again. And I even managed to find my insanely bright bike headlight (it claims 2400 lumens on high - don't know how true that is, but it runs on 18500 li-ion batteries, gets downright warm, and it hurts my eyes to turn on indoors), so I can get some night riding in once I replace the battery in the rear light. I have an easy 12.6 ride planned tomorrow (not counting riding to/from), it's about 2 miles to the trailhead from home (so ~16-17 miles total), and there's plenty of dirt paths/mountain bike detours from the main trail for some fun. We'll see if my fatass can do it. I might cheat and throw the bike in what's left of Brokeback and drive to the trailhead  - just gotta make sure to keep a few gallons of water for the radiator)

Bike ride completed. Wound up being 12.96 miles according to Strava, though I did detour into a park (and pause Strava) to use their water fountains. Sunblock: uh.... I look like a boiled lobster. Didn't expect it to be sunny today. Or hot.  Got one final shot of Brokeback in its natural habitat. Still haven't heard poo poo from insurance, though I know it's a holiday weekend. I just want this poo poo over with... and I'm already trying to find comps, because I know they're going to lowball the hell out of me.   big dong wanter posted:Old friend passed away, he was 30.

Hanging out with my family in North Myrtle Beach for the weekend. Went to the old farmstead in Sardis, which has been pretty ruined since I'd been there last. My grandpa is buried under an old live oak thats slowly dying to vines, so I took all of em off with some branch clippers today. I hope it lives. It's a beautiful spot. I guess this is catharsis.

Hurm, today is not my day for cars. Jeep = Still dead with a cracked oil filter/cooler assembly. Thanks Chrysler. F150 = Finally spat a spark plug out of #3. Threadsert kit on the way. Subaru = Variable valve oil pressure sensor failed Miata = Coil pack died So we have a partially functioning Forrester and a Rx-7. Well and I guess a 240z with a sticking throttle and bad tires. This is going to be a fun. Ugh.

Had no time for car projects when I have house projects. Those are wrapping up and with my other Grand Prix arriving next weekend I will have to see if I am going to save the new one that is more complete but would need everything I have done to the other redone or just take the interior stuff out of the one I just bought and strip it for parts. I am leaning towards moving all my brake, suspension etc... to the new one since it has a clean AZ title so I don’t have to move the NH title to AZ and argue with them about Salvage and Salvage Repaired brands mean.

My storage unit is going from... $49/month to $149/month. I can't find one even half the size for what I'm paying now. Guess it's time to clean it out and get rid of a ton of poo poo (though TBF it's not even half full, stuff is just spread out). I hate using my garage for storage (aside from car-related stuff), but I may have to put some stuff in there. I MIGHT downsize to a 5x5 (have a 10x10 now) for stuff that really needs climate control. I know I was getting a steal on a 10x10 for $49/mo, but I'm used to gradual jumps in rent, not a three-fold increase. Coredump posted:Bike ride you say!?
