So I have this friend..

That is thinking about moving to a new city with kids who does not want to move (4,7,9,11 yrs). Moving would only be based on that the parents think the grass is greener, and it probably is to some extent. The only reason not to make the move would be the uncertainty of how the kids would handle it. Contra: Pull the kids up from something secure and placing them in something uncertain. Further away from family (that does help with the kids today) Pro: Close to the ocean Less garden and house to take care of More time to just hang out (realistic or just imaginary?) Other Just assuming that the work situation will work out, as it probably would. Yes…

A curb came out of no where and I hit it. Please tell Mr. Jag not to be mad at me. My beautiful wheels of 15 years are now damaged because I cannot drive. We had a good run, wheels. Please, someone make curb sensors. That is all. Drowning my sorrows in a pumpkin spice latte and hoping I didn't mess up a tire. Because I don't know if anything is bent. Again, will you guys PLEASE tell Mr. Jag NOT to be mad at me. And for Mailbox, thanks Obama!

Rose got lucky today, me not so much

Rose was in our '02 GMC Yukon and hit the brake pedal only to have the brake line blow. Lucky for her she was still in the driveway. She was on her way into town but forgot something and went to stop halfway down the drive. Scared the shit out of her though. I on the other hand after looking to see what/where the problem is discovered all the brakelines are rusted pretty good so I get to replace them all. On top of that, my morning was spent figuring out a septic issue at the shop which required digging a ditch in some questionable smelling "mud".

So now I feel like I've either confused everyone or made more sense to the people who are getting to know me. Do a lot of people have different names on here than their PSN ID other than G? Most seem to have just a shortened version of their ID. I'm thinking I may have set a record for name change after joining.

no number on house!!!

No number, no package, very simple people. If you don't have a number don't expect the ups guy to know where you live to deliver your crap. People have houses worth 200k and cant spend $10.00 on numbers. God forbid your having a heart attack and someone calls 911. Are they suppose to ask your neighbor's if anyone is currently dying at your residence? Just a rant people... For those crew members that dont have numbers. Buy them and put them up!

I'm all up for donating to a cause and I donate 1000.00 every year to a charity or a good cause like the local library and little league. I would donate to fight MLS in a heartbeat! Im pretty sure I have done so already in the past and just dont remember. But wtf, this ice water challenge thing is just way out of hand by now. Victoria Beckham, Will Smith, Bill Gates, send water to Africa or send it to California so kids can play with their slip n slide during the drought! Total waste of water!

Game Swap
by JustHatched- 6 replies
- 1.1k views
I was thinking random shit about the PS4 and was wondering what to do with my PS3 games when the time comes. Figured most would go to the kids but even they do not play all theirs, so I figured trade in at Game Stop but they give chump change for games. It hit me that those interested could post up a list of games they would be willing to part with and perhaps we could swap games among the crew. Tricky part is getting them there as real names and addresses would be needed as well as shipping fees. I would be willing to pay to ship a game if someone was sending one to me as well, basically each sender pays the fee. If anyting it is a good idea, in practice maybe not.…

This Thursday I'm actually going away for a few days during one of my vacations. I was going to tell you all that you wont see me in the game. Then I realized I haven't been on much to begin with. My son getting his ps4 and selling his ps3, the other system is already heavily used by my two youngest boys. The only time I get to play is late at night, and unless I take an extra centrum silver. I usually ready to pass out at 10pm. (As Hatch said the last time I played late at night) "It's past tsarney's bed time" My kids use my account all day, and I have the messages turned off. So if it looks like I'm playing lego super heros and not returning your messag…

Talk about a find!
by JusTokenII- 5 replies

So I helped someone move out recently, and they gave me a little organizer that was used for small electronics. It still had hundreds of potentiometers and resistors in it. It also had a curious looking 64 pin integrated circuit with a large heatsink attached to it. I didn't think anything of it and put the organizer with the rest of my electronics goodies. Well today my curiosity got the best of me, so I went out and grabbed the IC with the heatsink on it and removed the heatsink to find a part number and manufacturer on the chip. TRW TDC1010J. 64 gold plated pins in a ceramic package. Did some research on it, turns out to be one of the chips used in original Doppler…

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
