LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!

hifi posted:

i know i've said it before but i'm probably just getting tools from harbor freight until the end of time. the chinese figured out steel like 5 years ago and plastic is plastic. i'm not blowing 30 bucks on made in america pliers, especially when that premium probably just goes to line the executives' pockets.

off on a different tangent i'm reading hard boiled wonderland by murakami. dudes got some wild prose about women. almost half way thru.

This is fine for home tinkerers.

When I was working on my tools, I figured out quickly what i could get away with doing Harbor Freight, and what I really actually needed to spend money on. When you're using them for an 8-12 hour shift (or the occasional OT/double), you don't have to time to waste with sockets with slop, ratchets that can't stand torque, wrenches that round off, or anything with poor ergonomics.

A home toolbox that's like 90% Harbor Freight is fine for the vast majority of Americans, tho

Harbor Freight is dope

I've found things that I couldn't find anywhere else that I really needed there on 2 separate occasions. One was a super slim set of open end wrenches, the other was a set of diamond grit hole saws

Do the major streaming services like Disney+ and Hulu have any in-built mechanism that make screensharing not work?

Like if I streamed the mando, and screen shared with zoom or google hangouts, would that work for a communal viewing?

If not, what's the cheapest and best way to have a synched movie viewing experience?

Disney plus and a couple other streaming services added a "watch together" option, I think it syncs you up with friends somehow. Haven't really looked into it myself though.

I agree with that generally, and it was for sure true in the past.

That said, I have some of their new Icon stuff that I'd absolutely put up against my snap on, matco and kd stuff. And their new mid line saws and such are pretty drat nice. I've put probably 2k cuts through the miter saw so far with zero issue.

Larry King very obviously overcorrected but "coffee and socks" is a really loving lame answer when you're asking a tv famous person about what luxury items they like. Just admit you spent an insane amount of money on a watch or something.

e: I should add it's the first one I completed and I have no idea which one to do next, in part because I forgot about the DLC until like halfway through this route.

I would suggest do Black Eagles next.

I know only the very basics of D&D but for the time traveling scenario you mentioned a high level bard that can bullshit their way out of anything seems an obvious choice?

I mean it might be more fun without that, I don't know.

This is the right answer - to further the point, you can make your friend or whoever a login on your account, have them login, then use the watch together option. It’ll ask you who is watching and you select the other acct.

Not sure if Hulu has this but Disney definitely does

:same: with regards to D&D knowledge. I think someone is playing a Bard as well. I was thinking of doing a high level Paladin, but am worried I'll be handicapped until I can armor up

God that’s so true. Even the successful “normal” ones are train wrecks.

The wedding speech by that girls brother... andrei and Elizabeth. I thought the brother was going to get actually murdered

And honestly the dude who was posted above, paul, is a star. He’s such a loser it’s legendary. He took his wife and baby to a sewage treatment plant as a vacation, to show how great the USA is and why she should be happy living in a trailer with a bunch of dogs

I still don't understand the ending or really half the stuff that happened on the final mission. I tried looking it up but no one broke it down Barney style for me so I just gave up and assumed either the other routes explain it, or I just am not meant to know.

Unrelated video game news but cool as hell.

I don't know about this stuff but he's on a podcast about excruciating minutia in pop culture and history with Jeopardy legend Ken Jennings and it's pretty darn good, a solid hour of terrible dad jokes mixed in with weirdly fascinating dives.
